Making Something Special Out of Something Ordinary

I used to be big on instant noodles. I really didn’t care. But not till I realize I need to eat healthy too if I want to lose fast. That’s where I started personally preparing my own everyday meals. And yes I still keep instant noodles on my grocery shopping list. They’re up for grab usually when fridge is out of goodies and till I decide to fill it again.

This time around though, I just don’t unpack, cook and gobble it as it is. I have to turn it into something healthy and make it look a little inviting to the eyes and the palate. That is where these fresh and colorful veggies come to the rescue!

Other times when I available, I even add slice of meat or sausages to it making it a whole lot tastier. See? :D

If your kids at home would love their meals colorful, then this simple twist may help. :)

I had this as one of my homemade stuffs for dinner last week. I am not sure if there’s similar recipes like this somewhere on the internet. All I know was I got hungry one night, scouted my fridge and saw these untouched bag of medium sized potatoes.
Using the above shown ingredients, here’s how I did the magic…

First, I took and skinned 2 of those medium sized potatoes, cut them into parts, brought to boil till cooked and set aside.

On a mixing bowl, drop 2 tbsp of Cream of Mushroom Powder, add a cup of water , sliced mushroom buttons and stir. Again, bring the mixture to boil in a saucepan, stir the mixture  constantly till it gets sticky. When done, pour the mixture in to cooked potatoes and serve.

You may as well add  meat chunks of your choice to add more flavor to it.

In my case, I had dumplings leftover that day. So I cut each into half and added it to my mixture and here’s how it went. :D

See? No sweat! You at home can try it too! ;)
