Hello, friends! As we move into summer here in Manila (and it seemed happen overnight, right??), my craving for oatmeal doesn’t diminish… but my craving for hot food certainly does! These carrot cake overnight oats are the perfect answer: you get your oatmeal fix AND don’t have to heat up the kitchen (or yourself!) to enjoy them. Better yet, they can be made in advance and in multiple quantities so you can have breakfast in a snap….
This easy, yummy (and healthier!) granola will put you back on top of holiday preps no matter where you currently are…
Howdy friends! How did it get to be the middle of December already?! I always have the best of intentions right after Thanksgiving… to not be behind for once on my holiday preparations. Yet somehow by the last week of school, I find myself stuck somewhere between “Deck the Halls” (not quite done but may be as done as it’s gonna get) and “making the list and checking it twice (I guess I need to actually make the list before I can check it??)…

Right now it’s hotter.
So, rather than strap a feedbag onto our faces and give a whinny, let’s find a more civilised way to eat our oats cold, shall we?…
The hotter it gets here, the more refreshing a green smoothie bowl tastes, especially after a workout! But I promise you, it’s fantastic even if you don’t work up a sweat beforehand.
I realize I’m late to the smoothie bowl train… what’s new? But in my opinion, this train is parked at the station, and smoothie bowls will never go out of style, at least not for me. First of all, a smoothie is just a drink… but a smoothie bowl… well now, that’s an EAT. …
These gorgeous muffins are vegan!
I’m back in the land of berries!!! Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries… I can’t get enough. As much as I love mangoes, nothing can compare to all this sweet-tart berry goodness. Just look at these beauties, doesn’t it make you drool??
So perfectly juicy and delicious!
So today we’re gonna have an East-meets-West, “tropics + cool climate = awesome” type of recipe. It’s the coconut blueberry muffins I presented in one of my cooking classes this past spring, but now with …
