Mommy in Chef Wannabe Mode

My friends always tease me for being such a trying hard in the kitchen. But for this afternoon... I was in my wannabe-chef-mode... that I wanted to make one of my favorite snacks.

A lot of you may be familiar with this. But since I just learned thies recipe, (and I am very bored tihis afternoon), I thought of sharing this to fellow kitchen dummies, lol!

Chili Cheese Sticks

Ingredients:

Green Chili (sili espada)
Cheese slices
Springroll/lumpia wrappers
Oil for frying

First, we need to remove the seeds from the inside of the green chilies, by slicing them 'almost' in halves. Depending on how hot you want them... if you are not a fan of hot recipes, take as many of the inside part of the chilies, leaving almost the skin only. In doing this, I would suggest using a spoon, coz it can be irritating to your skin.

You then prepare the cheese slices, and put them in the chilies, as shown in the pictures below.

After that, you can start wrapping them, just like any springroll recipes. Be sure to seal it with a little water, so that melted cheese won't leak out.

Next, heat the oil in the pan. Make sure they're not too hot when you add the rolls, or else, you'll burn them just like I did... lol!


Tadaaaaaaaa!!! The finish product! Okay, I admit...I need to learn more on presentation and garnishing... but hey, I'm still learning...


Enjoy!

Blog Newbie

I love reading blogs...and it’s not until today, that I decided to make one... my own blog site. I surfed the net on how and where to start, just learned recently about the how to's, and I hope I am applying them now.

Okay, so here’s where I begin. I am a single mom, on my 20’s, a registered nurse in 3 countries...soon to be 4, but still afraid of blood (figure that out!). I loooove surfing the net, like I can spend the whole day staring at the screen, I especially like watching Youtube, for "how to's" especially on makeup. I've been following the videos of exteener, kitcat627, and Michelle Phan. I am also a makeup newbie. I think it's great, that mineral makeup became my first love when it comes to cosmetics.

You'll wonder why I chose to call this site as Milk and Makeup. Hmmm... it's because, as a single mom, it's my money dilemma everytime I shop, you see, I have a son...and I have to provide for his needs...alone (got some help from mom too, teehee!!). So, it's always, baby first...then me.

I also love to travel, but I have only been to 5 countries, and are mostly work related. I enjoyed most of them though... Hopefully, I'll be in another country within this year. I am just working on baby's documents, then we're good to go. I wonder how life will be as a single mom in Canada? Hmmm?

What else?...oh! and most importantly, I am a young woman who is willing to sacrifice everything for my son. He is my strength. His smile soothes my pains. Love him soo much.

I am not sure if there's anything that I forgot to mention, but anyhow, I'll be blabbing about so many things soon. Can't wait for my next blog... that I am pounding myself on the head right now, for not doing this earlier.

... Whew!!! nuff with my blog intro, lol!!! If you have some stuff that u wanna share, or want me to post, just lemme know, ayt? wink***

This is all for now. Thanks muchos! See ya around!! Ciao!
