Top 5 Foods to Make!

I miss cooking and baking! The last major meal that I have prepared was last Christmas when I hosted our yearly barkada Christmas party at my house. Since I'm in SG, I really don't have the time, energy and equipments to cook to my heart's content. So I'm listing the Top 5 Recipes that I will be making when I get home:


#1: Beef Bourguignon ala Julia Child
Yes, I'am sure every girl who loves to cook and has seen Julie and Julia has tried making this dish and I am no different. Watching the movie awoke my passion for the kitchen and I've been itching to make this dish! I just need to buy a casserole dish that is oven-proof and I am all set!


#2: Chocolate Pudding ala Moi
This is the dessert that I am most proud of. The molten chocolate center and the soft outer layer can transform the rainiest days to bright and sunny! Serving it with a scoop of whipped cream makes all the difference.


#3: Red Velvet Cake
I tasted some Red Velvet Ice Cream last Thursday at Somerset 313 and remembered one of my friends making this with beets. Since I haven't tasted real beets before, I am curious as to how they can make this cake so delicious! Will keep you all posted!


#4: Anchovy and Four-Cheese Pizza with Crust ala Kuya Mon
Kuya Mon has been perfecting his pizza crust since October 2009.. seriously! From bread-like consistency to the present crunchy-outside-chewy-inside crust, I've been wanting to make this for quite sometime. Even though we have an oven at home, I still don't feel comfortable making a multi-step dish outside my kitchen (in the Philippines.. Hehe)! I will surely make this when I get home.


#5: Prime Roast
Okay, I'm being a bit ambitious here but I really want to make this! Haha. I just hope I don't waste the meat when I 'accidentally' take it out of the oven too early! :D

So there, will post pictures as soon as I have made them!

Hospital Cheat Sheets

Hello mommies! Sorry I have been busy trying to balance spending quality time with my baby, the pastry shop @joaniescupcakes and our newly launched online store, Petit Bébé PH.  Check out our IG and FB pages if you have time, @petitbebeph. 😍 Anyway, a lot as been asking about the hospital lists that I made for my delivery so here they are! As some of you might know, I am quite OC about paperwork and I have no pain tolerance so I really wanted to make sure that my doctors did not miss anything about my medical history. I was also confined 3x during my pregnancy. This is why I wanted to make sure that my list is detailed so we could avoid mistakes. Information Sheet This is the information sheet that I made. I consulted my OB prior to my delivery about the things that will be asked during check in/ labor. The text is RED are things you need to fill out on the way to the hospital as you might not have enough time to print them when you start contracting. Birth Plan ...

Eating at Home

Reg and I have been trying to lose weight to better control our sugar intake. We ate out a lot when I was still pregnant so he gained "pregnancy pounds" as well. Haha! I have been going to the supermarket to buy 3 weeks worth of dinners the past 2 months and I have been making weekly menu plans to help us achieve our goal. Honestly, I have always felt lazy to do this menu because the meats available at the grocery varies every week. I tend to buy what looks good so I can't stick to 1 set of menu come marketing time. First, let's start with the supermarket. We are closer to Unimart Greenhills but I feel that prices there are higher and there are times when their stock delivery is delayed. I always end up not being able to buy everything that I need. In order for this menu planning to succeed, I now go to my trusty Landmark Supermarket in Trinoma. I used to shop there when I was still single but I stopped going when I moved after getting married because I hated the ...

Hospital Packing List

I’m an OC person when it comes to packing. I love checklists! When I was at home on bedrest, I had plenty of time to get ready for the delivery. I didn’t want to go to the hospital with incomplete things so I started researching online and mommy blogs on what to pack when D-day comes. I made this list 3 months before my due date. I was paranoid because I had 3 hospital confinements during my pregnancy. I wanted to make sure that everything was ready.  When my OB told me that I was being induced on my 37th week, I made sure I ran through everything with my husband and our nanny. I have very low pain tolerance so I didn’t want them asking me where everything was when I was recovering! 😂 I divided the list into 3 categories: Mommy Daddy Baby I had to make sure my husband had an extra pillow and blanket so his back wouldn’t hurt from sleeping in the couch. I was expecting us to stay longer than normal as I was being induced. He needed to be in tiptop shape for our bab...
