Blonde Coffee, anyone?

Starbucks has launched their BLONDE coffee!


During the launch were were schooled by a coffee master on the different roasts Blonde, Medium, and Dark Roasts!  Plus - we samples their new food items!  There's one exciting thing that I learned - they're bringing back the FRENCH TOAST!  Oh my gosh - when I learned of this, I was ECSTATIC!!

The Blonde Roast is very different from what I imagined.  Haha!!  I thought it was going to be lighter, and it was - but what struck me was that it tasted a little - tangy and - sour!  I mean, it tasted a bit odd at first, but when you add some whip cream and syrup to it - its actually, not that bad!  Its a different offering for coffee lovers - a definite new thing to try in Starbucks.  I'm sure there will be a LOT of new fans!



I'm very excited for the new food items they have new sandwiches AND salads!  Here are a few of my favorites!

Italiano Combo on Focaccia Bread

So much meat in one sandwich!  Smoked Turkey, Roast Beef, Smoked Ham, Turkey Lyoner and so much more meat!  (I just have to repeat it!)  Its really really GOOD!  Definitely my FAVORITE!


Chicken Cordon Bleu Wrap

Its an actual Chicken Cordon Blue - in a wrap!  Cool right?  Not so messy and very easy to handle and eat!!


Moroccan Chicken Couscous Salad

I love couscous and I love Moroccan spices!  And so this is such a perfect salad for me!  It sooooo yummy!  I wanted seconds but was too shy to ask!!

Thank you Starbucks!!

Breastfeeding Mama!

"Welcome to the Milk Mama Diaries Carnival (July). For this month, we join the National Nutrition Council - Department of Health in celebrating Nutrition Month with the theme "Isulong ang Breastfeeding - Tama, Sapat at EKsklusibo!" Participants will share their experiences in promoting breastfeeding or their tips on how breastfeeding should be promoted. Please scroll down to the end of this post and check out the other carnival participants." When I got pregnant, I knew instantly that I would be breastfeeding my baby.  My mom found it odd that I decided to breastfeed - this was because I grew up formula fed.  My twin brother and I were given formula since birth, there was no attempt whatsoever to breastfeed.  In fact my mom recounted that she was given medicine to stop the milk production.  My pedia, Dr. Joy Ty-Sy said that during my mom's time (when she had us) it was the boom of formulas, that it was the trend that time.  I grew up with formula, my c

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a full functioning

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't think I can w
