Makulay na Buhay.. :)

Color is one thing essential in our life, thus what could be more appetizing than lively yellows, greens and reds on the table! These M&M mugs i found tucked in a corner at the Sunshine supermart. When i was going to pay at the counter, the cashier was sad i found them because she was hoping to get it soon as payday comes. I felt sorry for her that i actually apologized for buying it! :)

And these lovely colored plates were bought at SM and Tiongsan. So much for patterns and sets for eating, i want to enjoy my food and what better way than to add colors to everyday food!

A simple breakfast with the Hubby.. garlic fried rice, longganisa, tuyo and eggs!

Tuna Ham Carbonara

Here is my take on a famous pasta recipe that almost anyone can whip up. For the pasta, cook a 500 gram package according to directions and set aside.


For the sauce:
1/4 k. chicken ham sliced into strips
6 cloves garlic, diced
1 small can Century Tuna in oil or brine
1 box Alaska cream
1 pack of Knorr cream of mushroom soup (dilute in cold water)
dried basil
ground pepper
salt to taste
grated cheese (Magnolia Cheezee)


Heat some oil and then fry up the ham until a bit toasted, then dump in the garlic. Saute until garlic is golden brown, add the tuna and stir. Measure 1/4 tsp. of dried basil and place on the palm of your hand and rub it before sprinkling into the pan. This way the flavor and aroma are released. Then season with salt and pepper. Pour in the cream soup base and cream. Bring to a boil. Turn down heat. The sauce will thicken due to the cream soup base. Adjust flavors according to taste. Plate up some pasta, pour the sauce and top with grated cheese. Yum! :)
