... which translates to "Chocolate Rice Pudding with Dried Fish." Champorado is a classic Filipino breakfast dish traditionally made with tablea: cacao tablets made with ground cacao beans. A topping of crunchy fried dilis (anchovies) or tuyo (dried fish) usually accompanies champorado for a sweet-salty flavor contrast.

Have you ever experienced a morning when:

1. Your usual eggs and toast just won't cut it for breakfast.
2. You're feeling lazy and you just don't want to exert too much effort to cook food.
3. There aren't too many food options in the fridge.
4. You want to try something new.

Ditch your cup of coffee for this sparkling drink on a hot summer day.

Sometimes, quick and easy is the way to go. Add sweet and salty to the mix and what do you get?

Layers of vanilla cake, dark salted caramel, and Swiss meringue buttercream, with tadaaaaa... Snickers! And cashew nuts! And more caramel! Aren't you excited about this cake yet? Well I am and I wish I still had some of it left in the fridge.
