Auntie Arnie’s

I’m sure you have seen a few new things in my feed if you follow me on social media. We recently made a big move. I have been very busy fixing things for the kids and for Nino. Sabrina and I have also been very busy with Auntie Arnie’s

If you are a regular visitor here on the blog, you know that most of the time our family likes to get in the kitchen and cook something up together. We prefer home made over store bought. And we like whole foods with all natural ingredients. That doesn’t mean that we don’t indulge in junk food ever. And it doesn’t mean that we don’t like eating out or bringing take out meals home. We do all of these things in moderation. Especially, when I am tired and cannot cook something up from scratch.

The thing is, I have always prided myself in the fact that they I can make things we have tried in restaurants or dishes and recipes that have been passed down. I like that I can make some of the dishes that my grandma used to make, but you know as well as I do, that dishes like these take time. 

Auntie Arnie’s saves me time.

Thankfully, mommas like me, now have a choice. We don’t have to opt for fast food when we are tired or sick or cannot be present to cook for the teenagers. In fact, Auntie Arnie’s dishes are so easy that your kiddos can heat them up by themselves.

Home cooked goodness in a flash.

In our house, home cooking means no preservatives. No artificial flavors, colors, or flavor enhancers. It means whole foods. Prepared lovingly. And served up family style. 

Auntie Arnie’s is geared for families like ours.

That means that the servings are large. It means that it is flavor packed. And it means that it is easy to use. It also means that heating these ready to eat dishes that are flash frozen to preserve flavors and freshness can provide all we need for the table, and still leave time for homework. Or cleaning up quickly. Or even still spending quality time together.

Check out all the dishes that AA has to offer:

Orange Peel Chicken 

This dish is easy and versatile. With a price tag of only Php195, it is one of the more affordable dishes in the first set of frozen packs. You can use the orange peel sauce, OR NOT. You can bake or fry the chicken thigh pieces which are gluten free, but my favorite way to prepare them is in the Philips Airfryer.

Chicken and Pork Adobo

Move over adobo that takes time. With whole heads of garlic that you can squeeze out and mix in your rice, this tangy version of home cooked adobo is well balanced. You can even shred the meat and deep fry what is leftover. That is the actual serving size guys! That’s good for 3 people! 

Chicken BBQ

These huge imported chicken thighs are good for two. With grill marks and a smoky flavor, our friends who live in condos say it satisifies their BBQ craving in a minute!

Callos

Admittedly, I am not a fan of callos. To be honest, I usually just dip my bread in the sauce and eat the chorizo and the olives. But all my callos loving friends say it’s the bomb. Many of them say it’s served best with the Paella Negra.

Chicken Curry

This Asian Chicken Curry is not the typical curry that we Pinoys are used to. With Kaffir Lime leaves there is a bit of a Thai influence that is creamy and fragrant.

Meaty Laing

Meaty stuffed Laing leaves with cold pressed coconut cream is a meal in and of itself. Just take on stuffed roll and add it on your bowl of rice! Dinner is done!

Paella Negra

This is Gia’s favorite of all the frozen packs. She asks me to make sure that we have at least 2 on hand at a time. One package is good for four people! This is not a dish I would every attempt to make at home, so I am super thankful that AA does it for me.

Yang Chow Fried Rice

I don’t know if you have ever done this, but I have often given my kids a bowl of fried rice with all the leftover meats and veggies from the fridge as a meal. Little bits of chinese sausage gives this dish a little bit of sweet meaty goodness.

50 Cloves Garlic Chicken

This is another favorite of mine. Half of a roasted chicken kicked up a notch with olives, whole roasted garlic, and evoo. Fresh Thyme differentiates this dish from the others you have seen. And it’s ready in 7 minutes.

We all have our own favorites and of course, and there are best sellers that I know everyone enjoys as well. But what I love about this whole line is the fact that I can put a balanced meal on the table without much thought. The most I might have to do, is throw together a salad. And would you believe that chopping the ingredients for the salad takes a longer time than it does to get 50 Cloves Roasted Chicken on the table?

#FORTHEWIN

Seriously, this busy momma is doing a happy dance weekly. There are days that I just don’t have it in me to cook a full meal. Or to even cook half a meal. And on those crazy busy days I know that I am #SavedByAuntieA.

Hooray for that.

Auntie Arnie’s

Check out the video from the day that Mothers Who Brunch launched Auntie Arnie’s Heirloom Recipes Made Easy in Maria Maria, in San Juan. 

Sabrina and I had a blast introducing our new favorite products to our friends who are busy mommas that need and appreciate quality meals made easy. 

I’m sure you would appreciate them too!

I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Th I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Through this learning exercise with @usapeecphl, I have learned a bit more about these little birds that have bigger breast parts, and thank you Chef @ivoryyat for showing me how easy it is to prepare Greek Lemon Roasted Cornish Hens with Roasted Potatoes.
 
Clean and fresh flavors are perfect for these smaller birds that are rich in protein with zero carbs. Try the recipe in the comments section. I’m sure you’d enjoy it as much as I did!
 
Interested in U.S. Cornish Hens? You can buy them in stores near you. #CornishHen #USCornishHen #PoultryPerfection #CookingWithUSPoultry #USPoultry #USAPEECPHL #ad
@gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @pura @gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @puratosph products that they sent over the other day. Ready to use Bavarian Cream made these Cream Puffs easier than ever. I think we have to figure out how to temper our couverture better…

@mommymundo always has a way of bringing together @mommymundo always has a way of bringing together just what we need, no matter the time of year. Loving these photos of my first boy that were snapped @expomom.

Anyone else thinking about #HolidayPhotos? I am not one of those moms that has it all together before Christmas. It’s usually a mad dash for us at the end of the year, but if it’s anything that the past few years has taught me, it’s that the little things are what makes the Christmas special.

Many of us haven’t been together with the extended family or even our immediate family in so long. That means it’s the perfect time to document.

@nextbymetrophoto will be hosting one last Christmas Marathon family photo shoot before the end of year. Check them out or shoot them a message. They have some cute set-ups.
****GIVEAWAY ALERT*** 10 things I LOVE about @sed ****GIVEAWAY ALERT***

10 things I LOVE about @sedahotels listed here and on FB!

1. Each property has a Signature Dish. If you can’t make it to Bacolod, you can still enjoy Chicken Inasal in any of their properties.

2. Clean Design. So easy to work and play in a space that is light, modern, and clean in design. 

3. Beautiful views. Every chance I got, I would sit outside at @straightupatseda. 

4. Spacious Rooms and Residence Stays. Staying in the Three Bedroom Premier was perfect for our family. 

5. Attentive Service. Everyone was pleasant and accommodating.

6. Centrally Located. If you are thinking of fun things to do in Makati and want a home base, Seda Residences Makati is near a few of the museums, parks, and malls.

7. Work with ease. Internet service is uninterrupted. Meeting rooms are available and easy to book.

8. Relax and Play. From mid-day tubbies with Gelli to, taking advantage of the pool, or the children’s room, the little girl had more than enough things to keep her busy!

9. #FamilyTime. Spending an extended amount of time outside our own space led to laughter, fun conversations, and opportunities to try new things. We were comfortable and rested in the space we were in, which meant more opportunities for us to connect.

10. Homegrown with a Purpose. A Filipino brand that understands the importance of both work and travel, each property is important to the city & province location. Environmentally aware by adopting Mayumi, a Philippine Bald Eagle. 🦅

Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at this time of year? Whole turkeys require serious commitment to cook. #IYKYK But because U.S. Poultry is now available here in the Philippines, that also means preparing turkey is a tad bit easier.
 
Frozen U.S. turkey products are available and ready to cook for people who want to dabble with flavors for this bigger bird but aren't sure how.
 
Thank you to Chef @ivoryyat for putting together a medley of my favorite fall flavors. This combination of apples, sweet potatoes, and maple syrup perfectly compliment  the roasted turkey leg and remind me of flavors and scenes from back in New York. 
 
@usapeecphl l has the highest standards that follow USDA requirements which are certified safe before shipping to the Philippines. Get them in stores near you.
