Longga-balls Pork Meatballs
Main or Appetizer
Longganiza is the Philippine's version of sausages. Each region or province has its own version. Salty spiced ones from Lucban, Baguio's sourish plump ones, slightly sweet ones from Central Luzon, etc etc etc. Longganiza is not only served for breakfast but other times of the day too. I remember lots of classmates who brought longganiza for their packed lunch. Just as long as there's rice, fried garlicky rice even, longganiza is good to go.
I found the original recipe in page 89 of Food Magazine's Step-by-Step Cookbook (2002, first edition) given by my SIL, +Anne Bautista. Actually, looking through my collection of recipe books, I have noticed that Anne and my mother-in-law, have given me quite a number since I got married. I totally understand their concern :D They were aware that their then new daughter-in-law wasn't really a kitchen mainstay.

Strawberry Shortcake - Japanese Style
Fruity Baked Dessert
Nothing beats greeting summer than by serving fresh fruit desserts to your family and guests.
Strawberries are really affordable nowadays so I decided to prepare Japanese style strawberry shortcake. As opposed to American style, Japanese style is lighter and "airer". Not laden with too much sugar, flour and absolutely no shortening, just a smidge of butter. Have even encountered some shortcakes with whipped cream from spray cans. Yikes!
This version is mainly a copy of +The Tart Tart recipe with some minimal refinements. http://www.thetarttart.com/2013/10/japanese-strawberry-shortcake/
I remember having Strawberry Shortcake scented erasers and stickers when I was still a wee one :) Did you have one too??!?
