Healthy Oatmeal Choco-Raisin Cookies

A Quest for My Little Chef and Me

My daughter has shown interest on baking at the very early age of 5. Well, at least, earlier than I did. She puts into practice what she learns from school. So far, she has brought me good recipes for Sugar Cookie, Fruit Jellos, and Fruit Salad.

We have been baking for a year now and has produced quite a number of brownies, cakes and muffins from scratch. Not all made it to the blog because it needs a little bit more of a perfection.

Kare-Kare (Filipino Oxtail Stew)

Kare-Kare is a Filipino peanut-based stew with a variant of vegetables, stewed oxtail, and occasionally tripe.  This is very popular on grand celebrations and gatherings. It is considered a special dish for a special occasion. So we rarely eat this. Especially for migrants who have settled in limited or non-Asian demographic locations. For those who have a peanut allergy, please stay away from this dish. I wish I could make it peanut-free for people with allergies, but it wouldn't taste as good.  So I do apologize for that.
