It is, officially, pumpkin season! Frankly, although we don’t have fall on Guam, I do enjoy the flavors of pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice. Something about the illusion of fall season, with its flavors, make everything much comforting to me. It’s also closer to the holidays! And if you don’t know, the holidays…

Easy Vegan Spicy Peanut Rice Noodles with Chili Oil
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you a new easy-peasy noodle recipe. If you’re anyone like myself, you probably love your food with lots of bold flavors. Let alone, choosing the right kind of food must have a combination of different taste profile and texture. One of the main things I look for, when…
Vegan Egg Fried Rice
Fried rice, like in many Asian-Pacific Islander household, is a staple. I, along with many others like me, grew up with rice, eggs, frozen veggies, and soy sauce as a meal. Now, I see it as a total comfort easy-lazy one pot dish. But back then, it wasn’t always that way. One, my…

Vegan Dubu Jorim (Spicy Korean Braised Tofu)
The first place my husband and I traveled to (together) was Korea. It was in the peak of the MERS outbreak back in 2015, literally, red alert when we were packing our bags for our flight. I was about to travel with a guy, I’ve only been dating for six months, and he’s…
Vegan Chocolate Strawberry Cookie Cake

Marketing, in terms, selling overpriced flowers and chocolates to gift a significant other or loved one. Romance, to me, is in the gestures and…
Vegan Pandesal (Filipino Bread Rolls Tangzhong Method)
As a kid, my parents had always made sure that there was fresh bread on the table. While they were not bakers, they’d make every effort to wake up early in the morning, before work, to drive to the nearest bakery and buy a loaf of bread or half a dozen pandesal. I…
Vegan Tofu Bistek Tagalog (Filipino “Beef” Steak)
One of my favorite easy Filipino dishes has got to be Bistek Tagalog. For those, who may not be familiar with the term “bistek” (bee-stek), it really just means beef steak in the English language. Bistek derives from the word “bistec” in Spanish, or thinly sliced beef. As a kid, I was a…
Gollai Hågun Suni (Spinach In Coconut Milk)
Gollai Hågun Suni is a CHamoru dish originally made with taro leaves and coconut milk. Taro leaves are a little harder to find (unless you grow it or know someone) and, growing up, I have always had it with spinach instead. To best describe this dish, it is often eaten as a side…
Vegan Shepherd’s Pie
There you have it, friends, we have officially entered the Holiday season. While I am, usually, known for making easy-peasy recipes that take one hour (or less) to make, it is always great to add a variety of food to the table. While making pies might seem intimidating to make, I can assure…
