These corn cans has been sitting on our kitchen cabinet for weeks. Waiting for the perfect moment, the perfect dish where it can be used. These corns are Mega Prime’s newest product (I guess) and I was sent 2-3 cans of each variant. Corn Muffin Recipe Using Cream Style Corn

Finally, the right dish came along for the whole kernel corn. Chili con Carne nonetheless. Our all time favorite! We can eat this dish everyday.. only, I am always tamad to cook because chili con carne mixture is hard to find. Then I discovered the magic spice called Badia’s Complete Seasoning®. It smells like chili con carne or even tacos but not too much. I bought it at Landers Superstore Balintawak. You should visit that store!

In all its “untouched” glory. Usually, I serve it in individual bowls, rice topped with the ulam and cheese then microwave. Kaso sira ang microwave ko (still looking which brand to buy) so I can’t do the usuals. So we baked it and turned out as good. Yun lang, sayang ang gas! Ang tagal sa oven eh.

It so happens that I accidentally open a cream style corn while preparing our chili corn carne. Eh since sayang ang pre heating, might as well use the extra heat to bake corn muffin! So, Corn Muffin Recipe Using Cream Style Corn ang star ng post na ito and not chili con carne.

My son asked why are the eggs from Healthy Options are brown and not white?

Because these eggs came from free-range hens that are grown naturally. According to Rydahl Bangkas, Farm Business Manager at Healthy Options, Our free-range hens are grown naturally in spacious farms where they can freely roam and carry out their chicken behaviors (pecking, nesting, scratching etc). Our partner farmers do not use artificial farming methods that will force hens to go beyond their natural egg-laying ability.”

The free-range hens where these eggs came from are the brown variety, which lays brown eggs. I came to the conclusion that these kind of hens are more ideal in a free-range set up so that is why. Readings says that the color of the eggs are mainly influenced by the color of the hen. I always thought that brown eggs are organic.

It’s doesn’t mean yes all the time but rest assured that the brown eggs from Healthy Options came from free-range Hens.

“Quality food and living conditions are essential to producing quality eggs,” Bangkas added. “Eggs are sourced from hens that live in a clean and spacious environment where they can freely forage for worms, insects, and plants. In turn, we get to enjoy tasty eggs that come from happy hens.”

Delivered to the stores fresh with a shelf life of up to one month in the chiller, find these all-natural eggs at the following Healthy Options branches: Trinoma, SM City North Edsa, Robinsons Magnolia, Eastwood City, SM Megamall, Shangri-La Plaza, Glorietta 2, Greenbelt 5, Rustan’s Makati, Powerplant Mall, SM City Manila, SM Aura, Alabang Town Center, Festival Supermall, and Solenad 3 Nuvali.

A staple in my kitchen are spreads, chocolate spreads, butter spreads, mayonnaise and of course sandwich spreads. We love spreads that much, lalo na when it is mayonnaise based. I will use mayonnaise in every possible ways (adik lang sa mayo haha). Last week, we got to try the newest spreads from Lady’s Choice, Lady’s Choice Chicken BBQ and Roast Beef Spreads.

Lady’s Choice Chicken BBQ and Roast Beef Spreads

Two new variants of spreads from our favorite brand, ilabas na ang mga tinapaaaaay! Coincidentally, Robinsons Supermarket send us a basket (3 baskets actually!) of breads in celebration of World Bread Day. Swak na swak sa baon at meryenda ng mga bagets.

Let’s start with Lady’s Choice Chicken BBQ Spread. The NEW Lady’s Choice Chicken BBQ Spread got the right blend of creamy spread and real chicken bits for a delicious and healthy sandwich according to their website. They forgot to mention that it also a bit smokey. Did I described it right? (I can never be a foodie blogger! Peachy help!! haha). In lay man’s term, lasang lasa ang pag ka BBQ nya mga teh. Gets na? And since hindi naman kasosyal ang lola nyo at mas mahilig sa BBQ kesa sa roast, I prefer this over the roast beef.

The new Lady’s Choice Roast Beef Spread is good too. It’s not just for me but I could eat it basta may Gardenia bread. My kids on the other hand, prefers this one. They eat anything with beef kase.

The sandwich in the photo above, it was “invented” by my kids. For some reasons, nagustuhan nila anything with green pears so they tried putting green pears on their sandwiches. Patok! Go ahead and try it too.
