Happy New Year! 2020 has been a challenging year to all of us, and I know we are all hoping for a better and healthier 2021. I want to share my last year's best nine. Although we really don't want to look back on what transpired in 2020 (because we really want to close that chapter), but I am still grateful... Yes, I'm grateful and thankful for a lot of things: Me and my family are safe and healthy (even though Covid19 is still present until this day), I still have my job (we all know that a lot of people lost their jobs because some of the businesses closed out), my small online business is still open and that really helped me especially during the pandemic.

| Top nine (part 1) |
When Metro Manila was placed under quarantine there are no other things to do at home: it's either you clean, organize, bake and cook. Well I did all of that... but that period really brought back my love for cooking and baking. It's my first time to bake (a cake) again after almost 9 years... Every thing actually has a story to tell. There are firsts, the return and the "imbentos" (new inventions).
Here are the firsts : Orange chicken, Shrimp Aglio e olio, Baked Salmon, Baked sushi and Custard cake (which was the most challenging to do). The returns would be the Puto with cheese bites and Siopao (last time I made them was during my college days) and Chiffon pink cupcakes. The "imbento" is the Bacon and Cheese wrap with pesto dip.
I also have a part 2 of my best 9 that is via my instagram account:

These photos garnered the most likes... ♥
2020 has taught us a lot of things... A lot of lessons learned... that small and simple things mean a lot... Time with our loved ones are really precious and we should always make the most out of it (life is short)...
Prayers and the Lord are our strength....
Wishing for a better, healthier and safer 2021 for all of us!♥
