5 Kitchen Hacks that Every Practical Mom Should Know






If there is one thing that we Filipinos love, that is no other than food and eating, no wonder we have a lot of Filipinos who cooks wonderful dishes. We always think about the memories and the bond that we build everytime we eat with our loved ones, and that is one of the reason why we always wanted to cook for our family and friends and that is why Jolly Claro Palm Oil shares not only how to save and budget your grocery but also in setting you up for a healthy-eating success.

Here are some kitchen hacks that won’t only focus on the health of the whole family but also boost your savings:

1.     Create a meal plan.  Meal planning won’t only save us time and money, it can also reduce our daily stress of thinking about what dish to prepare for the day.  In this day and age where fast-paced lifestyle is the new normal, weekly meal planning can save us from food waste. In addition, it’s also a great opportunity to delve into your cookbooks, collect recipes online, and build your library of recipes. This way, you won’t surely run out of new ideas while cutting your grocery cost.

2.  Prepare a grocery list.  With a bit of creativity and planning, you can make exciting and delicious meals by ensuring you have a grocery list on hand. Sothe trick is to keep a pen and a notepad and clip it in front of your fridge and pantry. Next, allot time in jotting down a list of everything that you have inside. For instance, you have a kilo of chicken breast, 10 eggs, or half a kilo of tilapia. Every time you use something up, immediately cross it off the list.  This trick will help you to see what you have and what you don’t have at a glance.

3. Compare prices for different groceries and brands. In addition to making a list, checking groceries and supermarkets near you about their latest promotions would help you in scoring the best deals and discounts. Checking various store flyers, websites, social media accounts, and comparing unit prices on different brands take time, but that extra amount of effort could make a huge difference to your savings account.

4. Keep a regular stock of must-have items in your kitchen. If you needed the reason to believe that you should keep in your pantry a list of ingredients essentials, think of this opportunity to expand your repertoire.   Cheese, eggs, and butter, are some of the dairy mainstays you can count on because of the many dishes you can make out of it. Chicken is one of the staples you can prepare in a variety of ways, so stocking up different parts for later use from legs, breast, and wings can save you from last-minute grocery runs. Lastly, we’re big proponents of items that don’t need refrigeration and are versatile to use in many dishes—like rice, pasta, canned tomatoes, and palm oil. Using cooking oil that has a high smoke point such as Jolly Claro Palm Oil, you can prepare a variety of flavorful recipes and dishes for the whole family. This hack won’t only save you time for lazy weeknight dinner recipes, you’ll be glad too that it’s there when your family is looking for deliciously no-fuss meals instead of calling for home delivery.



 5.   Buy in bulk and cook at home. A well-stocked pantry of kitchen essentials won’t only encourage you to cook exciting and relevant dishes, it’s also a winner to your wallet. Buy products in a bundle or in bulk, especially products that are non-perishable and can be stocked in the pantry like cooking oil. Jolly Claro Palm Oil is a healthier alternative because it is cholesterol-free and is rich in Vitamin A. “Palm oil is one of the underrated oils in the market, but Jolly Claro Palm Oil begs to differ as it doesn’t solidify as fast as other palm oils in the market and resists oxidation, which causes the ‘pag-anta’ or rancid after taste.  Unlike other tingi brands in the market, Jolly Claro Palm Oil boasts quality as it has gone through a 5-step process: twice filtered and refined thrice, true to its tagline “Oilinis, Oilinaw, Oilinamnam”, said Product Manager of Jolly Claro Palm Oil, Maita Monsalud. “Jolly Claro Palm Oil remains clear and neutral even after several usages, making it really sulit,” she added.


With these simple tricks, any practical homemaker who already loves food could save more and enjoy deliciously affordable meals for the whole family. Available at all major groceries and supermarkets nationwide, be sure to take advantage of Jolly Claro Palm Oil duo pack and save P10 in every purchase.For more information, visit their Facebook Page on https://www.facebook.com/JollyClaro/

Nutri 10 Plus, Vitamins Perfect For Child's Growing Needs

Summer is already here. The temperature last week was 34°c and its getting hotter everyday. We have to open our windows to make sure that we won't get suffocated because of the heat. Summer is also the season of flu, bacteria that can cause cough and build up of phlegm. Kids should always be geared with proper protection. Their body needs protection from harmful diseases. That's why I was so thankful that I used Nutri 10 vitamins for my Chelsea. This is the kind of vitamins that she really need. For sure most of you know that Chelsea is a picky eater. She only eat if we have Sinigang or gravy that she put in her steamed rice. After taking Nutri 10 for almost a month now. I noticed some changes in her appetite and daily routine.  Before, Chelsea stays up until 2 am and wakes up around 11 am. Thankfully that routine changed and she also started to eat vegetables. As a mom I'm always worried because I know that she is not getting the right nutrients that her

A quick trip down holiday memory lane

  Can you feel it? The cold breeze, holiday songs, festive decorations, and colorful lights and lanterns… it’s Christmas season, everybody! Filipinos are known to celebrate Christmas the longest – it starts with the BER months and ends in January. Along with parties and get-togethers, we also have different traditions to celebrate the yuletide season. Since I was a kid, I associated grapes and round fruits with the holiday season. My grandma used to buy a lot of grapes during the BER months and placed them on our table along with other fruits. The grapes were also hung on windows and doors to help bring in good fortune for the coming year. I remember her asking me who was eating the grapes as she noticed that they were slowly “disappearing” and I said it must have been my aunties and our cat. But… It was silly me all along, of course! My aunties ended up buying more, much to my delight.   For Christmas eve, my aunties and grandma would make their delicious fruit salad – a huge can of f
