We are loving the cool weather. Though the hazy cool weather is making a lot of people sick with asthma, pneumonia and other respiratory illnesses, I must say this is my kind of weather.

Perfect time to be outdoors savoring the cool air but we have no place to go where the air is clean. The kids are sorta going through cabin fever but we ain’t going to the malls this time.

The fans are not turned on the whole time and that includes the ceiling fans.

I just wish the asthma attack on the little boy will not make a comeback after the New Year, booo! to those who light firecrackers, making the air more polluted than ever.

We love fro-yo. I think this is far better than ice cream when it comes to health benefits though a scoop (or more!) of ice cream is one that I will never say “no” to.

Not only having fro-yo or frozen yogurt is the “in” thing, people flock to these places to conduct their businesses too. One time I heard someone pitching term life insurance rates to another. I was surprised of course, since most of these meetings usually happen in coffee shops.

I like fresh fruits on my fro-yo. Too bad this one had canned blueberries but it is nonetheless yummy.

The season of gift-giving is finally here and I haven’t bought a single gift for giving yet. I mean, I have, for my children but to those outside my nuclear family, there’s none yet. Not even grocery stuff for my parents, maybe new books for my niece and pull up bars for my brother who wants to have a bigger bod.

These days I give gifts that are not too expensive but can be appreciated. Like baked goodies which I personally bake. These can be eaten and best of all, I labored to make these myself.

So there. Frankly, I don’t understand why people call me frugal because I give these things as gifts.

I love multi-grain breads. Wheat bread too. Below is a wheat bread with some kind of seeds (can’t remember what was written on the label, this was given by the MIL a long time ago) on the crust. Soft inside and a bit crusty on the crusts (duh, what am I saying).

Anyway, this loaf was from a bakeshop that bakes and sells Europe-inspired baked goodies. The owner is a German married to a Filipina.

Yes, I’m cooking up something new and I’m excited.

I hope I can keep up with all the online sites I currently have.

But, but… I have to be doubly hardworking and stop going to time-stealer sites like Plurk, Facebook and Twitter. Not that active in twitter but I just love reading the links of the news agencies I follow.

This is my Filipino version of Cajun Chicken Pasta that I got from The Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond‘s blog. Now, If you don’t know who she is, quick! do click the link to her name and believe me, you WILL spend hours reading her blog.

I know, my pasta pales in comparison with hers, LOL, but hey, the kids got clean plates and even asked for seconds. I used Italian seasoning (combination of different herbs) instead of Cajun seasoning which I’m not sure can be found in the supermarkets. I must look harder next time. We have had this several times since I first tried to cook it.

Now excuse me while I go looking for hot tub covers online 🙂

Ingredients here just in case.
