French toast in 3 steps
When I made some French toasts for breakfast a few days ago and took so much pain taking photos, I did wonder what I was going to do with all the photos. I was sure I have more than one French toast entry in my blog but I took the photos just the same. I’m glad I did. I scanned my archives and it turned out that although I have three French toast recipes, I don’t have any entry with the basic recipe. What I do have are the cinnamon-flavored French toast and two rather fancy variations — the ones stuffed with cheese and ham and another which is a variation of the classic Monte Cristo sandwich.

Coffee jelly dessert
I don’t know why… but coffee jelly seems to be the craze these days. Fastfoods and restaurants alike have it in their menus. Wendy’s, I think, was the first fastfood to serve coffee jelly.

We have also realized that it is best to chill the cream [...]

Mango Royale
My friend Melissa’s recipe. So good we’re getting addicted to it. We have tried the basic recipe with strawberry halves but nothing beats Philippine mangoes. Luscious, juicy, sweet. We’ve been having mango royale for dessert practically every other day. After I finally said, “Enough!”, friends came over and brought a huge tray of the stuff. [...]

Choco-mocha-cinnamon pudding
Plump raisins were stirred into this creamy pudding flavored with cocoa, coffee and cinnamon and topped with buttery syrup.
We’ve been having stormy weather for the past three days. Some areas have been badly hit and residents have been evacuated. Our city was not in the direct path of the storm so it was mostly just [...]
