I'm a big fan of alpacas - and even had them at my wedding - so when I saw a card making magazine on sale where the cover gift was a set of animal stamps including alpacas, I had to have them! It also came with some fun sentiments to go with the different animals including this one: Let's go on an
adventure - alpaca my bags! Probably my favourite alpaca pun :-)
To make this card I started with a background paper of pink and blue hearts. I then...

Sinabawan Ulo ng Maya Maya. The other day I found this fresh maya maya fish head at South Supermarket in Filinvest Alabang. Without hesitation I immediately grab, knowing that this premium fish is no cheap. One medium size fish head costing about 500 pesos, immediately cut short my grocery budget money. Never the less I was pretty sure that it will make a great fish soup meal, I wanted ...

Adobong Kangkong with Oyster Sauce. To today I am sharing my version of Adobong Kangkong. Adobong kangkong is one of the more popular vegetable adobo. It is simple, quick and fairly easy to prepare. Adobong kangkong is not new, in fact it is one of my first dish when I have started this Pinoy Food Blog. I have been posting also other Vegetable adobo recipe regularly. You may want ...
You may have noticed that I love to make birthday cards, and have even made other greeting cards and invitations by hand. You may also have noticed that I haven't had a lot of time lately! My daughter is 13 months old now and takes up most of my time and attention, and when she's with my husband or having a nap, I'm doing housework or preparing her meals or one of a myriad of other chores.
So the opportunity to review Paperless Post couldn't...

Pinoy Creamy Pork and Chicken Curry. I am not sure if someone has ever used Nestle cream on a Pinoy version of curry. The idea came about when I decided to cook a usual Pinoy Pork and Chicken Curry and I forgot about the coconut cream or milk ingredient. Without the coconut milk I decided to use what was available that I thought would make a good substitute, I had in the cupboard a can ...

Kinamatisang Daing at Nilagang Saba is my suggestion for a meat free holy week dish. Most Pinoy Christians in particular observed the Holy Week with meat free meals and dried fish is the choice of food next of course to the fish. Some of would rather have fresh fish for the reason of course people like fresh food. But for those who have been in the tradition of having dried fish meals duri...

How often do you eat out? I have to admit now I have a baby under a year old I can't remember the last time I went out for dinner, though we do manage the occasional lunch out usually for a family birthday! Have you ever thought about how much eating out in restaurants costs each year and does that make you want to make more effort to cook at home, or is the cost worth it for the experience and quality of food?
This infographic from Sunny reveals...

I've got laryngitis at the moment so we had to cancel the visit to my parents last week and plans for this week are a bit up in the air until I get my voice back! So I am going to plan meals as if we were going to be at home every day but hopefully we will get to visit my parents at some point.
Monday

Lunch for baby S peanut butter sandwich and apple slices with cinnamon
Lunch for us hotdogs
Dinner for baby S butterbean and veg stew followed by quark and fruit
Dinner for us fish pie for me, chicken wrapped in...

How much do you know about Iberian ham? I have to admit I was a little hazy - I knew it from restaurants and deli counters as a wafer thin type of cured ham from Spain but that was about it.
In fact it's the pigs that are Iberian. They have dark skin and look black rather than pink, with long slender hind legs. They live in freedom and graze on acorns in certain parts of Spain, which apparently gives the meat a unique taste.
It's quite interesting...

I didn't manage to do a meal plan last week as I had very little time and had to just wing it when it came to meals... which isn't that easy when you are trying to prepare healthy nutritious food for a baby, finish feeding her and realise you need to get your own dinner on and have no idea what you are going to cook! My mum is out of hospital and has been for over a week now, and is doing really well; we are going to see her and my dad this week.
Monday
Breakfast for baby S Porridge with red berries
Lunch for baby S Chicken, potato waffles, veg

What do you get for the man who has everything? OK not everything, but if there's something my husband decides he wants, one click of a button and it turns up the next day from Amazon Prime. It takes a lot of thought at birthday and Christmas to come up with something he will like but hasn't already bought himself, and I try hard to find slightly quirky or unusual gifts from independent retailers or online gift companies (one stocking filler I...

My mum is still in hospital (this is her 4th week) but she is recovering really well and I think pretty close to being allowed to go home, which is brilliant. I don't really know when I'm going to visit her in advance at the moment as it depends on when she is going home, what help she and my dad will need, and if I get any more job interviews - everything is quite up in the air at the moment really!
I've been winging it so far this week but had an online shop last night and realised if I don't plan meals, food will sit in the fridge until its...

This is the first meal plan I've managed to do so far this year as 2019 didn't start off as expected - my mum was rushed into hospital on December 30th and spent a week in intensive care, most of that unconscious. Thankfully she is now awake and on the mend on a ward where she will be for a couple more weeks; I've been to visit several times already but then had a cold so was asked to stay away while her immune system is still weak. And with a job interview for myself and a meeting with a recruiter for my husband this week I'm not sure if I will...
