    3. Add the soy pancake mix, or if substituting, combine almond powder and baking powder, and stir until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
    4. Preheat your waffle iron and lightly coat it with non-stick spray or a dab of oil (optional, but may add calories).
    5. Pour the batter into the waffle iron and cook according to your machine’s instructions, usually about 3–5 minutes or until golden brown.
    6. Serve warm with fresh fruit, sugar-free syrup, or a light dusting of cinnamon for added flavor without extra calories.



    Nutritional Notes:

    • Low in fat and high in protein with the soy mix option.
    • The almond powder version is higher in calories but packed with healthy fats and vitamins.
    • This recipe is gluten-free if using almond powder and a gluten-free baking powder.
    • Can be made dairy-free by substituting skim milk with unsweetened almond or soy milk (adjust calories accordingly).

    Egg nuggets are a delightful twist on the traditional chicken nuggets — simple, satisfying, and packed with rich protein goodness. These bite-sized golden treats are made from beaten eggs mixed with breadcrumbs, seasonings, and sometimes a touch of vegetables or cheese to enhance their texture and flavor. Once fried or air-fried to perfection, they turn into crispy, golden nuggets with a soft and fluffy center that melts in your mouth.


    What makes egg nuggets special is their versatility. They can be served as a healthy breakfast, a lunchbox favorite for kids, or even a quick afternoon snack. They are also a great option for vegetarians who prefer a meat-free yet protein-rich meal. Whether served with ketchup, mayonnaise, or a homemade dipping sauce, egg nuggets never fail to deliver that satisfying crunch followed by the savory taste of seasoned eggs.


    Aside from being delicious, egg nuggets are also a nutritious choice. Eggs are an excellent source of high-quality protein, essential amino acids, and nutrients like vitamin D, B12, and choline, which support brain health and energy metabolism. When cooked with minimal oil or air-fried, they become a healthy alternative to traditional fried snacks — offering a guilt-free treat for both adults and children.


    Another wonderful thing about egg nuggets is their simplicity and storage. You can prepare a big batch ahead of time, freeze them, and simply reheat when needed — perfect for busy mornings or last-minute snack cravings. They’re ideal for people looking for quick, homemade comfort food that doesn’t compromise on nutrition or taste.


    In every crispy bite, egg nuggets combine the goodness of eggs with a satisfying texture that appeals to all ages. Whether you’re looking for a fun family snack, a creative breakfast idea, or a nutritious option to add to your meal plan, egg nuggets are a versatile and delicious choice that brings warmth and happiness to your table.

    Biko — Matamis na Alaala ng Pagsasama at Pista ng Pamilyang Pilipino



    Ang Biko ay isa sa mga pinakakilalang kakanin sa kulturang Pilipino — isang tradisyonal na matamis na kanin na gawa sa malagkit na bigas, gata ng niyog, at asukal na kadalasang may halong latik sa ibabaw. Ang bawat kutsarang tikim nito ay puno ng lambing, alaala, at lasa ng pagka-Pilipino. Madalas itong ihain tuwing pista, kaarawan, o anumang espesyal na pagtitipon, bilang simbolo ng kasaganahan, pagkakaisa, at pasasalamat.


    Ang biko ay hindi lamang simpleng kakanin; ito ay bahagi ng ating kultura at kasaysayan. Sa bawat barrio o lungsod sa Pilipinas, may kanya-kanyang paraan ng pagluluto nito — may ilan na mas gusto ang malapot at makintab, habang ang iba naman ay mas gusto ang may makapal na latik sa ibabaw. Ngunit saan ka man magpunta, ang lasa ng biko ay palaging nagbibigay ng pakiramdam ng tahanan at pagmamahal.


    Tradisyonal na niluluto ang biko sa malaking kawa gamit ang kahoy na apoy, habang hinahalo nang dahan-dahan upang hindi dumikit o masunog. Ang bango ng kumukulong gata at asukal ay kumakalat sa buong bahay, nagdadala ng amoy na nagbibigay ng saya at nostalgia. Pagkatapos nitong maluto, inilalagay ito sa dahon ng saging at tinatabunan ng makapal na latik — ang paboritong bahagi ng marami.


    Bukod sa sarap, ang biko ay may simbolikong kahulugan sa kulturang Pilipino. Dahil gawa ito sa malagkit na bigas, sinasabing sumisimbolo ito ng “pagkakapit-bisig” at “pagkakaisa” ng pamilya at komunidad. Sa mga handaan, ang pagkakaroon ng biko sa mesa ay parang paalala na ang bawat pamilya ay dapat magkadikit, magtulungan, at magkaisa sa hirap at ginhawa.


    Sa aspeto ng nutrisyon, ang tradisyonal na biko ay likas na nakabubusog at nagbibigay ng enerhiya. Ang malagkit na bigas ay pinagmumulan ng carbohydrates na nagbibigay-lakas sa katawan, habang ang gata ng niyog ay may natural na taba na tumutulong sa metabolism at nagbibigay ng creamy na lasa. Kahit ito ay matamis, kapag kinain sa tamang dami, ito ay isang masustansyang pagkain na puno ng lasa at pagmamahal.


    Sa kabuuan, ang Tradisyonal na Biko ay higit pa sa isang kakanin — ito ay isang alaala ng pagkabata, isang tanda ng pagmamahal ng mga ina at lola sa kusina, at isang simbolo ng kultura nating mga Pilipino. Sa bawat kagat ng biko, mararamdaman mo ang init ng tahanan, ang samahan ng pamilya, at ang tamis ng ating mga tradisyong kailanman ay hindi kumukupas.


    • 1 1/2 cup bigas na malagkit
    • 1 1/2 cup coconut milk
    • 2 cup gata (pangalawang piga)
    • 1/8 tsp anis powder
    • 2  cup sugar

    1. Hugasan ang bigas na malagkit at salain. 
    2. Ilagay ang pangalawang piga ng gata at kakang gata kasama ang anis sa isang kawali.
    3. Idagadag ang malagkit at lutuin sa mahinang apoy. 
    4. Haluin paminsan-minsan upang hindi dumikit sa kawali. 
    5. Kapag natutuyuan na idagdag ang asukal at ipagpatuloy ang paghalo hanggang ang asukal ay matunaw at ipagpatuloy ang paghalo hanggang lumapot.
    6. Palamutian ng latik sa ibabaw.


    PARAAN NG PAGLULUTO NG LATIK.

    • Sa isang kawali maglagay ng 3 cup kakang gata. 
    • Pakuluan ito sa mahinang apoy. Hintaying matuyuan.
    • Kapag malapit ng matuyo. 
    • Halu-haluin ito. Ipagpatuloy ang paghalo hanggang matusta ang  gata. 
    • Mapapansing magkakaroon na ito ng latik. 
    • Iwasang huwag masyadong tostado or sunog ang latik.

    Ang Ginataang Mais ay isa sa mga paboritong meryenda ng mga Pilipino na kilala sa kanyang malinamnam, matamis, at nakaaaliw na lasa. Ito ay gawa sa malagkit na bigas (glutinous rice), mais na butil (corn kernels), at gata ng niyog, na sabay-sabay niluluto hanggang sa maging malapot, malasa, at mabango. Ang kombinasyon ng gata at mais ay nagbibigay ng kakaibang halimuyak at tamis na tunay na kumakatawan sa lutuing Pilipino — simple ngunit punรด ng karakter at sarap.


    Karaniwang hinahain ang Ginataang Mais bilang mainit na meryenda tuwing hapon o bilang panghimagas matapos ang pagkain. Sa bawat kutsara, mararamdaman mo ang lambot ng bigas, ang butil-butil na tamis ng mais, at ang creamy na lasa ng gata. Ang iba namang bersyon ay nilalagyan ng evaporated milk o condensed milk para sa mas malinamnam na lasa, o kaya’y latik bilang pampatong upang mas maging espesyal.


    Bukod sa sarap nito, ang Ginataang Mais ay may mga benepisyo rin sa kalusugan. Ang mais ay mayaman sa fiber at antioxidants na tumutulong sa digestion at kalusugan ng puso, habang ang gata ng niyog ay may healthy fats na nagbibigay ng enerhiya. Ang malagkit na bigas naman ay nagbibigay ng kabusugan at lakas, kaya ito ay perpektong kainin sa mga oras ng pahinga o kapag malamig ang panahon.


    Ang pagkaing ito ay hindi lamang basta panghimagas — ito ay alaala ng kabataan at tahanan. Madalas itong niluluto ng mga lola o nanay tuwing merienda, habang nagkukwentuhan ang pamilya. Ang amoy ng ginataang mais na kumukulo sa kalan ay parang paanyaya ng init at pagmamahal sa loob ng bawat tahanang Pilipino. Sa bawat tikim, mararamdaman mo ang init ng tradisyon at ang tamis ng kulturang Pinoy.



    GINATAANG MAIS 

    Ingredients:⇣⤵️
    • 1 kilo na malagkit na bigas (hinugasan na)
    • 5-6 na mais na mura or 2 can kernel corn
    • 2 niyog (kinudkod) or 2 can coconut milk
    • asukal (Ayon sa panlasa)
    • 1 dahon ng pandan (optional)
    • evaporated milk o condensed milk (optional)

    Paraan ng pagluluto:⤵️⇣
    • 1. Pigain ang niyog at kunuha na 1 puswelong unang gata o kakanggata. Isantabi ang kakanggata. Kung meron coconut milk in can ay skip ang method na ito.
    • 2. Muling pigain ang niyog at sa pagkakataong ito ay dagdagan ng 3-4 puswelong tubig. Kung meron coconut milk in can ay skip ang method na ito.
    • 3. Gadgarin ang mais sa pamamagitan ng kutsilyo o gadgaran ng papaya. Kung meron corn in can ay skip ang method na ito.
    • 4. Pakuluin sa kaldero ang pangalawang gata at kapag kumukulo na ihulog ang mais. Skip ang method na ito kung corn in can, Pakuluin lang sa isang 2 cup na tubig
    • 5. Makaraan ang ilang sandali ay ihalo ang malagkit na hugas at isang can ng coconut.
    • 6. Kapag malapit nang maluto ang malagkit ay timplahan ng asukal nang naayon sa inyong panglasa. 
    • 7. Mapababango ang ginataan na ito kung lalagyan ng isang dahon ng pandan. Optional lang ito. 
    • 8. Kung meron pandan extract ay lagyan rin ng konting patak. But sometimes walang mabiling pandan leaves and pandan extract sa supermarket, ang ginagamit kong pambango ay vanilla extract. 
    • 9. Ihalo ang unang gata na piniga na kakanggata or isang can na coconut at evaporated milk o condensed milk (optional) kapag hahanguin na.

    SOYA with FRUIT NOG


    Makes 4 servings
    Preparation time: 5 minutes
    Cooking time: none
    Serves: 4 Serving size: 3/4 cup

    1 cup plain soy drink
    1 cup orange juice
    1 medium banana
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    8 ice cubes
    1/2 teaspoon ground allspice                                  

    In a blender, combine the soy drink, juice, banana, vanilla, and ice cubes until smooth. Pour into glasses and sprinkle with the allspice.

    Soy drink is a lactose-free, milk-like product that has been fortified with calcium and other nutrients to make it fairly comparable nutritionally to cow's milk. It smells and looks slightly different than cow's milk, so don't be surprised when you first open it! After opening, you need to use it within 7-10 days--try making more Soya with Fruit Nog, or pouring it on your breakfast.

    CARROT BARS


    Carrot bars are a delightful, moist, and warmly spiced dessert or snack bar that brings together the wholesome sweetness of carrots with the rich, comforting flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar. These bars are a close cousin to carrot cake but are typically thinner, easier to slice into squares or rectangles, and often served as handheld treats, making them perfect for potlucks, bake sales, or casual gatherings.


    The base of the recipe is a tender, cake-like batter made with freshly grated carrots, which not only provide natural sweetness and a vibrant color but also contribute to a wonderfully soft and moist texture. The batter often includes ingredients like all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, a touch of salt, and a blend of warm spices—typically cinnamon and nutmeg, and sometimes ginger or cloves for extra depth. The wet ingredients usually consist of eggs, vegetable oil (or melted butter), vanilla extract, and brown or granulated sugar. Some recipes may also incorporate applesauce or crushed pineapple for added moisture and a subtle fruity note.


    Optional mix-ins like chopped walnuts or pecans, raisins, or shredded coconut can be folded into the batter to enhance texture and flavor. These additions introduce crunch, chewiness, or a tropical twist, making each bite a little more interesting and personalized.


    Once baked, carrot bars have a golden-brown top with a slightly caramelized edge and a tender, melt-in-your-mouth interior. After cooling, they are often topped with a generous layer of cream cheese frosting—a luscious, tangy-sweet topping made with cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. The contrast between the creamy frosting and the spiced carrot base is what makes this treat truly irresistible.


    For a more rustic or lightly sweetened version, the bars can be left unfrosted and dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with a light glaze made of powdered sugar and milk. Regardless of the topping, carrot bars slice neatly into squares or rectangles, making them easy to serve and store.


    Serving Suggestions:

    Carrot bars are best served slightly chilled or at room temperature. They pair wonderfully with a hot cup of coffee or tea, and can also be dressed up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an elegant dessert presentation. They store well in the refrigerator for several days and can also be frozen for longer keeping, making them a convenient make-ahead treat.


    Ingredients:

    3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
    2 cups sugar
    2 tsps baking powder
    2 tsps baking soda
    1 tsp salt
    1 1/2 cups oil 
    4 eggs
    2 cups finely grated carrots
    1 cup crushed pineapple with syrup
    2 tsps  vanilla


    Procedure:
    1. Preheat oven 350F. Grease and line a 13 x 9 x 2 inch rectangular pan. Set aside. 
    2. Sift together the first 5 ingredients in a bowl. 
    3. Beat until smooth and well-blended.

    TRIFLE

    Makes 8 servings

    4 tablespoons granulated sugar
    3 teaspoons cornstarch
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1-1/3 cups low-fat (1%) milk
    1 egg, lightly beaten
    3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1-1/2 cups frozen fat-free whipped topping
    1 ounce pkg lady fingers cookies (about 24), each broken in half
    3 cups fresh raspberries (reserve 1/2 cup for topping)


    1. In a medium nonstick skillet, whisk the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add the milk and stir to blend. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture bubbles and thickens, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
    2. In a small bowl, combine the egg with 1/4 cup of the hot mixture; stir to blend. Add back to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to bubble, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a medium bowl; cool 5 minutes. Stir in the vanilla. Fold in 1 cup of the whipped topping until well blended.
    3. In a deep 2-qt glass bowl, line the bottom and sides with 8 ladyfingers, breaking some if needed to fit. Sprinkle 3/4 cup of the raspberries in the bowl and top with 1/2 of the custard. Repeat another layer of 8 ladyfingers, 3/4 cup raspberries, and the remaining custard. Top with the remaining 8 ladyfingers, 1/2 cup of the whipped topping, and the remaining raspberries.
    4. Cover and chill for at least 4-8 hours or overnight.

    NOTE:
    This recipe leaves out the rum but includes directions for making your own creamy custard. Ladyfinger cookies, sometimes called savoiardi biscuits, can be found in the specialty cookie section of some grocery stores and gourmet grocery stores, or sometimes in the freezer section of your grocery store. Fresh raspberries are the best, but an equal amount of frozen will work too; but don't thaw before using. This dish is best if made ahead 4-8 hours or overnight.
