Midweek Food Extravaganza! Sort of.

Just for tonight, can we pretend that I am blogging from the Philippines? I honestly thought today was Wednesday (thinking a day ahead). I was so excited (though I still am) to kick-off this new weekly feature which I have been seeing many other bloggers do - What I Ate Wednesdays!

Drumroll please!

My dad requested Carbonara for dinner tonight and not being so much of a white sauce fan, I didn't know how to cook it. I had to ask my girlfriend for the recipe. Oh by the way, did I mention, my dad specifically asked for my girlfriend's version. Uh huh. <3 


Super creamy extra creamy beef Carbonara topped with crispy bacon bits and parsley.
So much thanks to my girlfriend for making our dinner om nom nom-y!


Spinach Cream Cheese Pockets. My girlfriend and I first had this at Krazy Garlik in Greenbelt and thought we'd make our own version - very generous with cream cheese yo. It's great with soy sauce-vinegar as dipping sauce. Weird? I know. But it's really good so to hell with the weird.


Lastly, I made chocolate cupcakes with buttercream frosting! I wasn't so happy with how these turned out. It's probably understandable though since it was my very first time making cupcakes from scratch. I used dark chocolate which made the cupcakes quite bitter, which was a good thing because it's contrast to the sweetness of the buttercream. So hooray but not really. 

Purple sprinkles yoo!~

I plan on baking another batch - putting away the chocolate and sticking with vanilla - on Thursday or Friday. But quite honestly, I just want to decorate. Sob.

Om nom nom! 

All in all, today's dinner was good and unhealthy. I have so much food to blog from last week but I haven't been really in the mood. Tomorrow, perhaps. :)

Last day of July!
