Ms. Kriska Marie, with her post "Medical Items-themed Cupcakes" on her blog: Sweet Nothings

I love looking at different cupcakes - simple and elaborately designed ones! The cupcakes made by Ms. Kriska Marie and her sister are decorated with fondant, and I must say they have done a very good job! Do click on the shot above to see the post.

Leftover Salad ... that's what my post is going to be called.

Ingredients

• lettuce (cleaned and shredded)
• radish (sliced)
• cheese (i used cheddar, grated)
• grapes (seedless preferred)
• leftover roasted chicken (cut/flaked into bite-size; bones removed)
• grilled bellpepper (which was peeled then juliened)
• capers 
• toasted bread

dressing
olive oil, salt, pepper, calamansi juice, mustard, honey, crushed capers

some of the ingredients

Procedure
Mix the first six ingredients. Keep cool.
Mix the dressing. Pour over the salad once ready to serve.
Perfect with peppered toasted bread.

I actually had this yesterday, after I got my kindergarten to school. I was hungry but too lazy to wait and prepare a "proper" breakfast (which, for me, means having to cook steamed rice since there were no leftovers from the night before) for myself. Grabbed what I can from my meager stock and had this salad. Quite filling, actually. I would have wanted to add boiled eggs, but ... yeah. Next time. :)

Ms. Jessica, who blogs over at Home Cooking with Jessy, with her post: My little girl's first time to eat at Jollibee

It's wonderful that after six years Ms. Jessy has managed to go back home and even bring along her kid to meet some of the family! I can just imagine her mom's apprehension meeting her granddaughter for the first time and finally hugging her. Eating in one of her fave fast food restaurants must also be a real treat after all those years! Am sure you had an awesome vacation here, Ms. Jessy! To know more, click on the picture above.

A basic recipe for Pancake is my post for this week. Yeah, so basic and you can add fruits to liven it up, or maybe make it savoury instead of sweet. Your call. :)

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp coarse salt
• 2 3/4 tsps baking powder
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 3 tbsps unsalted butter, plus more for serving
• Vegetable oil, for the griddle
• Pure maple syrup, warmed, for serving

*note: I used 1 1/2 tbsp muscovado sugar and added 1 tbsp vanilla extract
I didn't have maple syrup; I used confectioner's powdered sugar instead

Procedure:

• Mix together the dry ingredients first.
• Make a hole in the center then add in the wet ingredients. Mix well.
• Put vegetable oil (I used canola oil) into the pan and cook until you see bubbles on the side; then flip them over. Wait a few minutes then place on clean plate. Spread some butter on top and the maple syrup (in my case, I used powdered sugar). Enjoy.

Usually, we eat them as they cook. Tastes much better that way. lol. I must admit, the pancakes were not as fluffy as I wanted. But it tasted great. :)

Also, I forgot where I got the recipe, so sorry! Will post it here when I do manage to find the site...was browsing via my phone that day when I copied the recipe. :P

Reminder: Please don't forget to link back (a simple text would be great, or you may use the buttons provided here). Also, please try to visit the other party-goers and leave some commentluv to let them know that you dropped by. Many thanks! :)
