I haven’t met a person who doesn’t like home-cooked delicious dish like this (except for vegans and vegetarians, of course). And the most amazing thing about this is, it’s super easy. No, stirring, no watching for the pot to boil, etc. Once you get it all inside the slow-cooker, you don’t need to worry about [...]
Macaroni soup or simply sopas as we call it is perfect for cold rainy days like we had this weekend. My kids love this milky pasta soup and I made this especially for just the two of them. This soup is very hearty, it’s healthy and nutritious, it’s got everything in it - meat, veggies, [...]
I LOVE purple yam (or what we call ube in Filipino) made into halaya (sweetened). Way back when I was still young and living in the province, I would never, ever, pass-up any invitations on birthdays, fiestas and even weddings because I know my favorite sweets will be there, lying splendid on a buffet [...]
Puff pastry is really good especially when it’s fresh and you made it yourself. The September challenge for the Daring Bakers is french puff pastry, vols-au vent. Too bad I wasn’t able to make it on time. I watched this video a lot on my first try at making puff pastry, it was hard for [...]
Cookies never seem to last for even a day in our house, especially if it has chocolates in it or made with some chocolates or cocoa in the batter. These cookies are no exception; I made these yesterday and all that remains of it now are the photos in this post. I don’t avoid eating [...]
Scallopine is an Italian dish of thinly pounded meat usually veal but often substituted with chicken or turkey. I love this dish and is one that I often prepare for my family. I usually serve this with cooked spaghetti or fettucine tossed with some olive oil and granulated garlic ( my quick version of spaghetti [...]
Oatmeal-raisin cookies will always be special to me. It’s the first cookie recipe that I tried more than 10 years ago now. I didn’t know anything about baking really, all I knew was I wanted to bake, make lots of chips ahoy! cookies, my fave. But I couldn’t find chocolate chips then so I turned [...]
This is my attempt to create a Patrick-themed cake. Yeah, that’s right, no Spongebob; It’s not that we like Patrick more than Sponge B.; I just thought Patrick would be easier to make. This cake is a really yummy chocolate cake. This recipe was chosen by Mary of Passionate Perseverance for the Barefoot Bloggers group [...]
Our food (Philippine cuisine) in general is a delicious mix of different cuisines from other countries/ cultures. The most dominant was the influence of Spanish in our way of cooking, three hundred years under their rule for sure created a deep impression that eventually became the foundation for a lot of our delicious dishes… like [...]
Tyler Florence is one of my earliest favorite chefs on Food Network. I love his show, Food 911, too bad it’s no longer around but I used to daydream before that he would come in my kitchen and rescue me,err my dish from becoming a disaster ( I used to burn a lot of food [...]
