I have been wondering what to add as my new post for this week. I have been a bit behind this month as there were so many things going on and this week is winter break for us so I thought I may not even be able to do any new post at all. Thankfully, I have quite a few recipes on draft form that I can pull out in emergency cases although some of them are just that - recipes and no accompanying photos.

Since hubby came back from India last December bringing with him a good amount of spices, I have been trying to think of creative ways to use them. Since rice is a staple in our family, I thought it would be great to use these spices to add extra flavor to the usual fried rice.

In the Philippines, like in Indonesia, Thailand and many other parts of South East Asia, chicken or pork cooked on a grill is pretty much the typical street food. In every community's street corner you will never miss a barbecue stand. Even in the tiniest villages, you won't miss the aroma of freshly grilled meat. Of course a favorite accompaniment to grilled meat is the Peanut Sauce.

Travel Feature: Cambodia - Angkor Wat

For anyone consumed by wanderlust, I highly recommend a visit to Cambodia's Angkor Wat. After all, it consistently tops the list of must-see destinations in the world!


After we got married, one of the first books hubby purchased for us was "1,000 Places to See before You Die." I must admit, we both love to travel and that common interest is one of the key reasons why despite our huge difference in personality and culture we have such a strong bond. Of course, I am certain it will not be possible for us to visit all the places recommended in the book but whenever we visit a new country - we take a quick look at it and see the travel highlights it features. Certainly, if you visit Cambodia - this is the top priority - a visit to the Angkor Wat complex.

Hubby and I are huge chocoholics so you can be sure there's always some chocolate hidden somewhere in the fridge for that moment when we have an instant chocolate craving. Naturally, I often use chocolate as a main ingredient for dessert because I can be certain it will always be a hit just because there's chocolate in it. Certainly, that's the case in this delicious No Bake Chocolate Cheesecake.
