THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Ebelskivers

12.28.2013 by Leah //

We had homemade Danish Ebelskivers last week, which we enjoyed very much because they tasted like pancakes but are much more solid and filling. Interestingly, in Denmark, ebelskivers (which are basically pancakes but with a sphere shape) are commonly served during Christmas with mulled wine, which is made of red wine, sugar and spices like cinnamon, ginger and bitter ...

Blueberry Cheesecake Cookies

11.30.2013 by Leah //

Now that I have added "baking" as one of my newly-acquired "skills", I have been wanting to make my own blueberry cheesecake.  People dear to me know how much I love this cake.  How nice it would be if I (with the help of AJ, of course) can bake and eat it, too! Thankfully, my Ninang Caro shared to me this recipe from Heat Oven to 350 called Cheesecake Cookies.  AJ and I ... READ MORE

Our Jackpot Chocolate Cake with Dark Chocolate Ganache

09.16.2013 by Leah //

We posted both at Instagram and Facebook this picture of the chocolate cake that we baked last night, and it made a lot of our friends crave for one!   For our first try, this is really a jackpot cake!  From the smooth and intense chocolate ganache to the moist and almost melt-in-the-mouth soft cake - everything was what we hoped for a classic chocolate cake. This cake ... READ MORE

Cheese Biscuits

09.02.2013 by Leah //

A few Sundays ago, AJ and I made Cheese Biscuits for breakfast, using this ready-mix flour from Mary Callender's that we bought at Rustan's Supermarket - Rockwell Branch for less than P100.00. It was so easy to do - just whisk together melted butter, fresh milk and the flour. Stir in the biscuit mix until a moist dough forms. We made 5 mounds of biscuits dough ... READ MORE

The 3-Step Tomato Basil Pasta

07.18.2013 by Leah //

This is probably the easiest pasta dish I've made so far.   I've read a  lot of  recipes for Tomato Basil Pasta but this is the only one that appealed to me because aside from using ingredients that are readily available in the grocery or your kitchen's pantry, there are only 3 steps to follow to make it!  And what's more, you'll be amazed at how close the taste of this pasta ...

Batangas Adobo

06.07.2013 by Leah //

Ever since I learned how to cook I've been trying to 'copy' my mom's Adobo recipe.   She hails from Batangas and her Batangas Adobo is very popular not only among us - her family - but also among her relatives and friends.  It has gained followers too from my office, too, because any left over Adobo we have, my dad turns into Adobo Sandwich, which I then bring to the office as ...

Pasta in Olive Oil and Spanish Sardines

03.14.2013 by Leah //

This recipe was inspired by the Angel Hair Pasta with Spanish Sardines and Broccoli that my sis-in-law, Juvvy, prepared during my short stay in Cebu.  She paired it with Hungarian Sausages.    It was so good I promised myself I will make one home for AJ. And so, armed with a bottle of Spanish-style Sardines that was given to me as Christmas gift, plump tomatoes and basil ... READ MORE

Topaz Horizon and Me

02.25.2013 by Leah //

I can't remember anymore the exact year when I did start to read blogs but for sure, it was Topaz Horizon, alongside Daphne.ph and Chuvaness.com, which got me interested in reading blogs.  Soon I was looking forward to what Frances, Daphne and Chuvaness will write about and share with us readers.  Yes, I was hooked! Fast forward to 2011.   I knew early on that AJ and Frances ... READ MORE
