The Perfect Christmas Gift For Coffee Lovers: NESCAFÉ RED MUG Machine

I love drinking coffee. Sometimes I wish I can have that foamy cappuccino without having to order at coffee shops.. or making it at the comfort of home without making some discomfort on my budget. You know what I mean right? Mahal ang mga coffee making machines!

Well not until NESCAFÉ RED MUG Machine comes into picture. Imagine for a special introductory price of PhP 1999.00 you can #StartCreating your very own coffee creation.

A few days ago, I had the chance to attend the launching event of NESCAFÉ RED MUG Machine. NESCAFÉ partnered with 4 coffee lovers and tasked them to create their own personal coffee creations using the NESCAFÉ RED MUG Machine. The NESCAFÉ RED MUG Machine Ambassadors are the recently engaged singer (You’re Face Sounds Familiar Contestant) and actress Denise Laurel; the creative marketing wiz Richard Gutierrez; the artist- turned- foodie and restaurateur Bianca King, and the animated and vibrant interior designer Tessa Prieto- Valdes.

Tessa Prieto- Valdes, being the creative spirit that she is, who loves putting her own spin on things to make it uniquely hers created a Christmas inspired coffee drink using the NESCAFÉ RED MUG Machine. She named her creation as Christmas Cinnamon Cappuccino. When asked what she love about the new NESCAFÉ RED MUG Machine, she said she loves the foaming feature because it makes her feel like a legit barista when she uses it. “It’s so fun to use and you can have a fancy coffee in a snap!”

Anything with cinnamon and I’m good!And yes, Tessa Prieto- Valdes’ Christmas Cinnamon Cappucino does reminds me of Christmas mornings!

All the guests during the event was grouped into 3, Team D for Denise, Team R for Richard and Team B for Bianca. I was with Team D! #fanmodeon

Denise Laurel called her creation Hug in a Mug Latte. “I love smell of coffee in the morning. The smell alone is enough to perk me up. Having a cup in the morning is like getting a warm, fuzzy hug from my fiancé Sol,” said Denise.

Using the new NESCAFÉ RED MUG Machine she mixes cookie butter with the flavor of NESCAFÉ CLASSIC and NESTLÉ COFFEE-MATE. “It’s my very own pick me up when I got home from a long shoot, tiring day, or anything in between!” And like Tessa, Denise agrees on how easy and fun it is to use the all new NESCAFÉ RED MUG Machine.

Richard Gutierrez on the other hand created Vanilla Chilled Coffee and Bianca King made Double Chocolate Mocha.

The “creation” process was a contest pala… and who can’t resist a nice warm hug specially if it’s in a mug? NO ONE! Team D won and all members got to take home a Crate&Barrel goodies:

Thank you NESCAFÉ for having us!

Planning Ahead Means Less Time in the Kitchen

Mothers have busy schedules. This is true no matter if a woman is a stay-at-home mom or if she has a job outside the home. Many mothers have a difficult time doing the things they genuinely enjoy because they are always busy and doing things that need to be done, like laundry, cooking, shopping and cleaning. Fortunately, there are lots of creative things that mothers can do to make their life easier, leaving more time for the things they enjoy.

Mothers spend lot of their time in the kitchen. They want to provide nutritious meals for their families. There are quite a few things that mothers can do to reduce the time they spend in the kitchen and make the entire experience much more enjoyable. There are two aspects they want to consider. First, they want to look at how their kitchen a set up and find ways to make the cooking experience and cleanup process easier. Second, they want to find ways to reduce cooking time.

The first thing to do is to look closely at all of the furnishings, appliances and utensils that are available in the kitchen. When there are the right tools available and enough space, a lot more can be accomplished. All mothers know how frustrating it is to try to prepare a meal on a small table or using little counter space. See if there are ways to organize appliances in a way that makes more space available for cooking. If possible, purchase tables or counter tops that can add space. Adding food service casters, or wheels, to the bottom of the tables or counter tops can make life easier. Cleanup will be a breeze and the tables and counter tops can be moved to make food prep easier. Having the right tools is also essential. Purchasing high quality tools means that money is not wasted on things that will not last long.

If a mother just leaves cooking to chance, it is not likely that her family will eat nutritious meals or that the family budget will be spent wisely. Planning ahead is essential. If you can take a little bit of time to make a meal plan and grocery list, you will have all of the items that are needed. Small things like freezing ready to put in the oven meals, pre-chopping veggies for future dishes, and enlisting the help of the kids are just a couple of things that will save time and make cooking fun.
