Mac and Cheese

Mac and Cheese

I've been craving for mac and cheese for a long time that time so I decided to make one myself since I'm bored and I've got nothing to do. My mom during that time was glaring at me since she doesn't have any idea what is Mac and Cheese is.

When I made them she was instantly delighted and told me it's delicious and grabbed another serving of mac and cheese. My brother and sisters loved it and ate 3 servings. All in all my cravings have been fullfilled, I added some chili garlic sauce just to add some flavor to the regular mac and cheese, I guess that's the reason why my mac and cheese is colored Orange! Haha. Oh I used regular cheddar cheese by the way, since it's cheaper and I'm just trying it! Haha

Chicken Macaroni Waldorf Salad

Chicken Macaroni Waldorf Salad

I accompanied my mom to the grocery that day when they gave free samples of macaroni salads to promote their Mayonnaise. My mom loved this salad above and told me to make it. Following my mom's wants we bought some chicken breast, macaroni, celery, cashew nuts, apples and mayonnaise, of course.

So while I was making this I got this great idea, that instead of cooking the chicken as it is by just rubbing it with salt and pepper, I tweaked it. I marinated the chicken with salt, pepper, dried rosemary and added a little bit of calamansi (filipino counterpart of lime), then fry it in olive oil.

So i just toasted the cashews, chopped the veggies and fruit, cooked the macaroni and tossed it all together. Added the mayonnaise and chicken and voila! Salad is ready!

The funny thing is, I made a big bowl of this salad and it only lasted for about 3-4 days. Does this mean it's good??? Hehe.
