Are you getting ready for your Cinco de Mayo party? Here are 15 ideas you could make to make your fiesta even more festive. You don’t have to make all of them of course. I personally would pick the 7-layer dip, salmon tacos, pork bulgogi tacos, and mexican lasagna for my own Cinco de Mayo party. Plus Margarita of course. Oh and Tequila shots. Ay Papi!
Advance Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone! Enjoy the dishes and let me know how you parties turn out.
I figured today is the best day to post here our Christmas spread this year. Actually, I’ve been involved with Kinect that I haven’t had time to blog here. I also took our decorations down today. We’re basically tired and I think we’re done with leftovers. We still got a bit of ham but the sides are gone. For tonight’s dinner we went to KFC to get a 12-piece meal pack.
The star of the night was th...

Everyone is posting holiday stuff on Facebook everyday and I’m just loving each and everyone of them. Christmas trees, children’s pictures, family gathering pictures, lovely messages, holiday recipes, etc. One of the pictures I LIKED recently is the one my sister-in-law posted where they’re playing poker. It made me think about the year my husband was deployed in Korea so we spent the holidays without him, and he spent his without us. My in-laws celebrated that Christmas with us so my son and I weren’t that lonely. Then days after that was my birthday (Dec 31st). My friends in that small Army community made sure I spent my birthday with some kind of party. It was a small gathering with drinks, food, and Texas Hold ‘Em Poker. It was actually that year when I learned how to play that card game. It was fun learning the history of card games along with tips on how to bluff. I became so good at doing the latter actually. It was fun listening to my friends teasing me how I’ve managed to bluff them all. Our poker nights continued when my husband got back from Korea. I really miss those days.
Get together with friends of course always involves food. I remember making lumpias and wings during our poker nights. Those 2, plus chips with dips are definitely the best finger food to serve during Poker night. If and when my husband and I get to play a round of poker sometime in the future I’d definitely serve these baked lumpias.
The process of making baked lumpias is not that different from making any kind of lumpias or egg rolls. The only thing that’s changed is how to cook them. Instead of frying ‘em up in oil, you bake them in the oven. That means healthier, and no greasy splatters everywhere. I reckon’ that’s a welcome thing for any of us who are trying to live healthy but still would love to enjoy the food we love. Hey, guilty as charged!
There really is nothing wrong with giving food items as Christmas Gifts. And it’s even more special if you make the goodies yourself...

So this is Emma’s gingerbread house that she and I worked on earlier today. First and foremost, when I make gingerbread house during the holiday season I don’t actually make everything from scratch. I just buy the boxed kit that you’ll find in any grocery or craft stores. I wish I could boast and talk about making the gingerbread pieces, and icing myself but that’s not the case. Still, I don’t mind using the kit. I love it, haha.
The kit came with gingerbrea...

I’m always practicing my cupcake decorating skills. Sometimes the frosting looks like how I intended it to look, sometimes it’s just total blob. But like they said, practice makes perfect. I’m quite satisfied with my rosette piping here. I have so much room, and I mean much much much much room for improvement but I’ll take these for now.

Making sugar cookies complete with decorations thanks to my mediocre talent is a tradition in my family. It started with my son when he was 5 years old. Now it’s with my 5 year old daughter while my 13 yr old son just helps out with the decorating part. This year I made the dough while the kids were with the husband during an appointment for the car, and a haircut for Caine...

Ditching the traditional sweet potato pies for our Thanksgiving desserts, I made pumpkin cheesecake with dulce de leche topping instead. It was my first time to make it so I was bit nervous how it will turn out. I also made red velvet cake truffles as a back up dessert just in case I totally mess the pumpkin cheesecake up...
