How to peel and seed a tomato

"Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in fruit salad." ~unknown

It takes a little effort and time to do this, but it's fun and very easy. You can use this to your homemade tomato sauce, stews, pizza, salsa, or any dish that needs peeled or seeded tomatoes.

Pot

Homemade Chunky Tomato Sauce

"It's homemade, cheap and readily available" ~Karen Tandy 

Nothing can beat homemade food... It's inexpensive, delicious, fresh, and healthy. I'm really surprised how delicious it turned out. Try this and I bet you'll love it! You'll never buy canned tomato sauce again... unless you're busy? or lazy? to make this. :D 

Halloween party

In the happiest of our childhood memories, our parents were happy, too.

I'm having second thoughts about this post but I really wanna share with you the halloween party held in our home last week. Yes, I know it's too late for the halloween theme this year but... not too late for next year - *wink! ;) 

Lowell, my eldest, did not stop persuading me to have a party. During breakfasts and even during bedtimes he was talking about the party. So to make him happy, I granted his wish. I wanted it to be as simple as possible that doesn't cost too much money and only requires minimum effort and time! I'm not a creative person but because I super duper love my kids, I became one! From the decors to foods to costumes, I did it all! Lowell was my buddy in doing the decorations, he messed up all the stuff I bought! Hahaha! But he's the one who gave me the idea for the decor's design. 

I baked cakes, cupcakes and made some cake pops. Cake pops are chocolate or candy melt coated cake on a stick. I've never tried making cake pops before and this is the first time I tried doing it. It's a little messy for me and requires patience but when you see the result of your hard work, it's like reaching the summit of your Everest. I mentioned earlier that I'm not a creative person but really... I'm proud of my work. Of course! Yay!
