At 5 months and 6 days old, Gwen’s pediatrician gave the go signal to start on solid food. Her pedia advised to start on cereals first and recommended Cerelac. For two weeks, cereals were to be given once a day, preferably between 9 am to 12 noon. I feel like a stage mom, I’m so excited! And guess what, she likes it very much, she’s very eager to open her mouth once she sees the spoon. The few tablespoons we prepared were gone in minutes. Good job baby!

I just turned 29 last November 1 and while most people in Mall of Asia went trick-or-treating, we celebrated my birthday in advance in sheer simplicity. I don’t want an extravagant celebration, just a simple dinner with the ones I most loved. And since it’s my birthday, we decided to try a new restaurant, Sakae Sushi (read more about the food on my other blog). As much as I wanted to feast on sashimi, I have to be contented with the cooked ones, no raw varieties.

My OB refused to give me vitamin C supplements and just encouraged me to get it from natural sources like fruits, calamansi juice, etc… I get really tired munching on fruits especially apples so I’m worried that I might not get enough vitamin C. I’m glad that the nearest Robinson’s supermarket now offers freshly squeezed orange juice from Del Monte. I first saw this at SM Southmall supermarket, they have this industrial juicer that can produce fresh OJ in minutes.

It’s a long weekend and it’s a relaxed Sunday afternoon at our home. Instead of popping pimples, I decided to spend my afternoon whipping up a new recipe. I watched Sharon at Home at the Lifestyle Network and they cooked Beef Salpicao. So I decided to try this one since there’s a few slices of sirloin in the freezer. I marinated the thin slices of beef in oyster sauce, soy sauce, garlic, pepper and Magic Sarap (my BFF in the kitchen).
beef salpicao or beef tapa?

What happens when Misis B is left on the UP parking lot while waiting for her husband Jeff finish his 5 km. or more run inside UP campus? EAT! Well, this is the first time that I really can’t control my hunger, I always wait for Jeff to finish his rounds and we’ll go to Trinoma, SM North or somewhere to eat. I can finish praying the rosary while waiting for him, but this time it’s different. Hunger won over religious duties but I did pray the rosary after a clean plate of Yakisoba, hotdog sandwich and apple juice.
UP food trip
Cheap but very filling merienda, Php 15 for Yakisoba, Php 25 for hotdog sandwich and Php 10 for the apple juice. I won’t do this often though, instant noodles is bad.
I finally had it, food cravings! It may seem a little late but since Saturday, I just want french fries! I’m at home last Saturday and I craved for french fries, I searched at stores in our neighborhood if they have fries, unfortunately, they only cook them during weekdays. So off we go to the supermarket to buy a bag of Frenchies to cook at home, yes I want them crispy with my own dip. I don’t want Jollibee or McD’s fries.
french fries!
Naglilihi,
Misis B
