Puto is steamed rice cake that’s a popular snack in the Philippines.

This is how those seemingly perfect women do it. I should think so, who would have the time to actually make something?

The secret is instant!

Hope you enjoy! Drop by the local supermarket to get your secret weapon.

Philadelphia Classic Cheesecake

I made my very own cheesecake using Philadelphia’s Cheesecake recipe. This was my first venture into baking and I’ve had quite the beginner’s luck!

The recipe is quick and easy to follow, the ingredients are all available in your local supermarkets too.

You’ll find that along the way, you can make changes in the measurements depending on the amount of cream cheese you have available.

As for me, I only used two eggs with 2 1/2 cream cheese.
Ingredients:


  • 1-1/4 cups HONEY MAID Graham Crumbs
  •  1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 3 pkg. (250 g each) PHILADELPHIA Brick Cream Cheese, softened
  •  3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • eggs


Procedure:

1) Mix crumbs and butter; press onto bottom of 9-inch springform pan.


2) Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with mixer until well blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each just until blended. Pour over crust


3)Bake 40 to 50 min. at 350°F or until centre is almost set. Run knife around rim of pan to loosen cake; cool before removing rim. Refrigerate cheesecake 4 hours.


Prep time took me about 30 minutes. It’s best to use a baking pan for cheesecakes so that the end product will look more presentable than I have here. Despite the hard time I had trying to get it out of the container, it was a hit with my family. Go and try it yourselves! :D

Frizberry frozen yogurt. Around early 2010 when Cebu only had two froyo stores and Cagayan de Oro had none. I flew to Cebu intent on satisfying my cravings!

When I’m not cooking up something in the kitchen I’m eating so I thought about merging my eating and cooking habits into one blog. I already have a humongous backlog of food photos since my gastronomical adventures in 2008 ( Not countiing 2007 because I didn’t have any camera in those days yet!)
