A Fine Madness!

Hi Loves! I'm here again for another round of cooking with Cassie. Today I prepared Giniling Guisado (Sauted Ground Pork). Giniling means ground and Guisado means to saute in English. The dish is very simple it consist of ground pork, garlic, onions,  potatoes, carrots, and pineapple chunks. I love making this dish because first it's very easy to make and more importantly it's budget friendly. If there's any left over there is nothing to worry because you can also used it as stuffing on tortang talong (fried eggplant w/ egg) or just put some beaten eggs on the left over and voila you have your own ground pork omelette, No food waste!  P.S. I prefer to buy whole pork then ask the butcher to grind it for me. From there I know that I only use pure ground pork.  Ingredients: 1/2 kl. ground pork  2 pcs.  potatoes cut into cubes 1 pc. carrot cut into cubes 1 medium onion chopped 4-5 cloves of garlic chopped cooking oil 1/2 cup of water 3 tbsp of soy sauce (yo

Hi Loves! Welcome back to my blog! I have yet another song review for you loves and this is the song called "Who Say's" by the lovely Selena Gomez which was released in March 2011. I have been in love with this song for years and it is still on my phone's playlist up to now. The songs message plus it's cool tune who would resist? I am a person who loves music. I nearly appreciate every genre, well depends on my mood too. But one thing that influence me in loving a song is the lyrics, the message the song wanted to impart to the  person who listens to it. And this one is an example. As discussed on my previous blog. I have been an insecure person. Afraid that people might not like me. Blending in was very difficult. Insecurities are all over. In this generation physical beauty is given a priority by so many. Cosmetics surgeries and enhancements, fashion trends to name a few are very rampant. I'm not saying that these are bad. Everything are entitl

Hi Loves! I have been thinking of writing a review about song lyrics lately but since there's a lot out there I can't seem to  choose a song that I can relate to somehow. Till one day this week my very adorable niece Sam was busy playing the movie "Trolls" she has on her tablet. Which  interest me not mainly because of the movie itself but because of this one particular song that the main characters sang in one part of the movie. And that song is "True Colors". Okay so the song was originally sang by Cindy Lauper but got a revival through Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick. So going back, I myself think that this song was wonderfully written and is about someone being afraid to show what they're really are because they feel that someone will judge and criticize them about it. But there will still be that one person that will love you unconditionally  and accept you from whatever your flaws and imperfections. I myself have been into a situat

Chicken Tinola ALA Cassie Hi Loves! So today is Saturday here and since it's a weekend it means no office work for me Yehey!! So I got all the time to sleep and just rest and be Lazy. But most importantly I got to do the things I love to do and one of that is to cook! My sister and her husband went to the market earlier today and bought some chicken and ask me to cook Chicken Tinola. Mainly because our little baby guy Lucas love it.  I myself love chicken cooked with broth because to be honest I'm a soup girl. To give you a brief background of what Tinola is it's actually a soup-based dish served as a appetizer or a main entree here in the Philippines. It's traditionally cooked in onions, ginger, garlic, sayote or papaya wedges and leaves of siling labuyo or chilli pepper or for some they used the malungay leaves (moringa). There's no exact history to where this dish has originated but the dish was mentioned in our National heroes book called Noli Me Tangere
