We finally baked our first batch of cookies, and it was a big success! It took us a while to try baking cookies because we do not have an electric mixer at all. Thanks to this expiring gift certificate worth P1,000 from Anson's Appliance Store (which came with the TV we purchased 2 years ago), we were able to buy ourselves a Moulinex Principio Hand Mixer. So we tried ... READ MORE
Happy Trick or Treat!
Happy Halloween, everyone! And because it's trick or treat time, I'm gonna share with you how our own trick or treat at the office went yesterday. While most of the departments in our big office opted to entertain the kids with their haunting Halloween decors, ours decided that there'll be no spooky decors at all; and that we will be having a candy bar or candy buffet, ...

Yummy Eats 2013: An Unforgettable Feast
Thanks again to Nuffnang Philippines, I got to know about Yummy Eats 2013, a one-day eating and cooking affair held at the NBC Tent last Saturday, and is sponsored by Yummy Magazine, my favorite food magazine. I went with AJ and my cousin, Mae Anne, and we were "virgins" to this kind of affair. It's an eating fair but we didn't expect it to be such as a big eating ... READ MORE

Munchies (noun, plural of munchie). A snack or small item of food. A sudden strong desire for food. Do you love munchies?

That means our pantry cabinet and ... READ MORE

The blog reader turned out to be Miles, who is a co-W@Wie (she's a member of Weddings at Work or W@W in which I was a former member) and whose wedding blog I used to read. Her big day is ...

Tea Cookies, anyone?
My good friend Denise (we've been friends since college) has discovered the love for cooking and baking. She's especially good with cookies and I was very happy to learn that she has started selling cookies to friends this Christmas, and has even come up with a cute name for her business: Kitchentales. Tea cookies are her specialty and these are no ordinary cookies taken ... READ MORE
Sweet Gifts for Christmas
Christmas is that time of the year where we receive the most number of C's - cookies, cakes, chocolates and candies. All sweet food! And we love receiving them, right? Unfortunately for me, I am not a sweet-tooth person but I do crave for one once in a while. On the other hand, AJ loves sweets. But I do appreciate good dessert food (as long as it's not sugary sweet) ... READ MORE
Magic’s Creamy Cheez Roundwich
I discovered this new snack from my officemate and I'm now addicted to it! The creamy cheese filling is very rich and with saturated fat of 30% (that's according to the nutrition facts printed at the back), it's not good for dieting ladies! Nonetheless, I love it and I could finish one whole pocket in one sitting. Yikes! Try it! It's perfect with a cold ... READ MORE
