Low Carb Zucchini Bread

Our favorite low-carb, sugar-free bread that tastes delicious! This gluten-free zucchini bread is moist and has notes of coconut and almonds!

Nearly 13 years ago when hubby and I first came to the US, we fell in-love with the many delicious food that were available and uniquely American. We were likewise amazed at the sheer variety of food we saw in all the grocery stores. Aisles of cereals, countless types of ice cream and simply just the overwhelming amount of food choices! It was dizzying just looking at how many food to choose from. At the same time we were also very excited to try as many food as we can! After all, whether in England or the Philippines, we didn't have that much to choose from!!

Yummy Blueberry Clafoutis

So easy -- simply dump the blueberries in the pan, cover in vanilla custard or flan batter then bake! This French berry dessert - Blueberry Clafoutis is the perfect vehicle for your favorite summer fruit!  

Last Saturday the ladies at our church met up to celebrate the birthday of one of our friends. It was a big milestone in her life and we all wanted it to be special. Our hostess organized not just an ordinary party but one which involved cooking demonstration - the food prepared during the demo was what we actually ate. I was assigned to make dessert and guess what I made? My favorite French dessert - Clafoutis.

Yummy Strawberry Cheesecake

Deliciously creamy and fruity cheesecake with a luscious sweet-tangy strawberry sauce that brings this dessert over the top. Best way to welcome Spring!

Are you excited for Spring? I am so into spring nowadays!! I've had enough of winter already (though I must say I have no right to complain as this past winter has been pretty mild!)!! Anyway, when I got together with my favorite food bloggers in the world wide web and we decided that our theme for the month of March for our 30 Day Recipe Challenge would be berries - I had no hesitation at all in choosing strawberries as my featured fruit. After all strawberries are the quintessential spring fruit!

Slow Cooker Butter Chicken

The combination of spices plus a hint of citrus goodness make this Butter Chicken totally delicious!  Easy, simple, tried and tested recipe made in your slow cooker!

Every time our friend Samuel comes to the US for a visit he brings with him some delicious spices from his beloved country India!! One time he brought back with him nearly a kilo (2+ pounds) worth of authentic and homemade curry powder made by his mom. Wow! That was and still is, for me, the best curry powder ever, It was vibrant, spicy and made everything I add it to totally yummy! As a result, I have been cooking curry a lot and, as you can imagine, using it a lot, too. What I love about it is that it's so robust in flavor that even a mere teaspoon can truly do wonders to any dish that needs curry powder.

Cheese Tortellini and Pesto Soup

This very tasty soup is a huge time saver and great for those busy nights! No chopping or extra prep required to make this yummy Cheese  Tortellini and Pesto Soup.

It was just one of those nights when I needed to make dinner but I didn't have enough time. Our fridge had a lot of food in it but it seemed that everything I thought of making required too much effort, lots of ingredients involved and quite a long cooking time, Making Filipino or Asian food was out of the question as that usually required a lot of prep time usually in the form of chopping vegetables. What was a mommy to do?
