The Bakings of Ygoymom..

It's a dream for moi and hubby to finally have a cooking range and a good one at that! Indeed, blessings come to those who work for good. Thus comes this part of moi's posts.. bakes! and more bakes! pastries at the moment and then maybe to some more yummier main dish, pasta and so on.. i can go on with the possibilities.. but most important is the joy of being able to share the bounties that can be had with this Elba oven. :)


I don't have a formal training in bakes but then anything can be had thru the net.. learning is a process and being inspired by food blogs do help a lot..


Here are just some of the moi's bakes with acknowledgement for the recipes.. :)

eating to a healthy heart

 

 This bowl of concoction is what adults in the house (me, hubby and Papa) have started eating for weeks now. Its my own mix of old fashioned rolled oats, instant oats, low fat milk and fruits on the side. Salt and sugar may be added as to preference. Plain water may be added in place of milk. The mix of oats gives it texture, add some chopped nuts too.

Oats are a good source of fiber needed by our body, milk does us good but if you don't want the added calories go for low or non-fat, and fruits abound in our market, do yourself a favor by chowing down on fruits this summer..papaya, guyabano, melon, watermelon, pineapple, strawberries and mangoes. People would say fruits are expensive, but exchanging other processed food you eat in a day to a serving of fruit does more good. May not be an easy switch, but practice may lead to a healthy habit.. Cheers to Life! :)

i love my mornings..

waking up to a new day, thank you Lord..
list'ning to the sounds of Your creation...
being of service..
for all the wonders You have done..
Thank You Lord...

chicken mami!

as you can see on the date of this picture, it was during the New Year noche buena... the family opted for something different, rather than spaghetti or pancit..it was Chicken Mami!! and its not just your ordinary mami...the soup stock was slow cooked for hours composed of chicken back and pork spareribs with sibut (chinese seasoning), salt and pepper...then the other ingredients were also prepped up..pancit miki, chopped green onions, chicharon, toasted garlic, boiled egg cut into pieces, calamansi...assemble them in a bowl and pour in the soup...yummy!! :D

who am i.....

just like the song that keeps playing on my mind, one may ask who is ygoymom? me is a mom to two adorable boys, who quit her job with an NGO to care for her sons and make the best of writing about anything..

i love to write, dream that one day will write a book of short stories- cum- biography of my family.. my experiences growing up, encounters with family, happy and sad moments.. i have always been fascinated with my family genealogy..

always want to write about caring for my kids too, how breastfeeding has become my battlecry for newbie moms out there..it pays very much..once you decide to be a mother, immerse yourself in it..forget about your physical attributes for a while and indulge in the happiness of nourishing your children..inner beauty will always prevail.

why ygoy? i am an Igorot by blood and passion..i am passionate about my ancestry and will write about experiences here in Igorotland..
