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. I am the only cheese monster at home but when I use Eden Cheese when cooking, my dishes always become a hit. My lasagna as they say is unforgettable and that’s because I make sure that I make it...
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. Shopkins...
Having two girls is an equally challenging and fun experience for me as a mom. One of the most fun parts I’d talk about here is when it comes shopping for their dresses. My youngest, Mariel, loves to wear dresses. Unlike other girls who doesn’t like frilly clothes and laces and ribbons, my Mariel is all up for these. She is not the type who will point and get any dress she’ll like when we go to the malls but she lets me choose for her, try the clothes and let me decide when I’ll buy it for her. That’s what...
My husband and I love to drink Great Taste White Coffee so when I got an invitation to a Great Taste event, I immediately signed up. I was curious to meet the new celebrity endorser of this coffee brand, knowing that this personality should love the same coffee that we drink. The theme of the event was Choose To Be Great. It was held at the Crown Plaza in Ortigas, Pasig City and the highlight was the soon to be released video campaign featuring the matinee idol John Lloyd Cruz. The video shows how Great Taste and John Lloyd show respect...
