It’s not unusual that we lose ideas on what to buy or wrap for our friends and loved ones. Heck, I don’t even know what to give myself sometimes. I found out that reading gift lists or gift recommendations can really be helpful. It’s not necessary that you are going to buy these suggestions, but at least your mind has something to chew on and give it the spark for you to know the ultimate gift you are going to give this year. My Christmas Gift Ideas for 2019 So here is my worth recommended list for this year: Toys...
Have you tried serving mocktails at your Christmas party? Well, there’s a lot of reasons why you should. Here’s a list I know you’ll enjoy: 1.

They are healthy and non-alcoholic – Looks like it’s alcoholic but it’s not. Both kids and adults can enjoy drinking sparkling wines and even pregnant moms too! Heart-healthy...
Have you used your slow cooker lately? I just did. I had this craving for some sweet, smoky ribs with meat falling off from the bone. Thanks to my tiny slow-cooker, I just bought a couple of fresh pork ribs from the grocery, the pink ones, marinated them in the morning, slow-cooked in the afternoon and they were ready for dinner for the four of us. If you are having the same craving, then why don’t you try this simple recipe. The flavor may not that be complicated as the ones in the restaurants but I’m sure you’ll...
Watching movies is one of our favorite pastimes as a family. Ever since my kids were old enough to go to the cinema, we’ve watched every animated film, Marvel and Star Wars films that were shown.

We were lucky to be invited to the launch of the SM Cinema Fairview and screening of Frozen 2. It was a star-studded event that was attended by...

My husband and kids are avid fans of fried rice so when I got invited to Ajinomoto’s launch of its newest product Aji Savor on Rice, I RSVP’d without skipping a heartbeat.

Since it’s Ajinomoto product, I know it will be good, just like the other Ajinomoto seasonings and powders that I use on my dishes. Aji Savor on Rice Aji Savor on Rice is inspired by Japanese Furikake and it contains a blend of ready-to-eat dried umami food ingredients...
Did you have a great Halloween this year? Unlike others I know who let Halloween just pass by, my family had made it a tradition to do something fun every year come Halloween time.

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...
