| The Secret Recipe of the Mouthwatering Watermelon Salad |
My mom has a lot of tricks up her sleeve. What I love about her cooking is that she tries not to put a lot of twists and turns into anything. Perhaps it is because she is a very busy woman that she has accumulated a number of quick fixes for different occassions. Sometimes her methods apall me (being my grandmother's granddaughter), but most of the time, I love to copy them.
One of her many quick treats is the one I am about to share. I have been dreaming of this for days now, and I hope you can enjoy it with me.
The summer heat is just absolutely killing me. Who wouldn't want to cool down with a treat as juicy and yummy as this..?
I call this one, "AiAi's Chop n Mix Watermelon Salad".
Ingredients:
- 1 watermelon (the size is up to you)
- 1 box cheese (I use EDEN)
- 1 large can evaporated milk
- 1 small can condensed milk
Instructions:
- Cut the watermelon into small bite sized pieces. The seeds may be taken out or not. Set it aside.
- Cut the cheese into small cubes. Set it aside.
- Open the cans of milk.
- Pour the milk into the watermelon. Make sure to taste it so that you can adjust it to your preference.
- Add the cheese to the watermelon in milk. Mix it well.
- Put salad/mixture in the refrigerator until cooled.
- Serve.
The watermelon salad can be served with ice cubes mixed in it.
Even as I write this, my mouth waters. *sigh* I can't wait to mix it up today. It is not so complicated, and I like it. Certainly a very nice treat for the summer, too! ;) Enjoy!!!Labels: fruits, healthy living, homegrown, nutrition, recipes, salad |

| How to Make Delicious Potato Salad |
One of the things my friends swear by, is my grandmother's potato salad. They say it is absolutely, YUMMY! So, I will do the world a favor by sharing her version of this salad to you. It is not that hard, and you do not exactly have to follow everything by the book. There is no exact measuring and you can adjust everything to your preference. Isn't that nice? ;) You'll love it! Trust me. If not, well then, at least you tried. :D
I call it, "Lily's Potato Salad". Here it goes:
Ingredients:
- 2 kilos potato
- 2 tetra packs Mayo
- 1 can pineapple chunks
- 1 chicken breast
- 2 apples (preferably Fuji apples)
- pepper
- sugar
- salt
- pickled relish
- mustard
- white onion (finely chopped)
- chicken cubes
Instructions:
I.
- Wash the chicken breast and put to boil. When boiling, but garlic, onion, chicken cubes, salt, vetsin (optional), and a dash of pepper.
- Check if chicken breast is already soft or cooked.
- Take the chicken out of the soup to cool. DO NOT THROW AWAY CHICKEN STOCK/BROTH.
- Once chicken is cooled, shed chicken into small strips.
II.
- Peel the potatoes
- Depending on the size of the potatoes, chop until 1/4 of the size of a small potato.
- Cook the potatoes in the chicken broth. [To test if potatoes are already cooked, push a toothpick into one. If it goes right in, then it is ready.]
- Use a colander when removing the potatoes from the broth.
III.
- Mix the chicken strips and potatoes, pineapple chunks [drained], and chopped apples [same size as the potatoes].
- Season to taste using salt, pepper, mustard, pickle relish, mayo, etc.
Enjoy!
If you have questions or clarifications, please do not hesitate to ask.
[Edit: I forgot something, guys. Awfully sorry. I left out the pineapple chunks and the chopped apples.]

About Me: even when she has fairy wings on, this girl is anything BUT dainty. perhaps the size, the weight, and the personality alone are just too much for her to be considered delicate, prim, proper, and refined. this girl with the mud smudged cheeks has been down on the ground one to many times. these times forced her to be tougher, smarter, and more savvy than she has ever been. perhaps she will always be, never dainty.
