I love joining photo memes because I have tons of photos to share.
Two photomemes on food that I try to religiously join are Food Friday and Lasang Pinoy Sundays.
Sometimes just by looking at the food photo entries make me want to get some diet pills for myself, teehee!
I am no whiz in the kitchen. I am a struggling cook who wants to serve not just delicious but nutritious food to my family.
So now, I’m off to the kitchen to start that lunch 🙂

I am on the lookout for the perfect chocolate chip cookies recipe or the perfect fudge recipe.
Why? I plan to give these away to relatives and friends.
Because I am determined to practice “Frugal Christmas” though of course, because I have forgotten the baking lessons I have had eons ago, I may even be spending more than I care to if my baking forays will end up as failures.
Not to mention getting those necessary equipments for these experiments mean another extra dip in my already dwindling resources, I am still determined to do these and not shop for other gifts besides those for my students.
Below is something I made that comes from a recipe for blueberry muffins but I decided to put these in mini loaf pans so the kids can have slices instead of muffins. Turned out ok, I guess since they ate everything. Or maybe they were just hungry.
If these are not too good to give away, if they are edible at least and not life-threatening ( 😀 ), my kids would be more than willing to have these for themselves. I know how they loved baked goodies.
For those people I know who are eternally looking for the best fat burner, hah, get ready to eat these baked goodies once I perfect the procedure. As if.

I participate in the Food Friday food photo meme every Friday in my other GreenBucks blog which I feature food that we have had, either bought and eaten in a restaurant or prepared and cooked at home.
If I have enough time, I would prefer trying new recipes for my family instead of the usual food preparation that we have for our daily meals.
One thing that I would want to try would be baking.
We do bake sometimes but we just use the ready-mix cookie recipes in boxes so I do not particularly enjoy these because the mix is just too sweet. Matter of fact I have a container of brownie mixture waiting to be baked. I would rather do some measuring and mixing even if I have to buy the materials for this.
I have always been fascinated with baking, having enrolled in a baking course one summer many, many years ago. I have tried doing chiffon cake, cookies, mango pie, dough for pizza and siopao and a host of other things like making sugar flowers and decorating celebratory cakes.
One thing that I would like to try would be muffins and cupcakes for my children’s snacks. Loaf bread would be nice too, as well as cornbread dressing or maybe, pandesal.
No, I do not want to be a pastry chef because that would probably be the farthest thing in my mind. I just want to try to do things from scratch so that I can serve healthier food for my family.
And besides, serving warm and freshly baked goodies would be great, isn’t it?
