The Filipino's Sopas



Guys, I want to share to you a Filipino recipe that you will love for sure!
Creamy Macaroni Chicken Soup or popularly known as Sopas, came from the Hispanic word “sopa”, meaning soup. This is a soup dish that we Filipinos have come to own eventhough macaroni is practically Italian.

Estimated preparation and cooking time: 1 hour and 30 minutes

Ingredients:

500 g chicken breast
4 cloves garlic (minced)
2 white onions (minced)
1 large bell pepper (seeded and sliced into strips)
freshly ground black pepper
2 carrots (sliced into thin strips)
350 g macaroni noodles
2 cups evaporated milk
1 medium cabbage (roughly shredded)
2 Tbsp margarine
fish sauce / patis
rock salt
chopped spring onions

Cooking Instructions

Boil the chicken in 4 cups water. Save the broth to be used later.
Shred the Chicken meat with your fingers. Set aside.
Saute garlic and onion in oil over medium heat.
Add the bell pepper and cook until aromatic.
Stir in the shredded chicken.

Season lightly with ground black pepper.Add the carrots, a quick sauté then the macaroni. Give it a stir to get the fat all around the pasta.Pour in the chicken broth and 5 cups water. Simmer.
Pour in the milk, stirring gently.Add the cabbage. From this point, the macaroni and the cabbage will cook at about the same time.Add the margarine.Season with patis or salt.

Surely the best soup for today's rainy season. . .
Enjoy your meal!

Chocolate Chip Cherry Fruitcake Loaf



Ingredients
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup finely chopped pecans (measure after chopping)
1 cup chopped dates (get the moist kind on a tray and chop by hand) or raisins or sultana
1 cup candied red cherry, halves (also known as glazed fruitcake cherries)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
5-6 extra candied red cherries, halves,to taste,for garnishing the top of the loaf


Directions
1Preheat oven to 325 F and have ready a greased 9x5" loaf pan.

2Beat eggs and sugar in a large bowl until well combined.

3In another large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.

4Add flour mixture to egg mixture and mix well.

5Add nuts, dates or raisins, 1 cup cherry halves,& the chocolate chips and stir gently to combine.

6Pour into a greased 9x5" loaf pan(mixture will be very thick).

7Garnish top with a row of cherry halves down the center of the batter- press gently so they stick.

8Bake in a preheated 325 F oven for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours or until golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean (there will be streaks of melted chocolate but not gobs of beige batter) - DO NOT OVERBAKE or it will be as hard as a rock.

9Let cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove from pan and let cool completely.

10Usually I slice the loaf after it has cooled and seal it in a plastic zip-top bag, which helps keep it from hardening up.

Marmalade-Glazed Orange Cheesecake



You will need:
20 vanilla snaps or wafers (see Ingredient note)
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 1/2 cups low-fat (1%) cottage cheese
12 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese (not nonfat), cut into pieces
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 large egg
2 large egg whites
1 cup nonfat or low-fat plain yogurt
4 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons orange marmalade
2 tablespoons orange liqueur or orange juice
1 seedless orange, scrubbed and thinly sliced
Mint sprigs
Nutrition InfoPer Serving

Cooking Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Put a kettle of water on to boil for the water bath. Wrap the outside of the pan with a double thickness of foil.

To prepare crust: Grind vanilla snaps in a food processor. Add oil and process until the crumbs are moistened. Press crumbs evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.

To prepare filling: Puree cottage cheese in a food processor (use a clean workbowl ) until smooth, scraping down the sides once or twice. Add cream cheese, gran
ulated sugar (or Splenda), brown sugar and cornstarch. Process until very smooth.

Add egg, egg whites, yogurt, orange zest, orange juice and vanilla; process until smooth.

Pour over the crust.

Place the cheesecake in a shallow roasting pan and pour in enough boiling water to come 1/2 inch up the outside of the springform pan. Bake until the edges are set but the center still jiggles when the pan is tapped, 50 to 60 minutes.

Turn off the oven. Spray a knife with cooking spray and run it around the inside edge of the pan. Let the cheesecake stand in the oven, with the door ajar, for 1 hour. Remove the cheesecake from the water bath and remove the foil. Refrigerate, uncovered, until chilled, about 2 hours.

To glaze & garnish cheesecake: Shortly before serving, combine marmalade and orange liqueur (or juice) in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring, until melted and smooth. Place cheesecake on a serving platter and remove pan sides. Brush glaze over the top of the cheesecake. Make a slit in each orange slice, then twist and wrap it into a rosette. Garnish cheesecake with the orange rosettes and mint.

Enjoy your meal!

Inside-Out Cheeseburgers





A delicious snack for your weekend! Come on, try it!

Ingredients:


1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
1 pound 90%-lean ground beef
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper



Here's how:

Preheat grill to medium-high or preheat the broiler.

Combine Cheddar and Gruyere in a small bowl.

Gently mix beef, Worcestershire, paprika and pepper in a large bowl, preferably with your hands, without overworking. Shape into 8 thin, 4-inch-wide patties. Mound 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture on each of 4 patties, leaving a 1/2-inch border.

Cover each with one of the remaining patties. Crimp and seal the edges closed.

To grill: Lightly oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the stuffed patties over medium-high heat, about 4 minutes per side for medium-well. (Be sure not to press the burgers as they cook or they'll split open and the cheese will ooze out.)


To broil: Cover a broiler pan with foil and coat with cooking spray. Broil the stuffed patties in the upper third of the oven, about 4 minutes per side for medium-well. In either case, let the burgers stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies






Guys, our kids favorite! COOKIES!






Let's try this as another token to them for
being good girls and good boys this afternoon.



Ingredients
2 cups rolled oats (not quick-cooking)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup tahini
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg white
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts



Cooking Directions:

Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Whisk oats, all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Beat tahini and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until blended into a paste. Add granulated sugar (or Splenda) and brown sugar; continue beating until well combined-the mixture will still be a little grainy. Beat in egg, then egg white, then vanilla. Stir in the oat mixture with a wooden spoon until just moistened. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.

With damp hands, roll 1 tablespoon of the batter into a ball, place it on a prepared baking sheet and flatten it until squat, but don't let the sides crack. Continue with the remaining batter, spacing the flattened balls 2 inches apart.

Bake the cookies until golden brown, about 16 minutes, switching the pans back to front and top to bottom halfway through. Cool on the pans for 2 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Let the pans cool for a few minutes before baking another batch.
