Apple Cinnamon Muffins

I took a break for a while from baking. It is quite hard for me with my big belly to go around the kitchen, reach for baking utensils in our cabinets, bend on my knees if I dropped something and whew, I find it very warm for my tummy each time I bake. I was grateful Royce was at home last weekend and helped me bake some goodies again. I guess he misses my baking. I had a couple of apples waiting in our fridge so I...

Pineapple Carrot Muffins

A couple of extra carrots, from my Fresh Vegetable Dip, were in the fridge. I pity them for not being consumed yet. Subsequently, I thought of taking them out, peeling them, grating them and baking them for Pineapple Carrot Muffins.  This is an improved version of the first Carrot Bread I posted. I usually do the baking around 5am and spend about an hour in the kitchen. I leave most of my baked goodies at home for...

Squash Bread

Feeding our kids with something healthier like vegetables and fruits is usually a fight scenario at homes and is such a hopeless mom’s mission to accomplish. Moms, like I, do some crazy ideas just to nosh my 3 year old son, Colby, with peas, broccoli or anything green like a spoon pretends to be an airplane to land on his tongue or hide bits of carrots under rice. Although lately, Colby seems to liken...

Jean’s Sandwich

Jean, one of my officemates, called me one afternoon to have a taste of the sandwich she prepared for our merienda. As soon as I came to her table, I saw 1 loaf of bread and a bowl of brownish thick spread. It was usual for me to see bread for merienda, especially when budget is ran out, but seeing the suggy, thick spread was an alien to my eyes. Being left with no choice, I took a pair of bread. Still my curiosity...

Brownies Delight

I was thrilled to have been visited by members from our Church who shared an inspiring message to my family. I thought it was a special day not only because they visited us for the first time since we moved to Bonuan but that day was also Father’s Day. And to mark that special occasion,  I cooked my all time favorite Spaghetti and baked a pan of Brownies. Again, spaghetti and brownies didn’t had a luck...

Choco Banana Muffins

Along with the oatmeal cookie that I prepared last Saturday, I also baked Choco Banana Muffins which were almost gone last Sunday after our Sacrament service, yet gladly I was some were left for my officemates to taste. Our ref never ran out of bananas since Jay, a friend of mine who have lost about 20 pounds in the period 6 months, warned me to stop my no daily breakfast regimen which causes lower blood sugar...

Carrot Bar

“What’s up, Doc?”, is a casual catchphrase usually being said by Bugs Bunny while standing and chewing a CARROT. When I was young, my mother would always tell us that we should be eating carrots, they help prevent cancer. Food on our tables with carrots are Pork Relleno, Chicken Pork Afritada, Soups and Salads. Carrots are typical ingredient in our dishes but unlike Bugs, I don’t find chewing a carrot my...
