My friend Nikki and I looked up a butter chicken recipe on Pinterest.   And we went to Walmart to gather all the ingredients for the butter chicken recipe. We bought a canned tomato puree and butter chicken seasoning mix. First, I cut the chicken into cubes. Second, I seasoned the chicken with salt and pepper, with a butter chicken seasoning packet. Next, I cooked the chicken in the pan with the sauce. Then, I made the butter chicken sauce using Greek yogurt, canned tomato puree, and a butter chicken seasoning mix.  All in all, my friend Nikki helped me cook the rice in the microwave. I had delicious butter chicken for lunch.

Cheesy Meat and Potato Casserole

Last Friday, I made the cheesy meat-and-potato casserole with my friend Nikki. First, we looked up casserole recipes on Pinterest. Then we went to Walmart and bought all the ingredients for this dish.   After we got back to my apartment, we started to cook together.  First, I sliced the potatoes thinly and put them in a bowl for  use later. Nikki  chopped some onions into small cubes. Second, I cooked the ground beef.  Then, I added the onion to the beef. Last, I put the potatoes on top of the ground meat and added cheese. All in all, I put the pan in the oven to bake it. Finally, the casserole came out hot, creamy, and comforting, with a golden cheesy crust. It smelled rich and savory. It's so delicious!  I had fun cooking with my friend Nikki.  

Delicious Stuffed Bell Pepper

I wanted to make stuffed bell peppers, so I searched YouTube for a video on how to do it.  I found one and learned how to make a stuffed bell pepper with ground beef. First, I chopped some onions and mixed them with the ground beef. I cooked the mixture with salt and pepper.  Second, I opened a can of vegetables, poured them into the bowl, and drained all the liquid. Then I grabbed a cup of cheese and cooked rice, and combined all the above ingredients to make the filling. Next, I cut off the top of a bell pepper to remove all the seeds.     All in all, I added all the ingredients to the bell peppers and then topped the inside of the rainbow bell pepper with cheese.            Lastly, I baked the bell peppers in the oven at 350°F for 30 minutes. The cheese turned golden brown, the filling was rich, and the bell peppers were so juicy! I enjoyed my delicious stuffed red bell pepper. I drank non-alcoholic beer with my meal, and my whole fam...

Fun Zumba Party

My mom and I went to a Zumba class at the Fitness 19 gym. It was a special class to celebrate Christmas. Most of us wore Christmas-themed clothes and hats, and I wore my festive ugly sweater with bells and lights. Our Zumba instructor, Myrtle, played some Christmas music. We danced to all the Christmas songs. I danced very crazily, yelled very happily, and danced with a very nice old lady. I was sweating and uplifted. After the dance, we had a fun raffle. I won a gift bag of beauty products. I was so excited.  After the raffle, we had a potluck. There were pork, fried shrimp, cheesy potatoes, noodles, samosas, spring rolls, and rice, along with some cookies and coconut pudding. It was so delicious!    As we ate, we chatted with friends. I even made a new friend, Randy. What a wonderful Zumba party!

Comforting Simple Omelet

Today I made two omelets for breakfast, one for me and one for my mom. It's very simple to make. First, I cracked two eggs into the tin bowl and beat them. I also prepared some spinach and cheese. Second, I cooked the eggs in a pan on the stove for two minutes.  Third, I added spinach and cheese to one side of the omelet and folded it.  Last, I put the omelet on the white plate with some dragon fruit. My mom and I enjoyed this warm, delicious omelet on a winter morning. It's so comforting!

Independent Grocery Shopping

Last Sunday, I took the Handy Ride to Walmart Neighborhood Market to shop for groceries. I prepared a shopping list and requested a round trip from Handy Ride the day before shopping. I took my shopping cart to Walmart.  I bought grapes, bread, cheese, vegetables, yogurt, and a box of chimichangas. During my shopping, I checked the sodium content on the cheese package.  And I bought the diet tea and zero-sugar orange juice.  I bought everything on my shopping list. I rode the Handy Ride back home. I enjoyed grocery shopping by myself. 

Five-Colored Fried Rice

I made the fried rice with five ingredients: seaweed, shrimp, edamame, eggs, and brown rice. These ingredients have five different colors. First, I cut the seaweed into small pieces on the big plate.  Next, I put the cooked shrimp and edamame next to the seaweed. Then I beat the eggs in a tin bowl and fried them first. After the eggs were cooked and fluffy, I added the remaining ingredients to the pan.  At last, I added salt and sesame oil for flavor.   I enjoyed colorful fried rice with  apple slices. It's savory and fragrant.
