Hello everyone,

We’re back in slightly chilly Manila ( it reached 19 C on the weekend), a nice sweater weather and I LOVE it!

Had a great break during the festive season in Canada and we survived the jet lag without major drama, back to our routines now and I officially started baking again. As you can see from the photos we did our first family gathering in the New Year last Saturday, a wonderful opportunity to catch up with our close friends after the holiday over dinner in our place. Cooked up a storm as always and for dessert I’ve made my first batch of Mango cupcake with mango curd filling and cream cheese frosting  along with our family favourite Leche Flan, healthy Banana with chocolate chips bread and Monster cookies, so much FUN!!! The best part of the whole evening was a chance to have a cuddle from Beau Bear, my friend Yannie’s 3 months old son, he’s absolutely cute!

Last but not least, I would like to wish you all a great year ahead, LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH.
