Another truffle post. Seems like I can't get enough of them. I had a serious hankering for Oreo truffles a few weeks ago that I just had to make some. Hubby thought they tasted like Oreo cheesecakes and he kept "stealing" some from the fridge....

Margherita Pizza

I love meat pizza, but every once in a while, I crave for the simple, rustic taste of the Margherita. The simplicity of the ingredients is a good break to an otherwise "heavy" and overloaded pizza. A quick research told me that this delectable...

Pinoy Spaghetti

With burnt toast edges on the background Hubby surprised me one night by bringing home a bagful of Filipino goodies (from the Asian store, of course!). I went straight to the thing that I have been craving the most - the spaghetti sauce!...

Oven-Roasted Cornish Game Hens

I couldn't pass up a pair of Cornish Game Hens in our local grocery store (yes, they were sold in twos due to their diminutive size) so I bought them without even having a clue on what to do with them. I thought of stuffing one (ala micro-mini...

Poll: School Pizza

Since I started working in a school, I have been (re-)introduced to school lunches. Our school cafeteria actually serves good food like Chicken ala King, Beef Meatball soup, Chicken patties (oh yeah, the chicken patties are REALLY good), and...
