Creamy Pasta Carbonara

This rich and creamy pasta is delicious and easy to make. It’s a perfect dish to make for a romantic at-home dinner and it’s kid-approved. I know that traditional pasta carbonara has egg in it but I grew up eating it this way ( the Filipino way) and I can assure you, it’s still delicious.

Greens with Strawberry and Pecans

Here’s a nice way to make your salad not boring! The nice sweetness from the candied pecans and the freshness of the strawberries make the best toppings for this salad. Eat it as a side dish or main dish, it’s up to you ! I even make extra candied pecans to snack on! Ingredients: -Arugula

Berry Crostata

This free-form pie is super yummy and easy to make that you don’t even need a special pie pan to make it. The pie crust is so buttery and flaky. I love making this pie when the berries are too sour to eat by itself. This dessert is super refreshing and pairs really with vanilla

Filipino Empanadas

These savory hand pies are made with buttery and flaky pie crust and packed with meat and vegetables. Empanadas are typically deep fried but because we try to avoid deep fried foods in our house, we bake them! DOUGH: 1 cup butter, cut into cubes ( if using salted butter, do not add salt) 2
