Sponge Cake

I make my own sponge cake I added sugar to taste and a squeeze of lemon. I placed it in the a bowl and poured the sponge cake batter on top and baked in the oven at 180 for 25 mins. I did alter the batter recipe to 3 whole eggs I just folded the white  and wow a beautiful dessert. This was a couple of times  I baking a cake i am glad the result tasted good. was a bit nervous It should be around 25 minutes to bake the thickness of the cake for an 11 inch tin is the same as that of the 8 inch tin because you are adjusting the amount of batter according with different tin sizes. However, the baking time will also depend on your oven heat. Not all ovens bake the same way, so it really should be based on your experience in using your oven. But use the 45 - 50 minutes as a general guide and test your cake with a toothpick to check if it is done. My kid and my friend's kids like my cake every 10 minutes they come back to the kitchen  and eat it, lol. they like it. I bake also a chocolate cake which is my favorite cake. Might be, I have to bake again enjoy watching yum,yum.

Granola bars

you know that I love to cook and eat delicious foods. Unfortunately, they’re not all the healthiest choices, so I have decided to make more of an effort to plan healthy, lower-fat, lower starch, higher fiber, more veggie-filled meals. I also made a list of healthful snacks we should try to have on hand.
On the list was granola bars. for a couple of days we went out for groceries shopping and i keep looking the snack for my kid when i seen the granola bar i can think is good for your health to make your health have a higher fiber. Speaking of eating a healthy food which is good than eating junks food. This is what i like to eat right after eating lunch with my kid he like this one it's good for the kids. lower in fat and it doesn't much sugar on it.

But do you know what?  They’re not all healthy! Some of the granola bars you can buy in stores may as well be candy bars, with the amount of sugar and fluff they include in their ingredients. And most of them except Kashi also have high fructose corn syrup as a main ingredient. Disgusting. While I love Kashi granola bars, my kid and I tend to go through a bunch of those, so for us this is good snack.

Kettle Chips

 Kettle Chips are sweet also potato chips, they have  different type of flavor and I have to say I am pleased they did. Although an unusual taste, these are actually pretty addictive. The spicy flavour is probably better described as tangy, but is very delicious. They claim it is a blend of cumin, tumeric and coriander, and the combination works well. I hope these chips are here to stay. I love kettle cooked chips.  They're just so much crunchier and tastier than the normal ones. Of course, I only really like the really home-made style ones.I don't like a lot of the fake-y kettle chips that are just marginally thicker than normal chips.

Raw Fish English Term

Kinilaw or Raw fish in other words. fish that can be used for making kinilaw. Tuna, tangigue or tanigue or sea bass in english.

means to cook in vinegar. It’s not really cooking since there is no heat involved. But soaking fish or some other seafood in a strong vinegar solution turns the meat opaque and gives it a texture of having been cooked. Filipinos love curing fish and meat Specifically, with the use of vinegar. I was reading a couple of months ago and the description of how the Filipinos preserved their food during the 19th century gave me some insight. Hence, they are used in many of our traditional dishes like adobo, tapa and kinilaw raw fish. talakitok cavalla in english. and lapu-lapu. grouper in english too.

I just posted because remember our vacation last february my family was making a kinilaw or raw fish went out on the beach we had many baon or stuffs fot taking to the picnic it was nice though. As our tradition the family had always this kind of stuffs kinilaw or any filipino food. It was wonderful time when you spend your family in vacation because you can eat your filipino dish. for long time I misses all of the food here in the U.S filipno food.  Although i can cook as many as i want there are many Asian market here in Jax.  but it's really different when you see all those foods in the table especially my mom cooks alot. here we are people were starving our filipino dish enjoy it.

Snack

Been  a while to check my blog because we been going out on vacation now I know it's behind but I dont have to worry about it because were back.  At this moment I would post some photos for my little snack I hope you would enjoy it. this is my homemade snack it's called in visayan puto or in other words sweet rice steaky.  ( english term)   I made it by myself  it is not copycat.

Puto are usually white and round and can vary greatly in size. It is usually served with grated coconuts. I bake these last week.
Puto is usually eaten as a snack a light meal or snack especially in the afternoon, but can also be eaten for breakfast with coffee or hot chocolate but it is best served with drink.  but this will required more work of the recipe. The best way to have flavored puto is to use essence which are also tinted to the color relative to the flavor like pandan essence flavor give you a light green puto and an ube essence and gives you a light purple puto. I am now back to the normal were i love exploring about cooking. as I knew my blog doesn't look very attractive but in  simple way i can post and create my cooking habit. although i make a lil money but i can only change the template of my blogs once if i have time. by this year perhaps  i buy a domain for this blog.  enjoy friends.



 And of course, adding food colouring can be added but still keep the original flavor.    The original puto that I know of, is made of soaked ground rice But there are now many variation of this recipe the type of rice used to the method of how it is prepared.  This one i made it by myself too i am just browsing the web and i found and print it. 

My Own Lumpia

Lumpia is the one of the most popular Appetizer recipes. I do really like This kind of appetizer because it is very good and crunchy. I learn cooking when I came here in the  U.S  Somewhat my cooking is not quitly perfect for everybody i made it good as much as i can.  Started when my mom in law telling me i need to buy a recipe book for learning cooking.  She is good in cooking when there's a family gathering like birthday or family picnic she was the one who prepared the food. I certainly surprise when my filipino friend was on the party my mom in law asking me if I can make a Lumpia recipe  then i said sure i make it. i stored a filipino foods in case if there's a special occasion i would cook it. it such a good feeling when i found out that my  parents in law loves to eat Lumpia. it was great party because they like my lumpia. lol. take note this is original not copyright. i made it.
