Some Light Meal...

Last night after a fun, fun, fun first birthday celebration of Cailey (who happens to be my grand daughter pala!) at Sta. Maria, Bulacan, we decided not to eat dinner since we were still full from the buffet served from the party  Most of the dishes were meat-based and even after almost two hours of travel, we didn't feel any hunger.

But since I am breastfeeding, I might get hungry at the middle of the night so I've decided to eat at least a light meal. Hunting in the Kitchen, I found some baguette, cream cheese in the fridge and pack of instant crab and corn soup. I told my hubby and he made it a little request. A French Toast Baguette.


Honestly, that was the first time I made a french toast. Good thing, we have milk and eggs available in the fridge. Its like meant to be! =)

I just whisk the eggs and milk together, drizzle a little maple syrup, put the bread slices in the mixture then toss it in the pan. I'm super glad it tasted good!

Although my Aya was not that fond of it, he finished two bowls of the soup. My Yael loved it but I didn't let him eat too much since its almost ten in the evening already.

This Crab and Corn soup is a family favorite since time immemorial. We are also fond of Nido soup where I usually add some boiled quail eggs. Aya is sucker of these eggs. He fondly calls it "baby eggs". I have also tried to make my own version of crab and corn, using fresh ingredients. I add sliced crab sticks. Five sticks are good enough. I also shred some kernels of sweet corn. Two cobs will do. I added celery although my original plan was to use spring onions. But the celery was great. I forgot to take a picture of my version. Maybe next time. It was good but if you're in a rush, the ones in packs will do. =)

I love this cheese. Good thing Ate Fay brought some. We still got whole baguette. Expect more of french toast. =)

But this time I'll teach my brother and nephew how to do it. They liked it too!

The baguette will be great with salad too. You can get fresh greens, sliced fruit and left over chicken, toss them together and dig in. Clara Ole got different viands of dressings with a very affordable price. I think one tetra pack cost more or less thirty pesos.

Baguette, Salad, Soup and some wine. You can try make your own this coming Heart's Day for your valentine. Restos will be crowded anyway on this day. And you can also save a lot and not suffer with this day's fuzz and hassle. Anyway, all stuff with your personal touch will always be extra special.



Yum, yum, yum,
