THE BRIGHT SPOT

Food. Travel. Bargain finds. Random thoughts. A bright spot for sharing ideas and starting conversations!

Dark Chocolate Cake with Coffee Cream Filling and Dark Chocolate Ganache

01.14.2014 by Leah //

A lovely Tuesday to y'all! Now that our ants problem is gone (as in totally; there are no more ants in our kitchen counter top, yey!), we can talk about something sweet! Today's post is written by the hubby, AJ, who is more than happy to share with you  this simple chocolate cake that we made last December and became the "Star of our Noche Buena". But before you ...

My Holiday Feast

01.02.2014 by Leah //

Happy New Year, dear readers! I just reported back to work today (after taking a 2-week holiday vacation) and was relieved to find my In-tray to be still visible (meaning, it's not swamped with memos and other paperworks).  I had no problems getting my work groove back because I've rested well during my vacation, and I think a lot of people are still on holiday break so ...

Roasted Chicken Stuffed with Cream of Mushroom

12.30.2013 by Leah //

Here's a very easy recipe for roasted chicken that you can try for your Media Noche tomorrow.  It is adopted from the recipe of the same title that I found while browsing through the Assumption Cookbook (Pearl Edition), prepared by the High School Class of '79. Two (2) things love about this roasted chicken recipe:  (1) you need only 4 ingredients to prepare it, and (2) no ... READ MORE

Food Post: Uno Restaurant

12.20.2013 by Leah //

Because we rarely find ourselves in Quezon City (or simply 'QC'), AJ and I are not very familiar with the restaurants to try there.  The last time we ventured QC just to try a new restaurant was last year, with Crazy Katsu (read my food review here). Thus, on the day we watched the matinee of Maxie (The Musicale) 2 Saturdays ago, we left Makati earlier than usual so we can ... READ MORE

The Christmas Sweets Basket

12.19.2013 by Leah //

I was full of high spirits yesterday after receiving wonderful feedbacks from Patty, Dahlia and Vee about the Christmas Sweets Baskets they won, courtesy of Eve's Sweets & Cakes. Then I realized that I haven't shown you yet what's inside the basket! I just opened mine this morning, and even I was surprised to find the goods overflowing!  So unlike the other gift ...

A New TGI Fridays Opens at Greenbelt 3

12.10.2013 by Leah //

I have always been fascinated with restaurant interiors.  As you have probably noticed in my previous food posts, I do not only feature pictures of the food we enjoyed (or not, hehe) but I also share pictures of the restaurant's interiors to make you feel the "vibe" of the place as well. I am usually drawn to restaurants with fashionable and cozy interiors.  They create warm ... READ MORE

Peppermint Chocolate Cookies {and a Christmas Give Away!}

12.08.2013 by Leah //

I'm so excited to share with you this first cookie collab (short for collaboration)  between The Bright Spot and Eirene of Eve's Cakes & Sweets which is just perfect for the season. If you love chocolates and peppermint, then you will surely love these Peppermint Chocolate Cookies that she made for The Bright Spot! I chose peppermint to go with chocolate, not nuts ... READ MORE
