Halabos na Hipon

I have been running gaga all around the house – nursing Caleb, taking care of Colby, doing the laundry, making sure the house is neatly cleaned as friends do visit and check the baby,  planning and cooking meals, buying all needful things, and many more. It is not easy spending all day being at home which I believe is the hardest job a woman would ever have. Despite of the sleepless nights putting Caleb to...

Fried Fish Fillet

Weekend was full-packed activity. I attended my officemate’s wedding. We were also at my niece’s 7th birthday. And we had a small gathering in our place with our friends.

Turbo Broiled Bangus

I am having mild aversions to some foods because of my pregnancy. I somehow dislike the smell and even the taste of pork, chicken and beef. I rather eat fish, squid, shrimp and anything in the sea, I guess. I constantly feel tired and wanting to lie on the bed all day, all night. Well, I hope I will be done with my first trimester so I can go back to my normal taste buds and I am wanting the usual Nez who is ready...

And because of the high price of pork, beef and other meats, most households prepare and cook fish for their families.
