One of the hardest things about planning a wedding is finding the right Wedding Dress. I didn't want to spend too much on a dress but I didn't want it to look cheap. So I searched the Internet for affordable dress. It pointed me to one place Divisoria. Specifically Ylaya Street and Tabora Street . For someone who is not so familiar with Divisoria and so great with directions it would extremely difficult for me to find a wedding dress on my own. Good thing my husband accompanied me to Divisoria.

We were both not familiar with Divisoria. Only thing we know is 168 Mall. We took the LRT  train and alighted at Recto Station. We took a jeepney ride to Divisoria and and started walking around. After 5 to 10 minutes, we found Ylaya Street and started our search.

We were surprised on the variety of Wedding dresses. There are Wedding dresses that cost from only 1800 pesos to 6000 pesos. The good about is that all the accessories are included. Cord, veil, pillow and are also part of the package. The three wedding dress below are ranging from P1800 to P2500 pesos. All the accessories are included.





The whole place has everything that you need for the wedding. You could also find Barong Tagalog ranging from 300 pesos and above. Coat and Tie from the groom is also available from 1200 pesos and above. You could also find dresses for your entourages from your Maid of honor to your flower girls. They have it all

So if you are looking for affordable or cheap wedding dresses which ranges from 1800 pesos and above, just drop by Ilaya Street Divisoria. Great thing about this place is that you could bargain for a lower price.

Ingredients:

1/4 kg ground beef or ground pork

1 carrot (chopped)
parsley (chopped)
milk (optional)
2 eggs

1. To make the meatballs, just mix the above mentioned ingredients (ground beef/pork,onion,carrots, parsley, milk, eggs, cornstarch, salt and pepper and magic sarap for added flaor)

2. After mixing, use tablespoons to roll it and compress to make a round shape. Then, pour cooking oil in a frying pan and fry the meatballs until golden brown. Set aside.

3. To make the sauce, mix butter, then the spaghetti sauce (I use Clara Ole Three Cheese Spaghetti sauce, because i find it more tasteful than the other Spaghetti sauce available). Put dried oregano, salt and pepper to taste, and now add the fried meatballs and mix well. Let it simmer for just 3-5 mins.

4. Now, ready for plating, then sprinkle with chopped parsley and grated cheese on top.

This is just a very simple Spaghetti with meatballs recipe, wherein the ingredients are readily available in your kitchen and can easily found on your favorite grocery store.Also,you can add more ingredients to your meatballs (bread crumbs, mushroom etc) if you want and add more herbs to the sauce like basil and you may use parmesan cheese as well.

Enjoy eating!
