I was kind of craving for shawarma minus the meat (what?) so I tried using chicken instead.

Browsing through the interwebs, I stumbled across a recipe with simple and healthy ingredients so I decided to try it out for myself. 

Inspired by Jollibee's garlic pepper beef. I was craving for that one morning but I didn't want to eat fast food so I made my own healthier version. 

This recipe is a no-brainer, the title even says it all. I woke up late that's why I opted to do this quick and easy recipe. haha

You might be wondering why I named this one like that. well it kind of resembles pag-ibig: sweet, sour, and bitter, or so my office batch mates told me. hahaha they came up with that name, honestly, since they would always ask what I cooked for lunch. I told them its sweet and sour fish but with ampalaya's bitterness. thus, the name came to be. :)

I intended for this to be my breakfast, but my ever sweet grandma cooked for me that morning so I took this as my lunch. The apple was from my office mate, she gave us a bunch of apples from where she went. Since I had braces and couldn't eat it at once, I took it home. 

The time when it was so cold that I wanted to eat soup for lunch. good thing my grandmother had a mason jar, I borrowed it as my lunch box and enjoyed a warm and tasty soup for lunch. 

I usually buy vegetables every time I go to the grocery so thought of trying something new for lunch. I research recipes online then do my take on them. :) paired it up with pesto garlic rice since I had leftover pesto powder.

One of the experiment I came up with the ever-dependable tofu. tofu is really a good buy especially when you're a bit conscious on your meat consumption, it passes as the meat for any dish you'd want to try. (well, in my case, usually.) I also played around with one of my grocery staples; Clara Ole's dressings. the taste turned out generally good, and although it has a peanut taste (fact: im not a fan of them) my taste buds were okay with it.

Shakshuka is an Israeli dish of eggs cooked over in a sauce of tomatoes, peppers, and onions, often spiced with cumin and paprika. I came across this recipe online when I was craving for falafel, and seeing that it only has a few ingredients, I decided to try it for breakfast. we ate this baby with dinner rolls and it was really good, the aroma is pretty appetizing too, although i made it a bit too spicy by putting too much paprika. haha would definitely try this recipe again.

and here's another one of my pasta dishes. It's an alternative for the spaghetti, actually. I bought those solo party pack of spaghetti noodles from Del Monte and it lasted me a good 3 servings. I've tried a different variety of this as well in terms of the ingredients but one thing they have in common is A LOT of cheese. 

This is my go-to recipe for days when I feel lazy to cook something else. and when I don't have anything left in the fridge but potatoes.
