Crispy Quezo de Bola

Monday, January 11th, 2010

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 Frances [...]


Nutella Wontons

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

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 finished [...]


Prosciutto and Melon Bites

Friday, October 30th, 2009

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 [...]


A Dozen Healthy Desserts

Monday, October 19th, 2009

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 that [...]


Bite-Sized French Toast

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

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 [...]


Tuyong Comfort Food

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

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 of sugar. [...]


Giniling na may pechay at sabaw

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

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 chicken) [...]


Pork chops with curry fried rice and green beans

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Pork Chops. Curry. Vegetables. Three homey and filling things I was looking forward to after a long day at work. Upon arriving at home, I went straight to the kitchen and whipped up pan-fried porkchops, curry rice and buttered beans.
Simple Pan-Fried Pork Chops. Pepper is love so I was mighty generous with it. I coated [...]


Would you like bananas with that?

Friday, April 10th, 2009

I sure do! But wait, what the heck is that!? Sorry for the weird picture, but that really is how a banana pancake looks like while cooking.
When the pancake batter is cooking, top with some roughly chopped bananas. Don’t worry about weird bumps in your pancakes. Pancakes always find a way to spread out evenly [...]
