Before I give you the recipe to one of my favorite childhood snack, let me show you the new kitchen items that I received from Ozeri. First is the double wall thermo glass . I love these glasses, because they are heat and shatter resistant so you can also use this for hot coffee or tea. The double wall design is created to keep your hands cool with hot drinks and free of condensation with chilled beverages. Now, most regular glass is not microwave safe but this is an exception. You can try it for yourself, I did and I was amazed.
The milk frother is fun to have especially if you have kids like my son who loves milk and milkshake. I had a set of this with pitcher before and my daughter uses it a lot to make her brother something special for his milk treat. This is a petite gadget and yet powerful. It whips up foam in as little as 10 secs. If you love cappuccinos, lattes, espressos, hot chocolates, shakes and frappes, this is ideal for it. The set includes an egg beater to whisk eggs, soups, dressings, sauces and other non-solid food items, and a propeller-shaped attachment for mixing cocktails.

The last but not the least is the wok. I have had their wok before and loved using it everyday when I cook but just like anything else, it gets worn out especially if you use it lot like I do in my kitchen. I am glad that I have a new one.
What I love about this wok is that it delivers unprecedented non-stick performance without releasing harmful fumes or toxins at high temperatures. It is scratch resistant and I love that it is super easy to clean. The depth of the wok is a great advantage to me because I hate splatters all over the counter.
I always make sisig, a favorite Filipino dish. Since my son can't handle spicy food, I always make sure to get him a separate dish before I add the peppers. Sisig is great to eat with rice. You can check the link for the recipe.
Before I give you the recipe for polvoron, here's a little info about this yummy treat. Polvoron is shortbread-type of cookies made with a soft, crumbly mixture of toasted flour, powdered milk, sugar butter, and nuts or any other seeds that you like. In the Philippines, they normally use peanuts because it is the cheapest nuts you can buy but you can use just about any kind like almonds.
You will need the following:
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 cups skimmed milk or powdered milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup butter, melted
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp flax seeds
- 1/2 cup chopped and toasted almond.
Procedure
- In a big bowl, add the flour, skimmed milk, and sugar. Mix it well. Mixing the three ingredients will eliminate the issue of the milk forming into lumps when in the pan.
- In a heated wok, toast the chia and flax seeds.
- Add the flour mixture and start mixing it until it is toasted.
- Add the toasted almonds.
- Pour in the butter and mix it well.
- Turn off the heat and transfer it to a bowl and let it cool.
You can put it in a mold and wrap it for future consumption. I just put it in the jar because I don't have a wrapper. I love snacking on it with my coffee or tea. To purchase any of these items, visit the links below:
