Fried Potato Cakes

I have a toddler who doesn't want to eat veggies.. I was searching online what foods I can make him eat and I found this Potato Cake recipe. I altered it a bit and my boy ate it (to my surprise) with peanut butter. He was asking for ketchup but it was the end of the week and the supplies are running down.

Fried Potato Cake

2 small potatoes
Moringa oleifera (or you can use any green veggie)
cheese
1 egg
cornstarch

1. Boil the potatoes
2. Blend everything in a blender.
3. Get a spoonful and fry in oil.

The original recipe said you can also use other ingredients like ham, meat, and other vegetables like carrots. It's very easy!

Buko Pandan Gulaman With Pineapple

It's yummy and I can't get enough, seriously.

Actually this is just an accidental recipe. I just thought of making a plain one but it turned out that the brand I was using needs more water than the previous brand of gulaman I used. So, it ended very hard and I didn't like it. So I got some cream, cheese and milk and ta-da! It turned so delicious.

Ingredients:
1 gulaman, buko pandan flavor (cooked according to package's instruction)
1 cream (I used Nestle cream)
1/2 of the big can of condensed milk
cheese cut into cubes (as many as you like)
pineapple (as many as you like)

1.  After cooking the gulaman, let it cool. When it is cool enough, cut into small cubes.
2.  Pour all the ingredients inside a big bowl and mix. You can use as many cheese and pineapple as you want. I just used 1 small can of pineapple and I thought it would be better if I used more. :) You can also add some raisins if you want.

Decoupage Plastic Containers

My aunt has this plastic cabinet/containers containing all her undies and it's already old - the white is already dirty white, if you know what I mean. So I got some pretty papers and prepped it. Here's how it looks like before

Measure the length and width and cut the paper

Use your decoupage medium ( Mine is 1/2 part glue and 1/2 part water)

And here's the finished cabinet (it's still wet)

Eye Makeup Organizer Using Cardboard and Decoupage

Are you one of those women who have lots of eye makeups and don't know how to organize it? I created an organizer for my aunt where she can put all her eyeliners inside. My materials? A box, decoupage medium, colored paper and some nice cutouts for decorations.

I tried to cut the colored paper first but I don't like the result so I just covered the box fully

Tape the  bottom part

Glue the excess paper on the top

Decoupage your cutouts

And let it dry.  Here's the finished product

Quiet Building Blocks

Where we live is a very quiet place - yeah, you can hear the crickets and birds chirping. And so, I don't like the unnecessary noise that is made by son when he throws his toys. Ugh, he's an energetic two year old and is in the process of discipline. :)

Anyway, I thought of buying him building blocks but I didn't because I thought he will throw it if he becomes bored. So, I bought him sponges as building blocks and he loves it. Even if he throws it, it's still quiet so mission accomplished!

Here's my baby boy playing with his sponge blocks.

Decoupage Door With Newspaper

I was in my aunt's house and I really really love to decorate it. It's big but they don't have the time to decorate it. Did I tell you only girls lived in her house? And getting a carpenter to have something done would take months because we live in a small town and carpenters are only few. So, I dug some inspirations in pinterest and with few old newspaper at hand, I decoupaged her closet door (without her permission!) Good news though, she liked it and she wants me to paint her bedroom too. I would really love to do that in the next project!

Alright, here's the tools I used. I used a decoupage medium with 1/2 Elmer's Glue and 1/2 Water, some newspapers and a paintbrush. I consumed 1 glass jar for each closet door which includes 2 coats for finishing.

Here's how it looks like before:

Yeah, it's old and dull. You can say what you want, of course. Now, here's how it looks like after I've done the decoupaging.

It looks better and my eyes won't get sore looking at the old paint :)
