DIY succulent key holder


Finish product

Happy first spring of 2017 earthlings!

Sorry if I couldn't go in depth with the DIY. I'm just writing to share our little project. In stores these things cost so much while we only spent $9 for everything. We recycled our old wood frame. We bought the hooks, succulent and the paint for the wood. This is so fun doing though it takes time! Perfect for gifts I would say.

First time making chocolate crinkles and pandesal


Things had been different, stressful and quite lonely.

But anyway, to ease things up I am just very happy and excited that our oven is finally working which means I can bake now.

Most days I cook meals for my husband and I really love making something for him and seeing him get full. But last weekend, he craved for chocolate crinkles and I wanted to make pandesal since I haven't eaten one for the last three years. How depressing, right? Well, if you are a Filipino we consume pandesal almost everyday.

This time it was different I let him do the mixing and kneading. It was my first to bake pandesal too. First we made our chocolate crinkles, it's a very simple recipe. It's perfect for making with kids. They will surely enjoy! Second, was pandesal I once made them at culinary school but never had the guts to make my own until today. I'm still trying to get the breads perfect. This is my first time making without any assistance from my chef but my husband was there to help me and do most of the kneading. It turned out pretty good for a first timer. I guess the only thing that kind of went off was the texture. The taste was there but it was not soft and moist as the ones I had back home, it was fun doing it, regardless.

If any of you have any experiences with pandesal, I'd like to hear tips from you! ;-)
Thank you!
