From leftovers to hearty breakfast
The morning of January 1st(around 8am), I was able to gather a handful of side dish leftovers that has nowhere to go. I feel there “what about me?” cries as the ham, roast turkey and such gets to be reheated with no trouble. So here’s what I made a vegetable and chicken omelet…

Last Saturday Night

It was a break-away from the flooding array of calamansi based or soy sauce based instant pansit cantons in the market. Although of course for the…

Old Style Hot Chocolate
When I was younger during our short Christmas vacations in Iloilo, thickened table a is an early morning staple. By the time we wake up at around 4.30 am to 5 am, its heavy and beckoning smell surrounds the kitchen and slowly makes its way in our rooms. Back then, my childhood tablea…
Apple Fritter
A couple or so weeks ago I happened to catch an episode of Giada at Home where she made apple fritters (among others). This reminded of an elaborately done similar recipe I found in my copy Yummy magazine. The one in Yummy asks for egg, nutmeg, milk salt and an optional cinnamon sugar…
