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!

  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

Here’s the newest meat alternative that looks, tastes and is priced like real meat. Its a generally accepted notion that eating healthy means skipping great-tasting food.   Not anymore. Now its completely possible to enjoy the best of both worlds as Century Pacific Food Inc. (CNPF), one of the largest branded food companies in the Philippines, unveils its newest brand: unMEAT, a 100% plant-based meat, made tasty from simple ingredients.  One of the biggest concerns about plant-based foods is that they are not delicious or as pleasing to the palate as real meat, notes Nikki Dizon, a Senior Executive at CNPF.

  Blueberries, although not native to our country, have captured the hearts and tastebuds of many Filipinos. Who can deny the charisma of this fruit? Aside from its attractive dark purple color, the balanced flavor of tart and sweet makes blueberries delicious for jams, cakes, pastries, and fruit shakes.

  As a mother, nothing is more important than the safety and well-being of our family. During the time of Enhanced Community Quarantine ( ECQ ) , aside from ensuring the safety of my family and loved ones, the entire duration of lockdown made me realize a lot of things that I should be thankful for. Before the pandemic started, we all wished for days where we can only stay at home, relax, do nothing, or have time to spend with your family. Although not in a way that we are expecting it, Covid -19  turned things 180 degrees. Everyone was advised to stay at home, and jobs were halted for more than two months and adjust to a new normal to prevent the virus from spreading.  For the entire duration of the lockdown, I was thankful enough to be with my husband and daughter, for quite some time that we were not able to have enough time to bond due to work and other errands, the quarantine has been the perfect opportunity for my husband and me to spend quality time with our daughter and for us

“Break Bread, Make Music Together” The idea of Bayanihan is something that is deeply embedded in our culture. Regardless of how little or how much we have, it is wired in our DNA to always help, share, and support others, especially during times of crisis. This selflessness is what Gardenia Philippines successfully captured on its “Laging Kasama” concert, a free virtual concert that was held to celebrate Happy Bread Day. The event, which happened on October 24, 2020 via Facebook Live, gathered some of the best musical acts in the country who entertained everyone with their catchy tunes. The musical gathering invited renowned and rising stage performers like Kim Molina and Jerald Napoles (Rak of Aegis, Jowable, and Ang Pangarap Kong Holdap), Gloc 9, Ebe Dancel, and Keiko Necesario.

 There are a number of reasons why people love eggs – it’s easy to cook, versatile, and one of the cheapest and convenient protein sources. Filipinos have especially stocked up on this pantry staple amid the height of lockdowns due to COVID-19 pandemic.  Based on the consumption survey conducted in 2015 by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute of the Department of Science and Technology (FNRI-DOST), chicken eggs ranked seventh on the “Top 30 Commonly Consumed Food Items” in the Philippines, proving that it is an indispensable ingredient in a household. While eggs are often seen as an accompaniment to our breakfast silog meals, it has many other uses from making quick meals, a thickener and binding agent, to adding flavor.  Eggs are packed with nutrients that children need for healthy growth and development. It contains vitamins and minerals and all nine essential amino acids that the human body cannot produce on its own, making it an ingredient that can be easily added to other foo

If there’s one thing that’s true about the new normal, it’s that everyone needs to stick together to get through this. Standing as one and our  malasakit  needs to shine the most through these trying times. It’s great to see that we encounter stories of our  kababayans  uplifting each other up with supporting local and buying local nowadays. It is from the same value of malasakit and bayanihan that Locally Blended Juice Drink—the first local brand of uniquely concocted drinks that come from indigenous fruits sourced from the rich and colorful Filipino soil—sought to find the most talented local artists who could also show their support and honor for our local farmers through art. Last July, the brand put out a call for all kinds of artwork—digital, traditional, or even unconventional— through the #LivinLovinLocal Art Contest, which shows not only the drink, but also their love for the Philippines, all the beautiful things one can find in the country, and most importantly, honouring
