Followup on new cooking experiments

My Pasta with Baby Kailan in lemon juice had a different taste in comparison with the usually heavy-sauced pastas I eat. The different flavours were fresher and stronger, yet they mingled well with one another. I had added strawberries as well and the whole dish looked very colourful as well as visually appealing. My Pizza Burgers were good. The chopped mushroom and green peppers retained their own tastes but complemented the melted cheese. It was really a filling meal though the portions weren't big. I could have added more cheese though.

My Chocolate Caramel Crispy Cakes were good too. I was a little sceptical to give them to my friends, as this was my first try, but I had the correct ingredients and convinced myself that it wouldn't taste too bad if I religiously followed the method. Thank goodness I was right. Celeste liked them and even asked for the recipe. :) My Melting Moments scored like the last time. This time round, I did almost everything on my own, with needed advice and help from Frances and my neighbour though. The cookies turned out fine. They tasted light and not too buttery. I'm especially heartened by this recipe.

The Chicken Breast with Cheese and Mushrooms was healthy and a blast too. I added less salt during the marinating process and topped the chicken with more cheese
, lessons I had learnt earlier. I served the leftover mushrooms and green pepper, which had been lightly sauteed, as side dishes. It was a satisfying and filling meal, causing me to have only 2 slices of ham and grapes for my dinner. :)
