We all woke up sick today. Our 5-year old had it since the other day and our 6-year old started coughing on our way home from the South last night. Our eldest also has the sniffles. My husband and I got it worse though, because we’re the ones who actually caught the bug full force. In fact, it took my husbandy the whole day to get up from the bed to get his ass to his production meeting in the afternoon. Anyway, we just got our orders of organic veggies and meat from The Green Grocer and I was excited to […]
Easy Recipes: Homemade Spaghetti Sauce
I’ve been meaning to post something else the past few days but I’ve been physically exhausted lately that my brain just feels too drained to do it. But….I thought while I wait for the muse to come, I’ll share with you how I did Homemade Spaghetti Sauce for lunch yesterday. We’ve long replaced the local spaghetti sauce we used to buy from the supermarket with a bottled one (San Remo) in our attempt to go healthier on the food we serve our kids. It’s a lot more expensive than the locally packed brand but we thought health is always worth […]
Easy Recipes: No Churn Creamy Vanilla Ice Cream
So where were you last night for Valentine’s? We were home catching up on a Pinoy teleserye on iWantTV and eating our homemade creamy Vanilla Ice Cream.

So I took pains in carefully writing down our menu and supermarket items so that I could prepare something a little more special for the evening. Anyway, the Vanilla Ice Cream turned out perfect! It was pretty […]
Easy Recipes: Buttered Garlic Mushroom and Leftover Chicken
Today I cooked Buttered garlic mushroom and chicken. I always try to cook just enough of our food and not serve too much that will just end up a waste. I mean, have you ever kept leftover food in the refrigerator then forget about it? Then when you do remember you have it, it’s no longer good and you have to throw it away. But I don’t always measure my food well. Blame it on my Math skills, haha! So today I found a few pieces of chicken in the freezer that I just didn’t know what to do with. […]
Easy Recipes: Tuna, Mushrooms and Capers Pasta Dish
Do you have a go-to dish you depend on when you’ve got absolutely no time to prepare for guests coming over? I do. I call it Tuna, Mushrooms and Capers Pasta dish, but that’s just me, haha! It’s got many names to many people. It’s actually a dish that got around our Alabang church, almost all the wives I knew then can serve it. It took me a while to find out who introduced it. And not surprisingly, I found out that it was my friend Miel, whose couple of recipes I shared here in my previous posts. (Read: Low Sodium […]
