After a whirlwind NYC trip, we finally landed in Long Beach to see my bro and his family before heading back home. It was nice to finally spend time together, albeit too short really. We just had our final 4 days in LA. The plane ride was made significant by Jetblue - my super favorite of all the airlines we took coast-to-coast. Leather seats! Individual TV screens! Videocasts by Mark Bittman!

After a 9hour pleasant Amtrak ride, we arrive at about 10pm at the Penn Station (Madison Square) in the heart of Manhattan. Oh what a glorious feeling to finally be in the city I have always wanted to visit! Needless to say, we got out of the station into the street with me grinning from ear to ear.New York is what I expected and more. We spent 6 days in the city, yet felt like we just did a

Heading East this time, we made a quick layover in Atlanta Georgia, before heading on to our next destination - Niagara Falls! Landing in Buffalo, we took a 30 minute bus ride to the town of Niagara passing thru the city of Buffalo. Perhaps because it was a Sunday, I found Buffallo to be such a quiet city - I just cant beleive this is just a few hours away from NYC! Anyway, it was off to one of

I can never leave California without making a quick post on Half Moon Bay, a delightful little town 30 miles south of San Francisco where we were taken by our hosts on our last day before flying east. After a scenic drive along the Pacific Coast when we actually slept from the exhaustion of the night before, we passed some pumpkin patches, a first for me! Apparently a pumpkin festival is in the

Of all the places we visited, San Francisco is perhaps the place where it would be so ideal to settle if we ever do decide to go that road. I can't get over how pretty the whole city is, just driving around is just so appealingly pleasant.We were spoiled from Day1, as we were gifted with lots of different cheeses (aged cheddar, blue cheese, triple cream!) by Em's cousin who happens to be a

Our vacation started with a smooth landing in Los Angeles, and what follows are memories both Em and I are still giddy about. Three weeks of walking, eating, sightseeing can leave one's pockets bleeding, but it was so worth it we are already planning next year's trip, with the Little Bee this time around.LA is great, but for now we are staying for just a night before heading to Las Vegas where

A few food reminds so much of comfort and home to most people than spaghetti. It is a kiddie party favorite, a comfort to eat when you just want to lounge around, a great comfortingly familiar dish to share with your girlfriends and a festive lunch to share on a Sunday with your family. From a simply bolognese, we slowly gravitated to large meatballs - which is great since as simple as it is

Considering that bananas are so abundant here, I've never really ventured much into incorporating it in my baked goods. Oftentimes, I just become too obssessed with securing harder-to-find ingredients or taking advantage of seasonal fruits that I overloook this always-reliable fruit! Silly me, coz bananas are so versatile, yummy and so flexi you can use it in almost everything! Banana shake?

I have been tagged by the lovely Stella of Sweet Temptations for this MEME. I am most flattered, but I gotta tell you - I have not made too much friends yet in the blogosphere that I feel weird about tagging anyone. So anyone who wants to do their own, please do so!

Here is another recipe which I immediately baked when I got home from work after reading another favorite blogger wax poetics about it. Reading her blog almost seems like reading poetry, I love it! Sometimes when Im at work and I'd get a chance to have a sneak peek at some food blogs, I get a strong craving to go home and immediately try the recipes!

My sister is an avid magazine collector having started with fashion magazines and after she got married, have been obsessed with interior-design magazines.

After a particularly hectic, stressful week, all I just wanted to do was savor every minute of the weekend either by lounging around, visiting family, and baking a particularly easy dessert. The whole saturday afternoon went by with me just in front of the tv and doing absolutely nothing - a rarity these days and I just wanted to relish every moment of it!

Preparing for Sunday lunch is always a delight, it's the only time I know the whole family is complete thereby making sure EVERYONE is bound to eat what I cook. That way, when you cook up a great meal, you get tons of compliments! What's cooking anyway, if no one is around to savor what you labored so lovingly for? Browsing through my back issues of Gourmet magazine, I chanced upon this recipe

Jams are not a childhood favorite. I must admit I was more partial and still am to peanut butter, nutella, even chiz whiz. The famed strawberry jams of Baguio, the only place where it can be grown in the Philippines, are much sought after. Even I hoard it even though it takes us months and months to finish it in the house. Although I occasionally indulge in it, I find it a bit too cloyingly

My very first cheesecake! With blueberries to boot. It was wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! And I really cant say that enough. Im quite picky when eating cheesecakes, and I can tell if ingredients were scrimped if it has jelly-like consistensies (substituting cream cheese to gelatine?) For me, its the real deal or none at all, most especially where cheesecakes are concerned.This recipe is such a

With the blueberries waiting to be used in the ref, I excitedly put out my copy of the sexy Nigella Lawson's How To Be A Domestic Goddess and chose between making a trifle or a muffin. The muffin won over as I lacked some of the ingredients of the trifle. These were great, and a good start for this Nigella-wannabe. As my copy is fairly new, this is the very first recipe from the book that I

The weather has been pretty balmy the past two weeks, it has been very pleasant outdoors at about 20 degrees temp instead of our usual 32. Nights are so comfy and we always find it hard to wake up in the morning as our pillows are so irresistibly huggable! Strawberries from up north are finding its way to the markets, but I was still amazed to see blueberries on sale! This is really the first

In an attempt to produce more baked goods over the holidays for gifts, I reached for the first interesting recipe I saw which seemed easy and quite different. The tiny little word 'flourless' appealed to me in this recipe as well as the fact that peanut butter remains to be a favorite. I should tell you though, that (horrors!)

Christmas is just around the corner, and I feel like its passing me by. The past weeks have been so frantic that I didnt realize I was behind with my gift-shopping until its already the Little Bee's start of Chistmas break. I suddenly bolted to reality when I still didnt have gifts for her teachers. And since I vowed to give homemade food-gifts this year, I set out to do the task ahead. So last

It's the first time Im tasting this much-talked about confection, which is considered the Rolls-Royce of chocolates.

Guyabano is also known as soursop or guanabana. It is a delish fruit that grows only in the tropics. Its green leathery spiky skin belies the white fleshy pulp that lies within, at once sour and sweet. Having seen a Mangosteen Jam available in the market, I thought a guyabano might make a wonderful jam too - knowing that its is fleshier than mangosteen. I was wandering through the market early

Plum crumble is one of the favorite things I like to bake. The gurgling redness of the baked plums is so irresistibly attractive and yumm. I also trick myself into thinking it is a healthy dessert, being fruit based and baked. Add to that it is so incredibly easy to make, with very little washing to do after. I brought this to a potluck Christmas party with friends I have known all my life.

It may be a granola alright, but definitely not a granola bar/square. With Em buying so much of the expensive Quaker Granola Bar in an attempt to munch on healthy snacks in the office, I decided to make a healthier, less expensive version. Not much success though, as you would have guessed by now based on the pic. While it tasted great, even better than the commercial ones if I may say so myself

Sometimes called 'kaki' or 'caqui' in Spanish, persimmon is a fruit that grows only 3 months in a year. Seems this is the time of the year, and so several fruit vendors are now carrying it in the markets. This is not common in the Philippines, and I first saw this in a roadside while walking in the streets of Hong Kong two years ago. Today, Manila's markets are vibrant with different fruits and

These are just some photos I took inside a favorite deli. There are rows and rows of different kinds of olives, olive oil, spanish sardines, a whole stand devoted to cheese (parmigiana-reggiano included!), blood sausages, jamon serranos. Wow, it was dizzying - in a good kind of way. In the end, I bought some durrum wheat pasta shaped like alphabets for the Little Bee, and some spanish sardines.

Two sections of 4-year olds feasted on these cute little things. I was a bit paranoid baking my own to feed the little mouths, so I was very strict on hygiene more than ever. I dont ever want to encounter

I hope to be able to post regularly from here on, as I got myself access to a camera. Im still learning the ropes though. Meanwhile, Im busying myself prepping for the Bee's bday kinder class party - and I'll be taking pics.

Work+extra work had been keeping me from cooking and baking the past weeks. Seeing however that my cream cheese was expiring, I made a fresh batch of cupcake frostings even if I still don't know when Im finally be able to bake cupcakes again. I've kept it in the freezer, and of course I also want to see how it will turn out thawed instead of freshly made. Experiments of sorts for when I

Ive always wanted to make granola, seeing that the recipes seem easy-peasy. This is a great breakfast fare, and a great munch-on while slaving away in front of the TV. It's just so addicting! It isn't everyday that I come across something so good yet so healthy. Im encouraging the little Bee to snack on it, instead of her usual Oreos and Ritzs. This recipe is from marketmanila.com with a few

Inspired by cupcake pics from chokylit, I embarked on my own cupcake journey with mixed results. Since my Sunbeam mixer (which was a hand-me-down from my Mom) conked out on me several times, I splurged on a new one last weekend hoping that it would as well be on sale just like the rest of the stores in the mall. Turned out it isnt, but I splurged nonetheless. I got a 3D with stand and bowl and

I was introduced to lentis some six years ago but didnt know how to cook it. I remember Em bringing a pack to the house and asking me to cook it, as it was one of his favorites, and still is. My first foray with lentils was a disaster, turned out it is cooked like mongo beans (I didnt know how to cook mongo at that time either). Yes, Im a late bloomer in the kitchen. Now I consider myself an

I was browsing through the vegetable aisle of the grocery and chanced upon bunches of spinach (Baguio variety) . Now this is really rare and I figured maybe because its summer that the produce section is vibrant these days. Imported varieties I heard are so expensive that it reaches P650 per kilo. This one I only got for P37 for maybe 1/4 kilo. I have some leftover lasagna noddles at home, so I

I had a most satisfying lunch today, thanks to a newly opened food outlet in my office building. It's basically just Caesar Salad but with a combo of Chicken Caesar Sandwich - Caesar Salad with Chicken strips sandwiched between three wheat breads (how innovative!). It's actually filling, but it remains to be seen whether my tummy wont be grumbling with six hours still to go before dinner.Last

We had some leftover blue cheese that frankly was fast rotting in the ref, and so I felt compelled to finish it off to make sure it will not see another light of day (that sounds not a bit appetizing:) Other than eating it with crackers, and once topping it in mini pizza - I didn't really know what else to do with it. So anyway, last night I rushed home from work and attacked the stinky thing. I

It's been a while since I've contemplated starting this, but for one reason or another have put it off til now. I hope to bring here my kitchen adventures, or food musings in restaurants. Oops, now i remember why I put it off too long - I need a good digicam!
