As my kids are growing older, they get busier with their school stuff, their increasing number of friends, music, arts, etcetera. But I don’t loathe these stuff. These are all part of growing up. So what we do as a family to make up with our “bonding” moments, we go on family food trips. We call it “food trips” because we plan it just like our travel trips : we scout the place, we check the price, the food, the opening/closing time, and then we get the map. Even if it means just going to the nearby malls and...
Absent ba lagi ang anak nyo sa school? Try giving them a serving of pineapple a day. Yes, actually, a clinical study was held recently to check the effects of canned pineapples as immunity booster. For 9 weeks, a group of 98 students from Paco, Manila were chosen to participate in a case study where a number of them were not given any canned pineapples and compared them to the rest who were given Del Monte Pineapple tidbits. After the test, those students who ate pineapples showed increased resistance to disease and infection. Good news...
Purple is a happy color, and August 8 was a purple day indeed as we attended Rebisco’s launch of Vitacubes, sugary cubes filled with vitamins.

Yellow creatures are invading our homes! Because these adorable characters which originated from the hit animation Despicable Me are now available as toy collectibles when you purchase a McDonald’s Happy Meal.

Yes, I’ve been a vitamin-giving mom ever since my two girls were born. I’ve been that way even though they aren’t sickly. There were times when I miss on giving them their vitamin supplements and I get worried. Why? Because I know that they aren’t able to get all the vitamins they need in the kinds of food we have today. I do my best to prepare healthy food daily on our table but sometimes, I admit that I give in to “delivery foods” when we have work deadlines. There are also days when the four of us...
