Christmas 2010 ROCKS!

There are so many reasons why Christmas 2010 rocks.

My sister who flew last November in Singapore to look for a better life came back with a good news and we were able to spend Christmas day with her and her son. The kids are all happy being together again. Ad we got to spend some time chatting, talking about life, natural colon cleansers, people who are important to us and people who made our life meaningful.

Spending Christmas with my family is a tradition to us. New Year is for my husband’s side. For this year, we decided not to cook (save for the macaroni soup and ham and tenderloin steak). I mean, we did not stressed ourselves cooking more dishes that we can actually eat and it is super fun! As my sister put it: “eating is best when you’re not tired from preparing it.” Agree much?

Other than spending it with my family, again, a truth was slapped right into our face. It was fun nonetheless, it just affirmed our love for each other.

And oh, a big decision was made during this time!

Chocolate Mango Mousse by Red Ribbon

Our Noche Buena menu is almost complete.. dishes, ham, queso de bola, ice cream.. but cake. So when I heard that Red Ribbon createdChocolate Mango Mousse( a limited edition premium cake), I just have to try one and see for myself if it is worth the space on our table (and on our tummy) this coming Christmas.

Red Ribbon combines two of the most loved dessert ingredients to create one delightful cake. It is made with a layer of creamy mango mouse with juicy mango bits on top of silky chocolate mousse and moist chocolate pound cake and generously embraced with chocolate ganache. As a finale, mango scoops and shaved chocolate are placed on top to makeChocolate Mango Mousseboth delicious and beautiful.

Chocolate Mango Mousse is available for only P700.00 for a whole cake and P70.00 for a slice. I bought a whole for the whole family and for some friends who are came last Saturday. I find the cake so smooth and so addicting. It is not too sweet, just the right amount of sweetness coming from the chocolate and mango.

So yes, this will be the cake in our Noche Buena table.

Soyami Nachos Salad

One of the kind people/company who agreed to grace our party was Soyami Soya Chips. I fisrt had a taste of this chip last October. We were invited to attend thelaunch of Soyami Soya Chips. You know I never really like chips, specially for my kids. I just felt that it’s not healthy.. but a chips made out of Soya.. now that is something we all can eat. In fact, I even let Sati had a taste of this healthy chips.

Since I had a taste of Soyami, I long for the day where I can prepare it as Nacho salad. In case you did not notice,baliw kami sa Tacos, nachos at chili con carne.

When I found out we had someSoyami treats in our loot bag, I did not hesitate to prepare nachos, Soyami style.. and ohh… I can’t get enough of it! Soyami Soya Chips is so perfect for Nachos Salad!
