Apple Jacks cereal used to be part of the daily rotation at home together with boxes of Froot Loops (my mom’s favorite) and Rice Krispies (my favorite). Now, we buy them less often. Most likely since our tastes and definitely sugar preference has changed. But every now and then, one of us gets a craving […]

Simple and Easy Vegan Espresso Banana Muffins
Hey there! I spent the day pulling out old recipe cards from my family’s wicker basket recipe box. Although, I made a digital copy of all the recipes years ago, I still tend to use the hand scribbled ones. Of course, now the paper has yellowed with age and has been smeared with a few […]
Summer Glow Smoothie with Mango, Orange and Banana
It’s another sunny morning in this hemisphere and with the extra sun comes the extra heat. It’s days like these where a generous dose of this Summer Glow smoothie with mango, orange and banana is required. Usually, when the hot days arrive, my breakfasts switch from overnight oats and porridge to vividly colored smoothies and […]
Easy Vegan Golden Brown Waffles (Light and Crispy)
Good morning peeps! Just got out of bed while resisting the urge to get back under the cozy sheets. Do you know that feeling when the room is still under shadow, the bed so soft and everything is hush and cool? It’s mornings like these that make you want to sleep in. Nonetheless, the alarm […]
Apple Rosemary Peanut Butter Breakfast Toast
Hey peeps! What a lovely morning! I have had zero energy to get out of bed these past few days since I’ve been feeling under the weather (nope, not covid). As much as I love cooking and trying new recipes, today was just not the time to bust out the pan and get physical. Thus, […]

My thought process when developing new recipes is very similar to a crazy rollercoaster. It first starts with an idea, let’s call him Lil’ Joe. Usually, Lil’ Joe comes […]
Nutella Swirled Roasted Banana Bread
Doesn’t that sound amazing! Nutella and banana are some of my favorite flavors to combine. My search for the best banana bread has fallen into staggeringly silly territory. Involving me staying up late at night contemplating on optimum banana ripeness or whether I should top my bread with crumble. If there’s anything I’ve learned from […]
Golden Pumpkin Spice Latte
There is something very soothing about holding a steaming hot mug in your hands as you sip away into absent minded bliss. Sometimes I like having warm drinks first thing in the morning. Allowing its warmth to seep into my body as I slowly wake up. Other times I have it in the afternoon as […]
Christmas Morning Apple French Toast Bake
I came across this idea by accident. My family and I were talking about Christmas food we definitely want this year (we want everything apparently) and I recalled how every Christmas morning we would wake up to either pancakes, waffles or french toast. Basically anything that could be slathered with maple syrup. This year I […]
Horchata Overnight Oats with Guimaras Mangoes
Currently writing amidst a storm. We had to close all our windows as the shutters were starting to shudder and some of the things were beginning to fly. With yesterday’s Halloween and today’s howling winds, the spooky factor is definitely still on. It’s comforting to be inside all bundled up with blankets and family and […]
