hey there! sorry, i skipped a month without blogging and i haven't realized it until today. school has made me that busy. sometimes i think it sucks, but hey, i chose this path, i have to stand by my choice. and the tuition my dad paid for culinary school isn't a joke. it's quite a LOT.
a lot of things happened in the past month - some ends, some starts, some trials, some triumphs, some losses, some hellos, some goodbyes. nevertheless, i am still here, and i like to think i still stand tall. positive thinking! it's what matters and it's what gets me going.
and here now is December - the season to be chubby.. oops! i mean jolly. don't deprive yourself from food. just don't binge. well, it's more like, do not deprive yourself because you'll only tend to binge once you lost control. and losing control is inevitable at this time of year.
i feel sad for those people who starve themselves on this happy season for an event before, during or after the holidays. i remember last year, a friend of mine refuses to eat scrumptuous food served to us on a mini-bridal shower because is on a strict diet because she has to attend two weddings over the holidays. sad. but funny she gained all the weight after. hahahaha :p
anyway, enough of the drama. i have been thinking of recipes i could share but i'm too busy to even touch my recipe book. so, i ended up searching the web for recipes easy enough for my dear readers to do for the holidays - with the inclusion of a packet of wheatgrass or two.
i have been making mostly desserts because i was in a baking course for four months. now i am in a culinary/cooking course the past month but we haven't started cooking.. in short, i will recommend recipes where you can sneak in a packet of wheatgrass. take note, i can only recommend, i can't share recipes yet because of time constraint. go find the recipes in the internet and include some wheatgrass in it. as long as you follow the recipe instructions, you won't go wrong.
what you can do are the following:
- cheesecake - either you can make the cream cheese filling green, or you can make a wheatgrass base. either way, having a wheatgrass cheesecake is easy and very possible. you can even have a wheatgrass base and wheatgrass filling! and maybe, even syrup too!
- polvoron - wheatgrass polvoron recipe can be found on the Easy Pha-max website, on the recipes tab. or just click here.
- pastillas - a green pastillas may look semi-yucky, but it's wheatgrass, so it would definitely taste good. and it's healthy.
- gelatin shots - clear or green gelatin with wheatgrass molded on shotglasses. a must try! and a first. you got it here first!
- cream puffs - i know i haven't shared the recipe yet, but try looking for it in the internet for the mean time. add the wheatgrass on the pastry cream to make it a green puff.
- muffins - instead of blueberries or chocolate chips, stir in a packet of wheatgrass and stir it a bit to create a marble effect.
