This will be a place for me to keep a record of my recipes from now onwards. It used to be called My Little Diary and True Love Stories but I've decided not to reveal so much of myself, not to talk so much of others, but just to talk about food, recipes, and my little darlings once awhile. I hope you enjoy reading my blog. Feel free to send me a message.

Mexican Salsa Chicken
This is one of our favourite meal, from the Happy Heart Recipes, it's simple yet delicious. Healthy, and taste good too.
Ingredients;
4 chicken breasts
1/3 cup bread crumbs
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp cumin
2 tsp melted margarine
1/4 cup mild tomato salsa or 1/2 cup low fat spaghetti sauce
3/4 cup mozzarella cheese
1. Preheat oven to 350 F
2. Dip chicken in water, place crumbs and seasoning in plastic bag, add chicken, shake bag to coat well.
3. Place chicken on greased cookie sheet. Drizzle with melted margarine. Bake in oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven. Place 1 tbs salsa on each chicken/ 2 tbs spaghetti sauce. Sprinkle with grated cheese. Bake for another 5-7 minutes more until cheese melts, serve.
For my lazy method, I did not measure everything. I used 4 chicken breasts, sprinkle bread crumbs and seasoning on top, bake for 30 minutes, get it out, put the salsa and grated cheese, without measuring, just put enough on top of each pieces. It worked for me. I am just lazy, doing all the short cuts. You can even make your own salsa.
For my salsa recipe, I cut up cherry tomatoes (or any other tomatoes) add 1 chopped jalapeno pepper, a little bit of garlic and onion, some lime juice, cilantro(chopped) and salt and pepper to taste, as simple as that. Just need to let it sit for an hour or so to let the flavour develop.

Nasi Lemak
Chicken was on special so I bought too many, 4 whole chicken! It was only $2.97 each chicken, can't blame me for buying so many. I haven't made this nasi lemak for awhile, so I thought I should make it again since I've have all the ingredients that I need...well most of it, that I can find here anyway. Here's a nasi lemak recipe from Kuali.com if you want to make it the right way, or if you want the lazy way, as I did, I just added coconut milk to my rice when I cooked them in my rice cooker. It's almost the same taste.
For the curry chicken, I used the A1 Curry Paste that my parents sent me. They made it so convenient now, that you just need to add chicken, water and coconut milk! It taste really good. If you want to make curry chicken from scratch, here's a link from Kuali's website.
Nasi means rice in Malay, and lemak is fat, I guess the coconut is fattening. We usually have nasi lemak with some spicy condiments (such as curry, or sambal) fried anchovies, fried peanuts, hard-boiled egg and cucumber. Did not have any cucumber so I substitute it with some other green vege. I had cravings for this meal before when I first came here, they charged about $15-20 in a Malaysian restaurant here, but now I can make my own, for $20 I can make a meal for the whole family!
