“My Great Food 15-Second Cooking Challenge”

Soooo, well, this happened...



Because I've been watching too much of Cupcake Wars on TV. 

And it's hot. 

And I wanted a beer. 

And brownies. 

Hey, it's summer! The season of throwing caution and calories into the wind. haha. I guess I'll just have to run an extra mile tomorrow. ;)


Recipe: Beer Batter Bacon Brownies
1 pack Magnolia Fudge Brownie Mix (The recipe is printed at the back of the box, but basically you just need oil, an egg, and switch the water for beer.)
A bottle of San Miguel Cerveza Negra (Or two. Just in case it gets too hot baking. ;) haha) 
1 pack Purefoods Honeycured Bacon

I used Cerveza Negra, a dark lager with caramel undertones, to complement the richness of the fudge brownie. Bitter, sweet, bold mass of chocolate-y goodness. Then topped it off with honeycured bacon to give it that crispy, salty contrast. 

Yup. 

No midnight snacking remorse at all. My only remorse was that I didn't put bacon bits inside the batter. Noted- for future reference.

"My Great Food 15-Second Cooking Challenge"

I've been doing a lot of reading about the effects of coffee on running lately. And while it's still pretty much debatable, I am happy to see that the pros outweigh the cons regarding that magical elixir we all know and love.

To celebrate, here's a summer-inspired recipe I cooked up featuring the athlete's not-so-secret, secret ingredient-- coffee! After all, with all that running in this summer heat, you'll need that backyard barbeque break and extra caffeine jolt to recover faster

As with everything, the operative word is 'in moderation'. So, go ahead, indulge. And slather on a few more slabs in there for, you know, motivation on your next run. ;) haha


 
Recipe: Coffee-Rubbed BBQ Ribs
1 1/2 tsps San Mig Coffee Honeycino
1 tsp brown sugar

1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1 1/2 rock salt
1 tsp cracked black pepper
1 kilo Monterey American Pork Ribs

1. Combine all dry ingredients together. Mix well.
2. Rub coffee spice mix all over meat.
3. Marinate for 1-2 hours.
4. Steam (until only slightly undercooked).
5. Grill.
6. Enjoy!

I improvised with the honey flavored coffee. I find that the honey's golden sweetness is the perfect accompaniment to the bitter coffee undertones. I added grilled pineapples (Yum!) as a side dish too. Summer perfection!!!

Definitely Japan. Definitely Kojie.san


5 Reasons Why It's Important to Use Only the Original Kojic Acid Soap

Summer days are longer. That means more UV exposure to us runners and sun-worshippers out there. It's true that sunscreen is every runner's ally, but unless you live under a rock, there are circumstances that are unfortunately unavoidable (like age spots. Ugh~)

Good thing there are products out there that can minimize these "sun effects". No need to worry about getting too dark from being outdoors. You can still maintain that fair complexion with Kojie.san, a breakthrough skin lightening soap. Beware though, there are a lot of fakes out there-- beauty loot included. Now, if we're vigilant in spotting fakes from the genuine article in shoes or bags, then what more on products we actually put on our faces, right? Fake beauty products might look the same on the outside, but is it the real deal? Are the ingredients really as natural as it says? Remember, substandard products will only do more harm than have the desired effect.

So, when it comes to your skin care, why is it important to use only the original kojic acid soap?

1. Unless you can breathe underwater and actually want to attract a siokoy, then you should never have scaly skin.

Even Dyesebel wishes for smooth, flawless skin. And legs. And an original Kojie.san soap.

Things aren't always as they claim. The problem with fakes is that you'll never know what you've gotten until it's too late. Do you really want to take a gamble on your skin with counterfeit products? Kojie.san is the first and original kojic acid soap to be commercially available in the Philippine market. 

2. Unless you have an invaluable ivory nose, then your skin shouldn't ever resemble a rhinoceros'. EVER.

No to poaching endangered animals. No to dry, rough skin.

Kojie.san is made from a combination of kojic acid, which reduces the formation of melanin, and high-grade virgin coconut oil which deeply moisturizes the skin.

3. Unless you don't mind bird droppings or getting peed on by dogs, then you might not want to be mistaken as a tree.

No "Barking"  Zone with the original kojic acid soap.

Kojie.san has a micro-peeling effect which makes it a potent whitening agent that effectively exfoliates dead skin cells, revealing fresher, brighter, younger-looking skin.

4. Unless you can stand a lifetime of never-ending winter, then you might want to leave the ridiculously white, snowman look to a professional.

"I said build a snowman, not look like one!"

Kojie.san has all the natural kojic acid that gradually lighten dark spots due to acne, freckles, sun damaged skin, and other skin pigmentations on the face and body.

5. Unless you can rock mutant like Rebecca or J-Law, then you might want to steer clear of harsh chemicals and toxins.

Nah, blue isn't really my color. I'll stick to a beauty regimen the all-natural way, thank you! 

Fight pigment problems the safe way. Kojic acid, a by-product in the fermentation process of malting rice, does not contain any harmful chemicals. It does, however, contain antioxidants and 100% all natural ingredients that lightens melanin, evens out skin tone, and minimizes age spots.
