It is said that corns can help one lose weight. Women especially like corns because they can also help maintain breast health. Corn seeds - the white little stuff inside each corn - is an amazing antioxidant. Surprised? haha EAT MORE CORNS!

Today I mainly just wanted to intake some starch, so I decided to use corn, potato and cream / milk / butter to help me with my goal. This side dish turned out very tasty and I believe I will do this again.

All you need is:
1 can cream style corns
3 red potatoes
1/2 cup of milk (doesn't matter what kind)
1/8 cup of butter
some salt

Peel and chop potatoes into little cubes. Boil them in small amount of water with some salt until it tendered. Remove all the water, add corns, milk and butter. Heat and mix until it boil gently. Add salt to adjust to your taste.

Though I heard someone said catfish is for fry but never for bake, I did enjoy today's baked catfish. It is REALLY simple and won't take you more than 5 minutes to prepare!

Wash your catfish. Apply some salt on both sides of the catfish fillet. Put it on heavy duty aluminum foil. Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil, 1/8 cup of melted butter, some black peppers and grounded garlic. Bake under 450 degrees for 15-18 minutes. DONE!

Ingredients:
2 eggs
1 sliced onion
2 chopped tomatos
1 cup sliced mushrooms
5 pieces of bacon
cheese

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.

Stir the eggs till they are uniformly mixed. Pour egg mixture onto the glassware, and bake it until it solidifies.

Fry onion, tomatos, mushrooms and bacon. Then transfer them on top of the egg layer. Spray some cheese. Bake for 20 minutes. Enjoy!

This is a simple but tasty dish. It does not need lots of time for preparation. Highly recommended for people with busy schedules :)

Ingredients:
mushrooms
bacon (doesn't matter which flavor)
white or sweet onion
2 tablespoon of butter
cheese (doesn't matter which flavor)
salt
cooked rice

Slice bacon, mushrooms and onion. Fry with butter. Add cooked rice, mix well. Salt may be added to adjust to your flavor. Then transfer all the materials into a glassware. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees. Add some cheese on top of the rice. Bake for 5-10 minutes till cheese melt.

Enjoy!

It was actually much easier than I thought. Compare to eastern cooking, one of the advantages of western cooking is that you just need to prepare the materials and oven's gonna do everything else for you. Set an alarm and you can relax and do whatever you want.

So for baking steaks, all you need to do is marinate the steak first for 30 minutes with 4 table spoons of soy sauce. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Transfer the marinated steak onto one layer of heavy duty aluminum foil. Add some olive oil, some black peppers and garlic. Bake for 15 minutes. Then flip the steaks over, and add black peppers and garlic and bake the other sides for 10 minutes. It's that simple!

LOL Baking vegetables again!

Baking corns is very simple and the crispy while watery taste of the baked corn makes kids who hate vegetables go crazy! Want to try out the recipe yourself? Here we go!

You first need to open the husks (don't remove them as they can help trap water in so that the corn won't dry out) and remove the silks. Then you brush some butter on the corn. Sparkle some salt and black peppers on it. Then re-cover the corn with the husks.

Next, you want to roll heavy duty aluminum foil lengthwise around corn and twist ends. Bake at 450 degree for 25 minutes. Serve immediately!

I'll upload the pictures later tonight as I'm studying in a classroom without my camera with me..
