I got curious of this cookbook Bongga Sa Kusina by Regine Velasquez kaya I bought it. I love watching cooking shows especially if the hosts are celebrities I adore. Feeling ko, it puts them into a level na I can reach them and that we have something in common. When I am able to cook their dishes, I feel I get much closer to these celebrities. 😋 The recipes curated in this cookbook was from Regine’s TV show Sarap Diva. Sadly, I wasn’t able to watch any of the episodes of Sarap Diva because I’m not much of a...

If you haven’t discovered how amazing puff pastries are, then here’s your chance to see it. I’ve always loved Danish pastries so I made some tarts using peaches (my favorite canned fruit) and cinnamon (my favorite spice). That’s the beauty of being comfortable in your own kitchen sometimes. You can just whip up something that your taste bud wishes, rather than buying expensive ones. This recipe is really easy to do and you can serve it whenever you like, may it be a hot summer out there (pair it with vanilla ice...
This is the perfect time to cook this kind of soup because veggies are priced so low in the market. Imagine, I was able to buy a whole florette of broccoli just for P77 and a pack of 3 medium-sized carrots for P30+ only? I’ve heard from the news how some farmers in Baguio are having difficulty selling their veggies and that there’s a big supply of vegetables which are not being sold. If only those vegetables will reach Manila in a snap. Sad news but to take advantage of it, I thought to cook this recipe which I got from Bongga...
It’s the year of the pig and I’d like to make some slightly sweet and fruity, chilled dessert for my kids. This was the quickest thing that got on my mind. I have boxes of flavored Mr. Hat Gulaman and their strawberry flavor will be just perfect. What I love with Mr. Hat Gulaman’s flavored jelly powder is that they taste natural and only mildly sweet. I can control the sweetness as I like and the fruit flavor doesn’t taste like medicine, unlike those commercially made gelatin desserts on the market. Ingredients: 1/2...
Is the kind of cooking oil important when cooking? Isn’t it enough that we can fry or sautee with just any kind of cooking oil we pick in the market? One of the tests done at the moms meet-up – which brand of vegetable oil will solidify first? A good quality oil should not solidify quickly. Claro Palm Oil bottle is the one in the middle. Claro Palm Oil intimate gathering of moms to witness how Claro Palm Oil fares against other brands of vegetable oils. That’s how I think in the past, but you know, as I learn to cook...
What’s a cheese board? Basically, it’s a smorgasbord of delicious finger foods you like, but mostly cheese. Well, that’s my description of a cheese board. You pair your cheese with some red or white wine but if there will be kids, they can eat some of the biscuits and put some jam, or the nuts and some candies which you can include too. To quote wikipedia though: A cheeseboard (or cheese course) may be served at the end of a meal, either replacing, before or following dessert. The British tradition is to have cheese after...
Next to chicken, fish is my family’s favorite dish because I encourage them to eat as much rather than pork. And like most kids, my girls want our fish fried. But sometimes, frying fish can be troublesome because of the splattering oil ( talsik ). I once saw a funny video in Facebook how some people try to find ways how they can avoid the hot splatter. Market leader, Crispy Fry®, scores another first by introducing a breading mix for fish called Crispy Fry® Fish Breading Mix. Crispy Fry® Fish Breading Mix makes fried fish tastier...
I miss being pregnant so much, yes! Though we all know how some moms find pregnancy as a difficult period because of the vomiting, the heavy belly and the struggle in moving, I still think that those months when I was pregnant were the best. Why? I can say more than a dozen things why being pregnant is such a beautiful thing. First, of course, is you know that you have a beautiful baby inside you. Second, you bond a lot with your husband. My husband treated me like a princess when I was pregnant with my two kids. I have all the excuse...
