Cooking time again!

For the past few months I have been enjoying cooking. I don't know why, but it has been satisfying for me mostly this month. I created and recreated food, in my way. I made a few mistakes for my first try, but are keen on making them again soon and make improvements.

Well, here are four of my dishes that came out of my kitchen this month.

My first one is my Creamy Mushroom Chicken, which I am always cooking and recreating once in awhile. This dish comes with chicken chunks, button mushrooms, potatoes and carrots in a creamy mushroom sauce. 

This is a Beef Bolognese with Cherry Tomatoes and Toast. A light bolognese sauce that I wanted to highlight the use of my freshly bought cherry tomatoes. Having a light sauce is something I don't eat so much, but was a great idea when the star of the dish was the sweet cherry tomatoes.

This Filipino staple is Champorado, a chocolate rice dish. My first take on this dish was not that difficult, but I made it too dry. I used glutinous rice, van houten baking chocolate bars, nutella, and white sugar. Usually it is served with evaporated milk, but as the dish was quite filling already it was good as at is own. And to accompany the dish, I had a salted fish.

My first try for a Pasta Negra, a squid ink pasta. Just after buying squid and having linguini in my kitchen, I decided to try out the pasta negra. To prepare the sauce, I sauteed the squid with garlic, onions and mushrooms, and a pinch of salt and pepper. With the natural juices from the squid, I was able to make a black sauce... ohhh so good for my pasta!

Thank you for reading and enjoying my food posts! Hope to see you again!
