EASY COOKING

Most of the time likes any working mom; house mom is always on the go. This is a typical day for me; it’s my regular visit in our condo in Greenhills where my two kids are staying/living on their own (Isabella, 4th year high school OB MONTESSORI and Benjo, 1st year h.s. La Salle Greenhills). The kitchen here is very small so I have to maximize everything and do some EASY COOKING.

For easy cooking, it means few ingredients, and a little time to cook for a complete meal.

Beef with buttered vegetable and mash potato

I marinated the beef for one hour with calamansi juice, oyster sauce and seasoned it with salt and cayenne pepper*. Tossed the vegetable for a few minutes in hot oil with butter, set aside then fry bottom mushroom in can, next is the beef tenderloin. For the sauce of the beef, I always have available A1 steak sauce if there is a limited time to cook for a sauce.

*CAYENNE PEPPER

Cayenne pepper powder comes from red hot chilli peppers that are not only good to eat but are great for your health. Where does cayenne come from? The fruit or body of the peppers are dried then ground down, pulped and baked into cakes, which are then sifted to make the spice known as cayenne pepper. In case you may be slightly confused, red hot chilli peppers are sometimes referred to as "cayenne peppers" as well.
