Do you have picky eaters at home? I do, and as a chef, it seriously dissapoints! If it were up to me, everyone in my home would have an adventurous palate. But even I can't control people's culinary preferences. However, I can influence them! Luckily I've crafted a recipe that satisfies both mature and youthful taste buds alike! With that said - how do you feel about carbonara pasta? Most people like this classic Italian recipe because it has simple yet satisfying flavors,

Ok guys, I apologize in advance about how many Spain references I will be making in my upcoming blogs. I can't help it though, I just got home from my honeymoon not too long ago and it was literally something out of a dream. I will say that the food was incredible and not so incredible. Just like home, there were good restaurants, great restaurants, and terrible restaurants. Prior to going to Spain, I heard (and read) from many sources not to eat in or near La Boqueria in

Have you heard of Big Man's World? If you haven't PLEASE Google them or check them out on Pinterest because they have delicious simple sweet treat recipes that fall under the clean-eating category!

Ok guys just in case you didn't know, I'm Filipino. And by nature we LOVE to eat. Growing up, we never had to worry about running out of food because my parents were on point about making good food a priority. Fortunately for us, 7 times out of 10 my parents cooked up nutritious meals that tasted pretty dang good. I owe much of my mature palette to them. Now, being a chef I clearly have a strong affinity towards food in general. And as much as I love Filipino food, ironically

Hey guys! Guess what? As luck would have it, I wrote this blog post as I celebrated my honeymoon in the Mediterranean! Crazy, right? You're probably thinking, "Why is she blogging on her honeymoon?" As luck would have it, we had a quick stop en route to Granada after leaving the beautiful Balearic Island of Mallorca. So fortunately for me (and you) I was able to get a quick blogging session in! Life in Mallorca is anything but mediocre! We stayed in Palma, where the soft is
