Lasang Pinoy Sundays: STRAWBERRIES

Photobucket

…to kick off our IRON CHEF inspired themes, this week is all about succulent and sweet strawberries! and all i can come up with is everyone’s favorite in the house…CREPES. this one is specifically for moi and my girl. we love crepes with strawberry filling, loads of whipped cream, slathered with a bit of cream cheese…more whipped cream on top and finally fresh cut berries to garnish. the downside of this? making the crepes in itself requires a whole lot of time and effort, but eating them…not even a minute!

Lasang Pinoy Sundays: KIDS

Photobucket

kids and nutella…what can possibly go wrong, right? and if i may say so, even for big kids like me! i made these on one of those playdate days. tried to make the simple bread and nutella spread a bit more fancy by making them into cutesie nutella sushi! an easy-piecey, quick-in-a-jiff, eye-candy solution for KIDS and their friends!

update: we will be doing some Iron Chef inspired themes soon as per Jay’s suggestion and as agreed on by most of you. do not fret though…the concept of having a ’secret ingredient’ is all we are borrowing from the show. and to kick off this new game, next Sundays theme is STRAWBERRIES! have fun and happy week ahead guys!:)

Puto [Litrato]

Photobucket

…again, this was made by my daughter, S. out of the box, yes. but she prepared them on her own! not steamed as how we usually make PUTO [rice cakes], but i helped her stash ‘em in the oven. quick, easy..instant craving satiated!

…di pa siya nakuntento…nilagyan pa ng kaunting red food color ang 2nd batch!:) and of course i’ve had a too much of ‘em, so much so that i just might need some diet pills after! yikes!

Lahok para sa Photobucket na may temang…MERIENDA.

Lasang Pinoy, Sundays : let’s CHILL!

Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain.

true. i, for one can attest to that. those days during my childhood when we always looked forward to heavy downpours if only to play out and marvel on the fun that it brings as soon as we get soaked. literally.
[thanks to lynn for that quote i plucked out of her FB status]

but i also learned how to value the beauty of warmer sun shiny weather, more so when we moved here in the US. summer for me now just comes a quarter of a whole year. all the more it is well appreciated.

after all, there are small and simple ways out there to counter the heat that the summer tags along….like CHILLED DRINKS! which qualify as a grand solution to defy that thirst.

for breakfast. a CHOCOLATE MILK SMOOTHIE. made by M for last week’s Sunday breakfast.

watermelon-shake-1

lunch. fresh WATERMELON SHAKE. still made by M one weekend.  mah man truly knows how to quench his thirst, you see.

kirin

and for dinner [onwards:)]. mah tall glass of CHILLed KIRIN. what i had to CHILLax on my very recent Shabu birthday dinner.

S’s Funfetti cupcake [Litrato]

funfetti

S’s very first attempt on baking all on her own! it may be out of the box, but now i know somebody has followed our footsteps! at least gastronomically speaking…she did everything by herself! from opening the box to using the mixer and frosting [not in photo], even to washing the baking tools that she used!

sinigurado ko na maging ang paghuhugas ay dapat nyang matutunan at gawin para malaman nya ang lahat ng steps na nakapalibot sa pagluluto o pag-b-bake.

it all came out as a success! from the super moist and soft cupcake to the washed utensils/tools! big girl. mah girl.:)

ang aking almusal the very next day…paired with a cup of coffee! delicious!:)

Lasang Pinoy Sundays: Whip EAT!

whip-eat

this is by far the easiest dessert that you can WHIP up whenever the need for a quick hit arises…warm brownie squares whether freshly baked or store-bought layered with scoops of ice cream…topped with WHIPped cream and garnished with whatever you fancy, chocolate shavings, powdered sugar, fresh fruit or sprinkles.  simple, delicious, beautiful!:)

about the PHOTO: this is a recycled and tweaked a bit photo. i never had the chance to come up with something dedicated for LaPiS [for now] so i settled with this birthday cake i made a month ago for M’s nth birthday with ONE candle. thanks to him too for helping me with the photo editing! mwah, mwah to M! and while we’re at it…HAPPY HAPPY FATHER’S day to M and to all kewl dads as well!!!!
