Cookies Unlimited will make you a cookie MONSTER!

Two weeks ago, I received a package from Cookies Unlimited. The first thing I noticed was the packaging. I absolutely adore anything *transparent* so the bag was a winner. And then I took the carrying boxes out. They were so very pretty! I appreciate nice packaging. I carefully opened the boxes and took out the cookie packs one by one. Presentation is everything, if you ask me. And these cookies - they were oozing with confidence and they're so very attractive to the eye!

When I saw that the cookies were thin. I knew that I would like them. I have a thing for cookies - I prefer big chewy ones or crispy thin ones - I like them in extremes. So here they are - all of them crispy thin. I was admiring each cookie and was thinking how much love was made into these cookies. I know that making thin ones aren't easy. And mind you, these cookies are consistently thin and round. I was impressed!

I have just recently took a liking to chocolate - yes, I am a newbie - it started in 2010 when I was pregnant with Kailee. So since there was the Lace Crisps Hazelnut Chocolate - I knew it had to be my first bite.

And boy was it HEAVENLY.....

I ~~couldn't~~ wouldn't stop. I was munching on it like crazy! My Panget had to ask permission - but I only allowed him 1 piece, the rest were mine - ALL MINE. And I didn't stop there. I loved it so much that after a few days - I ordered two more from Aubrey. Yes, that was how much I looooooved the lace crisp hazelnut chocolate!

Since I was on a *diet* I shared the cookies with my Panget and my mom. Sorry, if I like something I don't share. Hahahaha! I'm selfish with (actual) food, but all the rest - I am very giving. Hahaha!! (Basta pagkain - galit galit) My Panget instantly liked the cookies as well. He looked so funny because he had all the cookie packs open in front of him and was trying the cookies one after another. The kids were also following his lead - grabbing and biting the cookies. I was hearing compliment after compliment. After having 2 cookies of each flavor (and one of my lace crisps) he said that they were all very good. The kids thought it was a game, and loved the crispy cookies too! We enjoyed the sugar free crispy cookies but my Panget and I are not partial to sugar free treats - but I know that it's something those who enjoy sugar but can't have sugar will appreciate. My Panget's favorite were the Lace Crisps Dark Chocolate and the Chocolate Crisps.

Since I was in a *sharing* mood. I had my mom try some of the cookies. She really likes crispy thin cookies - and with the first bite, she too declared that the cookies were really good. I had her try the lace crisps Hazelnut too (just half a piece) and she liked it too! But her favorite was the Almond Butter Crisp.

So there - last week, I became a cookie monster because of the yummy yummy crispy cookies from Cookies Unlimited. Try it to believe, I promise you - you won't be disappointed. In fact you will be left wanting for more - just like me!

Aubrey - thank you for making these cookies! I appreciate the love and effort you give to every cookie that you make. Thank you!! I swear, the lace crips hazelnut chocolate - super duper good! I'll text you again soooon!!

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer. THIS is where we get out groceries! Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers! From Kailee to Connor to Shobe! Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now. But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery. We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up. Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'. Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders. Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations. They're a full functioning

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup. You may ask why? Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup! It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off. You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies! My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered. When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon. It actually made the preparation easier. I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it. Honestly, I don't think I can w

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen. I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us. I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat. I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was. I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe. She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil. So I stuck to baking for a while. It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook. When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up. There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking. It was there that I learned to whip something up with just ing
