Is the kind of cooking oil important when cooking? Isn’t it enough that we can fry or sautee with just any kind of cooking oil we pick in the market?

Claro Palm Oil intimate gathering of moms to witness how Claro Palm Oil fares against other brands of vegetable oils. That’s how I think in the past, but you know, as I learn to cook...

Smart Araneta gave us a unique end-of-the year experience through the Magic On Ice show. We were just so happy that we didn’t miss this show. I think it was a bold move for Smart Araneta to host a different kind of show and give kids and adults alike something they have not seen before. I’ve Googled this show a little bit before the show date and was thrilled about the performers. The show has been seen in a lot of bigger countries such Europe, the US, Asia and the Middle East and for the first time, it would be shown in the...
What’s a cheese board? Basically, it’s a smorgasbord of delicious finger foods you like, but mostly cheese. Well, that’s my description of a cheese board. You pair your cheese with some red or white wine but if there will be kids, they can eat some of the biscuits and put some jam, or the nuts and some candies which you can include too. To quote wikipedia though: A cheeseboard (or cheese course) may be served at the end of a meal, either replacing, before or following dessert. The British tradition is to have cheese after...
Next to chicken, fish is my family’s favorite dish because I encourage them to eat as much rather than pork. And like most kids, my girls want our fish fried. But sometimes, frying fish can be troublesome because of the splattering oil ( talsik ). I once saw a funny video in Facebook how some people try to find ways how they can avoid the hot splatter. Market leader, Crispy Fry®, scores another first by introducing a breading mix for fish called Crispy Fry® Fish Breading Mix. Crispy Fry® Fish Breading Mix makes fried fish tastier...
I miss being pregnant so much, yes! Though we all know how some moms find pregnancy as a difficult period because of the vomiting, the heavy belly and the struggle in moving, I still think that those months when I was pregnant were the best. Why? I can say more than a dozen things why being pregnant is such a beautiful thing. First, of course, is you know that you have a beautiful baby inside you. Second, you bond a lot with your husband. My husband treated me like a princess when I was pregnant with my two kids. I have all the excuse...
Who doesn’t find adobo as their favorite dish at home? All of us, even non-Pinoys love our adobo dish. It’s salty, sour, savory dish in one and the dripping sauce is enough to be ulam in itself. But still, cooking up a hearty dish on a daily basis is also challenging, as you need to achieve the perfect balance of flavors and the right complementing staple ingredients (be it pork, chicken, fish or vegetables) to make each family meal time a happy, satisfying experience. Chicken adobo with Jolly whole mushrooms the star of my...
How are you with your Christmas preparations? I bet that you are already looking at your long list of to-dos as we all count down to the last days before December 25. If you will ask me, I will probably answer the same, that I’m super busy. But you know what, it made me think thoroughly how Grinch these daily tasks can be, stealing us the opportunity of Christmas to get in touch with people, our friends who we haven’t found time to visit or meet this whole year, or the relatives abroad who we didn’t even had the time...
We often hear the saying that “happiness is a choice” and as parents, my husband and I always tell our daughters that we don’t have to wait to have a perfect life in order to be happy. The important thing always is to focus on what we are grateful for and make the best of it. One of our happiness as a family is to travel together. When my husband and I met each other back on our college days, we didn’t have money to travel but still, we found opportunities to explore places. When we had our two daughters, our family...
