Made With Love 8: Tofu Sandwich (One Of My Favorites)


Do you like Tofu? Because I really like tofu; Silken tofu or Firm tofu... any kind of tofu... I LIKE THEM. Why? because they are high in protein and low in calories.

I saw a lot of Tofu Sandwich recipe in the net but they always use barbeque sauce or oyster sauce... since I wanted to make my own version... ASIAN STYLE, I decided to make my own sauce.

SAUCE:

2 Tbsp Mirin
1 Tbsp. Soy Sauce
1/2 Tsp. White Refined Sugar

I mixed them in a sauce pan until they become a little creamy. That's what I pour onto the top of my tofu. The remaining sweet sauce went in my sandwich.

It's very easy, right? Try it!

This is a very short post. Have a great day everyone! Stay healthy!

Sincerely,
Erica/Erix

Made With Love 7: Labor's Day // Breakfast (Spinach Bellpepper Eggroll, Toasts and Veggies)


Good Morning! Today is May 1 and it's a HOLIDAY!!!!! Yehey!

However, I woke up this morning feeling BLUE because I'm starting to realize something. Somebody made a fool out of me and lied to me and I can't accept it until now. But, what's the point of focusing with this negative person? This person will only ruin my day and my life so I decided not to think about what happened to me. Besides, there are a lot of things that I am so thankful and grateful for.

Recently, I've been cooking and posting a lot of pictures of the food I cooked in my Instagram account. I was able to talked to people around the world about foods and I was inspired by how they prepare and present their food. So,I switched on my artistic ability and presented my food in a good way too. I am not used to this food presentation yet and I didn't study about this craft... so pardon my presentation. Judge them kindly please? haha!

Today's breakfast is low in calories yet high in Vitamin A and C. I ate this right after drinking my Warm Lemon Water Detox.


I cooked eggrolls with spinach and bell peppers since I still have a lot of stocks in our fridge and I didn't want to waste foods. I Sautéed bell peppers and white onion with a pinch of salt and pepper for my side dish.


I used "Pandesal" which is a Filipino Bread. I toasted them before I placed the strawberries on top and sprinkled it with milk powder. Since, I still have a lot of my homemade Basil Pesto, I used it for my other toast.

Voila! I had a yummy breakfast.

Have a great day everyone!

Sincerely,
Erica/Erix

Things that made me happy:
  1. Cooking and preparing this breakfast. The smell of newly toasted bread was so delicious! And I LOVE strawberries so much! :)
  2. Cooking with my parents. Each one of us cooked our own food for lunch. I made Eggplant sandwich which I will share on my next post.
  3. Playing with our new pet Sebastian. Playing with him eases all my tension.
  4. Writing this blog
Things that made me sad:
  1. The person who lied to me. This person made a fool out of me.
  2. Being ignored all of a sudden.
