As it has been cold and wet after the snow, Zach and I did not really like to be out in the roads. For the next weekends following the snow storm, we stayed home and it was an opportunity for me to do some cooking and baking.
When I came home for the holidays, my sister, Joy, made some really delicious lasagna with signature Pinoy taste. She made her bechamel sauce from scratch with a hint of mushroom flavor making it really tasty and made the well-loved family recipe pasta tomato sauce (not like me who buys ready-made and bottled ones, haha!) I promised Zach that I will "try" and make one for him when I get back here in England.
And here's my first attempt of lasagna using home-cooked sauces.
layered in the tray topped with 4-Cheese Melting Mix - Grated mozzarella, mature coloured Cheddar, tasty Lancashire and Dutch Edam cheeses
At first, I thought that we would have lasagna for the rest of the week but it did not even last for more than 24 hours. Not bad for a first try...hehe!
Having influenced Zach with my penchant for sweets, I have now noticed that our weekly grocery will never be complete without cookies and anything chocolate. That led me to search cookie recipes in the net and here's what caught my fancy.
Chocolate Crinkles
Again, I thought that our cookie jar will never go empty in the next few days. But then, I was lucky enough to see three cookies left when I returned from work the next day.

Mouth watering!!! Nami kaon lasagna sa Sbarros pero Lenten season na so minimize anay... :)
Hehehe... Whenever I cook Italian dishes at home, I make sure that I can eat it all in one seating... Indi kauyon mga tawo sa balay Italian foods... Sang madiskobrehan ko ang Calea, pirme man ko gabakal pero I seem to be the only one enjoying... Hay... Pang Pinoy lang gid ang panglasa sang mga tawo sa balay... :)
Yeah, lain gid man ya ang timpla sang pasta sa aton. that's why even if italian dishes are widely available here, ma-miss ko man gyapon ang pinoy pasta.
baw kanamit sa pics pa lang..good job, Ming!
interesado ako sang lasagna kag sauce recipe ;)
hi maping! sige bala i'll post the recipe sauce here if may time na ko. hehe!
your lasagna and chocolate crinkles looks so yummy Don, haaaay. hehehe. Actually, I prefer my own homemade lasagna over the lasagna in Italian restaurants here, I find their taste too strong somehow in salt and other spices. I like Italian foods but only if I or some Pinoy oooked it :) haha! Anyway, I really like the picture of your lasagna and chocolate crinkles, can I have some? :)
Hi Ms. Beth, thanks for dropping by. Same with me, I don't enjoy Italian recipe that much because of too much spices. I still prefer the signature Pinoy taste.
