My tortilla Wraps.

So I did these wraps all by myself from scratch. This is actually one of my favorite. Its very easy to make and really yummy. Well for me, cause I'm obsessed with just about anything that includes pita wraps. From indian to greek cuisine. I love every bit of it!

Here's the recipe:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tbsp of lard or vegetable. Shortening
1/2 cup of warm water


Steps:
Mix all the dry ingredients. Flour, salt, baking powder. And then add the shortening, make sure to cut it in small pieces. Mix everything.

Then add the warm water and knead dough for 3mins and form it into a ball. Let it rest for another 5mins and cover with cloth or plastic. After 5 mins, form it into 10 small balls and let it rest again for 30 mins to relax.

After that roll each ball using a rolling pin into a flat round disc and toss it into a dry round skillet until it has brown spots or as soon as the bubbles appear. Then its ready!


Here I made some meaty wraps. Ham and beef patties with tomato sauce, honey mustard, cheese and fresh tomatoes.

Mean while, my sister baked some Jamaican Patties and this thing. I swear she's the best! I kinda wanna learn too coz I love jamaican patties but whatever, I'll just leave it to her. Atleast, I can bake delicious cakes! ;p

P.S
I am blogging through my blackberry phone and I'm kinda lazy so forgive my post hope you understand the recipe though.lol K thanksbye.

Baked Mac n' Cheese!

So here's my very own baked mac n' cheese! I used three different kinds of cheese here. So it's really awesome.. Its very easy to make and you can actually be the boss here when it comes to adding all the ingredients.

(taken via instagram)

Here are the easy steps..
  •  First, you will need Flour, milk, butter, pinch of salt and pepper, ham (optional), and cheese. Here I used 3 kinds of cheese. Cheddar, mozzarella, and the cheese magic.



  • Get a sauce pan and put the butter to melt, then add the flour to form a paste, mixed well then add the milk one bit at a time depending on how thick you want the white sauce to be, then add pepper and salt. (during this time you should dump the macaroni to boil in another pan)

  • Then remove it from the heat and add a handful amount of grated cheese and allow it to melt.
 You can add a little bit of milk for desired sauce.
  • Then combine the sauce and the pasta.

  • Top it with mozzarella cheese and ham and put it in the oven until the cheese were all melt. :)

and wahh-lah! you got yourself a good baked mac n' cheese. ^_^

MY BIRTHDAY CAKE SHOULD ONLY BE TWO THINGS: classy and fabulous!

And so I decided to bake another fondant cake and this time, it's for myself. For our birthday! I realized that every girl has the right age she deserve and so with the cake. I go for Chanel cake cause I am a die hard lover of Chanel. and I've always wanted to bake a Chanel cake so here it is, not the best one but atleast I tried my best and I can honestly say that this cake iz Le' bomb!


I was actually of thinking of making this little cake too pinkish but I forgot to colored my fondant, too late when I realized that I actually wanted pink so I just painted it after. hahaha

My favorite part.. Covering the cake with fondant! :)
I also did some heart shaped Safari chocolate cake! :)

I just put some Betty Crocker chocolate frosting to make it more chocolaty in the center.
I love this cake! and I have finally discovered how to make my fondant less sweeter. 
I guess, it's true practice makes perfect! :))

Anyhoo, nothing really happened during my birthday cause I literally spent half of my day in school trying to get my grades and then went back to house at around 5-ish and eat with my family and some friends who went over the house.
Just the typical Filipino food and I love love love this Pancit malabon! so I asked my mom to buy this for our birthday. I am addicted to it! This is probably the only malabon that I like.. and surprisingly the best malabon ever! well, I also like the Malabon in Greenhills though. But its like whatever. I love this one. :)

I think the best gift I have ever received on my birthday was when I got this surprise call from my boyfriend. Although I told him in my letters that he should call me on my birthday cause I made him this little scrap book wherein I wrote him random letters inside that he should only read every month.. and I told him no peeking but right after he checked in to the hotel he told me he already read the letter for December which is very stubborn and honest of him. but whatever, atleast he made an extra effort to call me earlier than I actually thought. He actually called me last Sunday before my birthday and greeted me in advance. He called me like 9x that day and just made me laugh the entire time. He's the sweetest! and he's basically the highlight of my year. He's one of the few best things that ever happened to me, and I can't thank God enough for having him. He's the only person that I can really be myself with, I mean, I can literally be me when Im around him. He makes me feel like I'm very much at home and that I can just practically laugh my ass off with him, be goofy around him and just eat till my heart contents without him judging me.

And I think that's what love is all about, when you're inlove with someone who can make you be the most "you" that you can possibly be, when you don't even love them for their looks, or their clothes, or for their fancy car, but because they know exactly the melody to your heart, the music to your soul and can literally dance with it. Like there's this certain music that the two of you could only hear. and I think it's LOVE, or beyond it.. I think it's love at it's finest perfection. It's magical.

I don't even know how he could manage to make me feel loved eventhough he's nowhere near, but he was really that great to make me feel like I'm not alone. That he's still there, still inlove. That there's this weird invisible thread that brings us more closer to each other. It's like the more I miss him, the more he would make an extra effort to make-up with the times that he couldn't be here. He's an amazing boyfriend! and I couldn't ask for more. He's like the brother and the bestfriend I never had. He's my soulmate. There, I finally said it. and Eventhough at times he could really be such a huge pain in the ass, well,. he's MY pain in the ass, and I love him! :)
