There I wrote that we brought her to Barrio Fiesta, a restaurant that delivers authentic Filipino cuisine where we had a great lunch. Indeed, nothing beats Filipino food.

With their assistance, it was easier for my grandmother to take the stairs.

Craving for sweets? Let’s be honest, no one can escape that feeling. According to Christine Gerbstadt, MD, RD, dietitian and spokeswoman of American Dietetic Association, sweet is the first taste humans prefer from birth.

Since we did not prepare anything sweet for our Noche Buena and Media Noche, I was able to discover the following sweets.
