Sweets for your man

Do you ever have those moments when you’re out of ideas how to please your man? I am fortunate that I married a guy who is easy to please. It doesn’t take expensive gadgets (though he’d surely be happy to get one), or branded clothing or out-of-this-world surprises to make him happy. A simple home [...]


eat in moderation

Just a little reminder for everyone this Christmas season. I know most of you have already started your Christmas parties in school, work, church, family, etc… Every week, there sure is a party happening to which you’re invited. It won’t be easy saying no to delicious food, but if you don’t watch out, you just [...]


it’s not diet time for me (yet)

We went out for groceries the other night and came home with two flavors of yummy ice cream, and lots of grilled chicken from Bacolod Manokan Country, which is famous for its chicken, with the sought-after Bacolod chicken savor. Oh, I would like to catch up eating all the food I miss while in Europe, [...]


food binging again

I am guilty of indulging in unhealthy foods lately – icecream, rice, fatty meats, pizzas… and eating plenty! I wouldn’t be surprised if somebody comments that I am already getting bigger or if they suggest I take fast weight loss pills. Hahaha! Its more appealing to eat in company of loved ones, that’s why! Anyway, [...]


i heart dobrá máma

Dobrá máma is a Czech phrase which means good mama.  It’s the name of yoghurt I love to eat.  I got to taste it first when it was served during breakfast in the hospital where I gave birth to my second child.  I liked the vanilla flavor and since then I always stock on it [...]


positive eating habits

With our desire to be healthy and fit, we tend to put restrictions on what to put on our plates. Isn’t it that after reading an article or two from food and diet experts, we’re very much determined to follow their advice? The need to eat healthy is good, but we also have to be [...]


missing the taste of sweet potatoes

sweet potato fritters I miss eating sweet potato fritters! This kind of root crop is definitely not common here. Potatoes yes, but sweet potatoes? They’re expensive as we have to buy it from an Asian Store which sells imported goods from (where else) Asia! I was drooling as I read the recipe of the Pecan [...]


tiny biscuits: my lifesaver

These Sachr Noir coffee biscuits from Makro that the grandma gave to our daughter keeps the tiny tyke busy. She loves nibbling it. While she’s eating it, I take the chance to do my stuff very quickly.    Also whenever we go out, I don’t fail to place a bunch into my bag.  It’s convenient to [...]


i got an invitation

An unexpected message popped out from my YM earlier. It was L inviting me for a small party she’s throwing out at her place tomorrow. The usual bunch of eaters, errr girlfriends will be there and also their husbands. I’m still unsure whether to go or not. I don’t like going out when the weather’s [...]


no good!

I tried my hand in making chicken macaroni salad today. That’s after seeing chicken salad in one of the blogs I dropped EC and also after eating out on Sunday in a buffet serving macaroni salad. Back to my experiment, it was challenging to make it tasty coz for one thing, the canned pineapple they [...]
