10-Minute Graham Balls

You probably made a refrigerator cake last Christmas using Graham Crackers as crust. You didn’t finish the pack so now you have a couple of pieces lying around in the cupboard, gathering (hopefully not) dust. Well, I’ve a Graham recipe that’ll not only give you your money’s worth, but also satisfy your sudden sweet cravings. It only takes 10 minutes to make!

What you’ll need (serves two):

  • 5 long crackers (has three squares each)
  • Condensed milk
  • Evaporated milk
  • Butter
  • Mortar & Pestle or food processor
  • Bowl
  • Oven Toaster

Step 1: Beat It

Using your mortar and pestle, pound your crackers until they’re fine. This may take a while so if you have a food processor in the kitchen, utlize it and save time prepping the balls.

Step 2: Mix It Up

In a bowl, pour 3 tablespoons condensed milk, and 3 tablespoon evaporated milk. Put in the powdered crackers and start mixing. The dough should be wet enough to be compacted, but dry enough to hold a shape.

Step 3: Rolling in the Deep

Line your tray with aluminum foil. Start shaping your dough into balls, roll them in liquid butter, and line them up. The size of your balls depend on how “bite-size” you want them. I made mine about 3/4 inch in diameter. That’s two-bites big for me.

Step 4: Toast!

Toast your balls for 4 minutes or until your butter has completely dried up. The butter also helps hold the shape of the balls. It acts as a sort of crust and adds flavor.

Plate your balls up and enjoy! Best served with a glass of cold milk. Yum!

It’s un-ball-ievably easy!

An App for Couples: LoveByte

Me and my boyfriend have been together for more than 6 years already. Yes, that’s a lot of anniversaries, dates and special moments we’ve had together. As cheesy as it is, we want to remember those “good old days” when we become a little bit older. However, it’s rather impossible to remember every single date, don’t you think? Recently we both couldn’t recall what happened during Valentine’s Day of 2010 and 2011. To avoid short-term memory loss, we started documenting our relationship with this nifty application that one of my best friends introduced.

LoveByte, is a Singapore-based startup app that began operations in April of 2011 to help couples maintain (and hopefully improve) their relationship to create a private space just for two, despite distance or different schedules. 

So what’s so great about it?

  • Counts the days you’ve been together
  • Records past and future events (including milestones such as “meeting the parents”, “favorite movie”, etc.)
  • Lets you chat with your special someone privately
  • Suggests fun dates by sending scratchcards
  • Allows you to send each other sweet notes

So I’ll let you guys have a sneak peek of my little world in LoveByte.

 

To further grasp all that awesomeness that this cool app has to offer, check out this short clip!

I bet this made you want to record your love life, right? All your kilig moments in a simple app. 

Continue to love, pretty ladies!
