This is one of the absolute favorite snacks my children love, Kraft Jet Puffed Mini Marshmallows.
At times they use these jet puffed mini-marshmallows in their hot chocolate drinks, which are just perfect especially when the mornings are chilly.
More often they just get a few scoops and put these in a small bowl for their snacks.
Now that we are exploring our options and starting to bake our own goodies, I think, these Kraft jet puffed mini-marshmallows are great as toppings to brownies. There are so many possibilities to have these in the baked goodies.
One time we even topped our pancakes with these yummy mini marshmallows.

Several months ago, we got “addicted” to a mobile game called Pro Tour Golf for Nokia moble phones.
My son was talking nonstop about golf clubs and golfing terms. We even visited several sporting goods stores to see how a club or a set costs.
We have seen several items being sold, Titleist golf, umbrellas, bags, shoes and clothes. Hmmm…golfing is not a cheap sport! That is one lesson learned.
The fascination with the sport faded after several months. We still play with the mobile game and maybe when we have more resources on hand, we would be able to afford to play this for real.

Having said that I am going to spend a frugal Christmas, I have one after the other, slowly getting the things I need to see my plan of action into a reality
I got several things to use to be able to afford baking goodies as gifts
Sure, I shelled out some but I know these are for long-term use so I am still able to save, I think
Anyway, I got a silver 9 x 9 baking pan which was not bought on purpose but rather as an alternative The nonstick baking pan I was setting my sights on was not in stock so I settled for the silver baking pan which incidentally, is the FilipinoMomBlog’s Fab Holiday Finds week 3 theme
Here is a photo with the butterscotch bars that I and the kids baked last week, cooling in the silver baking pan 🙂

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 😉

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.

Lasang Pinoy Sundays theme for this week is all about the “walang kamatayang” SILOG.
The more popular terms are tapsilog, longsilog and tocilog.
But now there are different varieties like hotdogsilog, Ces’ entry pusitlog, danggitsilog, spamsilog, cornedbeefsilog, friedchickensilog, hamsilog and anything and everything that catches the fancy of the one preparing the food or the one who will eat the preparation.
Imagination has no limitation when it comes to the silog combination.
Below is our all-time favorite Rodic’s tapsilog, which I also featured several times in my blogs with the tapa already flaked for easier chewing 🙂
Rodic’s tapsilog on our picnic mat.
When my hubby had our photo taken, our son didn’t look at the camera because he was busy eating his tapsilog. When asked why, he said he missed eating the combo 😉
