RECIPE: TKG's Brownie Balls with Cointreau Infused Cranberries

We may still be quarantined inside our homes but that doesn't mean we have to let go of our love for food. And if there's something positive that happened in our new normal, I'd say that most people (including me) have discovered the simple joys of spending more time in the kitchen.


Here's my take on a classic brownie recipe made special with Cointreau.



Ingredients:

Flour, 1 1/2 cups
Un-sweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 cup
Sugar, 1/2 cup (better if powdered sugar)
Butter, 1/2 cup softened
Eggs, 2 medium
Cranberries, 3 tbsp chopped
Cointreau, 3-5 tbsp (or just enough to soak the cranberries)

1. Soak the cranberries in Cointreau for at least 6 hours (better if overnight).
2. Mix flour, cocoa and sugar together.
3. Add eggs to the flour mixture and mix well.
4. Add the softened butter to the mixture by gently folding it into the batter.
5. Add the cranberries.
6. Grease the brownie pan (or in my cause I used a mini-muffin pan) with butter.
7. Heat oven to 200'F and set timer for 20 mins.
8. Place pan in oven and watch Netflix.
9. Bon appetit!

Yield: 36 brownie balls

Boracay's Hidden Gem: Mama's Fish House

I've always wanted to dine at Mama's Fish House in Boracay but wasn't able to for some forgotten reasons already. Then the pandemic happened and we're in lockdown or limited travel movement for almost two years. And guess what? One of the nicest thing to happen on our recent trip to Boracay was to discover that Mama's Fish House was located just outside the beach front of our hotel- Microtel by Wyndham Boracay . Talk about serendipity! 

RECIPE: TKG's Pan-Grilled Maya-Maya With Calamansi Butter Sauce

I chanced upon some fresh-looking Maya-Maya being sold near my daughter's school today so I bought some. I don't really have a dish in mind when I bought it. Maybe fried, sinigang ... And upon checking the fridge and pantry (no more olive oil), I decided to marinate the fish in calamansi to remove the fishy taste. I pan-grilled the fish being careful not to burn it. Then I minced some garlic, cooked it in butter, added some salt and poured the sauce on top of the fish. And its ready to eat. And oh, I also steamed some cauliflower as a side-dish. Bon appetit!
