Pretty Practical Mom

  We all miss the things we used to do before this ECQ Enhanced Community Quarantine. Work, Friends, Eating out and of course COFFEE and However we like to go out and visit a nearby coffee shop.,We can't.. because most establishments are closed and It may be a bitter pill to swallow but Coffee Shops are not essential so they are not allowed to operate. So if you need some coffee fix but can't go outside. Why not try this TRENDING easy to make coffee  " Vietnamese Coffee "or what the locals call  cà phê trứng. It's so easy! It taste like egg pudding. However we e are not going to use Vietnamese Coffee Filter that usually requires slow filtration. You can use any black coffee you have available at home. Brewed coffee or instant coffee are both fine. What you will need?  Two egg yolks Two Tsp condensed Milk 1 Tsp white sugar Ice cubes Brewed Coffee Procedure: Mix or whisk egg yolks, condensed milk and sugar until frothy Put ice in a glass  Pour your black coffee Ad...

Good day mga marse! so my firstborn Sophia just turned seven last January 5, How time flies talaga...I can still remember when she was just a baby cooing and babbling excitedly when we would talk to her. Now a lot has changed. She's now growing to be a fine lady..(char!!) lakas maka 18 ng fine lady noh?? haha. Funny thing was that she really thought na super nagchange na ang aura nya, one time she approached me and said "ma, I think my face is different now, I just looked in the mirror and I noticed some changes ma...parang nagiba to (pointing te sides of her nose and chin )" haha talaga ba? Anyway we weren't really planning to give her any party, The first plan was to just eat out and buy her a toy as a gift. I just can't understand why super big deal sa pinas ng seventh birthday noh...sabe ko nga sa sarili ko hindi ako magpapaapekto sa mga 7th birthday na yan...haha Ang mahal mahal, masyadong magastos ang magpaparty ngayon mga mamshies... pero 4 days before ...

         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 ...
