Butterscotch and chocolate fudge combo brownies

I was baking at 5.30 a.m. so that the kids could bring brownies for their school recess. They have half-day classes for the entire week because of the mid-term exams. I spoil them rotten during exam days, you know, because I want them to eat well. I packed five brownies for each kid…

Grilled fish with two dipping sauces

You can serve your grilled fish with the usual soy sauce, kalamansi juice and chili peppers, or you can try a mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, salt, finely minced garlic and onion leaves. Try to get a few pieces of onion leaves with every bite of fish, they make all the difference.

Mint jelly for my waffles

Fact: Only I don’t pour syrup over my pancakes and waffles. My husband and daughters cannot eat pancakes and waffles without smothering them with syrup. I do, however, like to pile on fruit jam over my pancakes and waffles.

Tapsilog in the school lunchbox

I should have entitled this entry “What else can you do with sukiyaki-cut beef?” Yes, I used sukiyaki-cut beef to make tapa for the girl’s packed school lunches. Not the Spanish tapas but seasoned and fried beef cutlets that usually goes with egg and fried rice.

Fish head soup with coconut cream

When you hear the term “fish head soup”, the picture that forms in the mind is fish head in a clear broth with leafy green vegetables…But I’ve often dreamed of a fish head soup that was more filling, more robust and less ordinary. No clear broth with subtle hints of garlic and ginger but full-bodied and with a lot of bite in it. Chilis and coconut cream seemed like a great idea.

Puto (rice cakes) with itlog na maalat (salted duck egg)

Two days ago, my younger daughter, Alex, asked when I would make some puto again. I paused for a few seconds and realized that it’s been more than ten months since I last made puto…

Ox tongue with gravy

If you prefer the ox tongue (lengua) dish with mushroom sauce, you can click here and here. Personally, I am so tired of that recipe and that’s the reason I started experimenting. I was aiming for something not too different from the one with mushroom sauce because that’s the favorite of my daughter, Sam…

Gonuts Donuts cupcakes

My daughter Sam wanted to bring home a box of Krispy Kreme donuts… we couldn’t find Krispy Kreme in Global City anyway so my husband just drove to good ol’ Gonuts Donuts. Good thing that decision turned out to be… Gonuts Donuts started offering a cupcake line about two months ago.
