First try making Oreo truffles

7 05 2009

Celine’s the one who’s used to making different kinds of truffles, but I thought I’d do my own version since I like creating bite-sized food. This one has crushed Oreos inside mixed with cream cheese. They were dipped in dark chocolate and drizzled with white chocolate on top (sloppily, I should say). After eating some, one of our housemates said she’d died and gone to heaven. LOL. Can’t get a better compliment than that. Enjoy the pics!

Easy Vegetarian Side Dish Recipes

21 12 2007

For those who want to eat a little healthier. ;)

Garlic Mushrooms

Ingredients: (Cost: < P50)
1 can button mushrooms (champignons), chopped
1 tsp garlic, chopped
1/4 cup butter or margarine
pinch of salt
pinch of pepper

Saute (gisa) garlic in butter. Wait until slightly golden brown. Add mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve while hot.

Corn and Carrots

Ingredients: (Cost: < P60)
1 can plain corn kernels
1/4 kilo carrots (or 2 pcs small), cubed 1/4″
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup water
pinch of salt
pinch of pepper

The carrots must be chopped until they are about the same size as the corn kernels. Saute corn in butter. Add carrots. Mix. Add water to soften the veggies. Let it boil until the water almost completely evaporates. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve while hot.

Personally, I just use Dari Creme margarine instead of butter because its cheap, has no cholesterol, and I don’t need to add salt. Anyway, try these out for yourselves. :)





veggie food trip: a birthday experiment

7 10 2007

It’s a little late posting this, but I’d really like to share it with you guys. Celine and I dined in on her birthday last September 25. We cooked rigatoni and pizza for dinner. Half the pizza had mozzarella, parmesan and fresh basil. The other half had additional button mushrooms, green bell peppers, onions, and small eggplant slices. It’s cool that her mom used to do catering, because they have a HUGE oven that can easily fit four people inside. Look at our luscious creations. ;)
