Pancakes and Omelet

I usually skip breakfast. 

Yes, yes. I know it's the most important meal of the day. 

But as soon as I wake up, I have a gazillion things on my mind and a list of things to do. 

 Sunday brunches are non-existent on my book because I work on weekends,

but weekday brunches can be just as divine...

Fluffy vanilla pancakes dusted with sugar, topped with fresh fruits and a drizzle of syrup

Smoked ham, mozzarella and cheddar cheese omelet with homemade whole wheat bread

Cap this off with a mug of pipping hot black coffee and I'm good to go

Happy days...

Churros con Chocolate

It's been foggy weather here lately.

Meaning...

I've been living in my comfy sweater. Yes, it has seen better days, may be faded and has several tiny holes on the sleeves but I believe that is perfect fashion for foggy weather.

I've been too lazy to put on my garden boots and hunt down those pesky snails that keeps on raiding my lettuce bed. 

They'll have their day. Soon. When the sun comes out. Not today.

I've been too lazy also to go out and run some errands. My stock of flour and eggs has been dwindling, but not yet completely gone.

Meaning...

I can make the perfect foggy weather snack!

Too lazy to get out a few pots and make churros con chocolate from scratch?

  Nope. Never.

 Fresh, warm, soft and crunchy churros dredged in cinnamon sugar then dipped in thick hot chocolate...perfect!

* I'm including this on the menu soon! Perfect for Tagaytay weather;)

Chicken Burger

Oh, my...

Just looking at this makes me wanna run back to the kitchen and start making one. 

Doesn't matter that I already had to "taste test" this three times.

Thick, juicy chicken patty on soft homemade brioche sesame bun, crisp bacon, sweet grilled onion, stringy cheddar and mozzarella cheese, 

tangy gherkins, tomatoes and fresh lettuce...

 Ahhh!!!

*Chicken or beef burger now included on the menu;)

Wedding Cake

Carrot and Walnut Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

I made this 3-tiered cake for one of my best friends since high school. It was such a lovely and tear-jerking occasion. 

*Sigh*
