Foodie: Chicken with Rosemary and Thyme in Cream Sauce

Hello friendships!!!
Lapit na ang Mother's Day, hayyy I miss my Inay so much, kung malapit lang ang Pilipinas,,,
Anyways, baka gusto nyo ipagluto mga mother nyo this is very easy peasy recipe at napakahealthy pa.
My husband kasi joined yung parang cycling race so we are preparing his body kaya need nya ng protein sa diet nya at medyo kailangan mabawasan ang carbohydrates, di naman talaga kailangan career-in kasi wala namang prize yun pero syempre kailangan safety first, saka para hindi sya mahirapan gaano sa race.

Kaya I prepared this for him =)  (Hon, sulit ang flowers hihihi)

Lemon Chicken with Rosemary and Thyme in Cream  Sauce

Ingredients:

Chicken Fillet
Butter
Salt and Pepper
Lime (or Lemon)
Rosemary
Thyme
Milk (for the sauce)

Rub the chicken fillet with salt and pepper, thyme and rosemary, marinate in lime or lemon for about 30 minutes (medyo nagmamadali kasi ako pero mas matagal mas masarap).
Melt the butter in a medium heat pan and fry the chicken fillet.

For the sauce
In the same pan, put the marinade juice stir for 1 minute, put some milk (ung dito kasi flote yung tawag parang thick milk parang evaporated milk siguro), let it simmer until medyo thick na yung sauce.

Serve and Enjoy !!! =)

Simple Happiness

Hi Ladies!!!

How are you? Eto, I just saw this yesterday, just a reminder to all of us to be extra sensitive to other people around us =)

I am always careful with my words whenever I talk to someone, sabi nga nila ang tahimik ko at tipid magsalita, sometimes I don't really want to react kasi I am afraid to say something wrong unintentionally, pero minsan others are being insensitive. For instance, I've been jobless for a year now, it may not be a choice but really there's no opportunity coming my way, ano magagawa ko andito ang asawa ko at itinuro ng Inay kung saan ang asawa mo doon ka. There's ongoing recession here which started last quarter of last year reason why it is hard to find a job. I can finish 2 movies in a day, learning some recipes, blog hopping, sometimes we go out but since we are in a budget we don't go out as often as before plus the weather pa pag malamig nakakatamad talaga lumabas, minsan nakakainip talaga as in, but sometimes I will hear directly pa to others na Oh zig na istuck ka na dito sa norway, o kaya in a group conversation someone will say na I can't imagine myself jobless orwhen I was jobless and  just at home nakakabaliw!, truth is I get hurt and awkward yung feeling, minsan I don't know how to react sinasabi ko na lang parang ako, but some naman I get was like a concern na asking kung hindi ako naiinip that one super appreciated ko, so far I am same as before medyo baliw pa din hihihi!

My husband appreciates everything naman, that I sacrificed my career and be just here beside him, so happy naman ako sa decision namin, and our main reason naman talaga is to be together bonus na if I get a job, that is what he always telling me, and he is also doing his best to make me feel secure and well entertained hehehe pag naiinip na ako hehehe.

Actually segwey lang itetch dapat e, napahaba na ang daldal ko talaga hihihi. 

Eto talaga game na... 

I got my pasalubongs yesterday from a friend (many thanks to you!) who just came back from Philippines, ay pag Philippine products talaga ginto sa paningin ko, like ang daming cheese dito pero iba pa din ang Eden Cheese di ba, a lot of yummy cakes here but nothing beats ube macapuno cake ng Red Ribbon, dahil happy eaters tayong mga pinoy there were a lot of restaurants I want to try, hay,, and mga spa, derma, parlors, na gustong gusto ko maexperience, usong uso sa atin mga staycation sa hotels,, beach hay ang sarap mangarap.

 But for now I will enjoy muna these yummy treats. Simple Happiness!!!

Mga Friends who are in the Philippines,,

Super yummy nito na bawat kagat ko I can't help myself to utter the words "ANG SARAP!!!" konti konti nga kagat ko ninamnam ko talaga, hehehe,,, ikain nyo na lang ako ulit hehehe,, 4 pcs yung laman nyan e, 1 lang nakain ni mark pinalamang na sa akin yung 3 hahaha,, (kawawa hihihi)

Yesterday my husband brought me some flowers..Simple Happiness!,, ngayon advantage ng housewife, I appreciate more the things he is doing for me, mas nakikita ko yung efforts nya to make me happy (LEGAL WIFE) wahehehe siningit lang,, nanunuod ba kau nyan Legal Wife trending palagi sa facebook yan hihihi,, pinapanood ko din yung Ikaw Lamang ang gaganda ng background music tagos sa puso hehehe.

Enjoy the day!!! mwahugs!!! =)

Hi Ladies!!! =)

happy weekend!!! How are you doing?

I've been neglecting this blog for a while, good news is tapos ko na panoodin ang Season 8 ng 24,, I am so excited because they will open a new Season and will start on Monday,, kaso wala pa kaming TV wahehehe,, nung Tuesday my husband asked me to go out to look for a good TV, kaso ang mahal over budget para sa amin, ako kasi I don't like to buy unless talagang may naipon ako for that, natetempt na ako gamitin yung sa 52 day challenge ko kaso meron talaga akong pinaglalaanan nun, isang advantage ng single income ***takot gumastos*** tapos may ugali din ako na ayaw ko nung "ok cge, ok na yan" gusto ko yung gusto ko talaga tutal isang beses lang bibili nun pangmatagalan na, pwede kaming bumili ng TV kaso hindi yung gusto ko talaga kaya magintay na lang ako until maipon ko yung pangdagdag. Totally different talaga yung buhay ko dito kesa nung sa Singapore, doon 55" ang tv namin, ngayon talagang wala, e gusto ko sana same size din sana (maarte lang ako), since we are a little broken hearted kasi wala kaming naiuwing TV, we ended in a cinema, we watched Spiderman 2 (naiyak ako nung namatay si Gwen Stacy ang ganda pa naman nya, dapat mas maganda yung gaganap na Mary Jane), sabi ko kay Mark "gusto natin malaki TV  o ayan ang laki" hehehe.

Finally, I have this book na, been looking for this kahit nung nasa Singapore pa ako kaso palaging out of stock, medyo tamad kasi akong bumisita sa bookstore dito kasi konti lang english na nakikita ko, buti na maaga kami sa airport going back here from Oslo kaya nakabili ako. I will start to read this next week, full packed kasi ang weekend namin =)

and super excited for the movie

Ang dami ko pang kailangan sa bahay (bukod sa TV hahaha) mga small items lang naman, kaya di pa ako makapag decorate ng house, grateful for good friends around us, got a gift from a friend here para daw sa house kasi kakalipat lang namin.

 Beautiful orchids. Yahoo may kasama na akong living things dito sa loob ng bahay pag wala si hubby hihihi!!! Di ba di ba ang ganda ganda ng mga bulaklak =) nakakaganda ng araw =)

And for my finale... eto ang sarap sarap nito pramis yan walang echos... kahapon kasi may training sina hubby kaya after magbike diretso sila dito sa bahay and I prepared seafood pasta yan dapat kaso wala akong gaanong makitang pusit dito kaya tuna and shrimp pasta na lang hihihi,,,

Enjoy the weekend friendships!!! =)

life lately

Hi friendships!!! 

Musta na kau? Sorry naman ewan ko bakit busy ako lately pero parang hindi naman hehhehe o siguro kinatatamadan ko lang magblog,,

I am enjoying our new place so so so much!!! The location is very nice, just a short walk to 4 supermarkets and Asian Store ( where we can find Filipino products) and also very near to sentrum.

The weather here is very good, nakalabas ako kahapon ng hindi nakajacket hehehe sarap ng feeling hehehe :) 

Last Thursday we went to Oslo, I was very excited to visit starbucks kasi andaming nagrecommend how yummy yung choco crepe cake sa starbucks kaso wala sa Oslo nun been looking sa lahat ng nadaanan namin pero wala wahehe(major disappointment hihihi) anyways if you're in Manila pakitikim at inggitin nyo na lang ako hehehe,,, 

One of the things I miss in singapore is TGIF, and I am very happy to find one in Oslo!!! 

I've ordered the Jack Daniel's glazed para sa baby back ribs kaso bbq yung dumating pero oks na din :)))

I am slowly liking to bake talaga, dati it's just an idea lang, but when I saw a friend doing it in actual wow talaga,,, Pero I discovered na mas like ko pala paggawa ng bread kesa mga cakes and cupcakes 

siguro kasi natatamisan ako sa cakes at cupcakes at masarap merienda ang mga spanish bread, pandesal, cheesebread noh classic lang sarap sa kape hehehe.

Thanks Sha, Ate Tess and Beth, I really enjoyed our baking 101 hehehe :))))

Dahil maganda ang panahon ngayon usong uso ang bbq party dito, we had one last week and another one today. Talagang sobrang sarap kumilos ngayon unlike pag malamig. My husband is also enjoying his biking sessions with friends.

Ang mahal nga lang ng damit sa biking wahehehe,,, ako naman naku good luck sa akin hindi pa ako natututo magbike wahehehe,,, okies lang din ayaw ko kasing masyadong mabilad sa araw hehehe.

Kayo musta ang summer? naku inggit ako sa mga nasa beach :)))

enjoy!!! mwahugs!!! :))))

We Just Moved :)

Hello Friendships,

How's your week? Ours so far is great, full of positivity (no rooms for negative vibes), stress free, happy vibes lang dapat :), although we are tired of moving our things to this new place,,, yep finally we moved to a (not so much) bigger place. 

Miracles or blessings really come when you least expect them... we were settled to stay in our old place kahit sobrang liit na nya and wala na kami space for our clothes, parang ang messy palagi kasi the kitchen is not that so nice, ang jampacked na nya and I can't organize our things na talaga, sabi namin tiis lang (hehehe) we were waiting for that perfect timing sana to buy our own house, ayaw kasi namin ng utang although we can't afford to buy in cash gusto ko sana yun man lang downpayment e cash namin para hindi mabigat, madali mangutang e mahirap magbayad hehehe,,, then suddenly the owner of our house asked us if we want to see his another house, ayun rent pa din kami ha not until makapagbudget ako for the downpayment of our future home. we liked the house na agad agad hehehe,, negotiate the monthly rent and yun lipat agad, we'll just add a few Kr for our monthly rent. 

Here it is.. our new place.. our simple and cute house,,, this is the smallest sa mga nakita ko sa lugar namin hehehe :)

Since 2 pa lang naman kami, ok na ok na sya. sorry for the picture was just excited to show this to my aunt. 

The Kitchen

Sorry for the mess, i am actually cooking while blogging hehehe,,, niluluto ko yung natira kong minarinate na tocino, most of our kitchen tools are still in the old house. o di ba our kitchen is nicer now... 

This house is semi-furnished, good thing we already have sofa and dining and a dresser, we don't have tv yet (bubudgetan ko pa), we just bought our bed last Monday in Ikea. Im just lucky that my hubby is a very handyman, he assembled the bed frame that same night.

And tsarannnn... 

We may not have an extravagant life, but having a partner who can make life easier is a major major blessing... That same night we went back to our old apartment to get some of our things, e di ba wala naman kaming car so bitbit namin our stuff tapos naiwan pa kami ng bus hehehe, pag naiwan kasi we have to wait for another 30mins, nakaupo kami sa tabi ng bus stop (kasi madumi yung upuan ng bus stop) malamig, pero nagtatawanan kami, sabi namin kami lang talaga dalawa no matter what ang partner ang magkaramay sa lahat kaya we should not stressed ourselves on other things. 

Sa life talaga palaging may turning point, palaging may humble beginnings ilang beses na namin yan naexperience and after some years tatawanan nyo na lang yung experience nyo, like kami when we decided to get married na singsing lang ang afford namin, nung mag start kami ng life sa singapore, when he moved here at ako din, at ngayon when we moved again sa bagong bahay with a really basic things, walang sasakyan para maghakot ng gamit namin, we moved with just our 4 hands (although yung bulky items e sinabay namin sa bed), I know these humble experiences are our inspirations and really driving us to attain our goals, yung medyo umangat ng konti sabi ko nga hindi masama ang mangarap, kaya dream on... dream ko mag ka Kitchen Aid na mixer hehehe likey likey ko matutong magbake ngayon kaso mahal wala pa sa priority kaya dream on pa din hihihi!!! 

Hindi pa luto ang niluluto ko hehehe,,, ang hirap magluto ng walang sandok hihihi naiwan pa kasi namin e, buti nadala namin kutsara hehehe. 

Im just happy right now,  so peaceful, well ventilated kaya ang sarap huminga, ang ganda ng environment, I am near sa mga grocery stores and near pa din sa Sentrum,, hope we can finish to move our things th soonest!!! :))) 

Sana din happy kayo wherever you are!!! 

hugs and kisses!!!
