DIY Day: Tuna Carbonara & Korokke

Another DIY Day with us, and we decided to make some Tuna Carbonara and some Korokke for lunch. The Tuna Carbonara is something we did before and we decided to try it out once more. Other than that, Mimi came across another idea on the Internet for us to cook. We made Crunchy Meatballs or Korokke. Its made with ground beef, and bread crumps and is easy to prepare. Your hands get a little dirty, but they're well worth the work.


P.S. These two combine make for a VERY heavy meal.









 
What we did.

 
The Carbonara.



Korokke.

Pinchy Pies

Mimi got this great idea to make Hot Pockets/Pinchy Pies off of the Internet. It's quick and easy to prepare, and it's well worth the wait. You can stuff any type of ingredient you want, but make sure it's bite-sized. You guys have to definitely try it.
We had a blast making these little treats. Be sure to check out the video below on how we did it.

DIY Day: Breakfast Cups

T'was the morning of the Hot Air Balloon Festival and we decided to try out one of the recipes we found on the Internet. Mimi discovered a great way to pack a full meal into a little cup. These are called Breakfast Cups. It's Bread, Butter, Eggs, Cheese and slices of Spam packed together in a cupcake container. They're great on the go and is easy to prepare. All you need is an oven. 

Slices of bread.

Butter.

Spam.

Cheese!

The final product.

Recipe:

1. Cut the crust off bread
2. Roll out bread as thin as possible with rolling pin.
3. Press flattened bread into well greased muffin tins. Brush bread cups with a bit of melted butter.
4. Bake bread cups at 375F for 5-7 minutes or until light golden brown.
5. Curl a piece of thin deli ham(we used SPAM cause we didn't have anything else) into the cup and add thin slices of cheese along the sides of the bread cups.
6.  Break an egg into each cup (1 egg wasn't enough so we used 2)
7. Bake egg cups at 375F for 14-18 minutes until egg whites are barely set and still appear moist.
8. Remove from oven and immediately tightly cover with tin foil and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

*We only used two eggs. The reason to why there are 4 egg yolks there is because the eggs Gab had at home has 2 egg yolks per egg.

DIY Day: Chocolate Mousse

It's another DIY Day, and we decide to make some Chocolate Mousse. Mimi has been watching a couple of videos on how to make Chocolate Mousse, and she thought we should try making some. It's a simple dessert to make, requiring little effort and few ingredients. Here's how we did it.

Oreos for the crust.

Gab used his Wooden Tongfas and his fists to crush the Oreos. Haha.

The outcome.

Some butter.

Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips (You can use whatever chocolate you want though)

Coffee (Just coffee powder and water)

we put the bowl of chocolates

Letting the chocolate melt.

Egg Yolk.

Mixing it in with the Melted Chocolate.

Whipped Cream. We used All-Purpose Cream and just whipped it.

Gab did most of the whipping :))

The Final product.

Voila! Chocolate Mousse!

     

Another DIY Special: Fried Chicken and Tuna and Mushroom Carbonara.

It's another DIY Dinner with us. This time it's Pasta Night. Gab bought some chicken from Andok's and Mimi cooked up the Tuna and Mushroom Carbonara. And of course, we're showcasing it for you to see.

THE VERDICT

He Says: Again, when Love cooks, she really cooks. The Tuna and Mushroom Carbonara has been our first DIY Dish. We've done it before and we did it again. It's creamy and very good. Very filling. The Fried Chicken from Andok's is cheap, cripsy and good. It's a good place to stop by and grab some Chicken.

Rating: Carbonara = 10/10; Andok's Chicken = 10/10

She Says: He did it again! haha. The Andok's fried chicken was good!

Rating:  Carbonara = 1000000/10; Andoks Chicken = 10/10

What's for dinner?

Whenever we're undecided where to eat and we're around Mimi's place, we decide to stay home and cook our own meals. Mimi cooks and Gab eats. Need we say more? 

It's DIY day with Mimi's Fried Porkchops with Rice and Mashpotato with Cheese Bits.

Dinner is served.

Mash Potato with Cheese Bits.

Fried Porkchops.

With a little egg white and cheese bit.

Mimi's Special Iced Tea with Iced Tea Cubesl

For dessert, some Cake.

THE VERDICT

He Says: Whenever Love cooks, it's always made with care and delight. Hahahahaha. It's really good. I especially like the little Cheese Bits she puts into the dish. Very, very satisfying. The cake, I'm not a big fan, but I ate it anyway. 

Rating: Porkchop Dinner = 10/10; Cake = 7/10

She Says: I can't believe he rated my dinner! :))

DIY Day: Scramble

We were on the prowl for something sweet and cold, so...We decided to make our own Scramble! Haha!

Powdered Milk.

Nips.

Vanilla Flavoring.

Strawberry Syrup.

"Shaved Ice"

Milk!

Voila!

THE VERDICT

He Says: It turned out as a Milkshake. Haha. It was good though. Maybe if we changed the Ice, it would have turned out a little better. It's still pretty good, though.

Rating: 8/10

She Says: I really think we should've just used crushed ice. Shaved ice just melts so fast :)))

Rating: 8/10  

DIY: Wicked Oreos!

We decided to trip out on a favorite dessert at Taft, called the Wicked Oreos. We bought pancake mix, oreos and ice cream to see if we can whip up our own batch.

 So here we go: How to make Wicked Oreos, Everyday Food Bites Style.

The Batter

The Oreos were placed in the freezer before being submerged in the batter

FRY!

It's Puffy! Like the one in Flaming Wings! I love it!

Served Best with Ice Cream!

THE VERDICT

He Says: Wow. Suprising. Good. Love got the mixture and cooked it just right. It's just like the ones we have in Taft. Haha. If you want the recipe, ask Mimi for it. Haha. I just funded the ingredients. Haha. :))
