Be right back!

This post may contain affliate links. read disclosure here

Be right back or “brb”.  Why have I not posted? Where are my recipes? My stories?

We’ve had a whirlwind of a schedule with our blessedly hectic few months.  We travelled to spectacular places, then travelled some more.  Then, I finally completed my essay for My Food Beginnings, an anthology about Filipino Food.   The stories are written by Filipinos from all over the world! Exciting right?  I also decided to cut my full time schedule to focus more on writing and cooking. Instant schedule liberation.  My new routine is still confusing but I’m starting to get into a better work flow now that we’re back home.

I also created my first ever downloadable eCookbook:  Filipino Food – The Three Essential Recipes every foodie will love for email subscribers! It’s free! yay.  Sign up here for to receive the book.

Oh and did I mention we’re planning a wedding?  We had about a month and a half left after traveling (two weeks as I write this) to plan the event, and that included shopping for a second wedding dress. That is a story in itself.

There you have it.  It’s good to focus on life and be busy!  Have I figured out all the kinks?  No.
What about income?  Will I make it as a writer, author, blogger?  I don’t know.

So…Stay tuned, sign up for updates, and we’ll find out together. Meanwhile,  peruse (ooh fancy word) the site, read stories and recipe posts. and Leave a comment.  It would be awesome to hear from you.
