Easy Baked Lasagna - My first time to make!

this photo has no filter 


First time Lasagna
 Personal Note: Lasagna is another type of Italian Pasta that uses 2 types of Sauce which are Tomato Sauce and Bechamel Sauce. You need an Oven for this type of Pasta as it needs to be baked after cooking your sauces. And you need a stainless whisker. 

This recipe is very simple and it only needs 1 type of cheese but it would taste beyond average if you'll add some herbs . I used mccormick herbs .

Tools: 
 Rectangular pan ( make sure it fits well to the size of your oven )  
 Whisker 


Tomato Sauce +  Bechamel Sauce 

1/2 (or more than Kilo) Ground Beef 
Garlic
Onions 
1 big can sliced Mushroom
1 1/2 Kilo Italian Pasta Sauce ( Clara Ole ) 
Eden Cheese Quick Melt - Big Size
Lasagna Pasta

Bechamel Sauce
4 TBSP  Flour
2-3 TBSP Butter 
1 Liter  (4cups) Fresh Milk 

Process: 

TOMATO SAUCE 
 Saute your Ground Beef with your Onions and Garlic
 Add Italian Pasta Sauce  and let it simmer
 Add mushroom 
 Salt and Pepper to taste and Set Aside 

BECHAMEL SAUCE 
Melt butter in medium heat 
Add flour once melted and whisk until combined
Add milk 

Cook your Lasagna Pasta base on the instructions indicated from the Packaging

When both of your sauces are cooked 
Prepare your rectangular pan ( make sure it fits well to the size of your oven ) 

Spread your bechamel sauce as you do the first layer of your Lasagna
And Next is your Tomato Sauce and Cheese and cover it with Pasta and repeat the process

Put it into the Oven 150 degree Celcius in 45minutes

Note: 
Setting the temperature and the time of baking will be depending on your Oven. 
I am using Convection Oven 21 liters. I lessen the amount of time of cooking and temperature to 
make sure the cheese on the top layer will not be over cooked or burned. 

Suggestion: 
 I suggest you to cook your pasta well done to make sure that it will not fail to the baking process but make sure it is not over cook. And a buy a butter quality as it might tear while or after boiling it from the water.  

Another TIP: 
  Lasagna has its best taste for the following day after cooking because the pasta absorbs all the flavor from the sauce. 




for 1 kilo of sauce worth less than Php 500 total amount of ingredients for these 2 pans


Serve and Enjoy!

Dupe Alert! True Brown K by Kylie Jenner

Pinkies Eye & Lip Liner - Burgundy 

Save!!


#chocolatelips

Lippie of the day. I'm quite hesitant to wear this shade but , Yeah! Why not. It's brown and chocolatey. Kylie Jenner is known to wear this shade , she has her own brand called  "Kylie Cosmetics" kyliecosmetics.com. I think this shade is enough to get close with her Tru-Brown-K matte lippie which cost $29. http://kyliecosmetics.com/products/true-brown-k

Pinkies is a new brand of make up and says Made in France, I used to ignore and passed by to this stall coz the babypink packaging turns me off. I find it insincere make up and just for teens who plays make up. But I went all gaga after finding out a blog about this liners. And since this is a new line of make up this shade only cost 89 pesos. They do have other shades available that you may wanna check which also cost 89. 

I didn't use filters or any kind of enhancements to my photo's for you to appreciate. 












What do you think? Isn't it an Official Dupe for the True Brown k Lippie?

Verdict: This shade won't fit to my character nor to the shape of my lips, I had a hard time making a pose, I find it weird to wear. Hahaha! But I'm really glad to have this shade. I like how I made it matte from the silky form though. For only 89 pesos and very much affordable.

Chocolate Lovers in Cubao



Blogging Finally!
 
Anyway, It was Saturday afternoon I went to Chocolate house in Cubao to buy for the goodies that I need for baking. It wasn't my first time to go there, but this is the first time I'll be blogging about it. 
It's a store for bakers and moms who's into baking. You would find a lot of things for baking there like different pans, chocolate bars ( dark, white and pink) chocolate coins, chocolate chips, butter and bars of cream cheese, they also have those toppers or flowers made of candy for your cake, and packaging. If you're looking for basic baking needs like those, you may find it there. I can't take photo's inside sorry, but at least I was able to take pictures how it looks like outside.

They also have baking class if you're interested you may visit their website here: http://achocolatelover.com/

Dove Dry Shampoo

DRY SHAMPOO
Dove
Php 274.74 Landmark Trinoma 
Powder base shampoo. 

TIP: For a healthier hair, do not shampoo your hair everyday, Do it every other day.

So far this is the cheapest Dry Shampoo I found. Bought his at Landmark trinoma, when there was a sale going on a few weeks back. Since I like quick fix and always on the go, it would save time for me to not shampoo my hair and wash my body, but of course I don't want my hair so greasy. Reason why I was looking for a Dry shampoo since I heard it. 

Batiste is the one that I really want to try, but its only available online. I also found aveeno at SnR but ignored it, since I wasn't that interested with dry shampoo that time. 


What I like :
 Smells good after application and the scent stays on even the following day
 Since this is powder based shampoo, it removes the greasiness and "limpness" of my hair. 

Not like: 
 Pricey - Yes, it's the cheapest but I think most of dry shampoo's would range that amount talaga.
You would wish that there'll be Dry conditioner too. Because it's too dry to may hair that makes it awkwardly rough when you touched it. 





I'll try my best to make a quick demo of this , same channel same spot. Soon. 

Cheese Balls 2016

I bet you have left over cheese right now in your fridge.  I made bread roll today and I know most of you knows how to make this one. If you don't, just go youtube and type "How to make Bread Roll" coz there's a lot of varieties already. 


This one is unintended. One of my favorite is Cheese. So I made cheese balls. I used Quick Melt cheese, bread crumbs, and beated egg.

Procedure:
 Mold cheese into ball.
 Wash it with your beated egg.
 Roll it to your bread crumbs

 And then wash it AGAIN with Beated egg.
 Then Roll it AGAIN to  to your bread crumbs.

You have to coat it twice because you are using a Quick Melt cheese.

Cook,  Deep Fry!





Crunchy outside melted cheese inside.
Yummers!
