PhilCare Wellness Activity at STI Global

Tweet

 

In celebration of the World Diabetes Day,  PhilCare recently held a delightful cooking event entitled "Treat Me Right: Healthy Treats as Healthy Gifts". The activity is a free baking demo with Chef Ingrid V. Mediarito which aim to teach PhilCare members learn how to make delightful but healthy pastries. The event took place at the STI Global City (near Market! Market!) last November 17 from 10AM to 12 NN.

Impressively the event started exactly at 10 and I’m 10 minutes late (blame my heels,lol!). But good thing the cooking part happened after Chef  Ingrid gave the instructions on the recipes, the equipment and the preparation. All the participants were given a brown envelope; inside are the recipes to choose from. The four recipes are: Festival fruitcake cookies, Guilt-free chewy brownies,Homemade Granola Treats and Prune Buttercream Delight Bars. Our group go for the brownies and granola treats.

Ingredients were prepared for each group depending on their recipe

Be mine Starbucks 2012 Planner

Tweet

I’ve been reading blog posts about the 2012 Starbucks Planner and I fell in love with the design concept that comes from different wood finishes; Bamboo, Cherry, Spruce,  Poplar and Oak, so Filipino. And, since I’m quite a fan of diaries and planner, I decided that my goal before year-end is to own an SB planner. 

4 stickers down, 19 to go. Waaaaah… Anyone, help me, please? Lol! 

Above is my favorite, dark mocha frappe priced at 175 pesos . I can’t help it. I just love it when sweet and bitter taste mixed in my mouth. 

Molten Choco Cake, priced at 120 pesos, tasted like sweetened donut with super sweet filling inside and icing on top. Delightful is the exact word. I feel like a child after I ate this. haha!

Starbucks Branches are quite A LOT, so just check HERE. And like them on FB.

It’s Raining Sisig at SM Hypermarket Pampanga Supersized Cook-off

Sisig, pronounced as [see-sig], is a traditional Filipino food which is considered to be one of Pinoy’s specialty because the preparation requires time, effort and of course dugo’t pawis (blood and sweat) Lol! How to make it more appetizing? That is what I’m currently discovering but people of Mabalacat Pampanga impressed me last October 28, 2010 when they participated in the Super-sized Cook Off for the Best Tasting & Largest Serving “SISIG”.
