Happy Halloween!!!

Next to Christmas, Halloween is my next favorite holiday. Though while growing up I didn't get the chance to Trick or Treat because during those days it wasn't the norm here.  This makes me sound so old! (^_^) Unlike now since there are a lot of Filipinos who have adopted the American traditions, Halloween is a big thing for kids, with their mum or dad in tow, they get to have lots and lots of candy and they get to dressed up in cute or scary looking outfits. They just look so adorable! But of course when I was a child I don't like Halloween because it means scary movies are being shown in the telly and that I have to deduct one day from my precious school vacation to visit and pay my respect to our relatives. I hated the sweltering heat of the sun and the stench of the people since it was always so hot. Now that I'm a grown up I don't hate it as much since it only takes half a day and we are finished. Maybe when I was a kid it was half a day too however since it seems like it took forever before we get back home, in my memory it seems like a whole day.

First Carrot Cake

When the book Sweeter Side of Amy’s Bread first came to print, I was on my cookbook diet then I was saving up to by a Macbook. So I convinced myself that I didn’t need another cookbook. However, every now and then, I found myself searching online for recipes from this book and whenever I find wander through the aisle of my local bookstore, I kept looking longingly on it, kept checking to see if its finally on sale. Finally got fed up with the waiting game, I saved up and luckily just in time for the annual sale J How cool is that? It took me a few months of saving and a few years of putting it off and now I got a copy of the book.

Blueberry Smoothie

This may not look very delicious but I promise you that it taste good! It's even good for you, full of anti oxidant since this is pack full of blueberries! One of my favorite fruit from the berry family. Its cool and refreshing too! A warning though don't drink too fast or else...brain freeze!!!
