I've been extra busy so I haven't been able to post much and experiment much on food lately. This is just a quick post and view on what one can come up with for breakfast. Since May of last year, I have decided to not skip breakfast and make it my main meal of the day. This was primarily because I read somewhere that eating breakfast will jumpstart one's metabolism and help you avoid

 I'm not a big fan of street food because I have a somehow sensitive stomach. I would occasionally end up having an upset tummy but thankfully I didn't have one when I tried this. I was in desperate need for a cool place to stay in because the library was closed on that day so I went out of our school and explored around the area. I passed by this stall while I was looking for a place to

I'm blessed to have people around me who love food and who love to check out food from various cultures. One of the restaurants that I love going to is Bavaria in Iloilo City. It's located at the ground floor of Nagarao Pension House in Jaro, Iloilo City. Bavaria serves German cuisine and the ambiance of their place gives you that rustic feel. The dishes that I really enjoy from

I can just imagine hearing people say, 'Eew! Carbs!' with the sight of this (lol!). I'm glad I'm one of those who are quite blessed with a very fast metabolism. It has its downsides though. For one, it can get expensive when I eat a lot because I get hungry quicker than usual people. Another disadvantage is that I have the tendency to become a bit of a hyperactive and people around me would

  I'm a sucker for anything vanilla so I was so thrilled when I got this present from my special someone's Mom last October, around the third or second week I guess (You'll get later why I mentioned the date when I got this). Aside from being a vanilla lover, I am a tea lover as well. I'm more of a tea-person than a coffee-person (I love coffee sometimes too but I just find tea healthier

Now these are not things that I made myself but as you can see it's from a local restaurant and bakeshop chain here in Iloilo City. I love light flavored pastries and desserts so I prefer them most of the time than chocolate or other rich-flavored ones. I came across this delicious dessert when I had this craving for something sweet. Since their shop is just a few minutes away from my workplace,

Eggplant and Tomato Pasta I've been craving for pasta these past few days but I didn't want to spend too much money and effort in making one so I looked for some recipes online. I came across a recipe for eggplant lasagna but since we don't have an oven in our office dorm, I decided to just make the eggplant and tomato sauce and choose a pasta that's quick and easy to cook. Angel hair is

Ham and Cucumber Ciabatta Sandwich This is one of the quickest meals that I can make in the morning before I head to school. Sandwiches are really easy to make and can be healthy depending on what you put in it. I brought these to school today for my lunch.There's a bit of protein, carbs, and veggie so I think it's healthy. (Back me up on this please... Haha!) I'd be experimenting more

Herby Adobo Adobo is one of the dishes that I like cooking not just because it is tasty but because it is easy to cook and it stores longer than other dishes. I'm currently trying to manage my time well between work, school and social life so I need to be creative and resourceful with my meals. I need to make sure that my meals are still healthy. So probably in the next few posts, I'll be

Local Cherries or Calumpit Saw these in the market today. I got curious so I bought them. The vendor said they are called 'Local Cherries'. They are quite sour with a bit of a sweet and a little weird aftertaste.When I looked them up online, I discovered that it's called 'Calumpit/Kalumpit'. They were really cheap. I bought Php20.00 worth of these and gave some to friends. This amount (in

Chicken with Lemon and Ginger Sauce Another chicken dish. When I was not yet allergic to chicken, I loved cooking with chicken breast fillets. I heard it's healthy and it really cooks fast. I also love the taste of ginger and lemon (I love the tea as well). I thought of this dish while walking through the condiments aisle of a supermarket. I saw the instant lemon sauce and then my hand just

   I'm sharing what I made for our family's Christmas dinner last December 2011. Instead of using the typical Graham crackers/biscuits, I used white bread. Ingredients used: All-purpose cream  Sweetened condensed milk Sliced white bread (crusts removed) Ripe mangoes (sliced thinly) Cinnamon powder (optional) What I did: I mixed the cream and sweet condensed milk in a

My first post! ^_^ I decided to make this blog because I saw loads of pictures of the food experiments that I've done and I wanted to share them. I'm a picky eater, mostly because of my food allergies, but that doesn't mean I can't be a foodie, right? Way back 2011, I wasn't allergic to chicken yet so this post is to reminisce those days when I enjoyed eating chicken without having to worry

I had a great experience at this cafe with my friend who I was doing 121 with at the time. She actually introduced me to this place and she ended up being shocked after seeing how much I can eat. We have a term for this among my circle of friends. It's called PBBL which stands for Pusong Babae, Bitukang Lalake which translates to someone with a woman's heart but with a man's capacity to eat
