I look forward to weekends and holidays because these are the special times when I cook all sorts of special dishes for #TheDreys. They would normally request a dish for me to cook and I would gladly oblige. For this recent long weekend, I roasted a whole chicken and partnered it with a creamy potato […]

Dreyfus Cuisine: Ginataang Mais (using Jolly Whole Corn Kernels)
My grandmother or “mama”, was a superb cook. Cooking was actually her way of bonding our family. When she is not busy overseeing her dance troupe business, you would normally find her in the kitchen, whipping up delicious dishes whether for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Whenever we would come home from school, we were always […]
Dreyfus Cuisine: Cheesy Corn Kernels using Jolly Whole Corn Kernels
Since school is back for my youngest, I wanted to come up with a no-frills snack that she can enjoy whenever she comes home. Something that’s easy and fast to prepare, but healthy and filling as well. While I was at the mall a few weeks ago, I saw a classic snack that I used […]

Being the adventurous family that #TheDreys (that’s us!) are, we are always up for any challenge given to us. Well… most challenges. Hahaha! Just recently, Gold Seas Tuna Chunks asked our family to take on a fun mystery challenge which we gladly accepted. The challenge: Is it possible to create healthy gourmet dishes anywhere you […]
US Potatoes and it’s wonderful health benefits
Ever since I was diagnosed to have high cholesterol and high blood pressure last November 2016, I looked for effective ways on how to keep these levels low. Of course, as instructed by my doctor, I should avoid eating fatty food and that really made me sad. You see, I grew up in a family […]

In our home, Christmas decorating usually begins on the first week of […]
Try my very own Filippo Berio Tuna Pesto Pizza Bread
When you have two active and growing teens, it’s important that you also prepare healthy and delicious meals to fuel them for the day. Whenever I run out of food ideas, I simply check what items are available in my pantry and sometimes I use leftover food to create another dish (one must not let […]
Knorr Lutong Nanay: Sweet Style Spaghetti brings childhood memories
Who among my readers here love Sweet Style Spaghetti (raise hand)? I, for one, have loved this version which, correct me if I’m wrong, I think Filipinos created. I clearly remember when I was a child that sweet spaghetti would always been a staple in every kid’s birthday celebration. It is perhaps because of this […]
Knorr Lutong Nanay: Chicken Sopas for the win!
When I was growing up, I would always hear my mom and grandmother ask everyone in the house what dishes they would want to eat for the whole week. This was the scenario that played out in our home every week. Sometimes I would see how stressed out my grandmother would get every time they […]
Dreyfus Cuisine: Fabada con Filippo Berio
Back in the day when I didn’t know my husband yet, the only bean dish that I knew how to eat was plain ol’ canned Pork & Beans. Although I have tasted other dishes that use beans as the main ingredient, I was never really a fan. That was until my husband introduced me to […]
