Who turns down an invitation to a baking workshop? Definitely NOT ME! I was like a little kid who could barely sleep the night before the Basic Cakes workshop at Feed 5000 Kitchen Studio. That was how excited I was to go. I’ve been to baking classes before and if there’s one thing I know about going to actual baking classes is that you learn so many baking tips and tricks you’ll never learn following recipe books and blogs. Chef Joy Biado Roxas of Sinful Sweets by Joy was in charge of the class, and between her and Feed 5000 owner and director, Chef […]
The Chocomaltee goodness of Milo in Milo Dino
I received a couple of innovative ideas in my email on how to enjoy the chocomaltee goodness of Milo. I love these ideas that I can turn into activities I can do with my kids. It’s part of our home school, and it certainly falls under “food science” category. The best part is that its easy enough for my 4-year old to make. Since Jay took the rest of the afternoon off on Sunday to be with me on our 11th year anniversary, we decided to try Milo Dino with our kids for our afternoon treat. I gave them all mason jars to use and proceeded on reading to […]

She must have known her foodie friends would most likely ask her for the recipe that she posted the ingredients along with the photo, and boy! Am I glad she did. She hit me right in the heart with two words — toasted garlic! Here’s how Miel’s TapSaLog looks like: I don’t normally feature my friends’ food photos on my blog without a very good reason. You see, mine turned out to […]
Easy Recipes: Baked chicken breast with cheesy greens on the side
Before we start cooking chicken breast, let me ask you this: What’s your plan this Valentine’s day? I’m making a suggestion here. For some people, going out on Valentine’s day may not be in the budget, and honestly, that’s okay. Most of the dates Jay and I have happen right here in our home. Why? Well, sometimes, it’s just too pricey. Before you start DM-ing me affordable romantic places to go to, let me assure you, I have already bookmarked them all. You have to understand, we don’t have a full time nanny so we either go on our dates with three junior chaperones […]
Easy Recipes: No-brainer chicken pizza for kids
I just blogged about my first time to cook lasagna, I didn’t think anyone would be interested with the pizza, but a handful of people seemed to be. So, I decided to share how I prepared the chicken pizza I served the kids for our New Year’s eve meal. Using chicken for the pizza was actually accidental. I forgot to get pepperoni from the supermarket, and when I checked the refrigerator, I found chicken. Fortunately for me, the kids loved it! So, enough of me blabbing, here’s how you can make chicken pizza for your kids! Chicken Pizza Recipe Thin crust store-bought pizza dough […]
