Granola and Fruits Parfait

This is a very delicious treat for breakfast or brunch, so easy to make if you already have granola and mixed fresh fruits salad on hand.

Summer Fresh Fruits Salad »

Summer Fresh Fruits Salad

One of the best thing about summer is the abundance of fresh fruits.

Buco Pandan »

Buco Pandan

Buco (buko) pandan is a very popular dessert here in the Philippines.  It’s  really simple to make  but it needs chilling time so you have to make it a few hours in advance.  This is not a light dessert, so if you are on a diet, I’m afraid this is not for you unless you have absolutely [...]

Purple Yam - YUM! (Ube Halaya)

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 [...]

Candied Ginger »

Candied Ginger

Eversince I got my candy thermometer I find myself using it quite often than I expected.  I bought it for making mallows, I thought after that it would join the other kitchen tools that I seldom use like the peeler and egg slicer but I never thought that it would be a lot useful to [...]
