Video: Happy 50th Birthday Tito Tony

Wow, this is one of the fastest video edits I've done :) Well, for one I'd like to be able to surprise my uncle with this on the day of his birthday - which is today! 50 is partying all night with your family and friends and still being able to get up the next day to stroll a long time in the mall...naks!  Of all the funny birthday messages, I think this one truly fits the bill: "You’re not 50. You’re 18, with 32 years of experience!" Happy birthday Tito Tony!!! We miss you already! God bless you always! :) Here's the video on Youtube: And...

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy heart's day everyone! Today marks my first day of being a "Youtuber" and hopefully a more prolific vlogger in the days to come :)  I'm sharing the love through a video of our wedding album...oh, and today is already our 12th Valentine's together.

Cast Iron Skillet: Cheesy Zucchini Omelette

Here's a quick, healthy, hearty and meat-free (not dairy-free, unfortunately) recipe for your first Friday of Lent. It is so easy to make and tastes really good too.

Win! :) Ingredients: 1 cup grated Zucchini 3-4 medium eggs 1/4 cup chopped onion 1 tbsp butter or 1 tbsp olive oil 1 small sliced...

Slow cooker meal: Tasty's Baby Back Ribs!

One of the things I was most thankful for last Christmas is this: receiving a "kabuhayan showcase" worth of gifts from my dearest ones to complete my little kitchen. Yahooo!!! :) Seriously now, while I was thinking of slowly building up my cooking appliances and other paraphernalia, there I was, a completely surprised recipient not only of a cast iron skillet (supposedly the hubby's gift but I was the one who got it from the store hahaha) but also...

A trip to Divi-landia

Contrary to how I perceived it when I was a lot younger, it seems that going out with friends as an adult can be much harder to plan and actually do. At 30-something we all have lots on our plates - a husband or a significant other, a kid or two, managing the home, trying to get something done..you get the drift :) So when we finally did have the chance to get together, we were a truly ecstatic! Oh wheee! And, it's not a casual Friday night dinner...
