Snack time: Homemade Mango Ice cream

Summer has started and weather is getting warm now. Mmmm.... Swimming, Sipping some Icy drinks and ICE CREAM! Yes! Time to eat Ice cream again. But what flavor will I have to get in the supermarket? Cookies and cream? Chocolate? Double Dutch? Strawberry Ice cream? Queso Real? Ube Macapuno? Vanilla? Caramel and Cashew?

Tyne and Shiva our furr kids

Being a mom is like working 24/7. You wake up in the morning making breakfast, attend to everybody then do the chores, etc. I am a housewife but not a mommy yet. I feel just like a mom because I tend to 2 little furr kids.

Say hello to Tyne and Shiva-our furry kids. :)

What's for dinner: Dinengdeng/Inabraw (Veggie Stew)

Bahay kubo, kahit munti,
ang halaman duon ay sari-sari.
Singkamas at talong,
Sigarilyas at mani.
Sitaw, bataw, patani.
Kundol, patola, upo't kalabasa.
At saka meron pa,
Labanos, mustasa.
Sibuyas, kamatis,
Bawang at luya.
Sa paligid-ligid ay puno ng linga.

This is a classic (ever most famous) Filipino folk song. It's about a small humbled hut with lots of
veggie plants around. Anyway, I was singing this because of the menu I am going to talk about today is about an Ilocano vegetable stew known as Dinengdeng (also called Inabraw by others).

Good Morning Breakfast: Cornbread muffins (recipe included)

 
Who loves corn? (raising my hand)  Admit it (you, yes you who is reading this). We all love corn. Me, I like it boiled or "Nilaga" as we Pinoy call it. I remember mommy buying the uncooked corn the boils it in a very large pot when I was still young. Funny coz there was a time I was so so excited to eat it that it was not completely cooked yet. ha ha ha.

What's for dinner: Sour Shrimp soup a.k.a. Sinigang na Hipon (recipe included)

I am a craving for Shrimp since last week so I decided to cook something special today. Since Shrimp here in Metro Manila is so expensive we get to have it only once in a blue moon. I am a seafood lover so this is a special menu for me. Please bear with me as I'm really drooling now, lols.
