Lady E Eats

My sister went to Baguio, Ifugao, etc. last week. She brought home a bunch of goodies including this: It’s supposed to be a cheese bread but it’s filled with walnuts and dried fruit. It’s like a fruit cake inside. I didn’t like this. I like sweet and savory but this was just terrible. I like dried fruits as my grandma makes a mean fruitcake and she uses the same ingredients. I just didn’t appreciate this. It really tasted weird for me. The filling just does not go with the bread.

Ginisang Sayote, Repolyo at Tuna (Sauteed Chayote, Cabbage and Tuna)- SOY-FREE, GLUTEN-FREE, DAIRY-FREE

I've been spending a big chunk of my day studying and learning more about health, the mind and body and how my family and I can achieve perfect health. We are eating much, much healthier now than a few months ago. You may know that I suddenly developed a soy allergy so our house is soy-free. My son has also developed several allergies (well, actually, both him and I) so I've been very careful with our meals. We mostly eat at home and we only have a few restaurants that we go to every now and then. This is a mostly allergy-friendly dish with the exception of the fish sauce. You can just use salt but I insist that you use a good broth as that will give this dish the depth in flavor that it needs. This dish is cheap and fast and can feed a lot of hungry mouths.

As usual, I don't put the amounts of each ingredient...

Good Shepherd Ube Crinkles vs. Amira’s Chocolate Crinkles: Which One Gets My Thumbs Up?

Pasalubong - noun. Homecoming gift. Two pasalubong classics. Two different cities. One sweet verdict. Baguio and Tagaytay each have their own crinkle pride—Everything Nice Cake Shop and Cafe ube crinkles that I got from Good Shepherd (Baguio) and Amira’s chocolate crinkles (Tagaytay) . At first glance, they couldn’t be more different: one’s a delicate purple bite, the other a deep cocoa round. But do they both deliver on taste? Good Shepherd Ube Crinkles Technically, I got this from Good Shepherd, but the brand on the packaging says Everything Nice Cake Shop and Cafe. Pretty on the outside, but the first bite was a letdown. The sweetness is overwhelming, and the strong coconut milk flavor overpowers the ube. It’s too rich, leaving little room for the gentle, earthy notes we expect from a true ube treat. For us, it felt more like a coconut candy in disguise than a balanced ube crinkle. I had a hard time finishing one. I tried to finish it because I was ...
