How to Cook Filipino Style Spaghetti / Macaroni

It has been said over and over again that Fiesta Ham is the "queen" of noche buena. I beg to differ because I think the queen of Christmas dinner or any other holiday for that matter is the ever famous SPAGHETTI. I am speaking in behalf of Filipino families who would rather have spaghetti on their plate than ham.

Anyway, since this is not a debate whether ham is better than spaghetti, I ought to share with you guys my recipe for Filipino Style Spaghetti. The recent holidays gave me the opportunity to master this recipe because my brother who used to be the cook of the family got married and moved out of our place so I took charge of the kitchen this year (and I'm definitely most proud of it.)

So. for your ingredients you need:

Garlic
Onion
Ham
Hotdog
Mushrooms
Ground beef
Spaghetti sauce
Pepper Seasoning Granules
Pasta

STEPS:

Heat pan with small amount of oil. Put on your garlic and onion. Then, sauté ham, hotdog, and mushroom. Set aside.
Next, sauté beef for 20-30 minutes until well done. Set aside as well.
Now in a larger pan, mix sautéed ground beef and spaghetti sauce and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
Stir from time to time so that the sauce will not stick into the pan.
Now add the sautéed ham, hotdog and mushroom. Simmer for another 10-15 minutes with constant stirring.
Adjust to your desired taste by adding a pinch of pepper and seasoning granules.
Serve with smile!

So, that's it. Hope this helps a lot. This is my very first recipe article and hope I can do more soon.
Happy New Year Guys! Happy Eating!!!

AT LEAST I CAN STILL SEE: Living Life through Amblyopia

All my life, people thought I am just banlag (squint) or someone who has a scar on her right eye. What some people do not know exactly is that I am almost blind. After thousands of eye tests to different ophthalmologists and optometrists, mine is a rare condition called Amblyopia (also known as lazy eye) coupled with color-blindness. Let us first start with my right eye. If you will look closely into my cornea, it has this white scar that originated by birth. If I will only use my right eye and let my left eye be closed, I will see everything in blur. Because of an inborn scar, there is a small white cast blocking my right eye, I cannot see the details of an image. I only see a vision, a blur, a shape. For example, if there is a calendar in front of me, looking only through my right eye, I would only see a white rectangle with dots and some lines. Imagine watching TV with white sheer cloth in front of your eyes-- that's the perspective of my right eye. God must have pi...

Treats for My Skin Courtesy of Gluta

This is a long and overdue post about the free facial and diamond peel given by the lovely people of Gluta. I am not the one to get facials because I am not comfortable getting under someone else's hands. (This is the reason why I keep on coming back to the same hairstylist). But this is free so might as well try it. (Who doesn't want free stuff anyway?) The event happened last month at Gluta booth, Robinsons Manila. This is part of the launch of their Gluta White and Firm line, which according to the lady, the first product line that was able to produce all whitening products in just one launch (facial wash, lotion, soap, moisturizer, etc.) Gluta Advance White and Firm Products Now back to the facial, they first remove my makeup with a cleanser, then they further cleaned my whole face with another cleanser. Then, they also used a vacuum to further remove deep-seated dirt from my face. That vacuum felt like some kid was giving me little kisses. It did not hur...

Revlon Color Lustrous Lip Gloss in Gold Frost

Ever since I started working, I have been wearing lipsticks all the time and neglecting the joys a lipgloss can do. I don't know if it's the age or maybe I have worn a lot of gloss when I was on my teens that I feel lipstick is for my twenties. But, when I saw Revlon Color Lustrous lipgloss, I cant help but fall in love once again with lip glosses. Why do I love this gloss? Let me count the ways.. 1. The shade is a beautiful golden nude that has a bit of shimmer, not glitters, that creates a lovely shine to the lips. 2. It glides on smoothly and is not sticky to wear. 3. Opacity is just right, not too opaque, not too sheer. I got this on sale so the price is way lower than usual, I got this for only P200 (such a steal right?)\The sales assistant told me that Revlon booths placed in the middle of the malls have more sale items compared to counters located inside the department stores. So, if you are looki...

NOTD: Bride and Bridesmaids

This post will be photo heavy so beware. Anyways, been wanting to try out some nail stickers but I am not really sure why I haven't had the chance to actually buy and put them on my nails. However, a visit to a craft store led me to find these cute flowers so I thought of giving these stickers a try. I like them actually. What do you think? These nails remind me of my brother's wedding which I actually attended as the maid of honor... I am the girl next to the bride... and as the wedding singer as well... Me and my Marvellous Man So, here's my nails again for your viewing pleasure. That's all for now. I promise to tell you more next time. Bye!

Curly Find: Dove Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse

Living in a country where straight hair rules, finding a good styling product for the curly hair is such a pain in the ey-ess-ess. For the past few months, I've been experimenting on different hair products, mixing and jumbling all sorts of creams, mousse, gels, etc etc. Product after product, layers after layers. I honestly sometimes feel like going back to straight hair is way easier and economical, than spending so much money on hair products, but then I do love my current buhahag hairstyle- I feel some sense of uniqueness and personality with this kind of hair- so I think I wold just go on with this journey and just enjoy every part of it. So, today, I thought I would share my experience with this Dove Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse. This is by far, my favorite mousse cream for my curly hair. Let me tell you some of my opinions regarding this product. 1. SMELL - Oh. Goodness. I love the smell of this one right out of the can. This is...
