With rice being our staple food here in the Philippines, no wonder that at a young age most of us learned how to cook it. From the traditional clay pot where it was used to be cooked then to our trusty "kalderos" at home, It takes the right amount of water and just the right flame to cook the rice and if you weren't lucky enough, you'll either toast the rice or it will end up uncooked. Nowadays you do not need to undergo years of training to cook rice in a right manner, all you need to do is rely on your kitchen buddy rice cooker and it will do the job for you. Rice cookers have already surpassed its sole purpose and have become a versatile kitchen appliance, aside from cooking, some find it perfect for baking, cooking viands, and many more.

Being a mom, we are used to waking up early and sleep late. Making sure that everything is in place and ready for the next day. It is the same with the meal that I prepare for my family. A one-dish meal that we can share during lunch or dinner time. When I say one dish meal, it means it's already packed with all the nutrients and vitamins that our body needs, especially for growing up kids. What's good about the one dish meals aside from it having a full meal in one, it is also not time-consuming. You can finish a simple dish in 15-30 minutes. As long as you have the right ingredients and seasoning in your kitchen, preparing a yummy and healthy dish will be easy. If I don't have much time to do grocery shopping, I usually check what's available in the fridge or in our food stock. Here is one of the recipes that I can share with you that you can also prepare for your family ************************** Healthy Meal: Pan-fried Tofu with Mixed G

Cooking can be simple and easy for some and others might find it a bit difficult to handle for different reasons. Some started to value and know the importance of cooking or making a mess in the kitchen at an early age but still enjoys the atmosphere and willing to learn more about it. Young professionals today are not only eating out more but also leaning heavily on the convenience of takeout. But that leads to a whole different set of problems.

That can lead to weight gain and all the health problems that come with an unhealthy diet.
