About Me

- I am designing this blog for all busy mothers and food lovers such as myself. I have a full time job, full time online school, as well as being a wife, mother, friend, and so many other titles.... I am originally from the Philippines. I came to the US in 1978 when I was 5 years old with my mother. We never looked back. My mother was a very, very independent woman who raised me by herself. She showed me how to work hard and have passion. I have found that in all my travels, people and food always made me happy. I love to get together with friends and family to eat and enjoy each other’s company. I love creating new foods, or making creations from my favorite chef (Giada de Laurentiis). I will from time to time also cook foods from my native country but mostly I am more experienced with Italian and or American cooking than Filipino cooking. I find that Filipino cooking is a bit harder than Italian / American cooking or maybe it’s because I have never really had to cook my own traditional foods, I had my mom or my aunts to cook for me. Now cooking is my passion along with many other things, but cooking is what I think about 24/7.
