I always find cooking workshops more fun when I am with fellow moms. I can feel their excitement the same as mine while thinking of learning something new to offer to their families.  Last October 25, I got to be with at least a dozen moms who were eager to learn about U.S. Potatoes and the different ways of preparing them. I was also personally thrilled to attend that event when I learned that two prominent moms would be there – Chef Rosebud Benitez Velasco, celebrity mom-chef, and the very chic mommy blogger Michelle Aventajado...

It’s Lamoiyan Corporation’s Kilusang Kontra Kuto Year 4 and I’m glad to be a part of this campaign because I know the good impact it does to the community. Having kuto or lice is not an easy deal and I know it because I’ve dealt it with my daughters as they got infested many times from school. Dermatologist Dr. Ria Valdez led the talk about the proper prevention for head lice infestation and debunked several misconceptions surrounding it. Having lice can be inevitable most specially with kids because they...

It’s a rainy Saturday today and these are the kinds of days when I simply offer a prayer that we’ve got roof over our heads and that everyone will be within God’s grace to have one. To break the lazy feeling from the chilly weather, I thought to use this Pili&Pino Chocolate Granola mix I’ve been keeping for so long. It’s a 460g cookie mix made with vanilla-infused coconut sugar. Pili&Pino Chocolate Granola Mix Granola includes: rolled oats, cashew nuts, pumpkin seeds, toasted coconut, wheat...

Cooking oil is a basic ingredient in the kitchen and because of that, most moms don’t give much thought when buying them in the grocery. In the past, I did the same. I just pick whatever I see first or most of the times, I just went for the cheapest. It’s because they all look the same. Di ba, magkakakulay lang naman sila? But now, as my family gets bigger (in age and size), there’s a need to do more cooking. And as I spend more from the ingredients I use, I started to become more meticulous. When I buy something,...

Any child will find it delightful to bring a snackbox in school, on playdates, on fieldtrips or wherever they need to go where they will spend several hours away from Mommy. Kids and even teens are always hungry and they don’t stop munching. There are many advantages in packing a snackbox for kids rather than having them buy outside. Even a simple snackbox that contains selections that kids will most likely eat will do. You can be meticulous in packing it or just a simple straight from the wrapper packing will do. The important...

At any time of day, if someone will ask me what I want to drink, 99% I’d answer coffee. I’m not a coffee-addict though. I limit drinking to 2 cups a day so when I drink one, I always want my coffee to be perfect. I drink both black and coffee with cream. When I drink black, I want it as black as it can be, without sugar. But when I drink white coffee, I want it to be as creamy as it can be. Great Taste White offers me that luxury to enjoy a couple of minutes of break from my freelancing jobs. It’s creamy but...
