We're halfway through the year! Time flies extremely fast, noh?

Cheese & Sausage Party with the NKids!
At the start of the year, I promised myself to cook more. I began with the dishes that I'm most comfortable with -- eggs, pasta, salads and sandwiches. Later on, I became more experimental by making my own pizza, creating real meals that contains meat, seafood or veggies and on certain occasions, I even tried to make some simple desserts too. To date, I can proudly say that my cooking know-how has improved greatly as I was able to gain more confidence in trying new dishes and the ones that I miss from home.

One thing that I love about cooking and planning our meals is being able to try different ingredients such as sauces, spices and dips. These play a big role in helping us achieve a certain taste profile for whatever we're cooking. Let me share with you this brand that I've regularly been using throughout the months that I've been experimenting in the kitchen -- meet Whisk!



It's not a new brand as it has been around since my Yummy Eats days but what used to be a home-created one with just a handful of signature dips and dressings, they now have a full range of salad dressings, dips, sauces and even some that's customized for a certain diet restriction like Paleo. I've always been a fan of Whisk since I first discovered this back in Manila and I would really make sure to bring back bottles and jars with me every time I get the chance to.

Okay, show and tell time! :) Here are some of my kitchen creations with my Whisk favorites:

Fluffy Butter Pancakes with Whisk Strawberry and Basil Jam 

whisk 3
Mixed Greens with Chicken Cake, Kani Sticks and Egg together with my all time favorite salad dressing -- Whisk Soy Ginger Dressing 

whisk 5
Pork Steak with Roasted Garlic in Red Wine Reduction paired with Whisk Roasted Garlic Jam

Even the NKids are starting to love Whisk too as I've spotted a couple of bottles in the fridge which my friend I has bought when she was in Manila too. Look, we even used it during our recent cheese and sausage dinner at home!

Lastly, I love how versatile the product is. Take the Soy Ginger Dressing for instance. I've lost count the number of ways I've used it for. Aside from drizzling it onto my salad, I've created several dips out of it for our nachos or cheese party, I've added it into several veggie and seafood dishes too. I'm so happy to have discovered Whisk and my only wish is that they will grow and be ready to export their products to Singapore. That would definitely save me the plane ride when I need to buy more dressings. :)

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic

Misto at Seda Vertis North

Happy Friday!  I'm not going to lie, Friday is one of my favorite days because it means, we're just a day away from the weekend! Who doesn't love the weekend, right? This is the day when I give my twins my uninterrupted attention. We would start the day with any breakfast of their choice (normally waffles for J, pancakes or peanut butter sandwich for L) followed by an hour of doing their homework and in the afternoon, we head out for their swim class! Sunday is more laid back as we would stay home and just laze around the house otherwise, we would go and visit my in laws and spend the day there.  Speaking of the weekend, I suddenly remembered one of the best weekends that we've had this year so far. This was when we had our staycation at Seda Vertis North  and the twins truly enjoyed every minute of it. Of course, they love our comfy and very spacious Corner Suite with an adjacent Deluxe Room as well as checking out the hotel's amenities and the Vertis North mall
