brussel sprouts + stuffed chicken + chicken balls + steamed veggies

Currently Digging: crackers and garlic-hummusI just have to brag about this. So let me. I can't really remember how I did all this. It was last year's meal.
THERES NO RECIPE... coz i can't follow them. I suck at it!! There's directions to guide me though...

I'd rather experiment on something and fix it if it's not good, rather than following a recipe! I JUST CANT DO IT! what's wrong with me?

Anyways.. too much blah!

It's my first time messing with brussel sprouts! I don't think we have that in Pinas. Do we? Maybe we do but it's probably expensive eh? Well brussel sprouts, taste and look like small cabbages. Do people eat it raw too? I don't know. but since it's my first time to cook it, i thought I'll try the best way to enjoy veggies------ roasting it (on our nu wave oven pro...)
Y? it gives just enough camelization, a little crunch and still taste the veggie by itself.

I also tried making chicken balls using the oven instead of frying it. it turned out juicy and nice!! I remember I seasoned it with poultry seasoning, chili powder, ketchup, garlic and onion powder, salt and pepper. But can't remember oven temp and how long i cooked it! tsk.....
Then, I also made that swisscheese-ham stuffed chicken ala cordonbleu? Maybe. It's just a seasoned pounded chicken breast (cutlet). stuffed with fat free swiss cheese slices, deli ham. Roll up. Pin with toothpicks. BAKED then BROILED to brown.


Check out my plate! It's healthy and delicious!
We serve it with more veggies: boiled napa cabbage and green beans with oystersauce.
TOP with my favorite: fried garlic slivers!
whattameal!


But the best is still to come the next day! The leftovers are just perfect for my lunch at work... balance diet.. healthy delicious... portion controlled! LOVE IT!

the question is: can i do this again???

sidetrack: LUCKY by jason mraz and colbie calliat

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!

(Jason)
Do you hear me,
I’m talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I’m trying

(Colbie)
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

(Both)
I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh, ooooh, oooh, oooh,
Oooh ooh ooh ooh

(Both)
They don’t know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I’ll wait for you I promise you, I will

(Both)
I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we’re in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

(Jason)
And so I’m sailing through the sea
To an island where we’ll meet
You’ll hear the music fill the air
I’ll put a flower in your hair

(Colbie)
Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you’re all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

(Both)
I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I’m lucky we’re in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Ooohh, ooooh, oooh, oooh,

breakfast bake for houieversary

Currently Digging: slice of bake plus lettuce bowl

Breakfast bake. Quiche. Frittata. Whatever this is. Breakfast pile up? Breakfast cake? I don't know. Just all of a sudden at 3am, i woke up hungry.... craving for eggs and comfort food... something filling, and loaded... why not try a breakfast bake i've been imagining...

Just a layer of bread, cheese, tomatoes, mushrooms, ham, swiss melting cheese, green onions, ham and hashbrowns, top with a little more cheese... baked to goodness.

served in lettuce bowl with beans in sardines sauce.

this is the first time i've tried this...and i must admit it tasted pretty good... still healthy though.

I used 2 real eggs and the rest are egg substitute. used 2 oz of 2% colby jack cheese (would love it better if it is pepper jack). used tomatoes, mushrooms and deli ham. no cream. no full fat cheeses. hashbrown for crusting + few drizzle olive oil.

Happy houieversary... 6 years...

Just like last year.... i cooked on our special day... this time it's loaded, smothered but still a little bit healthy. The entire loaf would probably serve 6. But i'm already craving for another slice!!!!

Still watching my diet and working out.. but not losing any more weight....

sidetrack: 6th year...

Currently Digging: eddy's coffee ice cream

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

HAPPY 6th year HOUIEVERSARY!!!
