I've been down with the flu for over 2 weeks now and I'm not even close to recovery. Huhuhuhu My salad life, which is supposed to be fun, is taking a back seat because my body keeps looking for rice. Or food portions in humongous sizes, and a salad just won't do. Sigh. I had a meeting at work earlier and it was so embarrassing because I kept on coughing while explaining my deck, and it was also painful. It's also affecting my workout! I haven't been doing Zumba because of this terrible feeling. I just want to curl up in bed until I get well. Huhuhu

So anyway, I just want to share a recipe I did a couple of weeks ago. I've seen a lot of sardines recipes online but most of them were oil-based. I love sardines in tomato sauce so I thought, why not use it instead.

I haven't shared a recipe for quite some time now, I've been too lazy to cook because my body has been too fucked up too function. I have been changing my shift at work on a weekly basis, and I can't really say I have fully adjusted. I'm quite surprised I actually had the time to edit photos and post them on the blog and on Facebook. Anyhoo, If I do get a chance to wake up at least 2 hrs before my shift and not, say, 15mins before I'm required to be in the office, I still play around the kitchen. 

A couple of weeks ago, I woke up a bit earlier than the usual and had a bit of time to cook my food. I was ecstatic because I don't have that luxury these days. I'm usually glued to my bed, trying to get as much sleep as I can. Going back, I didn't have a lot of ingredients to work with because my pantry was almost empty. I had tuna, tomatoes, onions, garlic and uncooked leftover pasta. If I weren't starving, I would've had tuna and bread, but it felt like my small intestines and large intestines were partaking in the Hunger Games, so I thought, why not mix everything and just have pasta? 

For a good 2 months now, I've been taking more pasta than rice as I believe it has less carbs. I don't really know if I'm saving any calories here but it seems like it because I lost a lot of weight. I don't know how to make my own pasta sauce though; I'm very reliant on ready-to-use sauces which is why I love Clara Ole, Del Monte and other brands that offer instant pasta sauces. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to make my own pasta sauce one day, it's just that I don't have the resources and time right now. 

Among all the brands, I love Clara Ole the most because of the various choices they offer. One time while grocery shopping, we saw this 3-cheese pasta sauce and decided to try it. We'd usually go for Pesto but it wouldn't hurt to give this a try.
