fav sandwich!

In this blog post, lemme tell you about my favorite sandwich! My favorite sandwich is all related to avocados. Avocados for me are the vegan version of butter. I love the texture when you combine it with crusty bread. The very basic sandwiches will probably avocados with chili flakes. This is so amazing. I probably already eat this a million times in my whole life. I never thought that I am gonna make a blog post about it considering it’s just a pretty basic food I have at home.

Now the basic is already been revealed, it is all up to what I have in refrigerator. It could be chicken, egg, shrimp, or any other protein. I will add it to the top of the avocados hehehhe Isn’t easy to make sandwich? Well, at least it is easy to make my favorite sandwich! So, until next time ~

mushroom, broccoli and cheese spaghetti

This is what I eat with my nephew for this past few days lol what a bad aunty. I made him instant food because my sister is giving birth to another child. So I have to take care of my nephew and feed him. I see that I have instant marinara sauce and cream cheese in the refrigerator. So, I just bought fresh mushroom, broccoli  and wheat spaghetti. 

All I have to do is cook the spaghetti as usual. While the spaghetti is cooking, I chopped 1:2 combinations of garlic and onion. With another pan, I melt the butter, add the garlic+onion until the fragrance is coming out. Then I add chopped mushroom and broccoli. Cook it until the mushroom is softer. Don’t forget to add salt and pepper then I  add the marinara sauce. That’s it.

Just serve the spaghetti with the mixture of mushroom and marinara sauce, top it with cream cheese. it is so easy and so yummy. Nom nom nom

I usually made my milk coffee too to accompany this bowl of amazingness and watch some Korean drama while enjoying it. what is your favorite weekend breakfast? tell me ;)

chicken sandwich

Look at this baby :O It's a very fulfilling breakfast oh.my.god. but surprise surprise it only takes 15 minutes to make it. You are curious, right?

Let's get started!

1. Season chicken breast with salt and pepper then leave it in the refrigerator.
2. Now, wash the veggies (lettuce and tomatoes).
3. And then prepare the cheese.
4. Now, toast the bread with olive oil or butter or margarine. you can use toaster or oven.
5. Meanwhile, in a bowl make a batter of 1 egg, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 2 tbsp flour, a pinch of salt and freshly grounded pepper. mix it.
6. Add water (until it becomes a lumpy batter). be careful not too make it too runny.
7. Now, coat the chicken with the batter. and deep fry it. I prefer double coating (after its golden, i dip it again to the batter and then deep fry it again). This way the chicken will have a crispy skin.
8. Serve it like a normal person would like to eat sandwich hehhehe bread, lettuce, cheese, chicken, mayo, tomato sauce then bread again.
9. And now you are done and you will have the easiest and the most delicious chicken sandwich you ever had!

see ya later :)
