Classic Pancake Recipe

In the past two weeks, mama seems to be craving for pancakes. She made pancakes twice this week at our store for our 3pm merienda. The first time I tasted it, my initial reaction was, “unsa man ni?!” (What is this?!). Of course, mama with her ego never admitted it didn’t taste good but even professed to everyone that she really loves the ones she made. “All it needs is sugar.” she said.

Never giving up, she tries making them for the second time. This time around, her business partner Nang BB, was visiting the store. She came just as the pancakes were done. Mama shoved her a piece for her to try. First bite and her initial reaction was “unsa man ni?!” (^O^)v I couldn’t help but laugh. (Get the recipe after the jump.)

All-time Favorite Brownies Recipe

There's nothing like a comforting dessert to cap every meal and you will never go wrong with these fudgy brownies.  Just bake and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!  Both kids and kids-at-heart will drool over these brownies.  I have made thousands of these, not only to serve to friends and relatives but even to sell as well!  It was a great Christmas giveaway.  A friend who bought boxes to give to her friends for Christmas actually received a special note from the recipient thanking her for the best brownies ever.  My friend was kind enough to inform me afterwards.  No doubt, it made my day.  It was a great start to celebrating the Christmas holidays.  I hope you experience the same with this recipe.  Enjoy!

Citrus (Orange) Cookies with Chocolate Chips Recipe

Orange Cookies with Chocolate Chips and Coffee

On my way back to one of my trips in Europe, I got hold of Jamie Oliver's Jamie's Ministry of Food cookbook.  I got it tax free but I wasn't quite sure whether it really was a bargain.  Regardless, I was impress with the chef's advocacy of teaching people how to cook at home so they can have healthier and more nutritious options rather than eating out or buying at convenient stores all the time.  According to the book, anyone can learn to cook in 24 hours.  And Jamie Oliver actually encourages his readers to pass on the simple recipes that they learn so that everyone can learn how to cook.  It's the same concept as paying it forward. 

While I don't really use this book as reference for dessert recipes, I was intrigued by one of his cookie recipes.  I tried it yesterday and you can get Jamie Oliver's recipe for Citrus Cookies after the jump.
