Food Corner Wednesday #1

Here is the butter cake with chocolate icing that I made for his 2nd birthday. I can't find any icing decorations in Qatar so I opted for some candles just to make a birthday greeting. It turned out not bad at all. The important thing was, they enjoyed candle blowing and the cake so much.

Chicken Sotanghon Soup (Vermicelli soup)

Who does not love sotanghon and who says it is only served on special occasions? Sotanghon is very affordable just like the pancit bihon and canton and can be cook anytime we want and not for special day only.

Leftover Soup

Don't let your left over food turn into a waste.You can do something about it for another delicious meal that your kids are going to like. When I say left over, it means that the food is still safe to eat, been left in the fridge for  not more than 4 days. Make sure to check first if they look or smell unusual or when you are in doubt about the freshness or safety of any food, dispose it.

• left over mashed potato
• left over  shrimp
• left over cooked spaghetti noodles
• salt and pepper to taste
• powedered or cubed chicken bouillon
• water or chicken stock
• parsley for garnishing

Directions:

• Stir well. Let boil  for another 2 minutes.
• Season with salt, pepper and other seasoning  to taste.

Chef Ed's Sushi and Sweets

Last month, I was craving for sushi. Luckily, I found a store near the hospital where my husband had and eye operation selling sushi. While he was in the operating room, I decided to stop by the store to get me some breakfast. The grocery store sells pastries and sushi in one area. I grabbed  a cup of coffee, sushi and cinnamon roll, pay at the cashier, without looking at the items that I picked up, then head back to the hospitals waiting area for a quick breakfast. I excitedly open the plastic bag but to may dismay, no sushi,and  got me a baklava instead.

Nutritious Tessway Sandwich

A sandwich is a quick way to make a meal.for breakfast,  lunch and even dinner. This recipe is inspired by Subway Sandwich that I really like. Since my husband and I like Subway sandwich , we decided to make our own version at home. He called my sandwich "Tessway Sandwich" and made his own with white bread and his choice of fillings.
