Pretty Practical Mom

         I was thinking of what snack to prepare for the kid's meryenda. My work would usually finish at around 2 in the afternoon, At that time yung focus ko nasa kung ano ang dapat kung iprepare, ibake or iluto para sa meryenda ng kids. They would often wake up from their afternoon nap at 3:30-4 pm so It's a perfect timing for me to prepare some snacks for them....      ... while browsing for some recipes I came by to a post sa isang FB group where in they were talking about buko pie. I suddenly felt my mouth water upon seeing the photo of buko pie. (PG much! haha) I had a feeling that my two daughters would love to eat Buko Pie, It will be something new to them since I always bake apple pie for them.   I have very simple Ingredients for a flaky, buttery pie crust. It's also very easy to make and I'm pretty sure you guys will love it. PIE CRUST 1 cup All purpose flour 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 stick cold butter 1/2 cup cold...

One of my favorite snacks is Shawarma. Whenever I have a craving for it I would really go to SM center which is the nearest place where we can buy Shawarma. There's only one Shawarma food stall there though that's the Leylam Shawarma. I like their Shawarma, It's OK, tasty . I like it when it's dripping with sauce however it's quite inconvenient that whenever I crave for it I have to go somewhere just to have a taste of it. Hassle!  So I thought of making Shawarma at home but I don't know how to make the seasoning so I look for some online stores where I can buy it. I found LiYe on facebook, She's selling seasonings and other spices. I read a lot of good reviews regarding her Shawarma spice so I immediately ordered from her and got them the next day. I ordered the shawarma spice and pita bread. I was so happy when I received the package. I was so excited to make it , It's something my family can have whenever we crave for it .  Marinade I...

On her 6th birthday, We decided to have two celebrations, One at home for our close friends and relatives and the other one was held in their kindergarten school. This time Sophia wanted to have a "My little Pony" birthday party . I am a very thrifty person, I know how important it is to celebrate birthdays and I do love celebrating my daughter's birthday but not to the point that I will spend too much on it. I mean you can spend a little but don't go overboard. Before I ask her what she would like for her birthday party I already set a budget for it and decided to stick to it come hell or high water haha! I have nothing against mom who likes spending on their children's party. for me If you have the money then go! spend and splurge! walang naawat sa inyo haha! pero if wala naman talaga at hindi pasok sa budget e wag na po ipilit at ipangutang pa para lang sa ikaliligaya ng mga bisita at ikasasakit ng ulo nyo the next day... Andun na tayo sa "for keeping ...

Hello there mga marse, After a year and some months of hiatus, I am back again. So many things had happened good thing mostly happy moments naman. something to treasure and of course there were some learnings din that made me and my husband stronger and more mature. Anyways , I am so excited to share a lot of walang halong kyeme at kaartehang posts mga marse. I'll be posting more easy to cook, hindi pakakabog at maka-masang recipe for all the mothers out there (including me, ofcourse ) na nasa state of calamity ang wallet. Everyday lutuin, bukod sa pasasarapin e patitipirin pa natin! Today is just like any other usual day at home since I am working fulltime from home now. Everyday is special because I'm always with my family so I always make it a point to spend most of my free time with them, We don't usually go out na except Church day, I always cook at home, Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks in between. Nowadays dama nyo din ba na nasa bubong nyo lang ang haring ...
