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. I don’t have much...
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...
This morning, I noticed my New Year fruit basket still full of oranges and I thought, since the weather is a bit cooler than usual, I can try baking a quick recipe using oranges. I love fluffy pound cakes paired with my favorite Twinnings tea. It took me only an hour to bake this. Try it today and enjoy an afternoon tea-time with your friends. [amd-zlrecipe-recipe:21] ...
Before my kids went to school today, they asked for an advanced permission for a weekend “pasyal” with their friends, after all, the exams will be over by then. Until now, I can’t still believe that my kids are already in this stage when “letting go” bit by bit is unavoidable. Teen parenting is getting tougher as years pass by and not only because of these “going-out” thing with other people. When I got pregnant, I thought our love and devotion to our kids will be enough to guide us as a parent....
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...
