Lasang Pinoy Sundays for this week is about Christmas Goodies.
I would have featured a few of the Christmas donuts that we had for the past two weekends but these were too “westernized” for me.
I have decided then to feature the butterscotch bars that the kids and I baked last week. This was in preparation for my Frugal Christmas theme. Yeah, even if I still have to practice baking which means I will shell out more than I have to, sige na, pangatawanan ko na 😀
Ok, I cheated.
I used a ready mix butterscotch/brownie mix (whatever) for this. I don’t know, it tasted like how a butterscotch bar should taste like. It was a bit, a teeny wee bit crunchy on top and soft and moist in the inside.
All sliced pieces baked from the 9 x 9 baking pan were gone before 24 hours were up (should I mention that we still had a pack of food for the gods given to us during that time). Maybe these were good to be given as goodies after all 😉

We love chocolates, these are one of our favorite kinds of dessert. These are bribes rewards for the children if they are able to eat the food on their plates. One of the more popular brand names in our household is the Reese’s milk chocolate peanut butter cups.
For this week’s FAVORITE Photo Hunt’s theme, I give you:
Reese’s milk chocolate peanut butter cups.
Feel free to get one 😉

As I have already planned to make personalized Christmas gift tags, I have also visualized what kind of wrapper I would use.
Yes, its WHITE.
White goes well with any color, doesn’t it? And this incidentally, is the theme for FilipinoMomBlog‘s Week 2 of the Fab Holiday Finds Meme.
Well white should go with any colors, especially the gift tags I made, so here are the inexpensive “Japanese papers” I bought to wrap my gifts in:

Saucy.
What comes to mind first?
For me, this:
Sweet and sour pork. Yes, a Chinese recipe but it has come to be a Filipino dish that we love.
I love this but honestly, I haven’t tried cooking that. Maybe because we haven’t had pork for a long time (except pork steak cuts for baon). I tried sweet and sour sauce with fried tilapia though.
That by the way was an order from Chowking 😉 Tastes good but a tad too sweet. I could do with more lean meat than fat and more vegetables in the dish.

Every Saturday, participants post photos based on a theme. The theme for this Saturday is BREAKFAST.
See a Filipino breakfast here.
Young and old alike, pancakes are breakfast favorites. From those plain pancakes to those fancy pancakes with add-on like chocolate chips or marshmallows on top, these are on the top of the list of must-haves for breakfast or even any time of the day.
Pancakes as my children’s heavy snacks served one cool afternoon 🙂

Join our weekly Tuesday Fab Holiday Finds meme at the FilipinoMomBlog.com.
This is the first round of the weekly Fab Holiday Finds over at FilipinoMomBlog.com.
For this week, the theme “any color” is what will guide us as we start off this fabulous Christmas meme.
Below is a more detailed version of one of the personalized Christmas gift tags I made last Sunday. I know it is not as fancy as the ones being commercially made but I still decided to push through with this simple project.
Yeah, I know some glue drippings can still be seen on the paper, bear with me, I haven’t done this for a while 🙂
Details for cost and materials can be found here, along with the other gift tags I have made.
