If there’s an event that I am most excited about this coming week, it is the 2019 Spuds And Dairy Culinary Cup! Potatoes and dairy are my favorite ingredients in the kitchen and it will be cool to discover new recipes and see how they are prepared by top chefs and culinary students. I’m a fan of reality cooking shows such as Top Chef, Top Chef Desserts and Zumbo’s Desserts. They inspire me to work in my kitchen. Cooking competitions are just my thing that it was so memorable for me when I was able to join the US Potato Safari...

When I hear the word “mojos”, there’s only one thing that comes to my mind – Shakey’s mojos. Yes, the lip-smacking, crunchy-on-the-outside-crispy-on-the-inside insanely seasoned potatoes of Shakey’s. Shakey’s Chicken ‘N’ Mojos Chicken ‘N’ Mojos Perfect Together media get-together I remember the first time I’ve tasted Shakey’s mojos when I was still in grade school. I was with my aunt then who brought mo to Shakey’s and that was when I instantly...
In this refreshing all-natural drink, I’ve combined fresh lemon extract and Welch’s 100% Concord Grape Juice. You can drink Welch’s by itself but if you love that lemony taste as well, you can use this recipe. I’ve long abstained from using powdered juices and when in restaurants, I usually ask if they are natural or squeezed from fresh fruits. It’s because I discovered that there’s a whopping amount of sugar in these powdered drinks. Generally, I’m being more careful these days on...
It’s a rainy Saturday today and these are the kinds of days when I simply offer a prayer that we’ve got roof over our heads and that everyone will be within God’s grace to have one. To break the lazy feeling from the chilly weather, I thought to use this Pili&Pino Chocolate Granola mix I’ve been keeping for so long. It’s a 460g cookie mix made with vanilla-infused coconut sugar. Pili&Pino Chocolate Granola Mix Granola includes: rolled oats, cashew nuts, pumpkin seeds, toasted coconut, wheat...
Cooking oil is a basic ingredient in the kitchen and because of that, most moms don’t give much thought when buying them in the grocery. In the past, I did the same. I just pick whatever I see first or most of the times, I just went for the cheapest. It’s because they all look the same. Di ba, magkakakulay lang naman sila? But now, as my family gets bigger (in age and size), there’s a need to do more cooking. And as I spend more from the ingredients I use, I started to become more meticulous. When I buy something,...
Any child will find it delightful to bring a snackbox in school, on playdates, on fieldtrips or wherever they need to go where they will spend several hours away from Mommy. Kids and even teens are always hungry and they don’t stop munching. There are many advantages in packing a snackbox for kids rather than having them buy outside. Even a simple snackbox that contains selections that kids will most likely eat will do. You can be meticulous in packing it or just a simple straight from the wrapper packing will do. The important...
When was the last time you had healthy and nutritious breakfast? Or a breakfast that blows your mind away, makes you say ‘wow’? Of course, this breakfast has to be something that you can whip in a few minutes or else, we’ll skip breakfast and just want for the weekend and run to our favorite early breakfast diner. I’ve had this morning with my own salad-in-a-jar. It took me 15 minutes at most because of slicing part, plus I’m doing the laundry at the same time. But afterwards, I was able to enjoy a healthy...
Whenever we prepare our kids’ school baon, we want them to bring with them not only the food but also the love that comes with it. That’s why we put so much effort in it diba? It’s also the main reason why my kids, even though they are grown ups already and are already in high school, they still prefer to bring baon, and not buy from the school cafeteria. They must know that when I prepare them food, that I’ve thought of them when they leave the house, until they get home. I admit though that it’s already...
