Latest Crochet Creations and more...

Hi everyone!

It's been a long while but I know Daddy Allan always fill your eyes with yummy foods right? Now let me share our latest crochet creations so please keep your eyes wide open :)

Oreo and Mango Cheesecakes

Cheesecake is one of our menu in our 6^th anniversary. I made a No-bake Oreo Cheesecake. You can check the recipe on Momaye's Diary. Instead of using fruits as toppings, I used crushed Oreo cookies for this one.

Pancit Lomi ala Chemist Dad

There are many ways or versions of cooking pancit. Over the weekend, I tried making one inspired by Red Kimono’s Yakiudon. I used lomi noodles instead of the usual canton or bihon.

Hearty Lumpia and Siomai Recipe

If you are having hard time to make your kids eat veggies, one is mask the veggies and turn it into something they love. Before, I turned puso ng saging or banana blossom into a hearty burger, now here is another suggestion. Turn it into lumpiang shanghai and siomai. To add another twist, the mixture is prepared the longganisa way.

Since the lumpia wrapper is not enough for the prepared mixture, I turn the remaining mixture into siomai.

Up, Up and Away Wednesday: Nueva Ecija Sky

"Clouds do not really look like camels

or sailing ships or castles in the sky.

They are simply a natural process at work.

So too, perhaps, are our lives."

Homemade Pizza

Mommy and I planned to celebrate our 6^th anniversary in Shakey’s or Pizza Hut since both of us are really craving for pizza. Unfortunately, our anniversary falls on the centennial celebration of the Iglesia Ni Cristo and heavy traffic was reported going to SM Marilao.

To satisfy our pizza craving, I made a homemade one. I used the ready-made Del Monte Italian Style Pizza Sauce.
