Food is love. In my house, it’s true. I love cooking and baking for those I love, and if they happen to be sweet treats that look as cute as they are delicious, well, then so be it. Here is a small roundup of some beautiful ideas for Valentine’s Day sweet treats which I found [...]
My mother has definitely been my inspiration in the kitchen. Growing up in a Filipino household, food played a very important part of my life from day one. I have many memories of tons of friends and family coming over for various parties and having huge food spreads, with everyone walking through the door [...]

The gorgeous rolling hills of the Willamette and Yamhill Valleys in Oregon are peppered with vines for luscious, world-recognized pinot noirs, pinot gris, chardonnays, and numerous other varieties. For many vineyards, Memorial Day weekend is [...]
The kids & I (and in the end, mostly me) made these Browned Butter Sugar Cookies for Valentine’s Day. I followed this recipe from Cooking Light.

Well, it’s done. Another Christmas Feast behind us. I must say, this year’s was just good but not stellar.We mistimed the roast, so it was a little dry. We used the same recipe we used for the dinner we cooked when both sets of parents were in town, and it was AMAZING for that dinner. [...]
