The Kitchen Mom by dhess

We are Turning 4 this year! At first , I decided to start writing on my blog to put my recipe or just to post my mommy adventures. But as day goes by I noticed that there are people who liked reading and visiting my blog. Of course, I was really happy that time, I didn't think that sharing my thoughts and my hobby will help  and inspire people especially mommies. There was a time that I decided to stop blogging and just focus on being a stay at home mom but reading the comments and private messages from mommies makes me decides to continue sharing what I have, what I've  learned as a mom, as a wife, and as a person who also have flaws.

There are also people and ...

During the Holy Week, we make sure to cook anything like fish, seafoods, vegetable an no meat. Most of the Catholics will refrain from eating meat starting Maundy Thursday to Black Saturday. Maybe most of the market vendors are aware of this, that's why the price of the seafoods specially fish and vegetables are really expensive. I went out this afternoon, I was planning to buy some Milkfish and prepare Sinigang , A Filipino well known soup dish but I was so shocked that the price of 1 whole Milkfish is like same price of  beef and pork. I decided to buy some vegetables like chives, celery, mixed vegetables, eggs and went back home. Good thing that I have the easy open can Uni-Pak Mackerel, napakadaling buksan.This is also perfect to bring when you go out of town or camping. Mackerel contains high amount of Omega-3 fatty acid which help prevents cardiovascular disease and promote brain health. Kaya mga lovelies basta Mackerel dapat tatak Uni-Pak. I'm going t...
