Sugar-Free Carrot Cupcakes »
I’ve been searching for a good health-ier carrot cake recipe that I could turn into cupcakes. Most of the carrot cake recipes has too much oil and sugar which is fine for layer cakes or loaves as I have tried them; but to turn them into cupcakes.. not a good idea, at least in my [...]
Ampalaya (Bitter Gourd) with Pork »
Ampalaya or bitter gourd is probably number one on children’s list of no-way-I-will-eat-that food for some reasons. For one it is a vegetable, two, ampalaya will not be called bitter gourd/melon for nothing, it is bitter; and three, moms always say it’s good for them. It’s not easy to make my kids like vegetables especially [...]
Anthony Bourdain on Manila Street Food »
See this video of Anthony Bourdain (he looks like George Clooney to me) having a taste of Filipino street foods. I think he liked the fish balls, cause he went for seconds there. Some might be grossed out to try it as it look so unsanitary, oh yes, actually it is, every home-grown Filipino knows [...]
Pichi-Pichi »
Pichi-pichi is a pretty unusual name for a food, so much more for a kakanin. I don’t know where it got it’s name from but I like it. It sounds like pica-pica which is what pichi-pichi is in essence: a bite size snack. It is a type of kakanin which refers to the many ways [...]
Picadillo »
Back in college my two sisters and I lived in a boarding house and whoever comes home first will have to cook dinner and that unfortunately for all of us, was most of the time, me. As much as we dreaded my cooking, we didn’t have a choice then, but to eat it. We lived [...]
Birthday Sheet Cake »
I was so mixed up, I thought the posting date for this cake was on the 14th, this is for the barefoot bloggers group that I joined last month. I already missed last month’s second posting and here I go again, but this time I’m posting it even if it’s late; better than never as they [...]
Daring Cooks’ Challenge: Indian Dosas »
This is my second Daring Cooks Challenge. The host for September is Debyi from HealthyVeganKitchen.com. She chose Vegan version of Indian Dosas for this month’s challenge. I have no idea what this dish is when I first learned of the challenge. I have never tried any Indian dish before except maybe for the curry [...]
Healthy Baked Rigatoni with Bechamel Sauce »
This is my take on Giada’s classic baked rigatoni with bechamel sauce recipe. I added a twist on it to make it more healthy and rich in fiber. We love baked pasta with bechamel sauce, it’s one of our family’s favorite and one that I often made before. I thought of tweaking this old favorite [...]
Vegan Mung Beans Soup (Mongo Guisado w/o meat) »
I am not vegetarian or a vegan, no one in my family is, we love to eat meat but once in a while I do take a break from meat or at least omit it in vegetable dish like this one. You won’t actually miss the meat here, personally I don’t think it needs it, [...]
Pork, Cabbage and Potato Stew »
I had this dish for the first time under the shade of an Indian Mango Tree. My family and I went for a visit on my grandma’s house on the farm, and my aunt prepared a simple lunch of fried fish, green mangoes with bagoong and this cabbage and potato stew. It was a hot [...]
