Yummy Sunday: Homemade potato soup

After my LH's  Aunt shared the recipe of this  homemade potato soup to me I already cooked it twice. Hubby likes it and so do I. It is a very simple dish with nothing so fancy about it. Aside from how easy to cook this dish it is also very nutritious. The first time I cook the dish I put a lot of potato and hubby commented to me that he likes more carrots and less potatoes so I change a little of the recipe. And anybody is entitled to change the ingredients of the recipe whatever it takes as long as you are happy about it and the people who you would like to share your dish is happy too.

3 potatoes, peeled, diced
2 or 3 carrots, peeled, chopped
1 med rib celery, chopped
onion, sliced (according to your liking to how much you put onion)
butter (2tbsp)
evaporated milk (according to how much you want to put)
salt
garlic powder to taste
dash of pepper
~~ Place potatoes, carrots, celery and onion in a 2 quart heavy pan and add water to cover. Bring to boil, then reduce to low heat. Cook until vegetables begin to soften. Stirring occasionally the starch in the potatoes will thicken the soup. Stir in remaining ingredients and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Serve hot!

It is kind of hard...

It's kind of hard to be on a diet when you love to cook. Yup it is hard for me to do that since whatever I like to cook I like to eat hehehehe. But the good thing though is that I knew what ingredients I put into my dish. Nothing is preservative nor junk ingredients I even don't want to put MSG on my dish because I like the best food enhancer better which is garlic, onion, tomatoes and all herbs that you could find depending on what dish are you cooking.
One time hubby and I visited one of his relative it was late in the afternoon and I guess it was dinner time for them. I was so surprised that the kids had  a pizza for dinner??? Hello??? For me that is not a dinner food but just a snack lol!! No wonder many people  get sick and here in US it is getting younger and younger because of how we eat here in America. I do believe that food contribute a lot to our health and if we don't eat good food  we can't obtain a healthy body. Overall, it is better to cook and watch what I eat than don't eat at all but hey it should not be processed food.

Need auto insurance?

Learning how to drive here in US is the first thing that hubby and I was so busy about. I remember the first time I was behind the wheel and it was winter I ended up at the snowbank. I was so frustrated because hubby teaches me so many things sometimes my mind just wanted to explode. I ended up crying and so nervous after the driving practice. Many things came to my mind what if I bump a car? What if I had a car crash? What if I hit a pedestrian? All of this came boggling  in my mind. 

So then after I passed my road test hubby and I looked for an insurance company and found this one Auto Insurance Me they offer so many options. You can contact them and get some qoute. Each one of us has different needs and here in Auto Insurance Me you can choose according to your needs and wants for your auto insurance. So why not check Auto Insurance Me I am sure you will be please of there offer because I am.

Isn't it creepy and gross but when we tasted the chocolate cake it does taste so yummy.

This morning I woke up around 7:30 am then  I checked immediately my blog since I haven't updated any since Sunday. I happened to see UTAH MOMMYs message and she is inviting me to join her contest. It is about two winter scarves and jeez aren't they so pretty. It is more prettier because she made it by herself!! What a talent huh!! Wish I could make like that but I can't so I decided to join the contest and fingers cross I might win hehehe!!

Fish

 Ang alam ko lang pag ikaw ay pinoy talagang hinde pwedeng hinde ka makakain nang isda or any seafood kahit man lang one time sa isang lingo pag andito ka sa abroad or kung nasa bansa ka man na wala masyadong isda hanggang sa panaginip na lang tayo. At pag makakita man tayo nang isda sa isang grocery store parang ang pinoy nakakita nang ginto lol! Well that is what I knew basi sa mga nakilala ko.

Anyway, two nights ago we drove my SIL and her husband to the airport they are heading to Texas for my SIL's son who is going to be a pastor of their church. As we are going home from the airport I remember that the Oriental store that we went to the other time (when I bought my fishes) was not too far away from  the said place. So I suggested to hubby if we can just drop by and bought fish for me. Hubby doesn't have any qualms at all pag wish ko na lalo na isda since he knew that I love fish to the max. It was my 2nd time that we went to that store and my face lit up when I saw the different variety of fish. Well, the price is not as cheap if we converted it in peso but hubby said to grab as much as I want since the said place is a little bit far from my place. I got mackerel, sardines and little tuna which we called it backed in Pinas "pirit". I also grab one big piece of pork belly and some pancit and grated cassava. When we left the store hubby saw me with a big grin of my face and he teased me then. Well the night ended up with lots of fish in our freezer now this will last until next month I guess crossing my fingers!!
