Hey There!
I'm Rose
A mom of three and a full-time pro who’s constantly on the run. Between managing my job and wrangling my family’s endless hunger, I’ve mastered the art of cooking fast, flavorful meals. My days go from coffee to cooking in a flash, all to keep my family (and sanity!) intact.
I was born and raised in the Philippines, where food is as much a part of life as breathing. My culinary adventures have taken me across Asia and the US, and now I’m here in California, exploring new flavors with my three kids and husband. Weekends might mean dining out, but weeknights? That’s when I turn into a kitchen wizard, whipping up cost-effective meals to keep my family satisfied.
Why "Deliciously Rushed"?
This blog is for anyone who wants tasty meals without spending hours in the kitchen. Whether you're juggling work, family, or just life, I’m here to help you create meals that are fast, delicious, and budget-friendly. I’ll be sharing the recipes, shortcuts, and kitchen hacks that save me time and keep dinner stress-free.
Fun Facts About Me
- Costco is my playground – I’m a self-proclaimed Costco fanatic and always on the hunt for deals and foodie finds.
- Hawaii feels like home – It’s where my family and I recharge and create unforgettable memories, especially with our Disney Vacation Club membership.
- Disney makes me nostalgic – Growing up with limited access to toys, Disney is now my way of reconnecting with my inner child. 🐭✨
- Cooking is a feeling – Sometimes, I don’t even taste my dishes; I go by instinct (thanks, Mom!). The best recipes often happen in the most chaotic moments.
- Blogger roots – My blog idea sparked during a jog with my favorite podcasts. Now it’s my creative outlet outside of my IT career.
- Tech-savvy, sort of - I've proudly navigated the IT world for over two decades, but when it comes to the nitty-gritty tech stuff on this blog, let's just say I'm more of a 'technologically challenged pro.'
