Tuna Salad

It's been oddly really hot the past two days so I've decided to make a cold dish my family loves to eat. Tuna macaroni salad!

The above ingredients are the basic stuff to add to the macaronis: chopped carrots, celery, onions, eggs and tuna! The ratio I usually use is 1:1:0.5 of carrots, celery and onion. I boiled lots of eggs and just add them as I  deem appropriate. (The leftover boiled eggs, I bring to work). And I used 2 cans of tuna. If you are a serious tuna lover, you might want to use 3 cans of tuna. 

In this case, I also added imitation crab meat for a bit of sweetness! Mix. Then add mayo. To each his own. My sister doesn't really like mayo so when she is home, I don't add much. My dad loves mayo! But I try to keep him in good health so I don't add as much as he would prefer, but enough that he still loves the dish and would go back for seconds and thirds.

Tonight, my boyfriend seared and baked top sirloin and we added this to our meal. It was soooooooooo fantastically delicious!!!

A Somewhat British Breakfast

For a somewhat British breakfast, add tomatoes! We didn't grill ours as you can see but baby tomatoes are delicious without being grilled.

For a true British Breakfast, go here.

Steamed Basa Fillets

Place sliced gingers on the bottom of the pan. Place dried fish on top. Steam for about 7-8 minutes or until done. Layer chopped chives on top. And pour sauce on top.

To make sauce, mix 1:1:1 ratio of water, soy sauce and bonito flavoured soup base. And add 2-3 tbs of sesame oil. Boil.

And here's the final result! It was delicious! 

Snack Attack!!!

Today, we didn't have a solid meal. We just filled our tummies with yummy yummy delicious munchies! See below:

Here you've got toasted cheesebread (crust removed) and olive oil dipping sauce with kosher salt and pepper.

More of these yummy delicious buffalo wings with a bit of ranch. Yumster!

The best thing on earth to eat is smoked salmon. I've been craving smoked salmon and simply cannot get enough. No, I've no idea how to smoke my own salmon, but, one day..... They're super delicious with cream cheese and crackers. Nom nom nom

Then, we went to Ice Kiss for a colourful shaved ice dessert with red beans and fruits and ice cream and whipped cream and lots of other goodness. 

A great end to a wonderfully tasty day!

Beer Batter Cheese Bread

This was an amazing appetizer! When I came home from work and found these babies, I chowed down on three thick slices. By the time dinner rolled around, I wasn't too hungry... It was soooooooo yummy!!

Boyfriend tried this new recipe where the bread batter was mixed with beer (we used dos equis) in place of yeast. It was quick and pretty amazing. It was also topped with walnuts. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Chili

My wonderful bf made this chili dish with ground beef, canned button shrooms, and baby corns.

We poured the chili over brown rice and topped with shredded cheese and added a side of broccoli. Om nom nom nom. 

Buffalo Wings

My bf made these deliciousness and I've no idea how. No, these are not store bought and microwaved. All I can say is that we bought frozen raw drumsticks/wings and my bf turned them into these deliciousness. The ones on the left are for people like me who aren't big on spicy and the plate on the right has some spice to it. 

Breaded Basa Fillets

 What you need: basa fillets (or any white fish) rinsed and drained of water. Flour mixed with a bit of fish fry. Egg wash. Bread Crumbs.

Bread Crumbs can be made by toasting 2-3 slices of bread in your toaster, cool it in the fridge and then toast it again. Then place the toasted bread in your food processor. I added a bit of dried parsley and kosher salt and pepper. Taste to make sure it's okay. You can add pretty much whatever you want as long as there's no liquid.

 To make this beauty, first wipe off excess water from fish and dredge through flour. Then dip it in the eggwash. And lastly, dredge through the bread crumbs. Cook it on medium heat for about 7-8 minutes or until done. Fish pieces should flake easily.

This was unbelievably delicious, especially since this was a first time recipe! I'll definitely be making this again!
