This is the perfect time to cook this kind of soup because veggies are priced so low in the market. Imagine, I was able to buy a whole florette of broccoli just for P77 and a pack of 3 medium-sized carrots for P30+ only? I’ve heard from the news how some farmers in Baguio are having difficulty selling their veggies and that there’s a big supply of vegetables which are not being sold. If only those vegetables will reach Manila in a snap. Sad news but to take advantage of it, I thought to cook this recipe which I got from Bongga...

As a mom of 2 teen daughters, I think of myself in a bit of more difficult situation because I grew up without a mother. But you know what, being a parent will always be difficult whether you grew up without a parent or not. It’s because we are all inborn with unique personalities. And so why did I write this post if nothing applies to anyone, you might say? It’s because our children are exposed to similar situations. These include raging hormones, peer pressure and social media, to mention a few. From these, we can all say...
If you were born a Catholic, chances are that you have a ninong or ninong (godparents) and most probably you think that your godparents were your sort of fairy godmothers and godfathers who gave you fabulous gifts when you were a child. Or maybe not, if you are not that lucky. I, myself, can still remember that I had two godparents, ninongs, who my father and I visited every Christmas day. One is a doctor, I remember him calling him as Ninong Toti, and the other one, who we saw less often than my other Ninong. Alice’s baptism San...
Have you or any of your families experienced having worms? Yuck, you may say that it is and it is understable naman. Worms or “bulate” are yucky and harmful to anyone who has them inside. They are parasites and they can make our children sick. These worms can stunt our children’s growth, affect their mental performance and they can cause malnutrition. As moms, we would never want our children to have any of these worms. But like any other kind of health conditions, it will be tough to fight one when we are not equipped...
It’s the year of the pig and I’d like to make some slightly sweet and fruity, chilled dessert for my kids. This was the quickest thing that got on my mind. I have boxes of flavored Mr. Hat Gulaman and their strawberry flavor will be just perfect. What I love with Mr. Hat Gulaman’s flavored jelly powder is that they taste natural and only mildly sweet. I can control the sweetness as I like and the fruit flavor doesn’t taste like medicine, unlike those commercially made gelatin desserts on the market. Ingredients: 1/2...
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? One of the tests done at the moms meet-up – which brand of vegetable oil will solidify first? A good quality oil should not solidify quickly. Claro Palm Oil bottle is the one in the middle. 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...
