Welcome back to “Behind the Flavor,” where we share the stories and inspiration behind some of your Mixed by Mare favourites.

This episode is all about Lolo’s Cookies. If you’re Filipino, you already know that Lolo means Grandpa in Tagalog.

We named these cookies after our lolos because every time we make them, we’re reminded of them.

Growing up, it seemed like they always had an oatmeal cookie nearby. In the car? There was probably an oatmeal cookie. Stopping by the house? There was probably an oatmeal cookie. Looking for a little merienda before dinner? You’d hear, “Here, have an oatmeal cookie.”

And if you know, you know exactly the one we’re talking about. The oatmeal cookie in the purple packaging with that signature white sugar frosting on top.

For us, it wasn’t just a cookie. It was something shared between conversations, road trips, family visits and everyday moments that didn’t seem important at the time, but somehow became the memories we hold onto the most.

So when we created Lolo’s Cookies, we wanted to capture that feeling.

Our version is an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, inspired by those childhood memories and the
simple acts of love our lolos showed us every day.
Because sometimes food isn’t just food. Sometimes it’s a reminder of the people who took care of us, made sure we were fed and always had a snack nearby “just in case.”

Every batch of Lolo’s Cookies is our way of carrying those memories forward. Because at Mixed by Mare, we believe desserts can tell stories. They can honor our roots, preserve the sacrifices that came before us and help people feel connected to where they come from.

That’s the story behind Lolo’s Cookies.

Honoring our roots. Sharing the flavors of home. Proudly Filipino and made in Hawaiʻi.

Welcome back to “Behind the Flavor,” where we share the stories and inspiration behind some of
your Mixed by Mare favourites.

And if you’re Filipino, you already know how good banana lumpia is.

Also known as turon, banana lumpia is a classic Filipino snack or dessert made with banana, traditionally saba, rolled in sugar, wrapped in a lumpia wrapper and fried until golden and crispy.
Some versions include jackfruit, and that caramelized sugar creates the hard, sweet coating that makes every bite so good.

We wanted to take everything we love about that classic dessert and reimagine how you experience
it.

So we started with our graham crust, added a creamy banana cheesecake layer, topped it with
whipped cream, then finished it with a brown sugar coconut sauce.

It’s familiar, but completely different.

Creamy banana cheesecake, buttery graham crust and that deep brown sugar coconut flavour, all
coming together to give you nostalgia with a Mixed by Mare twist.

Because for us, reimagining banana lumpia isn’t about replacing a classic. It’s about carrying its
story forward.

Every layer honours the Filipino flavours passed down to us, the memories of growing up local and
the sacrifices that made our journey possible. We want each bite to help you taste where you come
from and feel connected to who you are.

That’s the story behind our Banana Lumpia Cheesecake.

Honouring our roots. Sharing the flavours of home. Proudly Filipino and made in Hawai‘i. Mixed by Mare.

People always ask me how Mixed by Mare started.

Honestly, it wasn’t until my first trip to the Philippines that I really understood why.

Growing up Filipino American in Hawai‘i, I always knew I was Filipino. I grew up around the food, family parties, and all the values my family passed down.

But it wasn’t until I visited the Philippines that I started to understand my family’s story on a deeper
level.

When I got home, I couldn’t stop asking questions.
I wanted to know where my grandparents were from, what life was like growing up, why they came to Hawai‘i, and what sacrifices they made to create a better life for our family.

The more I learned, the more things started to make sense.

Why my Mama keeps almost everything and can turn everyday items into something useful. Why my grandma loves growing her own vegetables.

What I thought were just little habits were actually lessons shaped by struggle, resilience, and survival.

That trip taught me that being Filipino isn’t just about where my family came from. It’s about understanding the sacrifices that made my life possible and carrying those stories with me.

And that’s really the heart behind Mixed by Mare.
It’s not just about desserts. It’s about honoring my grandparents and great-grandparents, staying connected to my roots, and sharing a piece of our story through food.

Because every dessert I make carries a little piece of where I come from. ❤

Growing up Filipino American in Hawai‘i, some of my favourite memories were built around food.

Not fancy meals or big celebrations, but the desserts that always seemed to bring my family together.

Cascaron is a sweet, chewy rice-flour treat, usually shaped into little balls, fried, and coated in a sugary glaze.

It reminds me of going to the old swap meet near Pearlridge with my Mama. After hours of walking in the hot sun, pulling a cart filled with vegetables, clothes, and kids’ toys she had bargained down, we would stop at the Filipino tent along the gate. If you know, you know.

Mama would pick up cascaron, palabok, and boiled peanuts. It felt like our little reward after a
long day together.

These desserts are more than something sweet.
They hold memories, family livelihoods, traditions carried through generations, and connections to the people we love. Some are still here making memories with us today, and others live on through the stories, recipes, and moments we carry with us.

They continue to bring our communities together today, whether they’re being made in a family kitchen, shared at a party, or sold by a small local business working to keep those flavours alive.

And that’s the heart behind Mixed by Mare.

Sharing food that holds a story, keeps us connected to our roots, and reminds us of the people and places that helped shape who we are.

Welcome to the very first episode of“Behind the Flavor,” where we get into the stories behind some
of your Mixed by Mare favourites.

And since October is Filipino History Month, you already know we had to start with something
special: our Pumpkin Crunch Banana Pudding.

We make ours with fresh bananas, heavy cream and, most importantly, condensed milk. Then we
layer it with our Pumpkin Crunch because… why choose between two desserts when you can have
both?

But condensed milk isn’t just here to make it sweet.

Before refrigeration was widely available, canned milk gave people a longer-lasting alternative to
fresh dairy. Because it was portable, calorie-dense and shelf-stable, it also became an important
food during wartime. Over time, condensed milk found a permanent home in Southeast Asian
kitchens, including in the Philippines. [baristamagazine.com], [daily.jstor.org]

War and food shortages pushed Filipino families to stretch what they had, adapt available ingredients and find creative ways to make something comforting. That resourcefulness helped
shape the flavours we continue to enjoy today. [bworldonline.com]

Condensed milk also helped create that rich, creamy sweetness we now associate with so many Filipino favourites. You’ll find it in desserts like leche flan, where it’s combined with eggs to create a dense, silky custard. It’s also used in some versions of halo-halo, bringing sweetness and creaminess to all those fruits, jellies and textures. [salu-salo.com], [bonappetit.com], [foodnetwork.com]

For us, condensed milk adds more than sweetness. It brings a familiar, comforting flavour that connects generations, while giving us room to create something new.

And when you mix that with bananas, whipped cream and our Pumpkin Crunch?

She’s creamy, crunchy, nostalgic and giving fall in Hawaiʻi.

That’s the story behind our Pumpkin Crunch Banana Pudding.

Proudly Filipino. Made in Hawaiʻi. Mixed by Mare.
