Sugar for me is a true gift from the Lord. I couldn’t imagine living life without sweets and I will regret it if my daughters will ever experience being hindered from enjoying sweet foods. But we all know that sugar intake should be limited even if you are the healthiest and the fittest athlete who can burn all the sugar they want to when they work out. With my husband who has diabetic family history, the risk is much higher. The sad part is, you know, that when you try to limit your sugar, the more you crave for it, right? It’s...

Last August 31, I was lucky to witness an event which is close to my heart and to every Filipino’s heart. SM Hypermarket Streetfood Festival! Growing up in Barangay Unang Sigaw in Balintawak, Quezon City, I remember how streetfood was everywhere specially when it is the baranggay fiesta. This streetfood festival brings back good and fun memories with my neighbors, my distant cousins and playmates and “kababata”. And who wouldn’t like street food? For me, these food transcends economic status, gender and regionality....
I’ve always been a fan of Yummy, both the magazine and the website. I always wish that I have the space to collect all of their issues but that time is still yet to come. For now, I just enjoy myself keeping a few issues of the magazine and bookmarking my favorite recipes from the website. Yummy is my go-to for easy to cook recipes. Unlike other food websites, I can relate more with the recipes from Yummy because it uses ingredients I am familiar of. The recipes are not complicated and whenever I read a Yummy recipe, I usually feel...
My eldest is using a bag made of cloth to bring her lunch to school. I washed her lunch bag once through the washing machine but when it dried up, I saw the oil stains were still there. I once thought laundry soap can clean any kind of cloth and dirt but I was wrong. Do you know what helped me? A dish washing liquid. I told myself, why didn’t I think of that right away? What do you we use to remove oils in your plates but our dish washing liquid, right? So what I did is I put a generous amount of the dish washing liquid I currently...
If you have kids who are still going to school and bringing their own food, I bet you also experience one of my dilemmas, unfinished lunch boxes. Although I don’t think there will be any moms who will have the exact problems like mine, we are usually concerned on how much nutrition they take daily when they don’t eat enough when they are at school. I can’t imagine how they are able to finish 7 hours of studying and playing in school and then carrying their heavy bags when they go home. But luckily, my daughters naman...
Filipinos are getting busier these days. As they say, we are all caught up in the rat race. One of the disadvantages is that we now tend to prefer fast-foods and the immediate services of restaurants more often than home-cooked meals. Although these may be unavoidable, we slowly forget how easy it is to cook meals at home (given the time), how healthier and more affordable, and most of all, how it bonds families closer to each other. Yes, I must say closer, because even though we can all chat with each other when we eat at fast foods or...
It’s Robinsons Supermarket’s fourth leg of its year-long route to wellness promo and we are lucky to see and participate in its Wellness Theme Park at Eastwood Mall to launch the Celebrate promo. The weather was bleak and wet but it didn’t stop the people from filling up the tent. It was a fun learning experience and the kids were able to play in some of the booths. Robinsons Supermarket made sure that everyone inside will have something to play with, watch, eat and bring home. Just like every time we go to Robinsons...
I couldn’t imagine how we can enjoy KFC Chicken even more till I saw the Coca-Cola Emoticups. As soon as I saw the cups, I’m sure the whole family will have fun using them and showing them around. Especially my tweens. They are so fond of using emoticons when they chat with their friends and their classmates and when they send quick notes or PMs for pabili or pasalubong to me and their dad. Collect the complete set of KFC Emoticups Coke and KFC Chicken will always be a perfect pair These 2 global brands KFC and Coca-Cola surely...
