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 […]

Ginger Cookie Banana Nice Cream Sandwiches
Currently typing up this post with one hand since I accidentally burnt my other one pouring boiling water. I know. Silly me! Thankfully, the burn is not too severe and google articles came to the rescue. Meanwhile, I’m glad that today’s recipe involves something frosty making it all the much easier for my hand to […]
Giant Peppermint Double Chocolate Fudge Cookies
Christmas is just around the corner and it’s made itself evident all over my household. It’s tradition for my family to make apple pie during this time of the year so the house continually smells like butter, cinnamon and stewed apples. Meanwhile, our tiny stereo in the living room has been humming festive songs at […]
Purple Ube Pie with Coconut Whipped Cream
I know. I admit it. I’m a bit late joining the ube party. Despite growing up with ube as a common ingredient (think ube chiffon cake in every birthday party and ube ice cream on every street corner), I just wasn’t very fond of it. It was only when I got older and tasted some […]
Christmas Sugar Cookies + How to Paint Watercolor Cookies
There is always a faint trace of wonder in the air during the holidays. It could be the fairy lights that are so often strung up on every corner or the Christmas music that drifts from the store windows. Or is it farther in the shops? With the busy chatter of people moving to and […]

Soft Baked, Thick and Chewy Gingerbread Cookies
Hi there! I have to be honest with you and say gingerbread has a bad rep for me. The only gingerbread cookies I’ve tried have been all dry, crumbly and pasty. The type that tends to stick to the roof of your mouth. Not exactly a joy to eat. So I decided to make my […]
Molten Chocolate Espresso Hot Fudge Cake
The holidays are upon us! Although, this year will definitely be unique from our past celebrations. It will be still be a time of thanksgiving, joy and well…celebration. I think after everything that has happened this year we all need a bit of festivity and lightheartedness. And I’m starting with cake. After all, “a party […]
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 […]
Banana Brioche Babka with Chocolate Hazelnut
Hi there! I’ve been in a pensive mood lately and not sure exactly why. I just came from watching the Minimalism documentary on Netflix and it really opens your eyes to the way values have changed over the years. It’s even more alarming when you realize that you see and experience these changes all around […]
