Simple and Easy Eating




This week is all about simple, quick and easy to prepare foods. I choose this kind of dishes is because I can prepare it easily without me being in the kitchen for hours. Hopefully, all things gets well with my kids this weekend so i can clean the house and tidy up some mess. And prepare some cakes as I'm craving for something sweet. The roasted Salmon on a bed of glazed balsamic carrots, beans & new potatoes are beautifully complimented by the delicious balsamic-glazed vegetables,this fish recipe both looks and taste special. Use white fish if you prefer rather than of the salmon. With Balsamic vinegar, it tends to make kids not to like it cause of its strong taste. With the other dish - TOFU, I have to cook it before it expire. With the stir-fried tofu; I don't have exact measurement, as most of the dishes i cook is just base on what I have in my pantry and judge by its looks and most of is the taste or with filipino saying its tantya-tantya lang.
