I'M BACK!

Hey, foodies!

      Sorry I've been M.I.A the whole month. I really didn't mean to. But anyways, I wanted you to know that I've been getting my hands full with this:

         I just started this little business around 2 weeks ago with a Facebook page and joined IT Park's Summer Bazaar for a whole week. I baked everything myself and manned the stall alone from 5 - 11 pm.

 



        Since last Friday was my last day at the bazaar, I'm relieved I can finally rest a bit and get back to blogging. I sure have a lot of new things to share with you guys.

       But before that, do check out U.B.E on Facebook and if you may, follow us on Instagram and Twitter, too.

       U.B.E stands for Ultimate Brownie Experience. We specialize in WARM BROWNIE CUPS for take home, parties/special occasions, and pasalubong. Our brownie cups come in 2 flavors -- Dark Fudge and Red Velvet. Dark Fudge is made of dark chocolate and is a rich, classic concoction; while Red Velvet is laced with a cream cheese layer for a unique experience.

Dark Fudge

         You may wonder how it works... Simple! Just nuke it in the microwave for 30-40 secs (if you're having the Dark Fudge), or 1 min for Red Velvet. Then, add a scoop of ice cream, preferably vanilla, or whatever flavor you want and some toppings like a drizzle of chocolate syrup, some marshmallows, candy sprinkles, etc. Just go crazy with it!

        It's meant to be a sort of "DIY dessert" for you to add your personal touches to and enjoy it your way. The best part is, it's only for P45! This is perfect for sleepover parties, movie marathons or just a brownie cup party with your friends or family.

         I'm doing this little business since my allowance ended along with my classes. So, I hope you guys would support me on this. It would be a great help to fund my projects and activities for the blog, like my series collab with Issa Perez, which is far from done.

(Vlog Series) The Cooking Fashionistas: Episode 1

          Issa and I have been working on two projects together this year -- a blog series, When Food and Fashion Meet; and a vlog series, The Cooking Fashionistas. Our first post for When Food and Fashion Meet was published earlier this month, and now finally, the FIRST EPISODE of our vlog series is out! 

         So, what's this vlog series about? Well, if you can't decide which you love more -- food or fashion -- this is the perfect series for you! Basically, this concept is a product of Issa asking me to teach her how to cook, and me, asking Issa to teach me a thing or two about fashion tricks of the trade as well. Watch the video below and see if I'm right. ;)

        Lemme just fill you in on the recipe featured in the video and how to make it:

Ham, Mango and Cheese Quesadilla

w/ guacamole and fresh tomato salsa 

Ingredients:

1   pack          soft tortilla (up to you if you want 6" or 12")

1   small bar    Eden MeltSarap, grated

1   pack          King's Cooked Ham, sliced into half

2   whole        ripe mango, sliced

1   small stick  Magnolia Butterlicious

(for the guacamole)

1      whole   ripe avocado

1/2   pc        lime/calamansi

                   salt

                   black pepper

(for the tomato salsa)

5   whole    green tomatoes, de-seeded and diced

1   whole    red onion, chopped

2   tbsp       olive oil

1/2 pc        lime/lemon

                 salt

                 pepper

Procedure:

1. Make the tomato salsa and guacamole first:

          (for the guacamole)

              - Mash the avocado in a bowl with a fork.

              - Squeeze out the juice of half a lime or lemon on the avocado.

              - Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

          (for the tomato salsa)

              - In a bowl, mix together diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, olive oil  and lime/lemon juice. 

                 - Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

 

     2. Assemble the quesadilla on a plate in this order: 

                 

                        tortilla

                        grated cheese

                        sliced ham

                        sliced mango

                        grated cheese

                        tortilla

       3. Heat a teflon pan or grill pan or grill. Melt a bit of butter to give your tortilla that grilled look. 

        4. Cook quesadilla on both sides; at first, browning one side, and then browning the other until both are of crisp perfection.

        5. Slice on a chopping board and serve on a plate with guacamole and tomato salsa.

         Just 5 easy steps! If Issa can make it, so can you! :D

If any of you will try the recipe at home, it would be great if you could post pictures on my fb page: facebook.com/babeforfood

  For the fashion d-i-y, just visit my crazy little friend's blog, issaplease, and be amazed at all the wonders this girl could do to your wardrobe or style.

The Cooking Fashionistas Vlog Series

Hey, foodies!

        If you've visited this blog earlier this month, I just started a blog series collab with my good friend, Issa Perez of issaplease.blogspot.com, called When Food and Fashion Meet. Well, that's not the only collab we're doing... 

        We're also launching a vlog series together, entitled "The Cooking Fashionistas", where I teach Issa how to cook and she teaches me some d-i-y fashion tricks. She is after all my ultimate fashion guru. :D

          So, this vlog series is both for foodies and fashionistas. If you love to cook in style or love looking as good as the food you eat, or if you love cooking or food as much as fashion, this show is for YOU! 

        Fortunately, for this project, we have our great friend, Ejay Williams, to help us out with the shoot and even offer us his beautiful home and kitchen to cook at! 

          Hope you'll like it! Please do watch for it this week. Thanks! :D
