Welcome to Confessions of a Chocoholic!
I’m Bianca. I’m an advertising professional by day, food blogger by night (and weekends). I like to run, travel, spend quality time with my husband Matt, and I’m constantly thinking about dessert. Welcome to my blog.
Here I write about my favorite eats, my family, being Filipino, and other life musings. It’s equal parts memoir, recipe collection, restaurant review database, and travel diary.

I moved to Boston from the Philippines in 2004 (that’s chicken adobo up there, because adobo is pretty much synonymous with being Filipino.) Back then I barely knew how to cook. I had to Google how to boil an egg! But I’ve always loved to eat, and I’ve always loved to write, and eventually I learned how to cook and marry that with my love of telling stories, and so this blog was born.
Now I whip up easy recipes: indulgent pasta dishes, party appetizers, homemade ice cream, healthy meals, layer cakes, brownies (so much brownies). I recreate dishes from my travels, and then bake more brownies. I still don’t consider myself a pro in the kitchen, so my recipes are simple and non-fussy.

I share my travel adventures, too. I’ve been very lucky to be able to experience some incredible destinations all over the world: Tokyo, Barcelona, Lisbon, Rome, Stockholm, and many more. I’ve visited different cities across the United States – Seattle, Chicago, Asheville, Charleston, New Orleans to name a few – and ate all the best treats. And of course, I keep coming back to Manila.

Sometimes I write about my favorite restaurants, too. Lately I’ve been doing capsule reviews, but I do post more on Instagram.
I hope you enjoy reading my blog! If you’d like to contact me or work together, you can comment on any of the posts or send me an email.
