AMW Cooks: Chicken Curry

Hi AMW friends!

One of my easy-to-do and feel-good recipe is Chicken Curry!  When I have the energy, I usually fry the meat (either pork or chicken) and separate the curry sauce.  On days I am too tired to do the extra work, I'd just dump a chicken together with the vegetables and curry sauce and just let it sit for a couple of hours for the flavors to seep in. 

For today's AMW Cooks recipe, it's my easy-peasy Chicken Curry.

Ingredients:

• Oil
• Onions
• Potatoes
• Carrots
• Chicken (chopped)
• Curry powder or cubes
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Cornstarch slurry (if needed)

Side story, ask me my favorite meat, my answer will always be Chicken!  Unfortunately, I do get allergic reactions to certain chicken so I am very particular with the brand of chicken that I purchase!  I usually go for fresh ones from the market but on most days when I need meat inside my freezer for back-ups, I go for Magnolia Chicken.  I usually purchase the free-range ones (Breasts and thighs are my favorite) but if I want to stock up on chicken meat, I'd go for the Whole Chicken to retain freshness and have them chopped the night before I plan to cook them!  That's why I'm so grateful when I was sent Whole Chicken from the brand that I personally buy and love!  Thanks Magnolia Chicken Philippines!

Was reminded lang of this commercial, so Cute!

AMW Cooks with Grande Rice Brand Oil

I got a call from a very good friend (you know who you are!) recently and he said: "Nikki!  You have to be there!  It's perfect for #AMWCooks !" 

True enough, when I learned the product that's going to be launched in the Philippines, I knew I had to pull out my apron and just be there!

The launch of Grande Rice Brand Oil for today's healthy foodie and amateur cook (aka mom) as well!

I do my groceries, and I do a lot of homecooked meals, that's why I am very particular with the products I use especially cooking oil!  I sear, I pan-fry, I deep fry a lot!  (Check out #AMWCooks on IG #ShamelessPlugIKnow !)  That's why I have to keep in mind the health of my family so learning the this newest cooking oil brand is healthy, I had to give this a try!

"Rice Brand Oil is extracted from the middle layer of the husk and the grain wherein it is rich in natural antioxidants such as Vitamin E, phytosterols and Gamma-orzanol.  Using the finest extraction and physical refinement processes of Grande, it was able to produce one of the healthiest oils in the world that you can use to fry, sear and saute without worrying what you're digesting is too oily and unhealthy for you.  
Grand Rice Brand Oil is labeled as "the Olive Oil of the East" and as such, you can use it in salad as a healthy dressing and base for baking."

Maybe, You Need This --- HSBC Gold Visa Cash Back Credit Card

I had a credit card as early as 16 years old (a supplementary to my brother) and it was a wonderful "practice" to be smart with my finances.

Once I got into the workforce, I applied my own credit card and had a couple of rejections but that doesn't stop me from trying, why?  Because I wanted the perks that comes with my own credit card.  Just the perk of earning points and using the points to shop for free.

Fast forward to decades after, I am glad Credit Card companies creating more ways for shoppers like YOU and ME to feel guiltless when we shop with our credit card.  Meet the Ultimate Cash Back Card that gives the biggest rewards for dining, shopping and traveling.

Cathy Doll Sculpting: Highlight & Shading Cushion Review

Happy Friday!
This week and the rest of the weeks flew by pretty quickly I can't keep track!  It's almost August guys!  And I'm a bit melo-dramatic because it was months ago (particularly May 2017) when I hosted the launch of Cathy Doll All Dolled Up Launch which includes the Sculpting Highlight & Shading Cushion.  It's funny I actually tried this product as early as first quarter of the year, was really excited about this but waited for the official launch to really share my review!  Because of the extremely busy schedule, I can't believe I'm only reviewing this now!  But better late than never!

Upon seeing these products in Bangkok, Thailand at the Karmart Store, I immediately went for this because I am always a sucker for unique products!  This is definitely one of the most unique and innovative Highlight and Contour product and I'm glad my excitement didn't end there!  This product really works.

Housed in a similar packaging as the Cathy Doll AA Cushion or any BB Cushion, everything looks the same until you open the packaging.

 

"Cathy Doll Sculpting Highlight and Shading Cushion SPF50 PA +++ is a 3 dimensional contour cushion that comes with a highlighter to emphasize your best features and shading to add 3 dimensional appearance. Aside offering a grease-free, matte finish look upon application, the cushion also provides effective sun protection. You may choose from the 2 available shades that would best suit your skin tone."
