The only time I can do my errands while I'm at work is during lunch break. This means going to the bank, buying a few grocery items, going to the drugstore and what have you under the scorching heat of the sun. Hello ang init lang talaga this summer.

Super Easy Dole Pineapple and Pork Tacos

I love cooking...or at least the idea of cooking. I remember cutting out recipes from the tons of Reader's Digest my relatives from the US sends to us and I would bind them in a folder that's held together by blue yarn. I kept these books in my drawers, hoping that when I had time, I will pull out these books and I will get cooking! Well that time never came and those books are now nowhere to be found. I found myself having more fun baking which I found easier and more enjoyable. I tried … [Continue reading]
