One of my favorite treats as a kid was an ice cream sandwich. Nope, I’m not talking about branded treats which usually offered a scoop of vanilla ice cream squeezed in between two chocolate wafers. I’m talking about one of my favorite ice cream flavors and the simply delicious pandesal. In my opinion, mango ice [...]

So much for eating like I’m pregnant (that is, eating healthy). When my sister said there was a bunch of deep fried cookies for our afternoon snack, I just had to try this out! Deep Fried Oreos are your Oreos dipped in a pancake batter mix and then, well, deep-fried. I was surprised that they [...]

Have you tried placing bite-sized pieces of Quezo de Bola on a plate then sticking it a microwave for 30-45 seconds? What you get are crispy little Quezo de Bola snacks. Once you bite into it, the trademark Quezo de Bola cheesy flavor just explodes in your mouth. Gah. It’s DELICIOUS. Thanks to my Tita [...]

Deep-fried chocolate. Who wouldn’t want that? When my little cousin asked me to be her sous chef one Sunday afternoon, I said yes, then grabbed my camera to film her creating some delicious Nutella Wontons. The video was a bust (wrong settings my foot!) but the wontons were a success. Here’s a picture of the [...]

Melon cubes wrapped in Prosciutto — big flavors in small bites! My sister prepared this last weekend, much to the delight of the family. It was a refreshing and light afternoon snack. It’s quite simple to prepare. Just roll a thin strip of prosciutto around a melon cube, top with another melon cube and pierce [...]

My sister just baked her famous cookies and I think I’ve devoured a dozen in the past five minutes. Must. stop. munching. I really have to start eating healthier desserts. It’s hard to ignore a screaming sweet tooth after a delightful meal. Dessert doesn’t have to be sinful to be enjoyed! One can still satisfy [...]

Inspired by a recipe on the first episode of Top Chef Masters, I walked (well, waddled) to the kitchen and decided to make my own version. The dish? Bite-Sized French Toast. It follows the same recipe as French Toast, only you cut up your bread into much smaller pieces before dipping them into the egg [...]

Kapag “comfort food” ang pinag-uusapan, agad-agad pumapasok sa isip natin ang masasabaw na pagkain, mga nakapagpapainit sa tiyan at damdamin. Sinigang na Baboy. Champorado. Nilagang Baka. Oh yeah. Ang tuyo ba na ulam ay pwede rin ba maging “comfort food”? Oo naman. Para sa akin, isa na rito ang Giniling na Karne ng Baka na [...]

How can your day go wrong if you start it this way? French toast with sausages, Nutella and grape jelly on the side. Ooh la la. This is a great morning booster! French toast is super easy to prepare. Beat 2 eggs in a bowl. Whisk in 1/2 cup of milk. Stir in a teaspoon [...]

Giniling na may pechay at sabaw (Ground meat with Chinese cabbage and soup) is one of my favorite comfort foods. It’s easy to make and always hits the spot. Simply saute one chopped onion in hot oil till transparent. Saute garlic till softened. Add chopped tomato. Add your choice of ground meat (beef, pork or [...]
