I have been searching for inspiration for an original avocado recipe since I got notice for the Avocado League Blog Tour. But really, how original can one get with an ingredient that, in my opinion, is best consumed fresh and uncooked? I truly love avocado in all it’s fresh glory. I just can’t imagine subjecting…
This is my entry for this week’s Lasang Pinoy Sundays, which features photos of Filipino foods or foods cooked up by Pinoys. This week’s theme is Sour. While some people shy away from strong tastes such as sour, we seem to be drawn to it. Why, even when something doesn’t seem quite good enough to…

I don’t know why, but the steet bought juice was always so much better than the known to be hygenically prepared juice from home. Today, I make this when…
