You love french toast? First time to hear about it? Wag kang mag alala, you are not alone. Is it a FRENCH food gaya ng french fries? They call it lost bread in Europe. Ito yung mga tinapay na wala ng buhay kaya binigyan ng panibagong kulay. Ano daw? Basically, yung tinapay na malapit na amagin, lalagyan ng gatas at itlog atsaka ipiprito. What’s the best French Toast recipe? MADAMI! But I am going to share just 3 🙂

Let’s start with the basic French Toast but we are going to use condensed milk instead of plain milk:

  • a pack condensed milk (ito yung naka box na Alasaka ha)
  • 3-4 pcs egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • isang kurot na asin (yung pino ha)

Mix all ingredients then soak the bread quickly. Yung mabilis pa sa sweldo mong hindi man lang uminit sa palad mo ha. Fry this and eat! Or pede mo i freezer pag ka prito mo then iinit sa oven. Kung naka score ka sa Gardenia ng buy 1 take 1 nila, ito ang gawin mo.

Ayaw na ng basic? Dito naman tayo sa sushal na French Tiast recipe from The Peach Kitchen, ang pinaka magaling kumuha ng food photos na food blogger.

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 4 tbsp milk
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp nutmeg
  • 4 slices bread, cut into 1-inch thick strips (I used the raisin loaf that’s shaped like a baguette bought at French Baker)
  • 1 cup crushed Corn Flakes
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Maple syrup, for dippings

How to cook Corn Flakes-Crusted French Toast Sticks:

  1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Put crushed corn flakes in a plate for dredging.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together, eggs, milk, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  4. Working one at a time, dip the bread strips into the egg mixture, then dredge in the crushed Corn Flakes, pressing to coat.
  5. Add the bread strips to the skillet, 3-4 at a time, and cook until evenly golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
  6. Serve immediately with maple syrup.

    • Mash cold butter into the dry ingredients using a fork to form pebbles.
    • Sprinkle the topping over the soaked bread.

Our Years Of Shopwise Magical Christmas

A mom from our Facebook support group asked where’s the best place to shop for Noche Buena and Media Noche and most moms answered SHOPWISE. Kahit naman ako, sagot ko din Shopwise. We have been doing our Noche Buena and Media Noche shopping sa Shopwise ever since the world begun. Even though the nearest Shopwise is in Quezon City pa, it has to be Shopwise. Why? All I need for Christmas (and New Year) celebration nasa Shopwise. From my handa to Christmas decors and some last minute Christmas gift shopping. And I am speaking from years of expereince of shopping at Shopwise a few days before the celebrations.

First Christmas sa sarili naming bahay. Syempre I want it to be as grand or as memorable as possible. We need some new Christmas decors, some new plates and the likes pero short naman sa budget kase kalilipat nga lang. Shopwise was the answer to my dilemma.

Mura kase ang Christmas decors sa Shopwise and aside from the usual decors, I was also able to buy plates, glass and table runner for Christmas.

For New Year, to complete our Media Noche fruit baskets, we always check first the fruit section in Shopwise.

I can’t remember a year that we were not able to complete the 13 fruits needed for Media Noche fruit basket since Shopwise have all the fruits, round fruits, we need.

There was a time that we decided to have wine and cheese platter for Christmas because we noticed how big the wine and cheese selection at Shopwise.

We have no wine brand preference for now so wala akong ma i sa suggest sa inyo. Pero what I can tell you is sa Shopwise, you can find the cheap wines and expensive ones. Marami kang choices. Same goes when it comes to cheese, you can buy per 100 grams.

Las Christmas naman, we invited my brother in law’s family to spend Noche Buena with us. We already have a gift for their baby girl which we brought at their house already.. but since they will be spending Christmas with us, we decided to buy her another one.

Shopwise never failed me when it comes to this area of adulting. They always have something na pwedeng ipang regalo. From toys to small house appliances, clothes and even gadgets like charger and ear phones.

And of course their wide assortment of Christmas basket that caters to our budget. They have affordable assortments and there are expensive ones din.

The best part for me is the wide range of meat that is available sa Shopwise. We can always have the steak that my kids look forward to, or the BBQ that my ate wants. Or the chicken for our macaroni salad. And speaking of, I love how Shopwise highlights ang mga pambansang panghanda like Macaroni salad and fruit salad.

Holiday Ham never runs out of supply sa Shopwise. That’s our favorite Christmas ham, sarap kase and very real ang lasa.

Shopwise has been a part of our Christmas tradition talaga. And this year will be no different. As I was checking Shopwise Facebook Page for their schedule, I saw this video:


Wide variety, wide assortment, wide selection, tingnan nyo, parehas kame ng description ni Mariel ng Shopwise.

We’re planning to do our shopping this weekend for our Noche Buena, how about you momshie? are you done with your Noche Buena shopping? Kailan kayo mamimili sa Shopwise?

Deworming Myths and Facts

When you hear the word deworming or PURGA, what is the first thing that comes into your mind? Honestly, mine would be poor hygiene. Yung tipong hindi naliligo araw-araw at madudungis na bata, ganyang level of poor hygiene. Pero I remembered when I was young, may lumabas na bulate sa akin. And I know I don’t have poor hygiene, takot ko lang sa lola ko kung hindi ako maligo. So it seems like, hindi lang poor hygiene ang source of intestine worms. And I discovered some more Deworming Myths and Facts.

Deworming Myths and Facts

MYTH: Worms can only be obtained with having poor hygiene. 

Akala ng iba katulad ko, sa poor hygiene lang nakukuha ang worms. It is a misconception because worms are everywhere. It can contaminate your home and public areas like schools and playgrounds.

Contaminated water is also one of the sources of worms, as well as raw or uncooked food. And it can be easily passed around! Ang worms ay napapapass-on.

MYTH: You can deworm without doctor’s advice. 

NO, you cannot deworm without asking advice from your doctor. You need a doctor to asses the child if they need deworming. The doctor will asses the child based on their physical look, their weight and your concerns. Some kids show clear signs that they need deworming but some don’t.

Ask your pedia about deworming if it is something that you should worry about.

FACT: ADULTS need deworming too.

Yes, not only kids need it. Worms are very common to kids but it does not mean that adults don’t have it too. What are the signs of worms in stomach?

  • Weight loss is the number one symptoms of worms in stomach.
  • Weakness and fatigue
  • Diarrhea
  • Change in appetite (pwedeng laging gutom or feeling laging busog)

If you suspect worms in your kids’ stomach, ask your pedia too if you need to deworm. Given that worms can be easily passed, it can be that you’re the source of your kids’ worms.

FACT: DEWORMING MEDS

Most people are afraid of deworming because of the fear of worms coming out wrong. Fact is, each deworming meds is different. That’s where you need to take extra precautions. Look for a dewormer that will prevent it from happening.

Antiox works by preventing worms from absorbing sugars which they need to survive. This action causes the worms to die. After treatment of Mebendazole (Antiox), worms will not migrate to other parts of the body.

MYTH: There is no danger kung hindi mag deworm.

Worms can rob the health of our family. It is not true na walang danger kung hindi mag deworm ang mga bata or mga adults.

What are the dangers or risk kung hindi ma purga ang bata? It can stunt their growth and it can affect their mental performance. A child with worms are always sick and with compromised immune system. Kawawa talaga ang bata kase magiging sakitin na nga, hindi pa nila ma aabsorb ng maayos ang mga nutrients sa mga kinakain nila.

For adults naman, it can affect your daily activity kase feeling mo lagi kang pagod. It also compromises your immune system kase you’re nutrients absorption is greatly affected. And of course, you can easily pass it on to your kids. Pinaka nakaka shookt yan!

And with these health risks and dangers that worms can bring to ur family, Antiox champions deworming for families. Unlike other deworming treatments, Antiox is a brand that is not only for kids, but is intended for every member of the family.

As a mom, it is our responsibility to make sure that our family is healthy. And I know how we all strive hard to give the best protection to our family. Antiox knows that and is one with us in making sure that our family is totally healthy. Together, let’s make every Filipino home a worm-free family. With Antiox, a worm-free family means a worm-free community.

My Father in law turned 80 this year and I volunteered myself in the cake department. I would love to create one or bake one but time is not on my side.. as well as creativity. It actually took me a while researching for the best 80th Birthday Cake Design For Male. I was ready to order a classic birthday cake for male look (think of blue, blue, and well, blue) but when my sisters in law mentioned that our father loves billiards, I knew that would be our cake.


Daily VLOG for my FIL’s 80th Birthday Celebration

Ordered this fondant billiards themed cake from SamThing Baked (click for their FB page), a reco from a mommy group where I am a member. Ordered a fondant cake plus 80 cupcakes and paid 5210 pesos for all, including the 5 tier cake tower. The cake was only 2000 pesos while the cupcakes where 2660 for 80 pcs (additional cost for the printed topper). The flavor of the cake is chocolate and the cupcake is red velvet.

My transaction with SamThing Baked is really smooth, had to commend the owner for their patience because as I have mention, our decision process for the design took long. She’s very accommodating and the taste? I love the cupcake, just the right amount of icing (not too sweet too). If I will have a party again in Caloocan or Manila area, I will definitely order again from SamThing Baked.

4 Things You Need To Know About Rose Gardens

Rose flowers have been a symbol of love and beauty for as long as history has been documented. Some flowers have a distinct scent that creates a magical ambiance to those around. Watching rosebuds blossom to a full flower in your garden is quite fulfilling. While looking to have a rose flower garden of your own, you need to know the following at the very least:

1) Planting
Roses can be planted as seeds or from pruned stems. If you opt to plant seeds, you should start by soaking them in a solution of water and hydrogen peroxide. This helps them germinate better. You can then transfer them to a garden or in a container for sprouting.

The other option is to use a stem. The stem is cut from a mature rose flower plant and planted directly to the garden. You can also graft the stem on another growing rose stem to get different colored roses. You can plant roses of the same color or get creative and mix them up for a pop. There are over 100 types of roses. It is important to find out which one would work best on your garden soil. Alternatively, you could do a bit of online digging on trusted platforms for more information and ideas on how to grow your rose garden.

2) Watering
Every plant requires water to grow and do not let your roses go without water. Rose flower need to be watered regularly to avoid drying up and even enable proper growth. You can water them three times a week while growing, but once they reach maturity, you can reduce this to twice a week during summer. The plants should not be watered during winter as the ground is already wet. A well-watered rose plant blooms on time and even maintains the flower texture for longer despite the hot sun and the harsh winters.

3) Pruning
Pruning flowers is extra work. You can do it by yourself or hire the services of a professional gardener. To prune rose flowers you need to be careful to cut the pieces and stems in the right place to enable continued growth. You should prune and cut out the head during spring to encourage new shoots before winter. Using the right tools is also important to ensure you do not damage the plants. Use small shears for the small plants and loppers for the fully grown roses. However, the flowers have thorns. You should wear protective clothing to avoid getting pricked.

4) A Little Extra Care Goes a Long Way
A flower can be planted, watered, and pruned, but the very best results would require a little extra. The extra work includes keeping your roses pests free and well fed. Roses attract pests and ants due to their sweet sap. Spraying fungicides and pesticides on these beauties keeps the predators away. You can also add manure to your roses. This ensures they get the right balance of nutrients for their growth and development. Fencing would also help keep the plants safe. They will not be run over by children, animals, or vehicles. During winter, it is important to keep the flowers well protected by placing a mash over them to prevent the frost from sticking on them.

6 Toilet Shopping Tips

$

A home is incomplete without a toilet. In fact, the toilet is the most crucial element in a home. This is because it provides a place to answer the call of nature in privacy and in a responsible manner. A toilet can actually last for decades without requiring a replacement. But a time comes when you have to remodel your bathroom. While it’s obvious that every homeowner knows how to use a modern toilet, only a chosen few know what to look for when shopping for one. The fact that there are many brands in the market makes it harder for a first time homeowner to select the best toilet for their bathroom. Here is a checklist that can guide you when buying a toilet for your home.

1. Available Space

Your choice of a toilet should be guided by the space that’s available in your bathroom. If there is plenty of space, you can opt for an elongated toilet because it offers ample space for sitting, especially for adults. However, if your bathroom is a bit congested, you should consider investing in a circular toilet as it requires much less space. Regardless of that, it’s advisable you first measure the dimensions of your bathroom before hitting the stores. This helps in ensuring that you don’t buy a toilet that’s either too small or big for your bathroom. You can visit Homeworthylist.com for info.

2. Two Piece Vs One Piece

A two piece toilet is one that requires you to install the bowl and the cistern separately. They are actually cumbersome to install due to the fact that there are more fittings that have to be put in place. They are recommended for roomy bathrooms due to their flexibility. One piece toilets feature a single unit where the cistern tank is permanently connected to the bowl. This type of toilet is ideal for bathrooms with little space.

3. Gravity or Pressure Assisted

There are two common types of toilet mechanisms; those that use gravity and those that rely on pressurized water. Gravity toilets use height and gravity to eliminate the waste that accumulates on the bowl. They therefore use a lot of water, which makes them ideal for homes that have few occupants. Toilets that depend on pressure are the most preferred. This is because they use very little water when you flush them. The pressurized water disintegrates waste much faster and pushes it down the drain. They are therefore recommended for areas that have high traffic. They even have a smaller tank than gravity toilets.

4. Height and Color of the Toilet

The height of the toilet determines how comfortable you will feel when you sit on it. Height actually varies from one model to another. Toilets that have a shorter height are ideal for short people and kids. If you have a tall stature, it’s advisable you pick a toilet with a considerable height. Ideally, you should settle for a toilet that’s at least 19 inches long. Besides that, you should select a toilet whose color blends with the theme of your bathroom. This helps in ensuring that the color of the toilet doesn’t clash with that of the bathrooomem interior.

5. Price

Price determines the features you will find in your toilet. In a nutshell, toilets that have the most features trade at a premium price than those that only offers basic features. This means that you will get what you pay for. In addition to that, you have to consider the cost of buying a seat. This is because most toilet seats are sold separately.

6. Warranty

When shopping for a toilet, you should narrow down to a model that has a limited time warranty. Such packages offer a form of security when the toilet fails to meet your expectations. If the toilet malfunctions within the validity period of the warranty, you are allowed to return it to the dealer and get a replacement for free. In fact, warranty is offered by reputable brands such as Kohler and Toto.

5 Steps to Choosing the Perfect Sink

0

Every home has several sinks that are conveniently located in the bathroom and the kitchen respectively. Apart from allowing you to wash your hands after visiting the toilet, a sink comes in handy when you want to prepare a meal in the kitchen. It’s also useful when you want to soak cooking pots or clean the dishes after having a meal. While a sink is designed to last for decades, it’s important you replace it when remodeling either the kitchen or the bathroom. However, most homeowners don’t know where to start when selecting a sink. Here are tips that can help you pick the perfect sink for your home.

1. Measure Available Space

The worst mistake that you can make while looking for a sink is to visit the various stores without knowing the size of a sink that is ideal for your home. It’s actually advisable you first measure the dimensions of the space that you have reserved for the sink. When you measure the length and the width of the available space, you will spare yourself from the trouble of investing in a sink that’s either too small or too large. By knowing the dimensions of available space, you will be able to tell whether a double bowl sink will fit perfectly or you can for an over the counter sink. You can view more details here on selecting a sink.

2. Compare Prices

It’s important you budget for a sink before making a purchase. This will help in ensuring that you don’t spend beyond your means and end up straining your pockets. In case you didn’t know, the prices of sinks tend to vary from one model to another. Since you will have access to a wide variety of sinks, you might be tempted to buy one that’s beyond your means. The good thing is that you can get a good bargain by comparing the prices of various stores. The other advantage is that you don’t have to move even an inch when comparing the prices because you will be doing it over the internet. If you are lucky, you might find a store that will not charge you extra bucks for the shipment of the sink.

3. Consider Sink Materials

Sinks are usually made from different materials that include ceramic, glass, plastic and steel among other materials. Although a sink that’s constructed from glass, ceramic or plastic looks more stylish, it’s not as durable as those that are made from steel. For a start, they can’t support bulky stuff because they can break easily. You will therefore have to buy a replacement every now and then. A sink that’s made from steel can serve you for many years because it doesn’t rust like ordinary metal. It can also hold many things at a go without breaking.

4. Sink Installation Method

The functionality of a sink is determined by its method of installation. There are basically two types of sinks that fall into this category; those that are mounted on countertop and those that are designed to fit beneath the countertop surface. Those that are installed beneath countertop are ideal for heavy users because they allow you to switch between different tasks easily, especially if you want one that has double bowls. Those that are mounted above countertop are ideal for bathrooms as they don’t receive a lot of traffic.

5. Check the Features

Before you add a sink into your shopping cart, it’s recommended you check its features. This helps in ensuring that you are getting good value for money. The last thing you want is to buy a sink that doesn’t offer the features that are important to you. Some of the common features to look out for include color that blends with your interior, drains for eliminating waste to avoid clogging the sink and fittings for installing the sink.

Downy Expert Kontra Kulob Torture Test

I already tried the new Downy Expert Kontra Kulob with our clothes specially with our towels. And we all know how towels are the worst when it comes to catching that kulob smell. Minsan talaga kahit anong sampay mo, yung twalya talaga patapon na lang sa baho. Naranasan nyo na din ba yun? Good news, Kabog ang Kulob using the new Downy Expert Kontra Kulob, yes, even with towels!

Pero hanggang ganun na lang ba yun? Torture test tayo mga momshies! So this is what I did, I washed my kids uniform in the same detergent. Yung dalawa, I used Downy Expert Kontra Kulob while yung dalawa pang natira, just an ordinary fabcon. Hindi ko dinaryer, palipit lang mga momshies.

 

And since we are trying to establish the effectiveness of Downy Expert Kontra Kulob, I put the clothes inside our bathroom to dry. I left it overnight wet with no air and no sun! 

What do you think? Excited na ba kayo malaman kung ano ang naging result?


Tried and tested! Downy Expert Kontra Kulob passed our torture test! Ito na talaga ang sagot sa problema nating mga nanay kapag tag-ulan. No araw? no problem. Kita nyo naman di ba, kahit sa loob pa ng banyo isampay, ang bango pa din ng damit kapag ginamitan ng Downy Expert Kontra Kulob.

New Ariel Instashine Torture Test

All white bed sheet is a like a dream no? It’s like staying in a hotel but it’s actually your own bedroom. It’s like living a luxurious life in a budget. Waking up to white, fresh beddings then eat tuyo for breakfast! Goals nyo din ba? That’s my dream set up too, minus the tuyo because I can’t eat that, pwede dilis na lang?

But that’s the kind of dream that’s a bit challenging to achieve specially that I have kids who unofficially made my bedroom their tambayan. So I stick to dark colored beddings, and sometimes light colored ones (only for special occasions or when I miss traveling). And with my white beddings, even though I don’t use them that often, mukha pa din siyang luma. Parang dirty white na hindi na white white.

I heard that Ariel has a new product. I heard it while my mother is watching her favorite teleserye. Narinig ko sabi ni Lea Salonga, mukhang instabago in 1 wash. And that coming from an international star, iba to. WE NEED TO TRY IT! So I tried it sa uniform nila.

The new Ariel Instashine has power booster beads na kayang mag penetrate sa layers of stains. Yun pala ang nagpapa mukhang luma sa damit, mga stains na hindi natin nakikita na nanikit ng husto sa damit. The new Ariel Instashine with its power booster beads can remove that.

I noticed some changes in the kwelyo ha. Nabawasan ang mantsa. Binabad ko pa ng 30 minutes and then another kusot. Wala na yung mantsa sa kwelyo. Amazing! And the color of the uniform after rinsing is unbelievable. Ganun na ganun ang kulay ng uniform noong bagong bili. Kaya pala si Lea na pa, “this really blew me away,” it really does!

PERO HANGGANG GANUN NA LANG BA YUN? 

The effectiveness of the new Ariel Instashine with power booster beads on my kids’ uniform excites me but I feel like I need to test it more. So saan pa? Pasok ang mga white beddings!


Please watch the video for my genuine pagod and reaction. I really did hand wash my kids’ white duvet cover to check the effectiveness of new Ariel Instashine in making old clothes (or beddings) look new. I am telling you; it will really blow you away!

Where to buy the new Ariel Instashine and how much?

The new Ariel Instashine has two variants, Fresh Clean and Indoor Dry. Both variants are available in 4 different sizes:

  • 43g 1 wash is SRP is 10 Pesos
  • 66g jumbo SRP is 16 Pesos
  • 630g Bag SRP is 145 Pesos
  • 1320g Bag is 295 Pesos

Shopwise 21st Anniversary 2100 Pesos Shopping Challenge

How often do you do your groceries? Once a month? Twice a month? Every week? When do you usually do your grocery? Most moms I know do their groceries on a weekend. It has become an integral part of their weekends, making grocery time an actual bonding time with the family.  And that is also the reason why we grocery with the whole family from time to time. Some of my fondest grocery memories with my kids are eating after doing the grocery or eating inside the grocery. And there’s only one place that we can all think of, that gives us that kind of bonding/eating/grocery experience, Shopwise, ano pa nga ba.

We do really bond over food, kaya nga when checking out Shopwise 21Tastic Treats for their 21st anniversary, ang una ko talagang chineck, mga pang ulam! And to greet Shopwise Happy 21st Anniversary, I made my own challenge: Shopwise 21st Anniversary 2100 Pesos Shopping Challenge

Akala mo pang catalogue lang yung mga discounts no? Hindi mga momsh! In real life talaga yung mga discounts na makukuha. Have you seen  Shopwise 21st Anniversary catalogue? Check mo na sa Shopwise Facebook Page: https://web.facebook.com/ShopwiseSupercenters/ at tandaan nyo na ang mga discount and treats na perfect sa family niyo. Ito naman ang sa amin:

Since we are doing our grocery at Shopwise Araneta Cubao, the store lay out suggests that we do our toiletries first. Can I just brag how lovely Shopwise Araneta Cubao is? The lay out is so mom friendly! And of course the fact that it offers not just grocery items is a plus plus for any shoppers. If most moms consider going to the grocery a vacation,  going to Shopwise Araneta Cubao is the grandest of them all. Kumpleto kase eh, from small appliances to big ones, to clothes, to toys, and the best part, kapag pagod ka na mag grocery, pwede ka umupo at kumain inside the store. Don’t we all love that kind of break while doing the grocery.

As I have mentioned, we got to the toiletries first, toothpaste, shampoo, alcohol etc. Safeguard Soap White 3pid 175g is buy 1 and get free Safeguard White 85g. Hindi ko papalampasin yan.

Pagdating naman sa snacks, Marius got his favorite crackers and it comes with free coffee. Ayan may meryenda na si Marius, may kape pa si Mommy! Best deals talaga sa Shopwise!

This is what I am telling you about. Shopwise 21st Anniversary deals on beef. From 395 Pesos per kilo, ang beef cubes ay 355 Pesos na lang. What can you do with beef cubes? Pwede sya na pang kare-kare, pwede din pang nilaga, pero pinaka favorite ng mga kids ko is Beef Stew.

Here’s another great deal worth sharing lalo na sa mga gaya ko na momshies na wise sa pagbili ng ulam nila. Discounted pork extra lean giniling. Ito talaga binibili ko na giniling because I don’t want too much fat on our diet. We usually buy 2 kg of pork extra lean giniling.

We cook 1 kg as the usual giniling, puno ng gulay at walang sabay and use it for omelet. The other 1 kg, we pre cooked and store it para pang sahog sa mga gulay recipes like chopsuey or ginisang sayote.

At dito ako pinaka tuwa! Chicken parts buy 1 kg and get 500 grams for free! Adobo forever mga momsh! But if you are looking for chicken recipes, here’s some that I can suggest:

So how’s my Shopwise 21st Anniversary 2100 Pesos Shopping Challenge? Mga momsh lumagpas ako sa 2100! Napadami ng slight ang binili ko na chicken, beef, at pork extra lean giniling.

1K for my toiletries and some food, tapos sa meat section almost 1200. Pasok na talaga sa 2100 Pesos shopping challenge but this cake is calling my name!! Sabi nya “Mommy Pehpot, naka discount din ako! GET ME! GET ME!” Marupok ang momshie nyo pagdating sa cake at sa discount (alam nyo yan!).

But all in all, my Shopwise 21st Anniversary 2100 Pesos Shopping Challenge was really fun and rewarding (kase hello more points to my Wise card). My kumareng Peachy of The Peach Kitchen namili din sila sa Shopwise, check out the 21static treats na nabili nya!

This is probably one of the best chicken recipe I could share with you. MY kids really love this recipe and I hope you and your kids will love it too. After sharing this on my Facebook Page, I have learned that the chicken curry recipe I know is really different because I use gata. All the while, akala ko talaga may gata ang chicken curry! So that’s one thing that keeps from cooking this on a weekly basis, gata is not readily or conveniently available to us. We have to go to palengke to buy fresh gata. Buti na lang, I just discovered this new fresh gata product from Coco Mama. Sharing with you our chicken curre recipe using gata from Coco Mama Ph.

Simple Christmas DIY Decors You Should Try This Coming Holiday

The holiday is approaching fast, and you wouldn’t want to be left behind when it comes to decorating your house. Moreover, while you might think that you need to spend a lot of cash on decorations but the truth is that there are lots of alternative ways that don’t involve a large sum of money. Moreover, if you are creative enough, then you might even create more beautiful Christmas decors compared to those that are being sold in the market. Below we have provided simple Christmas DIY decors you should try that will not only save you a lot of money but also makes your home look cheerful and lively.

Giant Christmas DIY Balls

If you have a lawn, then it’s perfect to have these giant Christmas balls all over the place. Either you hang them from your front porch and surrounding trees or just lay them on the ground, and they can easily make your home look gorgeous during the day. You don’t even have to leave your house to find the right materials. You can easily find giant plastic balls in some famous online shop and cover them with colorful craft papers. To make them noticeable during the night, you can wrap them with colorful Christmas lights.

Adorable Plastic Cup Snowman

Who says we can’t create snowman here in our country? Snowman is one of the most popular Christmas figures during this season and a must-have decor. But instead of using snow, we will be using white-colored plastic cups. Moreover, creating this kind of snowman can be done with the help of your kids. Once you’ve finished forming the cups into a snowman, you can put Christmas lights around him and place him on the porch. And since plastic cups are inexpensive, you can create more and place them all over your lawn.

Snowman Fridge

Probably most homes have their plain white fridge in the kitchen. If you have one, you can turn it into a snowman. To make it more fun, ask your kids to help you cut 2 large black circles for eyes, 3 medium black circles for his buttons, 5 small black circles his mouth, and lastly 1 orange triangle for his nose. Simply create the snowman image with those circles and place a red ribbon in the middle, and your snowman fridge is good to go.

Wall Mounted Christmas Tree

We all know that the Christmas tree eats up a lot of space inside the house, so why not try making a space-saver wall Christmas tree instead? This idea is very useful, especially for those who live in small apartments where they have very little floor space. To make it look similar to a regular Christmas tree, we recommend using artificial pine garland and some decors commonly used for Christmas trees. Feel free also to light it up with Christmas lights to make it more appealing to the eyes.

There are lots of excellent DIY ideas out there that don’t require you to spend too much. Just be creative, and don’t forget to have fun.

5 Dishes Mush Masarap Dishes With Jolly Mushrooms

Mush Chicken Pastel 


The first time I tried adding mushroom to our ordinary chicken pastel, nagustuhan talaga ng kids ko. And you what I like most about this recipe, ang bilis lutuin, ang dali gawin, and I can pair it with rice or pasta.

Jolly Mushrooms used: 400 grams whole

Mush Japchae

Japchae is a Korean stir fried starch noodles. Inspired to create one with the use of what’s available in our pantry, I discovered how tasteful it can be with Jolly Mushrooms.

Mush Pork Giniling 

This recipe is also from Jolly Eats FB Page, but instead of using whole mushrooms, I used yung Jolly pieces and stems variant. We love giniling with lots of veggies. When I tried adding mushroom, medyo nabigla ang mga kids but in the end, mas masarap daw!

Jolly Mushrooms used: 400 grams pieces and stems

Mush Egg Omelette

Instead of usual pork/ham on egg omelette, I decided to add Jolly Pieces and Stems Mushrooms . This one for me is the ultimate breakfast. This is what I usually prepare when my schedule is full and I need a heavy breakfast. It is packed with fiber and protein. A toast or fried rice is all it needs para game na game na magtrabaho si mommy.

Here’s Simple, Easy-to-Follow House Cleaning Schedule (+ Guide!) for Busy Moms

$

I thought I knew my mother. I thought she really liked drinking cold coffee, you know, making hot coffee then waiting for it to be cold before she drinks it. That’s how I’ve always seen her do it. Now that I am a mother too, I finally understand why. A mom’s daily life is so busy, she always ends up drinking her coffee cold in the afternoon, when all household chores are done.

know most of you can relate to the very busy daily schedule of a mom. We cook, prepare the family for the daily routine (kids going to school husband to work), clean up, more household chores and usually a short pause to take a bath while also cleaning the bathroom.
We just can’t do one thing at once right? Like when we take a bath, we have to maximize our time and resources (sayang ang tubig!). And even if we get advice such as stop multi-tasking, it really is what makes us who we are.
Being a mom is not easy and I know you are doing an awesome job but you know you can actually make your life easier. Even if we choose to do more than one thing at a time, we can really make our life easier by choosing the right products to use in our homes and by creating an effective cleaning schedule.

Here’s an Effective Cleaning Schedule For Moms

An effective cleaning schedule will help you in maintaining your house clean with less effort. With an effective cleaning schedule, you are assured that every aspect of your house is given the right attention with less fuss. Cleaning schedules are divided into categories depending on how frequent you need to clean. We have a daily cleaning schedule, a weekly cleaning schedule, monthly, and yearly.

How do you start planning your cleaning schedule? The first thing you need to do is list all areas in your house that need cleaning. Divide that list into 4 and that will constitute your weekly schedule. Let me share you my weekly cleaning schedule:

What should be on your daily cleaning schedule? Cleaning chores that won’t take an hour long should be on your daily schedule. Examples are sweeping the floor, quick dusting, putting out toys, making the bed and simple tasks that won’t take too much of your time.

How about the bathroom — especially the toilet bowl? We all know it’s one of the more difficult (not to mention dirtiest) tasks around the house. Quick bathroom cleaning can be done while taking a bath. Deep bathroom cleaning can be done weekly. The tricky part is achieving a clean and fresh-smelling bathroom all the time. But there’s a solution to that — try using Mr Muscle® Fresh Discs to keep your toilet bowl clean and the bathroom smelling fresh.

How to use Mr Muscle Fresh Discs

Make sure you clean the toilet bowl first before using the Fresh Discs (I also used Mr Muscle® toilet bowl cleaner).

Step 1. Slide the two pieces of Mr Muscle® Fresh Discs together so the button on the tube clicks into the
handle.

Step 2. Remove cap and position end of gel tube near the rim on inside of bowl.

Step 3. Press and hold button down while pushing unit against bowl’s surface. When button clicks into the next
hole, pull unit back to leave a gel stamp. Ensure the disc is placed near the rim where water would flow
on to it when flushed.

FLUSH! Each disc lasts up to 7 days! That is why you can enjoy a week of a clean and fresh-smelling bathroom.

Try watching this video on YouTube from Mr Muscle® Singapore to see it in action.



Where to buy Mr Muscle Fresh Discs? Check out leading supermarkets and store, It’s available in two variants: Lavender and Citrus.

This article is Sponsored by Mr Muscle® but all opinions are mine. To know more about Mr Muscle Fresh Discs and other Mr Muscle products, follow Mr Muscle on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MrMusclePhilippines/

Monthly Cleaning Schedule
Scheduled cleaning that is done every month includes household chores or cleaning that needs a lot of time or attention. As I have mentioned with our weekly schedule, use only 4 days a week so you can devote 1 or 2 days a week for your monthly cleaning schedule. Since this kind of cleaning needs time and effort, the most effective way of doing this is to divide it into 4.

Here’s a sample:

  1. Kitchen and dinning
  2. Bedrooms and bathroom
  3. Living Room and hallways
  4. Outside

Each one on the list gets a day from your weekly cleaning schedule. What are the examples of cleaning chores that are usually done on a monthly basis? Deep clean appliances such as the refrigerator, gas range, washing machine, oven, and electric fan. Changing of curtains, deep cleaning of carpets, and deep cleaning of walls.

Other household cleaning schedule that you also need to consider are those that is done every 4 months such as air conditioner cleaning, pest control, and deep cleaning of windows. Cleaning of roof and rain gutter are done every year. Cleaning/draining of the septic tank should be done every 3 years or 5 years.

5 Different Christmas Ham Philippines You Can Buy This Holiday

Ham and Queso de bola. When I was a kid, I really don’t know why our Noche Buena and Media Noche is never complete without these two. Basta I know it’s a family tradition that I should keep. History suggests that the presence of ham or jamon in a gathering symbolizes feast. So tara, let’s make your Noche Buena a more festive one with the different ham offerings from Virginia:

5 Different Christmas Ham Philippines You Can Buy This Holiday

Pear-Shaped Chicken Ham

Let’s start our list with Pear shaped hams. If you love anything chicken, and prefers it more than anything else, Virginia Pear- Shaped Chicken Ham is a must this Holiday.

It’s less salty and more on sweet aroma and uniquely juicy flavor. It goes well with or without the pineapple glaze (but I always like my ham with glaze hehe). Virginia Pear- Shaped Chicken Ham is available in ready-to-serve 800g size.

Pear-Shaped Ham

This is the pork version of pear shaped ham. It is mildly season so you taste more than just meat. If you love flavorful ham, ito ang bagay sa’yo.

Virginia Pear-Shaped Ham is available in 3 different sizes. May 500 grams, 800 grams, and 1 kg. This is what we like most about Virginia hams, you can have it in different sizes. Kung kaunti lang kayo sa bahay, the 500 grams is perfect.

Virginia Brick Ham 

Because it looks like a brick! That is my guess too eh. This ham is coated in a specially made pineapple glaze giving it that sweet-sour pineapple flavor. This is available in ready-to-serve 500g size.

Season’s Delight Ham

We all have that favorite ham right? And out of all the 5 hams in this list, this is my personal favorite. Aside from it is round (which for me is what a ham should be), I really love its tender juicy, meaty and salty profile.

Kung mapapansin nyo, I really love using cloves on my ham. It adds aroma and flavor.

Virginia Season’s Delight Ham is a round shaped ham made from coarsely ground pork, blended with specially selected ingredients to bring out that tender-juicy mouthfeel and create a well-rounded sweet-salty meaty profile with a hint of sweet-sour pineapple taste. Available in read-to-serve 1kg size.

Jamon de Bola

Here is another round shaped ham with ground meats and spices. Jamon de Bola is coated with glaze and medyo sweet ang flavor. It also has this smoky- meaty flavor.

Jamon de Bola is available in ready-to-serve size of 1 KG.

Ready-To-Serve Hams

What does it mean when it says ready to serve? Meaning it is cooked and is ready to serve straight out of packaging. But I suggest reheating it para mas lumabas ang flavor. And also reheating it with glaze gives it more character. Always let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing so that the juice of the ham won’t come out.

HACK: You can re use your oven toaster to heat your ham. If ham is too big, cut it in half (upper part vs lower part). When you arrange in on your serving plate, no one will notice! I do that almost every year.

Where to buy Virginia Hams?

Virginia hams are available in their Factory outlets nationwide. Check which outlet is near you: http://www.virginiafood.com.ph/FactoryOutlet 

It is also available in leading supermarkets and groceries nationwide. Compare ham prices by logging at Virginia website: http://www.virginiafood.com.ph/Hams
