My Easter Holiday Recipe

As Easter is just around the corner, I bet it’s not only the kids who are excited about the Easter basket treats they’ll be receiving or the egg-hunting activity that they’d be busy with on Sunday. Moms are equally looking forward to this day as there will be another cooking battle in the kitchen to serve Easter menu delights that the family can feast on all together. So time to dig in to your stashed Holiday Recipes and start listing down the ingredients to shop in the grocery.

As for me, I didn’t have a hard time thinking what to serve for our Easter dinner. It’s the husband who is craving badly for my Special Carbonara which has become a Holiday staple in our family. My two year old son loves it to bits. But since Easter is a celebration of rebirth, I’m thinking of deviating a little from my recipe and add a twist in the recipe. Let me share to your first the “original” recipe of my Special Carbonara:

Ingredients:
1 1/2 Onion – chopped
1 whole Garlic – chopped
Mushroom (1 can, sliced)
Beef cubes (1 box)
Nestle cream (1 can)
Cream of mushroom (1 can, campbell’s)
Evaporada Milk (1 can, alpine)
Cheese (1 box, grated)
Fetuccini/tricolor (spiral) pasta
Bacon or crispy fried Maling or luncheon meat
Butter

Procedure:
1. saute garlic and onion in butter
2. add on the mushroom
3. beef cubes
4. add on the cream of mushroom
5. stir constantly, under low fire
6. add: nestle cream and evaporated milk
7. add the grated cheese with continuous mixing
8. boil the pasta (put butter to prevent pasta from sticking)
9. fry bacon w/o oil (til crunchy)

serving: top on the bacon or you can mix it with the sauce

I’m not sure what the outcome will be like but I think, adding tuna flakes will further enhance the salty and buttery taste of the cream. Aside from being an enhancer, it’ll also make it a more hearty meal because tunas are good source of omega oil which is good for the heart.

I’ll update you how our Easter dinner feast will be like.

A Bookshelf.

Aside from a work station, a project that I will undertake in our future home is a book shelf for the little one. As of now, I don’t have any idea yet how it should be constructed but I think that this one is a good idea:

My son has developed liking to books as early as his baby months. And now that he’s 2, he has collected several books that we’ve don’t have any ample space anymore in the room for their assemblage. They’re everywhere in the room. I’m also allotting enough space for his future books once he starts schooling so perhaps a huge one will do. I don’t think disposal of any of them or to sell textbooks will be a solution because these books will always be a great reference. I love that my little one loves reading and so into books and I hope he grows up to be a book lover as he is now.

My Ideal Workstation.

How I wish I have a work station here in our bedroom similar to this:

I love the book shelves on the wall, the placement of the lamp, the huge space and the neatness of how this was designed. I love every detail as it is including the cabinet on the side. The pedestal would make a great hideout for all of my clutter like bills, auto insurance quote and all other documents.

I’ve been working from home for two years now and I haven’t got any decent work station ever since. When we’re here in my in-laws’, I’ve got nothing but our bed and a low stool where I place my laptop on. So just imagine how bad my posture is every time I work. This isn’t definitely right for someone who has dextroscoliosis and has to work in front of the laptop for more than 8 hours a day. That’s why in our future house, I’ll make it a point to have a mini work station somewhere in the bedroom. I’ll keep this picture as my inspiration and hopefully, I’ll have a similar work station in the near future.
