They say that in any craft, you have to start somewhere. That even the masters once started as newbies. I’m far from being a master -and that’s okay. Some of my friends say they want to cook but wouldn’t because they’re not good at it. It seem so paradoxical because the only way to be good at…
Grilled Tempeh with Filipino Barbecue Sauce
Grilling could not get any simpler with Filipino barbecue sauce. With just four ingredients (three when grilling outdoors), you’ll have yourself a flavorful barbecue dish with very little effort. All the ingredients could be found at major supermarkets, if they’re not already in your pantry. The version of Filipino barbecue sauce I’m referring to is the street food…
TOP 5 TIPS: Vegan Hair and Skincare for the Summer
Aside from food, the vegan lifestyle extends to cruelty-free hair and skincare. But unfortunately, not all vegan products work great. This summer, I made sure I used only tried-and-tested vegan products that have never failed me. As we are in the midst of high and harsh temperatures, I thought I’d share these hair and skincare favorites with you. Below are…
Top 5 Tips: How to Care For Your Wood Cutting Board
I used to think that cutting boards are all the same. They’re a basic, flat surface to cut on and the only thing they need for maintenance is soap and water. Over time, I learned that they’re not all created equal -plastic cutting boards could harbor bacteria (contrary to some marketing claims that they’re “anti-microbial”), bamboo boards could dull…
Cookbook Crush: The Homemade Vegan Pantry (Review + Giveaway)
Chefs and cooks who make everything from scratch have always impressed me. I thought, they must have major cooking skills -and a lot of time in their hands! After all, who has the time and skills to make their own vegetable broth, bread, or butter? What luxury must it be to have homemade staples in…
Pili Nut Cheese Recipe + International Giveaway
Most of us have heard of vegan cheese made of cashews, almonds, coconut, even macadamia. These days, it’s no longer a surprise that vegan cheese exists, or good vegan cheese exists. I remember during my early vegan years, I would avoid eating vegan cheese because I thought it tasted bland and rubbery. Now, thanks to companies…
Cookbook Crush: The Oh She Glows Cookbook
I’m currently inspired by the cookbook, “The Oh She Glows Cookbook” by Angela Liddon. All of Angela’s recipes are simple and easy to follow. I’m particularly crushin on the “Summer Bruschetta” recipe featuring fruits that are in season like strawberries and cherries in yummy balsamic reduction served on sliced baguette. For some reason I thought balsamic reduction…
Top 5 Tips: Being Vegan Among Family of Omnivores
I’m the only vegan in the family and sometimes it could be tough to attend family gatherings and celebrations. I’m lucky in the sense that my family does not give me a hard time about being vegan and fully supports my Astig Vegan endeavors. But, I’m still saddened that they couldn’t jump into veganism especially if…
Champorado Recipe
Champorado is a chocolate lover’s dream. It’s rich, decadent, sweet, and a mild nutty. Nutty? That’s because the rice brings out a certain nuttiness to the porridge. Not to mention it makes it rich and creamy. I would say that it’s comforting for a cold season like fall or winter, but it could also be served cold so…
10 Vegan Filipino Dishes for the Summer
I used to be so amazed that the United States has four seasons. I grew up in the Philippines and over there we have only two -summer and winter. Out of the two, I preferred summer. I was known to be that girl who rather not have “aircon” (slang for air conditioner). Summer in the Philippines could easily go up…
