Commonly called ginataang totong (click on the link for the recipe), this is another coconut milk infused dessert with rice and toasted mung beans. Generally served as dessert or an afternoon snack, this is one of my entries for this month's Lasang Pinoy 22 - Rice to the Challenge.

I'm hosting LP this month, so make sure to submit a rice recipe if you have one. The deadline is today, but you know me, if you have one you're just rearing to submit, ignore the deadline and send it on anyway.

Gigantic Tapioca Pudding

I love puddings, and one of my favorite if tapioca. However, tapioca puddings are usually made with tiny tapioca pearls, not these humungous ones. These large pearls are normally used for bubble drinks or boba which my girls have been addicted to and have been experimenting with making the drinks at home. With their unused pearls, I decided to make this version of the tapioca pudding.

Beef Stirfries

Posted by JMom | Thursday, December 06, 2007 | , , | 0 comments »

When I'm eating something that the rest of the family do no eat, I usually end up cooking a completely different dish for them. I lucked out when I cooked these two dishes on the same night. I simply had to double some of the ingredients then it was just a matter of stir frying one dish after the other.

I can't ever prepare a meal without vegetables. These are two of our vegetables separately. One night, feeling lazy to pull out too many dishes, I decided to combine these two, and not only did it turn out to be more colorful together, they also tasted wonderful together!

The recipe is really simple. Click here to cook Cauliflower and Mushrooms together.

Caramel Cake, in progress

Posted by JMom | Sunday, December 02, 2007 | , | 0 comments »



This is the first attempt at a recipe for caramel cake. I'm not quite happy with it yet, it's a little too sweet, but I'll be working on it.

Just because I'm not happy with it doesn't mean the recipe is not good, though. My girls liked it. If you'd like the recipe, click her to cook caramel cake.
