Lazy Cook Series: Omurice

It's been a loooong time since I had a Lazy Cook post. That just shows how much cooking I actually do at home! Anyway, this is another episode from "Cooking with Dog". It's a really yummy dish and its so simple to do. The dog is so obedient! I would think he would get hungry just watching the lady cook! haha No wonder he whines...poor doggy!



Here is my attempt at this dish....ok I am hiding something- this was the second attempt haha, the first was a a sloppy omelette but I got the hang of it in the end. I think I made a total of 10 of these over the weekend and that's what we ate for breakfast lunch and dinner! I made too much rice filling and we went through a carton of eggs which is a lot of eggs for two people! Anyway, I like to use Ketchup instead of tomato sauce- I think there is a difference but some people say they taste the same??



And...sorry I really hate to take pics of myself everyday but I got no models to try it on! So I apologise that you have to see my face day in and day out! I asked my fiance if I could do something on him but he flatly refuses...obviously! Anyway, I was trying a berry lips look with strong eyebrows and clean eye makeup. It's not really one of my favourite looks since I think it makes me look older! But here it is anyways...

Lazy Cook Series: Cooking With Dog



Since I am down with the flu, I haven't been doing much cooking lately. So to add something to my "Lazy Cook Series" I am going to share with you one of my favourite youtube cook- Cooking with Dog! It's a bit weird....ok its very weird- but it has some great recipes. Just ignore the dog whining in the background! I think its hungry:)

My favourite one is this recipe- the omelette and also there is a strawberry dessert that I tried out and it's delicious!

Lazy Cook Series: Penne Arrabiata


I decided to add something non-beauty related in here- the Lazy Cooks Series! One of my friends is learning how to cook so I thought this might be helpful! It's for you Gin! ehhe Here is one recipe that tastes delicious and it's so easy to cook: Penne Arrabiata (my version)


Ingredients:
  • 1 packet of Penne pasta (500g)
  • 2 tblspn chopped garlic
  • diced onions (I used half an onion)
  • chopped chillies x 1
  • 1/2 capsicum, chopped
  • sliced pepperoni
  • 200g tomato paste
  • 250 canned chopped tomatoes
  • Basil ( I got mine in puree form)
  • hot chilli powder
  • parsley to garnish

Step 1: Boil a pot of water to cook penne pasta. Approx. 3 cups of water. Add salt for taste. Cook till al dente (soft but not soggy!) and drain the water. Set aside while you cook the sauce.

Step 2: In a frying pan, add oil, garlic, basil, onions, chillies and capsicum (in that order) and fry for one minute and then add the pepperoni. Fry for another 5 mins on medium heat.

Step 3: Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste and hot chilli powder and fry for another 1 minute to heat up the sauce.

Step 4: Pour sauce on pasta and sprinkle with parsley and eat while its hot!
