- Hearty Chicken Tomato Sauce Bake -

It was near Christmas time, and outside the snow and cold winds were raging. In such times, what you want for dinner is comfort food. Now usually, my comfort food would be something along the lines of chicken soup with rice - Asian style. But I wanted to do something different this time, just for the heck of it, and so I came up with this dish :) It's something easy, yet hearty and satisfying. If I remember correctly, I think both my bf and I thoroughly enjoyed this!

I took some pictures of the steps as well, although I don't have any recipe. In fact, unless I'm baking (in which case exact measurements are crucial to the end result), I don't usually use recipes. I just look around in my kitchen, think in my head what kinds of flavours I want to achieve, add a bit of this and that - taste it - and VOILĂ€! 

Step 1 - Marinade/Prep Chicken


Step 2 - Pan Sear

Step 3 - Make the sauce

Step 4 - Smother sauce over chicken and bake in oven.
Add cheese to broil a few mins before serving.

Starting with a miscellany of food memories

Living off-campus in Canada turned me into a person who enjoys cooking as much as eating. It's one experience to be presented with something delightful, another experience when you are involved backstage, another when you see someone smiling after eating your food, and yet another when you enjoy it after putting in that much effort. I think it's all fun! Food has always been a passion of mine, and I believe that it will always be. My parents will certainly not support me pursuing it any further than as a hobby, but hey - who knows. I still have a long road ahead!

I took so many pictures of my food - so many that looking at all the files in my laptop, it's safe to say that at least 80% (if not more) of the pictures in my computer are food related! lol I've always planned on sharing it, but never got around to a lot of them, so I guess I'll be posting backlogs for now. I'm living with my family now, so I don't get a chance to cook - mom is in control of the kitchen! lol Which is a pity because I've gotten so used to cooking and eating whatever I want. Well, my next stop is Australia, so that's when I'll resume my cooking ventures in real life. In the meantime it may just be restaurant reviews. With that said, let's get started!

-There's always a first to everything-

It's the first post! (And yes, at this point in time I am basically talking to myself) Hopefully, someone might stumble upon this little space and appreciate my point of view. Until then, well - it's just me. 

Time flies by as we encounter so many different things - some we forget, some we keep close to our hearts. I don't want to look back and not remember who I am at this point in my life, so both my blog and tumblr will be a miscellany of all my adventures and misadventures. I reblog a lot on tumblr, but this is where I'll mostly post more personal things. So.

Ready..........Get set.............................. GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
