Simple Spaghetti Bolognaise

I had two small cans of Traditional and Mushroom Prego Sauce which I bought months ago. I haven't had time to cook it because I was really busy. Since I had time and some ingredients, I mixed both cans of sauce and make into a huge pot of sauce. Then, I divided the sauce into smaller Tupperware and put it into freezer. I can easily reheat the sauce and then eat with the noodles. Easy right?

The sauce can be freeze for at least a week. So I don't have to waste the sauce away. It's a great way to save time and money of course. Another simple tips from me to save money and time when it comes to cooking.

Ingredients
Prego Spaghetti Sauce (enough to cook) , Spaghetti (you can use Macaroni, Fettucine etc) , Minced Chicken, 1 Sausage, Lots of Diced Onions, Lots of Chopped Garlic, Salt, Pepper and Olive Oil

How?
1. Boil water in a pot and add in some salt. Then, throw in the spaghetti to boil.
2. Meanwhile, heat the pan with some olive oil.
3. Then, add in the chopped garlic and diced onions. Fry a little while or until brown.
4. Next, add in the minced chicken with some salt and pepper.
5. Cook till the ingredients are cooked. Then, add in the Prego Sauce.
6. Mix the sauce together with some water and with the ingredients and let it boil awhile.
7. Then, add in some pepper before you turn off the fire.
8. Take out the spaghetti from the boiling pot and add in some olive oil.
9. Mix the sauce and spaghetti together and serve while hot :)


Drooling already?


Looks good right?

Verdict?
A simple carbo dinner for one person. It's not fattening and it's healthy. A pretty good bargain for girls like me who desperately need to drop some pounds. Besides that, it's money saving too. I still have some sauce in the freezer. I can defroze it and cook it anytime with pasta or even rice :)


All mix and ready to be eaten


I love it with lots of onions !

ABC Soup with Macaroni

I was scratching my head to think what I shall eat for dinner. After much thinking and scratching, I decided to make ABC soup with Macaroni. ABC Soup has all sorts of vitamins and Macaroni is carbohydrate. I would say it's a very balance meal. I did post up the ABC Soup recipe before but with a different sort of vegetables though.

Ingredients
Macaroni, 1 Carrot, 1 Russet Potato, 2 Tomatoes, 1 Onion, 1 Chicken Rib, Water, Salt and Pepper

How?
1. Boil water in a pot. Once water is boiled, throw in the chicken rib.
2. After a while, throw in all the vegetables and boil till it smells real good.
3. Then, throw in the macaroni to boil.
4. Add in salt and pepper to taste.
5. Boil until you are satisfied or until the macaroni is cooked.
6. Served hot because it feels more awesome to drink soup when it's hot :)


ABC Soup; hot and comforting


Easy comfort food to make anytime


Yummylicious :)

Verdict?
Very yummy and comforting on a rainy day. It's healthy and it's not oily because I cut off the fats from the chicken rib. Healthy and simple meal for a student like me and perhaps you..

Instantly Healthy

I have been eating rather a lot of instant noodles. That's because I was really busy. Busy till I am so lazy to cook hence the instant stuffs.

Instant noodles like Mi Sedap and Maggi are freaking unhealthy because they are instant. Like duh! So me being me had to be healthy in a way added in plenty of other stuffs into my instant noodles to make it instantly healthy. I am so creative. Kan kan?

Ingredients
1 Packet of Mi Sedap instant noodle, some Iceberg Lettuce, One Egg, One Sausage, Oil and Soy Sauce


My current favorite, Mi Sedap :)

How?
1. Boil water in a pot. Then, throw in your noodles into it.
2. While waiting for the noodles to cook, prepare the sauce. Just tear off the sauces and pour into a plate.
3. After that, pick up the noodles from the hot boiling water and mix it with the sauce.
4. Pour away the water from the pot. Boil another pot of water for the iceberg lettuce.
5. While doing so, fry an egg and the sausage.
6. Once everything is cooked, arrange nicely together with the noodles.
7. Serve while hot.


Healthy balance of instant and healthy food?


My Telur Mata Kerbau decided to pecah :(


It was really good.

Verdict?
It's easy to make. Anyone also can cook this. Gosh..I am hungry already. Perhaps, this should be my dinner tomorrow. I need to stock up Mi Sedap because I am out of it. Like OMG! I like to eat my noodles with the egg yolk all over it because it somehow tasted more awesome. :)

Grocery Shopping is Fun!

Went grocery shopping with 20 cents last night in Tropicana Mall. I just wanted to get a supply of food for a week because I am so broke. I am basically penniless. It's not fun when you are broke. On the other hand, I am going to be a little healthier by cooking my lunches and dinners for a week at least.

I always enjoy grocery shopping with 20 cents because he will give me some awesome advices on what to cook and buy. Usually I would shop in supermarket because it's so much cheaper. But then, for fresh ingredients, market and pasar malam would be the ideal place to shop. I rarely go pasar malam because 20 cents had to play futsal on Monday nights.

So I spent RM20 for a week of supply. It probably might last me more than that. Some fresh ingredients like iceberg lettuce, cabbage, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes and eggs are ideal food for any students to cook. You can whip out ABC soup anytime with those ingredients or simply make an omelette.

And I bought my instant food supply. Glory to Maggi Mee Curry for the fast and no fuss comfort food. Hahaha..and also Mi Sedap noodles for the dry type. You will be well fed for at least a week plus top. Always find the best and cheapest bargains when it comes to grocery shopping.

One more thing, do NOT buy on impulse. You will waste your food and money. I used to do so and I ended up throwing out a lot of food. It's a bad idea to buy on impulse. Make a list and make sure you buy what is needed to last you for a certain time. Buy items that can last you for some time. For fresh ingredients, cook it within a week or stuff in the fridge to last you for a week. I stuffed my pasta sauce in the freezer to last me for a week. Divide it into small portions in small Tupperware or plastic bags. Just defreeze it and toss it with your pasta. Voila! Easy right?

I learnt a lot while studying here. I make sure I finish my food because it's not fun to waste away the fresh ingredients when you can cook it. Buy and cook according to your appetite. Don't buy too much because it's cheap. That's the WORST impulse shopping habit ever.

The best advice ever for cooking at home...

GET A CAN OPENER!

Like seriously, it comes in real handy when you need to open those cans.

Will be posting up SOME recipes this week since I will be cooking everyday this week. Cooking is fun kan? I should really clean my kitchen this weekend. And also my room. Hahaha..or a second thought, I'll think about it.

One more thing, get an awesome shopping partner. I have my 20 cents to go with :)

I Want My Own Kitchen!

I have been dreaming of owning my own modern kitchen. I can't wait to grow up and start working so I can earn my own money to get my dream home. Nothing big but big enough for myself and my family. Something simple and modern so I don't have to clean so much. I hate cleaning especially washing dishes but I don't seem to have a choice. Damn..

I was browsing through and I found a simple, modern kitchen I want equipped with all the stuffs I want. I dare to dream big and I am gonna make sure I have a damn nice kitchen so I can cook everyday for the rest of my life. Hahaha..I probably will say different things once I am married eh?



I like black hence this modern blackish kitchen. Nice right? Hmm..not much of exaggeration like this but yea.. I want a kitchen counter because I am a damn messy person so I need to organize my stuffs and ingredients when I am cooking.



I found another one. I like the color but not the design. Hahaha.The design is so NOT me. I am picky, like what turf. Wonder what will 20 cents said about my exquisite taste. He thinks I am one. I am not lo.. I eat in hawker stalls too. I eat in mamak too. Though I would prefer somewhere with aircon.



A white one look awesome when it's new but once it's splattered with oil and every other things from the kitchen. It looks yucky. I want a kitchen!! As in a house with a nice kitchen. I can't wait to earn my own cash and buy my own property.

I can't wait to grow old..hahahaha..absurd as it might sound but growing old sounds kinda cool. Growing old with 20 cents perhaps?

Blog Hop Is Fun!

Since I am so busy with studies, I usually eat leftovers or eat outside. Leftovers from 20 cents' family dinner because his family is so huge that they have celebrations every week and it is a MUST to meet for dinners every week. That explains the close knitted family of his. If I am capable next time, I want a BIG family too.

I eat outside because it saves time and trouble. It's not fun when I am meeting DEADLINES and I had to face dramas everyday from unnecessary people in college. I had no choice but to become bossy and dominant so things will get done instead of wasting my precious time away. I rather waste my time at home than in college.

Anyhow, when I am stressed out or bored, I will get happy and hyper reading food blogs because I simply admire good food and good photographs. It takes a lot of good skills to cook and to capture awesome pictures. I can't wait to own my own property so I can have a nice kitchen to cook in. Hopefully cooking for 20 cents too. :)

These are the blogs that I usually hop to if you are interested..

They are really awesome cooks and perhaps I would be one of them myself one fine day..

When Will I Be Consistent?

I have been really busy with studies and church. Any extra time is dedicated to my beauty sleep. I have been eating out a lot too. Because I simply have no time to cook. If I cook, this means instant noodles. Sigh..

I miss cooking so much. I should really find time to cook. And Vitagen is out of stock for the moment. Emo. The factory was on fire last month so yea.. no Vitagens for me. Sadness..

Maybe I will cook something simple for everyone to view..Maybe..Maybe I should work the thoughts in my head instead of talk the thoughts. Kan?

Have a nice day, everyone :)
