Celebrating our 12 Years of Marriage with Gluten-Free Goodness

Gluten-free products from Glutino makes our summer snacking so much easier and healthier.  Each of us have  our own favorites when it comes to  Glutino brand.  My kids love this  chocolate vanilla creme cookies.  I get this every month just for them, they both love this!  The moment the box arrive, they dig in and l;ook for these cookies so it doesn't last long in our kitchen.

My husband love  bringing this at work.  One pack of this  serve as his snack at work during break time.  He love these blueberry filled breakfast bars.  He just wish that there's more to a box than 5 bars lol.

This tortilla dippers are the bomb, they were so good.  They were good with tomato and cucumber salsa. 

It made our couscous dinner taste even better

This rosemary and olive olive oil crackers just became one of my favorites.  It's perfect for the  tomatoes and cucumber salsa that I make for snacks.  

What I love about it is that, it is not too saltym un fact it has a hint of sweetness to it.  The rosemary in it just  makes it sm,ells so divine when you open the package.

Another family's favorite is the double chocolate brownie.  I mean who doesn't like brownie? With gluten-free brownie, you won't feel the guilt when you bite into it.

My ten year old  pastry chef wannabe baked this for her brother.  She is not crazy about brownie but she knows that her brother does.  She added  cashew buts in ut and topped it with  the coconut  that she toasted.  

She sliced the bronies into small trinagles to control the portion that her brother is eating lol.

Look how tempting these brownies looks.  The addition  of  the cashews  is what I love.  Oh the toasted coconut on top also add a different twist to the  taste which is really nice!

She even make a heart-shaped one and put them in the middle.  How sweet!

She also voluntweered to bake us a cake on our 12th year anniversaryusing the decadent chocolate  cake mix that we received from Glutino.  

When it comes to baking, I trust my daughter   more than I trust myself, lol.  I am just glad that I am allowed to be around  in the kitchen now when she bakes because I worry a lot.  Before, she wouldn't let me see what she is baking because everything has ti be a surprise.  I told her that I need to be there to document  her work and so glad that she got the point and now I am allowed to take puctires althoug I am still not allowed to help.

She whip up an icing  from scratch which I am truly impressed.  I have never done that so as a Mom, I am a super fan of what she does.

I sggested to sprinkle of the instant coffeee mix that we have in the kitchen which she did not  object.  It turned out great!  The coffee  added a great twist to the flavor.

I think  that if  I could have had the resources that my daughter has now, maybe just maybe), I could have developed  an interest in baking.

Before, our kitchen will end up in a big mess after she bake something but now she is learning.  She cleans up after she bakes!  My little sweetheart is really growing up!

I wish there is a summer camp  for baking that she could attend to.  I think, she would further develop her passion in baking.  She learned  her technique from wahtching the cooking shows on TV.

She was not satisfied of the  writing that she did on top but I thought it's pretty neat.

Here's an interesting fact about my daughter.  She seldom eat what she bakes so I was so surprised that she ate  few sluices of this cake!

The cake was bake to perfection.  It was moist, very soft, and delicious!

I kind of wish we have extra box of this mix coz now I want a slice lol.

I am so grateful that  I am given an oportunity to work and collaborate with Boulder Brand.  Glutino is one of my favorite brand that they carry.

Crabs Cooked in Coconut MIlk

During our 11th wedding anniversary,  we went to Strip District and  shop at places we have never shopped before.  We went to Wholey's, bought some seafood and ate lunch there.  One of the  few seafood that we bought are these crabs.  After getting hooked to eating crabs again  during our vacation in Ocean City, Maryland this year, I have to have my fix for seafood lol.  I cooked this  in coconut milk, onion, and lemon grass.  It was fulfilling

 I prefer eating crabs at home because they are messy and requires work lol.

 I know, it is obvious in my face that I feel like in heaven just looking and smelling at this sumptous crabs I am holding.

 Just looking at the pictures makes me hungry again.

Just remember....

that a little bit of this

and a little dash of that

makes a sumptuous life...

so Spice Up Your Life.

Happy Anniversary 365/282

He said "Hi", She said "Hello" and the rest is history.

Today he said:

"My most heartfelt thanks for making my life complete.  

Every single day with you has been amazing."

I replied:

"It makes me realize, once again, how  lucky I am

to know that the one person I can count on,

the one who will always have my back,

Is the one person I love most in this world."

• I had a bad migraine  ever since I woke up this morning.  What a luck on our  wedding anniversary but with the help of my excedrin, it went away towards the end of the day.
• We gave our third down payment for our porch contract, a whopping 7k, whew.  Our  bank account is drain again wahhh.  We still have the last payment of 5k+ after the  reno is done.
• Our good friend Dan invited us over for a dinner  at Defilice Bros Pizza.  Our plan was to go to the mexican resto  but then he invited us so we just went to the pizza place.  That was very nice of him to treat us during our anniversary.  Thanks Dan and Amber.
• We visited Dad  after our dinner with the McCabe's.
