I love burgers, that's it. That's the tweet. LOLJK--but no really, I'm not very fond of meat whether it be pork or beef but I do have my favorites, one of which is a fat, juicy, thicc-ass burger. I almost always just get takeout or delivery because despite knowing how to make one, it's insanely laborious to have to go through everything and...
Hey, everyone. Happy new year! I want to start off the year by making sure I update this blog as often as I can which I think is the nth resolution I've done for my tiny space on the internet lol. Anyway, I know I haven't been posting a lot of recipes but I'm baaaaack with a whole lot because I just transferred...
Ever since I quit smoking, I've gained a tremendous amount of weight. I would momentarily try to shed some of it off but for some reason, my diets and detoxes aren't as effective compared to when I was smoking. Not sure if nicotine plays a huge role in weight loss or it's just my body slowing its metabolism down. Eitherway, from 45kgs, I'm...
Hey, everyone! I’ve been on a roll both here and on Youtube and I decided to also start cooking again. Damn, quitting smoking seems to have kicked in something really good for me. I hope this lasts though cause I get days where I really just want a puff. Hope this goes away soon. Anyway, today I’ll be sharing a go-to recipe I...
I've mentioned several times on Twitter and I'm saying it again here, cooking Adobo is not an easy chore. And you know, for a dish that gets cooked in almost every household on a daily basis, shouldn't this be as easy as cooking any type of Sinigang?? You'd think huh, but not for me. I've been cooking Adobo since I learned how to...
I'm finally finished with my Conquering Cebu series! Before I resume my travel posts, let me just squeeze one recipe into the queue so I don't forget that this is a food AND travel blog, lol. I've always wanted to make a video out of my recipes. But my kitchen has really bad lighting, and I don't have a camera man to-go. I...
I haven't capped 2015 off but here I am endlessly posting about my food adventures. I've been spending my 2016 scouring for the latest all-you-can-eat buffets, or cooking up something relatively new to excite my palate. The prodigal daughter is also returning to her kitchen. I've been experimenting on different ingredients as of late to expand the variety of taste I'm accustomed to. ...
I'm a huge fan of those short recipe videos on Facebook that don't require you to go to a freaking Youtube page to watch the video. You just press play and voila, you get access to awesome, quick and easy recipes. Sometimes I find myself watching one video and telling myself I'd sleep after that short clip. Fast-forward to 3 hours later, I'm...
Whenever I'm in a rut and can't be bothered to even cook my own meal, I always resort to canned stuff x something healthy in my pantry. Which is pretty much how last week looked like. I experienced terrible migraines after work. don't know what or who to blame, work or this horrible alternating weather. One minute it feels like you're on a...
Can I just breathe and finally say, yay because it's the freakin' weekend! And after a day, it'll be Monday again--woohoo work! NOT! Work was really toxic this week. Thinking about the food that I'll whip up the next day kept me motivated from Monday until Friday. Oh, I also have my monthly visitor! Isn't that just great? UGHHHH. Bad vibes aside, I...
Hi, everyone! How are you guys doing? Work is pretty hectic so I thought of squeezing in a not-so-new recipe as a reward for making it halfway through the week, yay! During the weekend, the boyfriend requested for Adobo. Since it was a weekend and we can splurge on rice all we want (thank cheezus for cheat days!), I gave in. Adobo is...
It's a day before Christmas and here I am, still sick from last week's workload. I had to overwork myself last week so I can afford to be on leave for 2 weeks, major YAY! Last week may be tiring but I have 2 full weeks ahead of me--to slack off, sleep, eat and just do anything non-work related. Weeeeh! For today, I'll...
I haven't shared a recipe for quite some time now, I've been too lazy to cook because my body has been too fucked up too function. I have been changing my shift at work on a weekly basis, and I can't really say I have fully adjusted. I'm quite surprised I actually had the time to edit photos and post them on the...
Hello! First off, I'm hoping everyone's high and dry as of this writing. The rain has been crazy! I was on holiday yesterday (Quezon City day) and I missed work today because of this evil rain/typhoon/monsoon! According to weather forecasts, we're expecting rain until Thursday--I'm hoping though that everyone's still safe by then. I'm supposed to come back from that mini hiatus with...
Before Pesto, my all time favorite pasta was Spaghetti. Yeah, I know. Boring and shit. When I went to Baguio for college and discovered Pizza Volante, I eventually fell in love with Pesto. I mean who wouldn't? Have you seen how pretty and simple their pesto is? I've tried to recreate the kind of pesto that they have but failed too many times,...
A couple of weeks ago, the boyf and I went to our first 'real' grocery shopping. I did the meal planning and he did the paying--it was a shared effort, really. LOL. On our way to eating and living healthier, we actually hit 3 birds with one stone. We would take meals in the office instead of buying in the office pantry. I...
Ola! I'm not Spanish in any way, I just love using that greeting. Meh. For today's post, I'd like to formally introduce a new category on my blog, 'Kitchen Chronicles'! I'll be sharing recipes and my kitchen adventures! I just want to over share and go all out, the boyf and I not so formally moved together (This I will share in another...
When I was in College, I'd spend more money on alcohol than on real food. Not because I'm an alcoholic but because studying in Baguio + alcohol = perfect combination.I'm not saying you should do it too, you know. I'm just saying that because of it, I learned to save my money and be creative with food, just because I had to spend...
I'm not an expert when it comes to the art of cooking but I quite know my way around the kitchen because our Mom raised us well, made sure that we knew how to cook if in any case we happen to suffer a Zombie Apocalypse or be alive to witness the "end of the world". Some weeks ago when the lover was...
