First Friday of the month: Food Finds / Dessert
Dessert. Cake. Ice Cream. Nuts. Chocolate. For the past month, my foodie finds have been mostly baked goods and sweets, except for this natural cracked pili nut. I really have a sweet tooth and it's simply a challenge for me to refuse desserts. The sad truth is that I have an intolerance for gluten and eggs -- what pastries are mainly made of. Well, Mother's Day naman...okay, Mother's month, hehehe, so I'll "cheat" na muna! =)
Just over the past few days, I've indulged in decadent chocolate baked goodies that were given to me as a Mother's Day treat. It's a fabulous time to be a (blogger)mom right now! I am so grateful *blessed* and thrilled to receive these gifts.
Let me share my recent #foodiefinds -- these edible delights I've been enjoying with my family (also posted on my Instagram). This round-up can also give you ideas on what to give to moms with a sweet tooth like me.

Have a sweet and sunny food-tastic weekend and HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all of us moms!

PILI NUTS IN SHELL
The Cracking Monkey
My first time to actually crack open a pili nut and it was made simple and easy with this patented cracking tool. Crack and pull out the naturally fresh and ready to eat pili nut!
CHOCOLATE DECADENCE CAKE
Honeybon Cafe
I am a chocoholic. This moist flourless decadent chocolate cake is layered with custard and covered in rich choco ganache. Simply divine! I didn't expect this to be flourless!!!
Have a sweet and sunny food-tastic weekend and HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all of us moms!
