My sister got this from a Southern States recipe book (I believe it was a Georgia recipe)… This is SO good — and so calorific! The calamansi will make the dish slightly sweeter. This is best made with lemons because of the grated lemon peel. I baked Lemon Squares for Christmas and it’s always one of the favorite treats in the family.
Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
CRUST:
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 tsps. grated lemon peel
1. Combine the ingredients in a mixer (with the paddle attachment). Beat at low speed for 30 to 90 seconds.
2. Press the crust mixture into the bottom of a 9″ square pan, using floured hands. Make sure that the crust is evenly distributed.
3. Bake at the center of the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until lightly brown.

When I made Shrimp Potato Salad for my ex-boyfriend (now my husband), he was very impressed. He loved the salad. Salads are so easy to prepare so that’s why I prepared this. I remember how I researched on the best combination for this salad. It’s a composite of a lot of recipes. You can also revise the recipe. Here it is.

I already wrote before on the history of Bibingka in my mom’s bake shop. Mom, my sister and I often helped with the experiments to come out with the best bibingka recipe. Here is Bibingka Especial, one of these Bibingka variations which originally came from “Recipes of the Philippines” by Enriqueta David-Perez, 1973 printed edition:
Ingredients
1 cup thick galapong
1/2 cup white sugar
2 tsps. baking powder
2 tbsps. melted butter (My mom used regular hydrogenated margarine, out of a tub)
4 tbsps. sugar for topping
3 eggs, well-beaten
1 cup coconut milk
3 tbsps. grated cheese (Mom used Magnolia or Kraft processed yellow cheese; I’m more partial to using goat cheese and salted duck’s eggs)

One of mom’s specialties in her Sally’s Bake Shop was Special Mamon or what Americans commonly call as Yellow Sponge Cake. Customers raved about the creamy and soft texture of mom’s Special Mamon. My sister shared this Mamon recipe which is reminescent of Goldilock’s special mamon recipe. According to my sister, this is Minna Picache Cruz’s Special Mamon recipe and a friend of Sylvia Reynoso-Gala. I hope you like it.

Pancit Molo is one of the favorite soup of my children. I think it’s the garlicky chicken flavored soup that makes it very enticing for children. The recipe is actually quite simple if you don’t make your own wanton wrapper. You can easily buy wanton wrapper at your favorite supermarket.
Follow this recipe
Filling
25 pieces 3″ x 3″ wanton wrapper
1/4 kilo ground pork (lean)
1/4 cup chicken, cooked and chopped (keep the chicken brot)
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup water chestnuts or singkamas, chopped finely
3 Tablespoons, spring onions, chopped

Baking a birthday cake can be a daunting task but that didn’t stop me from baking and show my labor of love to my 21 year old daughter. I begged off from icing a cake so I asked her “will blueberry cheesecake do?”
Fortunately she agreed. Topped with a lone pink birthday candle, my daughter made her birthday wish.
My blueberry cheesecake is not very sweet. Topped with ready-made blueberry filling easily makes it sweet. Actually you can choose any toppings for the cheesecake but the kids prefer blueberry.
Here is my recipe for Blueberry Cheesecake:
