Summer is finally here! Yes, I feel the hot and humid weather is already in full swing. With days like this, who wants to turn the oven on even if the excuse is baking your favorite dessert? It's just not worth it sometimes, unless you don't mind sweating while you're baking. I do. So, I searched the internet for the best No Bake Desserts so we can still enjoy our sweets without having to sweat! Enjoy and please visit most, if not all, of these fantastic sweet treats!

Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos

It's summer time and as you know, no one wants to use the oven during sizzling hot days. Hence, the magical slow cooker becomes the numero uno kitchen appliance that comes in handy. This summer I intend to use it for making all kinds of food from appetizers, main dishes and desserts! Love that you can just dump all the ingredients in and voila a few hours later, you have the most amazing, moist and flavorful dish! 

Inihaw na Liempo (Pinoy Pork Barbecue)

In the Philippines, we are truly blessed with so many sunny days, perhaps at least 300 days a year (that's a guess) but growing up I can hardly remember having too many cloudy days. They only actually come when rain is about to pour, when there's a storm brewing or occasionally on monsoon season but they never last long. After a day or two the sun is back with a vengeance. That's because we are located  just a little above the equator which means we almost always get the sun directly on us. Believe it or not though, we take the sun for granted and oftentimes don't like it. Weird, I know, having lived in Michigan which has only about 60 sunny days in a year on average. I think it's because it gets too hot when the sun is out and, being surrounded by water entirely, it's truly humid as well. That explains why we try to avoid walking during daytime, if we can. Just a few steps and you'll be dripping with sweat....yikes.

3-Ingredient Nutella Brownies

Oh Nutella, isn't it one of the most amazing food invention? You can add this to any recipe (dessert, of course) and it just transforms it into something divine. This is why I love to experiment with it and use it whenever I can. And so far, everything I have added it into has become a family favorite, whether in a cheesecake or in cookies and now in brownies.....I wonder what next?

20 Father's Day Sweet and Savory Treats

I am so blessed to have a Dad who is a true and genuine example of a godly man. He not only spoke what was right and wrong; he actually lived it. I will not forget the many nuggets of wisdom I learned from my dad. He seemed to always have the right words to say for a particular situation. There was just no way we can argue with him or get away with a wrongdoing because he was always right. No, he didn't rule us with an iron fist at all; far from it for he is one of the gentlest most soft-spoken person I have ever met (aside from my hubby's Dad who is another wonderful gentleman). He corrected us with discipline naturally and for that I am truly thankful, but it was a rebuke that's tempered with gentleness and not abuse. Even as I have grown I can still remember his many wise words and how he made sure that we grew up doing what is right and pleasing before God. I still have the letters he wrote to me when I went abroad and lived far away from my family. These letters which showed his love for me, I will forever cherish.
