I get my love of food from my dad so you would think that with Father's Day fast approaching, I would be leaning towards a foodie gift, right? Wrong. The thing with having a foodie for a father is that he always thinks what he makes is better than anything that can be bought. Yeah, well I didn't say he was modest.
Luckily, like most men he also loves watching sports on TV. That is, after the food channel. BUT, me buying him a giant HDTV for Father's Day, even though I know he would absolutely love it, is out of the budget.
HOWEVER, if you can write a convincing essay on “Why does your dad deserves the nation’s biggest HDTV?” he just may be spending
Father's Day in HD heaven. To enter the contest, just click on the link for details on how you can make your dad's day even more special.
If your dad lives in Charter's service area (check their website if your area is covered), they may be eligible to win, thanks to you, the Grand Prize HDTV and FREE Charter HD service and The Charter Bundle for life. Runner ups can also win FREE Charter HD service for a year.

This month's Lasang Pinoy theme is Make Your Own Bento. This is Jade's lunch not too long ago that we quickly photographed because we had let the deadline lapse for the event and didn't get a chance to post anything more original than this.
We'll attempt to do better bentos in the future and post them here. We're still determined. :D

April's Daring Baker challenge were these beautiful and delicious cheesecake pops. Yep, you heard right, lollypop cheesecakes! What could be better than that, eh? The girls had a great time sharing these little treats with their friends. These pops would be perfect for a birthday party or any festive occasion where you want something impressive and fun.
I've never baked a cheesecake before much less work with melted chocolate, so this was a fun challenge. I was glad it came out pretty good.

We’ve been eating too much meat and not enough vegetables so last weekend, we cooked us up a preview of things to come in our garden. We can’t wait for summer! In the meantime, we had to content ourselves with market bought veggies. This is a quick and easy vegetable medley that can be a meal in itself...

Whether it's the holiday season or anytime the rest of the year, these sugar cookies will please any cravings for sweets.
These don't have to be this boring circular shape, these cookies are perfect for piping into decorative shapes especially if you have a cookie press. If you'd rather do cut out, you can do that too, just cool the dough down first to make it easier to handle. It's really buttery so it can get pretty soft if left out too long.
Get the recipe for these sugar cookies.
