She also helped produced the indie film “Mulat” that was directed by Diane Ventura and is on Amazon Prime in the United States and United Kingdom. </p><p>She is also currently helping out indie band Nobody’s Home, that features Buendia’s talented son, Eon. Nobody’s Home recently dropped their <a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/08/22/20/ely-buendias-son-eon-drops-debut-single-with-his-indie-pop-trio-nobodys-home">first single</a> on Spotify titled, “!2 Midnight.” </p><p>Like her clients who are pretty good at reinventing themselves, Cabuhat has found an alternative career. </p><p>What people don’t know is she enjoys cooking and baking just as much as keeping her high-profile clients happy.</p><p>“I think that I have always been into baking and cooking,” said Cabuhat. “One day, I said that why don’t I work with my daughter Ysabel who recently obtained her learning engineer certification and is part of HR.com, a human resources social network.”</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="http://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2020/life/09/01/day2.jpg"/><figcaption>Day &amp; Ysa’s Kitchen&#x27;s best-sellers</figcaption></figure></div><p>The mother-and-daughter tandem would work in the kitchen and share their products on Instagram just for fun. That is until the world turned on its axis because of the COVID-19 virus.</p><p>“We baked and cooked more during the lockdown as we were convinced by some friends to make what we do commercially available,” explained Cabuhat of the genesis of Day &amp; Ysa’s Kitchen. “So we took the cue of how other friends started their home kitchen and went for it.”</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="http://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2020/life/09/01/day3.jpg"/><figcaption>Chocolate Chip-Potato Chip cookies</figcaption></figure></div><p>The duo started out with Swedish Meatballs Pasta (with homemade cranberry sauce) that has been a family favorite. Then they went into three cookie variants that have been extremely popular – Choc Nut-Flat Tops cookies, Chocolate Chip Oatmeal cookies, and Chocolate Chip-Potato Chip cookies. </p><p>“When I was thinking of what would be a good cookie, I went with the Choc Nut-Flat Tops cookies because it was a favorite of the band Pupil (one of Buendia’s outfits). It became so popular that we gave away Pupil mugs with filled with these cookies,” Cabuhat said.</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="http://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2020/life/09/01/day4.jpg"/><figcaption>Choc Nut-Flat Tops cookies</figcaption></figure></div><p>Today, the kitchen is growing with more and more people ordering the Swedish Meatball Pasta and the cookie variants. </p><p>“I really enjoy baking and cooking,” she admitted. “It’s kind of funny because Ysa asked me two years ago what would I do when I say goodbye to the music world. I said it was either work in a flower shop or a cookie shop and bake all day. COVID pretty much pushed it towards the latter.”</p><p>Day &amp; Ysa’s Kitchen can be found on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dayysakitchen">Facebook</a>. </p>
