Meet Peachy
Hi everyone! I’m Peachy, the foodie mommy behind The Peach Kitchen — a place where I share my love for food, family, and everything in between.
I’ve been blogging since May 2005, back when I just wanted a corner of the internet to de-stress, tell stories, and keep my memories alive. What started as a hobby has grown into a full-blown passion — and now, this blog is my way of connecting with fellow foodies, moms, and anyone who believes that food brings people together.
I’m a mom to two amazing daughters, Purple Skye and Periwinkle Moone, and wife to my forever sungit kalog partner, Peanutbutter♥ (aka Daddydoodledoo).
I am also a furmama to three makulit na beagles named Coffee, Chocnut, and Cookie
AND to six cats: Onyx, Fishball, Croissant, August, Pumpkin, and Pepper
I’m a foodie by heart, a coffee lover, and a certified froyo and yogurt junkie. I am a law enforcer by profession (I know, right?), , but I realized that my heart belonged in the kitchen, not the field. These days, instead of chasing criminals, I’m chasing flavors — and the perfect cup of coffee. ☕
I love laughing, watching movies that make me cry, and cooking meals that make my family smile.
My favorite comfort food? Sinigang, hands down — followed closely by Crispy Binagoongan. You’ll find a lot of those on the blog because, well, I can’t resist making new versions of my favorites.
🍴 What’s Cooking in The Peach Kitchen?
This blog is all about my adventures — inside and outside the kitchen.
I grew up in a family that cooks not just to feed, but to show love. I’m not a professionally trained chef, but I’ve always trusted my tastebuds and instincts. I cook, I bake, I experiment… and sometimes I fail, but that’s part of the fun.
Through food, I’ve discovered not just recipes, but parts of myself.
That’s what The Peach Kitchen has always been about — discovery.
When I started, I had a notebook where I’d scribble stories and ideas. Now, this blog has become my digital notebook — filled with food, family, memories, and lessons learned along the way.
I’m absolutely sure by now you know I also have a passion for food.
They said that you cannot have your cake and eat it too but I found food blogging as I way where “I can have my cake and eat it at the same time.”
Other people collect stamps, other people collect antiques, wines and cars…I collect photos of food I’ve eaten and made.
Life Beyond the Kitchen
When I’m not cooking, I’m usually doing mom life things: watching movies with my kids, walking the dog, or having silly conversations over dinner. My favorite moments are the simple ones — movie nights, home dates, laughter-filled meals.
I once tried to grow an herb garden… but let’s just say the herbs didn’t like me back. 
Maybe one day I’ll try again!
🥄 Welcome to My Table
So that’s me — Peachy. A foodie, a mommy, a storyteller, and someone still figuring things out, one recipe at a time.
Welcome to The Peach Kitchen, where every dish has a story and every story is served with love.
Grab a cup of coffee, stay a while, and let’s enjoy life’s little flavors together. 💛
🌿 My Wellness Journey
In 2017, my health took a turn that made me stop and listen to my body.
I reached 185 lbs, was diagnosed with hypertension and pre-diabetes, and had to make big changes. I lost 40 lbs in three months, (Read about How I Lost 40lbs in 3 Months here) but more importantly, I learned that health is not just about losing weight — it’s about feeling well.
These days, I focus on balance and mindful eating. I’ve also learned to manage LPR (silent reflux) — which means I pay more attention to how my body reacts to food, stress, and even coffee (yes, I still drink it, just smarter!).
You’ll still see cakes and cookies here — because I’ll never stop baking for my family — but you’ll also find healthier recipes, low-carb comfort food, and balanced meals that make me feel good inside and out.
If you feel like it you can check out my other blog too:
This is my mommy-slash-lifestyle blog where I blog about parenting and my life as a mom and as a wife. This is where I also blog about our family’s travel, beauty finds, and OOTD’s — basically products, brands, or services which I have personally used or encountered.
Thank you so much for being here and always visiting my site. You are the reason why I keep this blog up and running.♥
