Misispi

Thanks JJ and Minette for the really super yummy oatmeal cookies from Misispi. Later on, I did not follow instructions and did not twist the bag with the wire and I liked the cookies even more because they were “makunat” and soft. Even better!!! 🙂

From Misispi’s website: http://www.misispi.com

“Have you tasted a MISISPI?” Is a question I often ask people. If you haven’t, just think of what you are missing! Join the thousands who have tasted these and have thanked the stars they received a bunch. Addicting… Habit forming… But you won’t go to jail for it. They probably are the most wonderful crunchy oatmeal cookies ever!

Crunchy Oatmeal Cookies
The Original Crunchy Bestseller

250gm (single) box – P160
500gm (double) box – P320
half pack (10 pieces) – P80

My husband used to call me Mrs. P. (for Mrs. Pena).. So when I left the corporate life and decided to share this yummy recipe of a cookie, MISISPI was born. People often stare at the name and comment that I misspelled Mississippi. Well, at least I caught their attention, and then they look at the cookies with curiosity. Until they take a bite. That’s when they remember to say MISISPI… Up to now, I am proud to say that it is home made.

Curiosity….. Longing….. Anxiety….. Got to open that box!!!

What’s inside a box of MISISPI is something much more than a cookie. It’s a golden brown disc which when you hold close looks like a harmless disc… Hold it closer and somehow, an inviting aroma gets your attention…

And even closer, the disc now looks too inviting to resist…

And that first crunchy bite puts down all your resistance from this harmless looking disc…

And by the time you regain conciousness, it’s gone… All of them… Gone!!!

MISISPI cookies are meant to be shared. But they are just too good, you might just want to keep them for yourself…

Raisin Bread

By | Recipes, Yummy! | 2 Comments

Probably everyone who went to Baguio has bought their raisin bread- the ever popular raisin bread from Baguio Country Club.  My friend, Michele, taught me another way to eat raisin bread.  She says that she slices the bread thinly, spreads some butter and sprinkles sugar on top. Then toast it!  YUMMY!!!!!

I also discovered a different kind of raisin bread made by my friend, Lucille. It is different from the Baguio Country Club raisin bread because her version has fruits in it.  The twisted/braided shape is unique as well.  The problem is she does not sell them and you can only get one if she bakes one for you, good thing I am her friend 🙂

MAP Toy Run

By | Educare, Giving Back | One Comment

For 3 straight years, EDUCARE ( Jaric Foundation Inc. ) helped organize the MAP ( Motorcycle Advocates of the Philippines )  TOY RUN.  Motorcyclists set aside a day to give their time and to share some toys with the UNICEF children.  The event starts of with a motorcade by many motorcycle groups and leading the pack is Santa himself on a motorcycle too.  The riders drop off the toys in a bin and serve as an entrance to the event.  The kids enjoy the games, rides, entertainment and food.  The toys and loot bags are later on distributed to the children.  Thank you to all the generous sponsors who made the events a success!!  

Heart2Heart would like to pay tribute to MAP and to all the motorcyclists who made hundreds of children happy during the Christmas Season.
