Fussili with Bacon, Pesto and Sun-Dried Tomatoes

09.12.2016 by Leah // 2 Comments

You all know that I love the the combination of pesto + bacon in a pasta dish.  You can back read on the pasta recipes I've featured in the blog and you will find that these ingredients have been reused so often, hehe! That's because everyone who have tried my pesto bacon pasta think that it is a great meal.  There's a lot of flavors going on in this dish and of course, who ... READ MORE

Happy 2015! How did your New Year celebration go?  AJ and I chose to spend it at home as usual (after dinner at my parents's house) and we celebrated the New Year with our homemade Chocolate Ganache Tart with Caramelized Apples on the side.  I posted a picture of this sweet ending to our fab 2014 over at my Instagram account (follow me @dbrightspot).

#MerryCremas2014 with Alaska Crema

12.23.2014 by Leah // Leave a Comment

Like in the past years, I shopped for Christmas gifts as early as September, and wrapped everything by November (well, almost!) so that when December kicked in, I only have to busy myself filling our weekend calendars with get-togethers, while experimenting in the kitchen for new dishes to serve during our family’s Christmas and New Year celebrations. So when Alaska invited ... READ MORE

Baked Creamy Mushroom Chicken

01.31.2014 by Leah // 2 Comments

It's been a while since I shared a Saladmaster recipe.  In case you don't know yet, I partnered up with my sis-in-law Juvvy 2 years ago so we can buy a Saladmaster cooking set for ourselves.   The set was a very expensive one, but we managed to fit it into our budgets by splitting the items in the set, thus splitting the cost too.  We got 3 items each.  Since then, I've been ...

Roasted Chicken Stuffed with Cream of Mushroom

12.30.2013 by Leah // 22 Comments

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
