when the mood to make something sweet and fast for a visit with friends strikes, Tiramisu is my go to recipe. It's fast, easy and no baking required!

- 2 packets dream whip and enough milk required to make 2 cups of whipped cream
- 1/2 cup powdered cocoa
- cup strong black coffee
- 2 cups shaved chocolate or chocolate chips

how to:
- pour coffee in shallow bowl, dip each lady finger and arrange it in a single layer on an 8x8 pan
- pour half of whipped cream on top and sprinkle with shaved chocolate or chips
- lay down another layer of coffee dipped lady fingers
- pour the remaining cup of whipped cream and top with remaining chocolate
- with a small sieve, dust cocoa powder all over the cake
- refrigerate until ready to serve

whole-y moley wheat bread!!!

 I have been trying to master making bread using whole wheat flour, my first attempt was a complete failure even though I followed the recipe exactly. I don't know where I went wrong but the 'bread' didn't rise even after a couple of hours. I still went n to bake it and though it was edible to texture was not fluffy as shown in the you tube video tutorial but very dry and crumbly - almost like the puto seko of my childhood...  I continued to search for recipes and finally decided on combining methods from 2 recipes - and it was a success! Whole Wheat Bread Loaf: ingredients: - 2 1/2 cup whole wheat flour - 1 cup plus 2 tbsp water - 1 tsp yeast - 2 t tbsp oil (I used olive oil) - 1/4 tsp salt how to: - bloom yeast in lukewarm water about 5-10 mins or until frothy - add half cup of flour, mix until combined and set aside for about 30 mins. The mixture will rise and be frothy - add the rest of the flour and mix just until combined, rest again for 30 mins -  turn the dough ...
