THE BRIGHT SPOT

Food. Travel. Bargain finds. Random thoughts. A bright spot for sharing ideas and starting conversations!

Baked Creamy Mushroom Chicken

01.31.2014 by Leah //

It's been a while since I shared a Saladmaster recipe.  In case you don't know yet, I partnered up with my sis-in-law Juvvy 2 years ago so we can buy a Saladmaster cooking set for ourselves.   The set was a very expensive one, but we managed to fit it into our budgets by splitting the items in the set, thus splitting the cost too.  We got 3 items each.  Since then, I've been ...

The 3-Step Tomato Basil Pasta

07.18.2013 by Leah //

This is probably the easiest pasta dish I've made so far.   I've read a  lot of  recipes for Tomato Basil Pasta but this is the only one that appealed to me because aside from using ingredients that are readily available in the grocery or your kitchen's pantry, there are only 3 steps to follow to make it!  And what's more, you'll be amazed at how close the taste of this pasta ...

Pasta in Olive Oil and Spanish Sardines

03.14.2013 by Leah //

This recipe was inspired by the Angel Hair Pasta with Spanish Sardines and Broccoli that my sis-in-law, Juvvy, prepared during my short stay in Cebu.  She paired it with Hungarian Sausages.    It was so good I promised myself I will make one home for AJ. And so, armed with a bottle of Spanish-style Sardines that was given to me as Christmas gift, plump tomatoes and basil ... READ MORE

Easy Bacon Pesto Pasta

10.08.2012 by Leah //

My family and relatives love, love my bacon pesto pasta and they always ask me to make one whenever there's an occasion, or simply when they are craving for it. Did you know that it takes only two (2) ingredients to make my mean pesto sauce? And because I'm feeling happy today I'm gonna share my secret recipe with you.  There's nothing magic about it, really, and yet ... READ MORE

Hot Dog + Pork and Beans Medley

10.06.2012 by Leah //

Our breakfast last Sunday: My dad first made this recipe and we used to have this as breakfast back when I was still single. So last Sunday, instead of making the usual hotdog and scrambled egg combo for breakfast, I pulled out a can of small pork and beans from the pantry to make my dad's exact recipe.    I used my Saladmaster 10-inch sauce pan for this. All you ... READ MORE

How to Clean your Saladmaster Cookware

08.04.2012 by Leah //

One question that I asked our Saladmaster consultants before deciding to get my Saladmaster cookware was how to clean these titanium steel babies.  If the method is going to be different from that of ordinary cookware, I might have some misgivings.  Ate Jane assured me that it's not gonna be an inch different from the way we clean our cookware and somehow that sealed the ...

You'd be surprised at how simple it is to make this chicken dish and yet wow your family and friends with its superb flavors.    All you have to do is marinade a freshly-bought whole chicken with the herbs identified below, and then bake it.   Minimum effort, maximum impact. All you will need are: 1 whole chicken rock salt freshly ground black pepper fresh rosemary ... READ MORE

9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi 9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi came to us super dirty (gusgusin to the max), malnourished and is in bad need of treatment for worms and fleas. Who would've thought that she will bloom into a really pretty cat, with salmon-colored nose, beautiful doe eyes, a prominent white hair scarf, and powdery white cheeks. 

But she is very far from innocent, and is now feared by the male cats here twice her size because she is #GigitheCatBully pala 😅 

Happy 9th monthsary, Gigi Ganda 🥰

To My Father By Georgia Harkness A giant pine, ma To My Father
By Georgia Harkness

A giant pine, magnificent and old
Stood staunch against the sky and all around
Shed beauty, grace and power.
Within its fold birds safely reared their young.
The velvet ground beneath was gentle,
and the cooling shade gave cheer to passers by.
Its towering arms a landmark stood, erect and unafraid,
As if to say, “Fear naught from life’s alarms”.
It fell one day.
Where it had dauntless stood was loneliness and void.
But men who passed paid tribute – and said,
“To know this life was good,
It left it’s mark on me. Its work stands fast”.
And so it lives. Such life no bonds can hold –
This giant pine, magnificent and old.

~

To our shelter and safety while he lived, we miss you so much.
Happy 2nd Year in Heaven, Daddy ❤
