Easy Homemade Rustic Bread

I have heard about the No-Knead Bread craze and should have gotten on the bandwagon a long time ago but for some reason, I postponed and postponed. I was still scared of using yeast. However, I have wanted for the longest time to make homemade bread for the kiddos as I feel the store-bought ones are tasteless, not very fresh and often not very healthy. Besides, my kids love to have sandwiches for lunch so this finally motivated me to attempt making homemade bread.

Chocolate Orange Swirled Cake

We always look forward to the weekend, who doesn't you may ask? Well, we have a particularly good reason for this. Usually throughout the week we hold back from sweets (ok, I must admit we occasionally fail!). The reason is that in the Philippines I grew up having sweets or special treats only during weekends, specially on Sunday after lunch. Even a bottle of Coke (which was considered dessert as it was sweet) was only allowed during weekends. Naturally, I just adapted it for our home. Since I am the cook in the house that has been the unwritten rule.

Lamingtons

Mark and I got married in November 2003. The ceremony took place in the Philippines though the marriage registration itself was held in England. This enabled my family to attend the wedding. Since we were already in the Philippines, for our honeymoon we toured around the Asia Pacific region before we made our way to the USA where hubby was set to study. One of our chosen destinations, the one where we spent bulk of our time travelling, was Australia. It was a great choice as I had relatives in Sydney and we wanted to visit them, too.

Green Tea Cream Cheese Brownies

Hubby and I are both away from our respective families. His parents are in England while my family are all in the Philippines. Hence it's normal for us to often travel around the globe so we can visit our families. It is quite expensive to do that but we don't mind as we miss our family and always love to see them. Besides, it's a good excuse to travel to other countries either on the way or while we are in that particular continent.
