Chickpea Salad

I have yet to discover where the chickpea salad originated from but all I know is that it is now one of my favorite no-cook recipes. It is so easy that it definitely is a no brainer recipe. Obviously it is a healthy meal that is packed with protein just enough for my fitness enthusiast friends. Ingredients:…

Home Made Salsa

After two years of hiatus, I finally got the time and source to finish my long over due entries. I have several recipes pending for sharing hence I would like to start with the easy one. Salsa, I enjoy serving this to Mom and my friends back in Manila on our all do nothing days…

Crispy Pork and Tofu in Soy Sauce

Just sharing a damnable recipe I love to prepare once in a while. Damnable? Yes! Damnable in a way that it’s SO good and yet it’s SO bad! Aside from its very tedious preparation (which is worth it!) its nutritional value is something I will not recommend to my Mom who is diabetic and hypertensive as it…

Ratatouille

  Whenever I see this animated film on TV, I get so curious and fascinated by its title. I always wonder how it tastes, smells and looks like in the REAL world. One Sunday morning, I decided to research some recipes of it as I have never really been able to taste one in any restaurants…

Watermelon and Strawberry Mint Smoothie

I have done several articles on this blog in the past describing how much I adore watermelons. So I want to share another thirst quencher relating the watermelon and another fruit which I’m not so keen of BUT I always feel happy whenever I see it! lol. I don’t know.. There’s something about strawberries that it…

Mocha Smoothie

Manila!!! Here we go again with our summer! This means sleepless nights (at least for students who are now on vacation), beach and cold drinks! For those not going anywhere or just doing a staycation at home, don’t fret! Grab a book you have yet to finish reading or upgrade your COC all summer! Lol….

Breaded Herb Chicken

I was terribly sick sometime last year, was out of the office for almost a week and to top if off, I was home alone. Mom was back in her hometown, a 1hr and 45mins flight from Manila, for the family reunion. It was difficult time because no one else was home to cook for me so…

Cheesy Penne Alle Vongole

There was this one day when mom steamed some clams for her lunch, when I got home that evening there were some steamed clams left in the fridge. I really am not a fan of steamed clams so I asked her if I can somehow turn it into something I will enjoy eating…. Pasta! lol….
