Here's a beauty tip: lentils and all those legumes don't cause bloating if eaten by their lonesome so it's good to incorporate these in your diet.They are also packed with protein, fiber, anti-oxidants, calcium, and iron. Just make sure you don't suffer from gout or similar. Having heard of the benefits of these "superfoods," this is the reason why I went out of my way to attend a cooking demo attractively titled "Peas Be Unto You, and Lentils too!" at the Genting Star Tourism Academy in the Resorts World Manila Complex one Saturday before Christmas. The invite was ... Continue Reading...

Now that it's Christmas, my 3 1/2 year old toddler seems to find a reason to ask for toys everyday. She doesn't yet know what a big deal Xmas is but toys are everywhere every time we go to the mall.

Harina Artisan Bakery Cafe, White Plains
That Saturday had me driving from Parañaque to Quezon City but thankfully there was no traffic on EDSA. The lengths I travel to eat in a new place! Harina Artisan Bakery Cafe used to be Monsee's but I never even got to try Monsee's. Since my whole family loves bread, I like the whole Harina idea of baking bread in a traditional way, lovingly handrolled and using no chemical additives. Anyway, good that I was famished when I arrived at the place. This pretty Breakfast Tart (P290) immediately enticed me at the table- .... it's a rectangular slab of puff ... Continue Reading...
