CHEESE AND GARLIC POTATO This Kenny Rogers-inspired recipe is actually one of my favorites that’s why I decided to try to make it at home and fortunately, it turned out to be like this — at least somewhat close to the real thing.  LOL. Okay so here’s the recipe:  The first step is to boil the potato marbles in water with some salt (cut in halves) until tender.  Drain.  Set aside.  In a different pan, melt some butter, add some cheese spread, some milk, garlic powder, and some pepper.  Simmer just until all the flavors have blended.  Remove from heat then toss it with the potato marbles.  Shazzam, it’s done then sprinkle with some chopped parsley. SOME QUIRKY HINT:  You guys can also use fresh garlic but always remember that fresh garlic has stronger flavor than those in powdered form.  So, try to use it in minimal amount to prevent over empowering the garlicky flavor on it.

CORN SOUP Hello guys! It’s been a while now since my last post because my brain didn’t work well the past few days but don’t worry, I’m now back on track.  Oh yeah!  Okay, this recipe is so perfect for a rainy weather to make you feel warm and I’m gonna tell you my secret recipe.  Okay to start with, boil one or two cobs of sweet corn on water with some salt (just enough to cover your corns) until tender.  Save stock.  After that, remove corn kernels from the cob using your knife and slice potatoes into small cubes.   In a pan, saute onions using butter with some oil until translucent.  Add potatoes and wait until your potatoes are tender.  Then, add your stock and the corn kernels.  Bring to boil then simmer.  Add evaporated milk and season with some salt and pepper.  Simmer again until all the flavors have blended.  Shazzaam it’s done.  Garnish with onion leeks.

PANSIT PUTI Does it look like pale, dull, or bland?  Well, I guess you’re thinking wrong.  It’s a perfect recipe if you’re thinking of another way of cooking pansit bihon.  Say goodbye to the old and traditional recipe with the soy sauce or oyster sauce, instead let’s try and explore your tastebuds with this new recipe.  It’s very easy and very economical.  What you need is chicken soup pack, bihon, chicharon, onion springs, lots of garlic, pepper, and fish sauce.  Okay, the first thing to do is to boil your chicken soup pack until the chicken is tender and all the flavors have come out from the chicken.  Let it cool for a while and reserve the broth then flake the chicken.  Saute garlic until golden brown and add your chicken broth.  Add your fish sauce then let it simmer.  Then, add your pansit bihon and some pepper and wait until it’s cooked.  After all the flavors have blended all together, it’s ready for plating.  Put it on a serving dish, top with chicken flakes, green onion (chopped into smaller pieces), and crashed chicharon.  Serve it with calamansi on the side and it’s done!  Enjoy!

MASHED POTATO I didn’t expect this recipe will be easy as ABC.  I thought, it will need something like an herb to make the KFC-like mashed potato.  Alright, it was my mistake thinking that way.  Anyways, what you need with this recipe is a very good quality of potatoes, look for the starchy one.  Peel your potatoes, wash, slice them in uniform sizes, place them in pot, put some water just enough to cover your potatoes, add some salt, and place them in fire.  Wait until potatoes are tender.  Then, drain and mash your potatoes just right to the texture you’re looking for.  After mashing, place it back in a very low heat, add some butter or margarine, pepper, and some very little seasoning and then mix.  Shaazzaam, it’s done.  Serve it with gravy.
