Marble Cake

Brownie Cupcakes

This is adopted from http://bakedbree.com/brownie-buttons-week-3-of-12-weeks-of-cookies, the recipe uses 1 stick of butter but I replaced mine with 1/2 cup of canola oil and it works as well.

They call these brownie buttons in the original recipe because they used mini muffin pans . Since I don't have those kinds of muffin pans I just baked mine using the regular muffin pans that is why I named them "Brownie Cupcakes".

Buko Pie

I found this recipe from an old cook book by Nora V. Daza ( Let's Cook with Nora ). This is the first time I made a pie crust from scratch, it uses shortening and butter making it flavorful and flaky.  

I prepared the buko pie filling first so that it will be cool enough when you pour it to the base crust.
