The Kitchen Mom by dhess

Dole and Seasons kicked off their ‘Cash Prizes Araw-Araw Base sa Sikat ng Araw’ promo last May 25, and many daily winners are already enjoying their prizes!  The lucky winner of Php 17,200 is Diana Non, from Taguig City. She chanced upon the promo after being a long-time follower of Dole on Facebook. “ Napanood ko yung live ni Gretchen & Robi, pinakinggan ko ang mechanics and super na-excite ako talaga. Kaya bumili agad ako ng Dole Pineapple Juice para makasali,” she said. (“I caught Gretchen & Robi’s livestream, so I listened to the mechanics and it got me really excited. That’s why after watching the live show, I immediately purchased Dole Pineapple Juice to join,” she said.) Non expressed her gratitude, as the money had been life-changing saying, “Sobrang laking tulong ito sa akin at sa aking pamilya, lalo na sa panahon na ito na mahirap ang hanapbuhay dahil sa pandemya. Sobrang natuwa ako kasi may tindahan ako na kakasimula lang nung January, yung perang napanalunan k

  Sharp Philippines’ AQUOS LCD TV has entered its 20th anniversary. And what a better way to celebrate this momentous occasion than to launch a new series of 4K TVs? These upcoming LCD TVs remind us how much Sharp has innovated their products over two decades of providing quality entertainment products. It felt just like yesterday, but 2001 was the pivoting point of Sharp when it turned its tube TVs into LCD TVs. Gone are the days when we had to hit the tube to get a clearer image; with the newest line-up from Sharp, all you have to do is power the device, sit back, and relax. Sharp PH officially unveils a 70-inch 4K Smart Android TV with Google voice assistant and Google Duo for video call! Since cinemas and theaters are still closed, it is a wise thing to invest in your home entertainment. A TV upgrade will definitely come in handy when you want to unwind with your loved ones after a tiring day at work. Who needs to go out for movies if you feast your eyes and ears on an immersive ex

It is never too early to get your kids eating healthy. Of course, that is easier said than done for a generation of children weaned on fast-food and chicheria. But that’s not to say you should just give up. On the contrary, you should strive all the more to introduce your bundles of joy to healthy treats! One of the secrets to doing that is by getting creative with the snacks you give your kids, so they can enjoy snack time and get nutritional benefits at the same time.  Lucky you then because Gullón is now in local shores, and it is here to help you! One of Europe’s leading biscuit manufacturers, Gullón is renowned for its crackling tasty treats, from its choco-flavored Dibus Sharkies crackers to its savory fish-shaped Mini-Fish biscuits. Gullón’s crackers also have nutritive value as a serving of it will give your kids 6 grams of protein and 2.3 grams of fiber. Protein, of course, is vital to your kids’ growth and development. Fiber, on the other hand, is essential in ensuring a h

  The present situation has opened the door for fathers to play a more vital role in their child’s growth and development. With them spending a lot more time at home than ever before, dads can now share the load in running the household with their partners. Research has shown that parent-child interactions in the early ages can lead to more positive cognitive and socio-emotional benefits and more are recognizing the unique benefits of father-child play. Former MILO champion Japoy Lizardo has taken this trend to heart as a father to his sons Jace and Jevi. In celebration of Father’s Day, he offers his tips and advice for dads to help them be more involved and take a more active role in caring for their children. First and foremost is the need to be as resourceful and creative as he can to take care of his kids’ physical health. “Ngayon mas kailangan maging creative and resourceful para sa mga activities ng mga kids. Unlike before na pupunta lang kayo sa park at maglalaro o pupunta lang

  Dads are known as the providers of the family, the ‘pillar of the home’. While they’re usually the ones who go out to work to earn a living, they always make time to bond and share fun and delightful moments with their wife and kids. With the ongoing pandemic still forcing most of us to stay at home, dads have had to expand their roles and skills like learning new recipes and cooking, taking up hobbies to bond with their kids, and doing DIY projects to redecorate their house—they do these and so much more while juggling work-from-home duties. This just shows that no matter how stressful things can get, they still constantly find ways to show their love and dedication to their families. Indeed, each day is an opportunity to show gratitude for dads, but a timely message that’s often left out is “I’m proud of you, dad!” With Father’s Day drawing near, there’s nothing more special—and endearing—than expressing this heartfelt thought with any of Red Ribbon’s delectable cakes and pastries

 One of the things that I can remember of my childhood is the Philippine Independence dlDay celebration. Waking up hearing the national anthem being sung from the television while the Philippine Flag raising is being re-enacted in Aguinaldo Shrine, I remember creating the Philippine flag using bond paper and crayon and attaching it to a skewer so I can display it outside of our house, while my Lola is preparing our lunch early with our favorite adobo or sinigang. Years may have passed, and I may now have my own family, but this nostalgic feeling is always present during this celebration. Even with the new normal that we have due to the pandemic, I still try to do simple celebrations to commemorate the independence of our country and also teach my daughter how to create her Philippine flag. For this year, instead of preparing a simple meal, we have decided to order our food via GrabFood Delivery for our favorite Filipino Food. Aside from saving time in preparation, this also helps our

  Canada is known for the endless beautiful land, the incredible people, and some of the best food and views you could ask for. It's such a popular moving destination that there's immediately a spike in people applying for citizenship in the Great White North whenever there's an election in another country. Still, many aren't sure if investing in real estate is worth it or if it's a waste of money. Here are some perks to consider if the allure is calling to you! The Prices In Rural Areas Although you won't find much cheap property in the main cities, the further out you go, the cheaper it gets. Some homes in Canada sell for  as low as $25,000 ! Of course, most property is far more expensive than this; if you're willing to search and take your time, you can find a property that has everything you want for far cheaper than you'd find in the United States. Endless Space and Expansion Canada takes its greeneries seriously  and works hard to keep the coun

If there’s anything we love about mothers, it’s the fact that they’re always willing to be a part of their children’s lives, helping them improve in every way. That’s especially true while families may be spending time apart during the pandemic. We can always find ways to show our heartfelt love for our moms no matter how challenging it might be right now. This year’s Mother’s day video shows how we can give love to our moms through food made with her favorite NutriAsia products that she’s relied on over the years. NutriAsia—home of well-loved brands Datu Puti, Silver Swan, UFC, Mang Tomas, and Papa—pays tribute to moms and the idea of showing them our love through the restrictions of the pandemic with a follow-up to their touching and award-winning Mother’s Day video from 2020. This year’s video shows how we can give love to our moms through food made with her favorite NutriAsia products that she’s relied on over the years. It’s the perfect inspiration for anyone who wants to give bac

 It’s a rainy Monday morning. Ten years ago, it would have been the perfect setting to do nothing while waiting for class suspension. I kind of envy my daughter being on vacation and having the day to fiddle and play games on her phone. I was facing my computer, contemplating my next article when I remembered that it was Memorial Day. I should take the day off but as a mom working from home, what’s the difference between a holiday and a regular working day? It’s not like I could go outside to destress, then an idea came to mind. It turned out, I didn’t have to envy my daughter at all.            What’s the best source of entertainment within the confines of our home? If you answered mobile and computer gaming, you’re absolutely right! It was in college when I got really hooked on gaming. Sure, consoles back in my younger days Like Play Station 1, SEGA Genesis, and NES were awesome, but you had to buy each CD or cartridge to play the game, which is way too expensive for us back in the d
