Papa John's Carbonara Pizza

I LOVE PIZZA.

For me its a the complete food!  It has carbs, protein and veggies - and all in 1 bite!  Hahaha..  But seriously, I love pizzas.  Ask my Panget and he will tell you, pizzas are one of my favorite food (the all time favorite is french fries).

I first heard of Papa John's a long time ago while watching an American news segment on cable.  It was showcasing how Papa John's has grown and how it has been giving its competitor Pizza Hut a run for its money in the Pizza industry.  I remember seeing the real Papa John showing the viewers on how he personally makes his pizza.  He then elaborated on this tagline - Better Ingredients, Better Pizza.

I have been a fan of Papa John's since it arrived in our shores.  We have been ordering from their Tomas Morato branch for pick up ever since they opened, why pick up?  Simply because its faster!  And that means, I can have my pizza is a shorter amount of time!

I am happy to share that Papa John's has a new pizza flavor - the Carbonara Pizza!  And this is what it looks like:



We were then shown how a Papa John's Pizza is made.  The chosen pizza was the Hawaiian, which simply means the topping consists of only ham and pineapple.  Whats so special about the Papa John's Hawaiian pizza is that they use Canadian bacon strips instead of the traditional ham!

Here's the step by step guide:

Spread about 5oz of tomato sauce on the pizza dough.
Make sure to leave 2inches of space on the edge of the pizza dough.
The reason behind this is simply - to make it look neat! 

 Now, you can spread out the pineapple chunks.
Make sure to spread from out going in.
They taught us something special - a No Topping Zone right smack in the middle.
The reason for the No Topping Zone?  So that when you slice the pizza, the toppings won't fall 
at the smallest tip of the pizza slice!


The you add the Canadian bacon!
Remember - no topping zone!!


And now, grated Mozzarella cheese is added.
This time, pour the cheese to cover the topping.
At this point, make sure to cover the pizza and just leave an inch of space from the edge.


And this is the finished product!
It tastes even better!  I think I found a new favorite!  A simple yet very flavorful pizza!


Papa John has a number of promos running to their patrons.  My favorite it the Classic Tuesdays!  On Tuesdays, Classic pizzas are prices at P199.00 - and that's for the 12" pizzas already!!  They also have the 50% off Thursdays offer - where if you wear a Papa John's shirt while dining in - your bill automatically gets 50% off its tab!



For more promo news - you may visit their official website and their Facebook page - Papa John's Philippines!

Have a wonderful time enjoying their pizzas!!

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
