We can never underestimate dish washing, right? After all, our health also depends in how clean our plates, glasses and utensils at home. But cleaning our dishes doesn’t mean getting rid of the food remains only but also making sure that there were no soap left on our plates after we wash them. We always want to be sure that our kids do not take in harmful chemicals when using the plates and utensils. At the same time, we also want to be sure that all the bacteria are killed once we wash our dishes. Recently, I was introduced...

It was an ideal day for my girls and I to have my husband join us for the first time in a family baking workshop. As we girls are fond of cooking at home, Daddy is always our happy eater, the one who taste tests when we try a new recipe. So when I received an invitation from The Maya Kitchen for their monthly family baking workshop, I immediately accepted it. Finding TMK (The Maya Kitchen) is easy. We decided to commute and try the P2P bus in Trinoma straight to Makati (Glorietta 5) instead of using the car. From Glorietta 5, we took a...
Eden Cheese has always been the star of my spaghetti, chicken macaroni salad and the sandwiches I make either in regular days or when there’s a special celebration at home. I use Eden cheese because it’s pretty affordable, satisfies my cheesy taste and it’s the brand of cheese I’ve always seen at home since birth. Eden Cheese Quick Melt, Eden Cheese Regular Cheese, Eden Mayo and Eden Sandwich Spread I am the only cheese monster at home but when I use Eden Cheese when cooking, my dishes always become a hit. My lasagna...
This year’s school vacation was all about having fun in the kitchen. Since the kids started staying at home for their school breaks, they had been bugging me to find recipes online and recipe magazines which they can make at home. I’m glad that they were up to it because the oven had been sitting unused for a long time. Fortunately also, Mommy Bloggers Philippines had lots of baking workshops in line this year for the kids. Last May 4, Mariel and I had a great day learning how to bake pretzel when we attended MBP’s JuniorChef...
We always welcome summer, not only because of the sun, but because of the cool desserts which pop out from our favorite restaurants. This summer of 2016, Raintree had come up with not only one, but several lovable desserts we will love to order again and again. I was lucky to try the strawberry parfait with my friends and it was heavenly. The ice cream was so milky and there were soft nuts inside. It was a real treat because I loved strawberry so much. Same as the blueberry and the chocolate parfaits, you couldn’t just choose one...
Mariel has a small collection of Shopkins. I think she only has more than 20 by now. I can’t remember how she started collecting but what I know is that her collection is of great value to her because I usually buy one or two pieces for her as a reward when she did great in school (when she got perfect scores in a quiz or exams or when she got a place in quiz bees). I also advised her that just like her dad who is into toy collecting, it will be a good thing to take things slowly and enjoy each piece that she will get. Some of Mariel’s...
