Fluffy Pancakes

Tetetmum Pancakes topped with almond-chocolate coated bananas

I know the photo doesn't say fluffy but you just have to take my word for it.  Be mature and learn to look past the grotesque appearance.  Search for the inner beauty, so they say.  Enough of the rationalization, let me just say that homemade pancakes taste so much better than boxed pancake mixes.  There is no aftertaste and you are sure of what goes into the batter.   I have yet to perfect the shape and appearance but I will get there.  Maybe some day I'll get pancake rings to make the picture-perfect pancake.  But for now, this will do.  This is just the basic pancake.  While simple is yummy, you can also sprinkle some cheese, crumbled cream cheese or chocolate chips onto the batter (while one side is browning in the pan).  Up to you.  You are only limited by your imagination.  I encourage you to try this at home.  Who wouldn't love waking up to the smell of fresh pancakes, anyway?

Eggs Benedict

What makes for a perfect Sunday?  We start by wasting ourselves the previous night with some movie, chips and rootbeer.  Sleeping just as the sun is waking.  And waking just as the traditional household is preparing for lunch.  That is the perfect Silvannas Sunday.  And what makes for a perfect Tetetmum Sunday?  Preparing a hearty brunch!  It has to be special since it's not everyday that Naddydaddy and I get to eat breakfast together.  I had it all planned days ahead.  Yes, that's typical of me.  You can say that food is always on my mind, and I won't mind because it's true.  So eggs benedict it is.  

Churros Con Chocolate

I was so happy that I finally got to make my own churros.   This has been a favorite of Naddydaddy and mine and we never fail to order these however full we were back then when we were still dating in Manila.  Dulcinea makes one of the best in Manila.  Well, I really can't say if the taste is as good the ones they make in Spain because I've never been there but I do know that Dulcinea's is really good.  If I remember correctly, they're served plain and dunked in a really rich chocolate sauce that you can drink guiltily after you've finished the churros.  And guess what? I made them today! Naddydaddy said he demands to have a weekly breakfast of churros con chocolate.  I must say that I am pleased with the compliment.  I got the recipe from Food Network and I encourage you to try this one out.  It's easy peasy!
