Dreyfus Cuisine: Keta Salmon Chunks Rice Topping
Whenever I see salmon in the grocery or market, it would always remind me of my daughter Isabella. That’s because of 2 things: She loves salmon. And she always says that she would rather eat seafood over any other kind of meat anytime. So, I have been stocking up on SeaKing products for quite some […]
Dreyfus Cuisine: Homemade Taco + Taco Shells using Jolly Claro Palm Oil
A few years back, I blogged about my Taco recipe and how I do my taco shells because I am not a fan of the usual store-bought corn shells. Actually, I don’t make my own shell from scratch, but rather, I buy Lumpia wrappers and deep fry them instead. It is a little bit more […]

Dreyfus Cuisine: Ginataang Mais (using Jolly Whole Corn Kernels)

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 […]

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 […]
