Grocery Finds: Minute Maid + Monde Cream Puff

Gusto ko sanang gawing mainstay to sa blog ko.. grocery finds.. but I am not sure if I can maintain this, considering we don’t shop every week… but my mind has been telling me to start this meme.. it’s hard din not to share my grocery finds that other moms may like 🙂

These are my latest finds:

Perfect for meryenda no? Minute Maid Four Seasons mixed fruit is not as pulpy as its orange counterpart but I like it better than the other four seasons juice I have tasted. And Monde special cream puff is like bread pan with chocolate fillings.. actually it feels more like a chichirya than a bread.

How about you mommy? What’s your latest find? Share it with us!

Comfort Food!

On our way to Greenhills, hubby asked why I love Sbarro’s Baked Ziti..

It’s my favorite pasta dish! Whenever I think of pasta, that’s the only thing that comes to my mind, specially when I am not feeling well. The taste is so simple and yet it never fails to uplift my spirit.. top it with meatball + chili flakes.. ohh that’s what heaven is all about!

That’s what I had after spending two days in bed (virus argh!) After finishing the plate, I was back to my old self.. alive and kicking! LOL

Aside from Sbarro’s Baked Ziti..here are some of the foods that I consider my comfort foods:

Sinampalukang manok with kalamansi, fish sauce and lots of chili dip..

Sinigang na Baboy na sobrang asim

Rai Rai Ken’s noodle with lots of wasabe (the best yan pag may sipon)

Siomai with lots of chili garlic

Bulalo with kalamansi, fish sauce and lots of chili dip

Shawarma (spicy sauce please!)

Err, obviously, it’s the chili that gives the kick.. hindi naman ako mahilig sa maanhang.. pero when I am not feeling well, I crave for spicy food..It makes me feel better.. eh di ba nga may study na pepper can heal you.. baka psychological lang to hahaha but yes, chili flakes and company is a paracetamol to me 🙂

When The Universe Conspires..

Proning ako today.. OK that’s my coined word for Pronoia.. the opposite of paranoia.. that’s a state of mind where in, you feel like the universe conspires in your behalf (The Alchemist).. that’s exactly how I feel today.. ayayay! Happy thoughts on Monday!

A few weeks ago, I was planning a Bataan getaway.. and in the middle of my frustration over hotels and resorts in Bataan, hubby said we move the getaway to a more fitting date and a better location.. OK fine! After all my frustrations! grrrrrr And yes he was right, just around the corner is our 10th year of being mr&mrs.. perfect excuse to spend a weekend in the beach! And as if that is enough.. our anniversary falls on Friday!

Then we learned that my two boys are candidates for honor and that the exam for the candidates falls a few days before our planned getaway..talk about PERFECT TIMING! and another reason to celebrate (hahah confident talaga ako na kasama sila sa honor no).. It will be a busy week for me.. reviewing them and planning the getaway.. busy but very fulfilling week.
