This isn’t really much about the recipe because I just made regular white cupcakes which is basically butter, sugar, eggs, flour, baking powder and vanilla extract. The frosting is whipped butter, confectionery sugar, and food coloring. I’d still post the instructions at the bottom just for reference.
Albeit the not-so professional looking pictures, I just really wanted to post my improvement in piping cupcake frosting. I still need a lot of improvement but I’m getting there.

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...

The “fancy” name of this dish is Sauteed Pork & Bitter Melon W/ Shrimp Paste but you can also call it, binagoongang pork and ampalaya. It’s basically just a variation of the spicy binagoongang pork with napa cabbage. Because I’m an Ilocana and I love Amapalaya aka Bitter Melon aka Bitter Gourd, I love this version so much better.
If Ampalaya isn’t sold so expensive in Filipino stores here in the US I’d probably eat it everyday for lunch. I saved the seeds hoping to plant them and maybe grow my own bitter melons in the backyard but I’m not sure how it will fare in the US weather so I’ve chickened out in doing so. But I have to try sometime to find out, no? I will and I’ll let you know how it goes. In the meantime……..
Those Lawry’s marinades are not just good for marinating meats, yah know. They’re nice sauces to toss into sauteed dishes like this chicken wings with asparagus. This is especially quite easy to whip up on busy days or when you’re only cooking something for yourself for lunch or dinner.
Filipino Egg Rolls (Lumpia) are one of the best finger foods for parties like Superbowl. I’m going to post a quick recipe here to add into a roundup I’m currently working on. Enjoy.
These babies need to be wrapped a day ahead. You can find the egg roll wrappers at any Oriental store. Some regular grocery stored have them now too. Also, for the veggies, I suggest you buy the packed shredded carrots and cabbages from the vegetable section. It’s actually the coleslaw pack. Just add chopped garlic and onions at home.
For our traditional weekend breakfast (Mommy doesn’t cook breakfast during the week) this morning I asked hubs how did he like the eggs, scrambled or fried? He said he didn’t really feel like eating breakfast. He’s sick right now. He’s the last member of the family who caught the bug. First was the baby girl, then the son, which of course ended up with me and now it’s Daddy’s turn.
But then, before I could leave the room, Hubs said, “you know, I could really go for some bagels with cream cheese, an egg, bacon and cheese on top sandwich“.
For a sick guy who didn’t feel like eating breakfast, he sure worked up an appetite in a matter of 2 seconds from the time I asked how he liked his eggs.
Fry your eggs. Cook the bacon.
Toast the bagels firs...
Read MoreHello once again. Thanks for being patient with me. I apologize for taking such a long time to bring back my foodblog. Let’s just say, I have been fighting with technical problems.
Just for a refresher, I have had my own foodblog the same time I started “journalling” online. Way way back in ’99. Before, my recipes were part of a personal website...
