Oh so Yummy Mango

Oh my goodness, this mango is so good. I bought this mango for $1.99 and since it was expensive, I bought one. The price could go down to .99 cents so; I will be back in few days for sure. After I ate the last slice, I wanted to eat more huhuhu.

This mango is truly delicious. I used the soy sauce with a bit of sugar and vinegar dip, added a kick of chili in it too. This is my favorite snacks back home. On summer time, mangoes are so affordable. How about you? Do you like mangoes?

Strawberry Smoothie is a Refreshing Drink

I am always on the look out for something that can make my food/ kitchen preparation a no mess and easy activity. The first time that I saw the Magic Bullet was on a TV commercial and I thought, it might be a good idea to buy one. I waited until I saw a good deal at Kohl's and I basically bought my Magic Bullet for only $39 using the sale price plus $10 off. I have this product for more than a year now and so far, this is my best buddy in the kitchen (wink).

Fruits are good for snacking but sometimes, I need something different so; with a little bit of sugar, ice cube, milk and 5 pieces of strawberry, I got a fresh smoothie. Oh come on, you know how to make this one even without the Magic Bullet. You can use your blender too.

This is delightfully refreshing especially on a scorching day. Let's drink!

Valentines Day: Strawberry Cake

I am a trying hard baker and this is my first successful strawberry cake sprinkled with ground peanuts made especially for Valentines Day :-) yayyy! I did not make this from scratch though. One of my favorite cake mix is Duncan Hines and since I have one box available, that's what I made this for. I have plenty of strawberries so; I made a puree. I added 1 cup of strawberry puree to the cake mix.

It looks like this before the frosting and this cake smells good and ...  delicious ... says hubby :-)

The frosting is from Duncan Hines, the creamy home-style cream cheese and its so good. I cut the strawberry in 4 slices, used the inner slices to decorate the sides of the cake and the other parts to decorate the top of the cake. Try it!

A Glass of Cabernet Sauvignon and Prosciutto Cravings

The other day, I was feeling so sad ... hormone thing you know. When I checked the fridge, all of a sudden I craved for prosciutto, cheese and fruits. I kind' a like my cravings because I don't usually eat cheese for snacks. Oh, I love prosciutto and I can eat a quarter of a pound just snacking on it. If you love prosciutto but hate the price, I suggest you visit BJ's store. Their price is half from your neighborhood grocery store.

We have stocks of good wines in the house. We are not drinkers but, few bottles of red and white wines are not bad for after meals right? 

I felt good after a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon and snacking these delicious foodies. According to my friend this wine  is one of the world's most widely recognized red wine grape varieties in fact, one of his favorites. Well, a glass of wine is enough for me and this can last me a week you kinow (winky-wink). 

Do you like wine? Do you prefer red or white wine? A glass of wine is good for the body you know but, drink moderately. Thanks for stopping by.

Grilled Chicken Caprese at Olive Garden

If you love Italian Food, I suggest that you should check out Olive Garden. I was not so hungry but, I crave for Grilled Chicken Caprese at Olive Garden the other day. I ordered Strawberry-Mango lemonata which is a refreshing strawberry and mango purée. It is mixed with sweet lemonade and sliced strawberries. My grilled chicken caprese is a light meal with mozzarella, sun-dried tomato and basil pesto spread in it. This menu comes with a soup so; I ordered the spicy Zuppa Toscana. It has a spicy sausage, russet potatoes and cavolo greens in a creamy broth. You should try it when you visit Olive Garden.
