Celebrating Each Day with Good Food
It’s officially summer in the Philippines! Meaning the days are longer and walking anytime before 4pm is a death sentence. On the other hand, it’s the best time to go out of town. Visit the falls or beach that you’ve been wanting to go to or hike with friends to a tricky mountain. These Flaky […]
It’s been a long day at work and I’ve been in need of intense r&r. I initially planned on making these cookies to celebrate Valentine’s Day but I’m glad I found time to do them over the weekend. These cookies took me back to why I love baking so much. Part destress and part creativity. […]
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 […]
Happy new year everyone! And what a start! My goal is to have more slow moments this year. 2022 was incredibly fast paced and it left me out of breath. Now that we’ve arrived at January, I feel a nudge to shift to more mindful living. Although, only time will tell if that will last […]
If you’ve been around here for a while, you know that I love citrus in all its springy, tangy glory. Like in this perfect crunchy calamansi glaze or in this herby lemon focaccia. Somehow, eating something citrusy always puts me in a good mood as if the sun just shines a little brighter on those […]
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 […]
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, […]
Is it just me or are the days starting to blur together seemingly in a never ending cycle of drudgery. Don’t get me wrong! There are benefits to staying at home and having a lot of downtime with my family. Yet, a part of me longs to see people, go places and experience something different. […]
These Small Batch Strawberry Burst Pop Tarts have been on my mind for some time now and I’m so happy to see it come together today! 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 […]
There’s something very charming about madeleines. Maybe it’s their petite size or the ever recognizable seashell shape. Many beginner bakers find them to be quite daunting when in fact, this couldn’t be farther from the truth. Madeleines are one of the easiest génoises you can make. Basically, the pan does all the work for you […]
