These bloggers inspired me to start my blog that focuses on parenting, food, and lifestyle. I decided to tell my husband about my plan and, I was able to get his support to start my blog "The Kitchen Mom by Dhess." My goal back then was to write my personal experiences about parenting and lifestyle, recipes of my favorite dishes that I prepare for my family, and a personal review of the places and restaura

Buko Pandan with Nata de Coco Recipe

Buko Pandan is one of my family's all time favourite dessert.  Sino nga ba ang ayaw ng Buko Pandan. Ito yung lagi namin inoorder sa restaurant for dessert. Simula nung nag lockdown at hindi kami makalabas ng buong pamilya, pinag-aralan ko nalang gawin yung mga paboritong pagkain ng mga bata lalo na ang dessert katulad nitong Buko Pandan. Akala ko noong una, mahirap gawin pero hindi pala. Ilang ingredients lang ang kailangan at hindi complicated ang procedure.  Mas naging Creamy Sarap pa ang Special Buko Pandan ko dahil ginamitan ko Ito ng Jolly Cow Condensada. Swak din Ito sa budget nating mga nanay dahil Ito ay affordable.  Bukod sa Creamy Sarap na dessert maganda din itong gawin negosyo.  Buko Pandan Jelly with Nata de Coco  Ingredients 1 can Jolly Cow Condensada 390g 1 bottle Nata de Coco 1 250ml All purpose cream 3 cups kinayod na buko 1 cup fresh buko juice For the Gelatin 1 pack Buko pandan flavored Gulaman 5 cups fresh buko juice 1/2 cup white sugar 2 Pandan leaves Instruct
