Our Years Of Shopwise Magical Christmas

A mom from our Facebook support group asked where’s the best place to shop for Noche Buena and Media Noche and most moms answered SHOPWISE. Kahit naman ako, sagot ko din Shopwise. We have been doing our Noche Buena and Media Noche shopping sa Shopwise ever since the world begun. Even though the nearest Shopwise is in Quezon City pa, it has to be Shopwise. Why? All I need for Christmas (and New Year) celebration nasa Shopwise. From my handa to Christmas decors and some last minute Christmas gift shopping. And I am speaking from years of expereince of shopping at Shopwise a few days before the celebrations.

First Christmas sa sarili naming bahay. Syempre I want it to be as grand or as memorable as possible. We need some new Christmas decors, some new plates and the likes pero short naman sa budget kase kalilipat nga lang. Shopwise was the answer to my dilemma.

Mura kase ang Christmas decors sa Shopwise and aside from the usual decors, I was also able to buy plates, glass and table runner for Christmas.

For New Year, to complete our Media Noche fruit baskets, we always check first the fruit section in Shopwise.

I can’t remember a year that we were not able to complete the 13 fruits needed for Media Noche fruit basket since Shopwise have all the fruits, round fruits, we need.

There was a time that we decided to have wine and cheese platter for Christmas because we noticed how big the wine and cheese selection at Shopwise.

We have no wine brand preference for now so wala akong ma i sa suggest sa inyo. Pero what I can tell you is sa Shopwise, you can find the cheap wines and expensive ones. Marami kang choices. Same goes when it comes to cheese, you can buy per 100 grams.

Las Christmas naman, we invited my brother in law’s family to spend Noche Buena with us. We already have a gift for their baby girl which we brought at their house already.. but since they will be spending Christmas with us, we decided to buy her another one.

Shopwise never failed me when it comes to this area of adulting. They always have something na pwedeng ipang regalo. From toys to small house appliances, clothes and even gadgets like charger and ear phones.

And of course their wide assortment of Christmas basket that caters to our budget. They have affordable assortments and there are expensive ones din.

The best part for me is the wide range of meat that is available sa Shopwise. We can always have the steak that my kids look forward to, or the BBQ that my ate wants. Or the chicken for our macaroni salad. And speaking of, I love how Shopwise highlights ang mga pambansang panghanda like Macaroni salad and fruit salad.

Holiday Ham never runs out of supply sa Shopwise. That’s our favorite Christmas ham, sarap kase and very real ang lasa.

Shopwise has been a part of our Christmas tradition talaga. And this year will be no different. As I was checking Shopwise Facebook Page for their schedule, I saw this video:


Wide variety, wide assortment, wide selection, tingnan nyo, parehas kame ng description ni Mariel ng Shopwise.

We’re planning to do our shopping this weekend for our Noche Buena, how about you momshie? are you done with your Noche Buena shopping? Kailan kayo mamimili sa Shopwise?

3 French Toast Recipes You Should Try

You love french toast? First time to hear about it? Wag kang mag alala, you are not alone. Is it a FRENCH food gaya ng french fries? They call it lost bread in Europe. Ito yung mga tinapay na wala ng buhay kaya binigyan ng panibagong kulay. Ano daw? Basically, yung tinapay na malapit na amagin, lalagyan ng gatas at itlog atsaka ipiprito. What’s the best French Toast recipe? MADAMI! But I am going to share just 3 🙂

Let’s start with the basic French Toast but we are going to use condensed milk instead of plain milk:

  • a pack condensed milk (ito yung naka box na Alasaka ha)
  • 3-4 pcs egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • isang kurot na asin (yung pino ha)

Mix all ingredients then soak the bread quickly. Yung mabilis pa sa sweldo mong hindi man lang uminit sa palad mo ha. Fry this and eat! Or pede mo i freezer pag ka prito mo then iinit sa oven. Kung naka score ka sa Gardenia ng buy 1 take 1 nila, ito ang gawin mo.

Ayaw na ng basic? Dito naman tayo sa sushal na French Tiast recipe from The Peach Kitchen, ang pinaka magaling kumuha ng food photos na food blogger.

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 4 tbsp milk
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp nutmeg
  • 4 slices bread, cut into 1-inch thick strips (I used the raisin loaf that’s shaped like a baguette bought at French Baker)
  • 1 cup crushed Corn Flakes
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Maple syrup, for dippings

How to cook Corn Flakes-Crusted French Toast Sticks:

  1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Put crushed corn flakes in a plate for dredging.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together, eggs, milk, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  4. Working one at a time, dip the bread strips into the egg mixture, then dredge in the crushed Corn Flakes, pressing to coat.
  5. Add the bread strips to the skillet, 3-4 at a time, and cook until evenly golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
  6. Serve immediately with maple syrup.

 

O this one naman it includes BAKING!! Here’s a French Toast recipe from At Home With Mrs C.

Ingredients

  • 5 cups torn up bread
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 5 eggs
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 tbsp vanilla
  • For The Topping
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  • In a bowl, make a custard by whisking together the milk, eggs, sugars and vanilla.
  • Pour custard over the bread, making sure that each piece is moistened. Refrigerate and allow to soak. You can actually prepare ahead up to this point and let the casserole soak overnight.
  • Prepare The Topping
    • Combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a bowl.
    • Mash cold butter into the dry ingredients using a fork to form pebbles.
    • Sprinkle the topping over the soaked bread.

    • 30-35 minutes if you want a soft and squishy consistency, 40-45 minutes if you want your French toast to be more firm.
