My husband and kids are avid fans of fried rice so when I got invited to Ajinomoto’s launch of its newest product Aji Savor on Rice, I RSVP’d without skipping a heartbeat. I haven’t seen this product yet but I knew that it will be a rice topping mix. Since it’s Ajinomoto product, I know it will be good, just like the other Ajinomoto seasonings and powders that I use on my dishes. Aji Savor on Rice Aji Savor on Rice is inspired by Japanese Furikake and it contains a blend of ready-to-eat dried umami food ingredients...
Did you have a great Halloween this year? Unlike others I know who let Halloween just pass by, my family had made it a tradition to do something fun every year come Halloween time. This year, we were lucky because we were able to have a McDonald’s Halloween party together with other mommy bloggers and their adorable kids. McDonald’s BGC Forum Our party was held at McDonald’s BGC Forum branch and it was just the perfect venue for a party of 40. When we got there, the place was already set up with some black...
I always find cooking workshops more fun when I am with fellow moms. I can feel their excitement the same as mine while thinking of learning something new to offer to their families. Last October 25, I got to be with at least a dozen moms who were eager to learn about U.S. Potatoes and the different ways of preparing them. I was also personally thrilled to attend that event when I learned that two prominent moms would be there – Chef Rosebud Benitez Velasco, celebrity mom-chef, and the very chic mommy blogger Michelle Aventajado...
Halloween is the season of a lot of things from horror movies, play dress up, to sugary candies. But, for most of us adults, sugar can be a scary thing, and even for kids, we all know that it’s not good to let them eat too many sweets, no matter what the occasion is. There’s no need to be a hag though because we can still have the whole family enjoy good treats without the guilt. Consider a bagful or more of Welch’s Fruit Snacks that are made of real fruits with assorted flavors that the young and old will surely enjoy. Welch’s...

It’s Lamoiyan Corporation’s Kilusang Kontra Kuto Year 4 and I’m glad to be a part of this campaign because I know the good impact it does to the community.

Dermatologist Dr. Ria Valdez led the talk about the proper prevention for head lice infestation and debunked several misconceptions surrounding it. Having lice can be inevitable most specially with kids because they...
I’m not a milk tea lover but I’m a brown sugar junkie. I put brown sugar in my coffee, my cookies, and sometimes, when I’m craving for sweets, I always have a ready jar of brown sugar to satisfy myself. So when I got an invitation for the opening of a new Tiger Sugar branch in Robinsons Galleria, I immediately agreed. Ready for ribbon cutting – Tiger Sugar Robinsons Galleria I love Tiger Sugar – particularly the Brown Sugar Boba Fresh Milk With Cream Mousse drink. I try hard not to fall in love because...
