As a mom, I’ve always wanted to be able to bake bread and cookies for my family. It warms my heart whenever I see them eat my finished products. But while baking by merely following recipes and watching tutorials worked for a time, I knew in my heart that if I wanted to be able to bake better cookies and bread and eventually be able to sell them if I want to, I really have to know the proper techniques in baking. PACE (Professional Academy for Culinary Education) is now opening their facility for students of Baking and Pastry Arts...

Because I am a work at home mom, it’s inevitable for me to want to dine out most of the time. It’s a welcome break for me from doing household chores, cooking and washing dishes. My husband and I also take advantage of eating out with the kids to get closer to them, talk to them about their interests while we are all in good mood and enjoying good food. And so we are all glad that numerous food parks are sprawling our subdivision’s vicinity. One of these is El Neo Garahe Food Park. We were at El Neo for the first time...

I was one of the many moms who got to try the new yoghurt milk drink from Nestle – Bear Brand Yogu! I taste tested it and I found it delightfully creamy and sweet.

They liked the strawberry and mango Yogu, maybe because, from all the fruits I serve them, they only eat mangoes and strawberries. I checked the nutrition label and as a mom, I was glad to see all these vitamins packed in this drink: Protein, Calcium, Zinc (22%)...
How do you think watching a movie at the park feels like? 20 years ago, I think it would have been a kilig date for me and my husband. I remember we used to go to this very same park, QC Memorial Circle, to meet or have a date. We haven’t experienced watching a movie there but I’m sure naupuan na namin lahat ng sulok ng park. Our cell phones, if I remember correctly, for the sake of reminiscing, were Nokia 3210 pa. Those were our bf-gf days, when I was still in college, we were always broke and QCMC was our haven, hahah!

What are all-natural eggs and how are they different from the P5-P8 eggs we buy from our local groceries?

If you haven’t discovered how oyster sauce can transform a simple dish like a stir-fried kangkong and tofu to an oysterrific dish, the easiest way will be to open a P5 peso sachet of Ajinomoto’s Sarsaya Oyster Sauce. I’ve just tasted it and recognized the difference with other oyster sauce I’ve tried. The oyster flavor is heightened without overpowering the other ingredients and it’s not sweet unlike other brands. I got this quick recipe from Ajinomoto as they launched the cute celebrity Coco Martin as the...
When I saw the limited edition Jack ‘n Jill Nips Color Series , I got excited with the colors. Nips is a favorite at home, mine is the Fruit and Nut variant, while my girls like the classic multi-colored variant. Since it has been a while since I baked cookies, I thought to surprise my kids with some colorful Nips Cookies which they can nibble while they do their assignments. I just used a basic butter cookie recipe with the colorful Nips on top. Each pack of this limited edition treat contains single-colored button-shaped candies...
