Mothers Who Brunch

Gather at Home for the Holidays with Uashmama

I know that I have shared on more than one occasion that I have Italian roots which run deep.

This is why it was very easy for Sabrina and I to get a little creative when we decided to partner with UASHMAMA.

UASHMAMA is a brand that started on the tables of local restaurants in Tuscany. Because the patriarch of the Marconi family was truly an artist, he began playing with paper one day in the same way he would cure leather. What came out of his experiment was a product that is food safe, fashionable, and can be adapted for both home, table, and even the garden.

UASHMAMA uses washable paper and is made with cultivated fiver that does not contribute to deforestation. It’s a paper product that washes like fabric yet holds form so it can be used over and over again promoting sustainability which is perfect for catering and housewares.

Admittedly, I had first been made aware of this product when our friends from Baby Barangay had shared a few Instagram posts about some of the cute bags and accessories in their style posts.

So when, Patty of www.mrspcuyugan.com messaged me and Sab saying that her friend Fiddy, was thinking of highlighting the use of this versatile product for the holidays, through a Mothers Who Brunch event, we were both up for the challenge.

Italian Brunch Food.

Italian Pretty and Functional Products.

And fun with the mommas.

That’s a recipe for time well spent with the ladies. 

Don’t you agree?

If Sabrina and I always have our first choice in partners with an event that includes styling, we would always love to work with Boqueria Lifestyle Market. We have worked with Lady and Steph quite a number of times, and together, I think we make a pretty good team. Their magic hands and props encourage our Momma friends to get creative in ways that Sabrina and I totally appreciate.

We like to get creative in the kitchen, and we like them to get creative with the styling. And how easy is it to get creative when you are starting with these beautiful washable paper bags from Uashmama.

Aren’t they pretty?

So, what was the assignment after we introduced the product to our guests?

Take the product and style four parts of our “would be” home in The Viking Range Showroom. We grouped our friends into four different parts of the house that are perfect for using Uashmama in for different types of organizing and serving.

First we have the KITCHEN CREW:

From left to right: Joy, Cat, Nikki, Mia, and Pam 

These ladies used our washable paper bags to highlight the use that they are food safe and perfect for serving and keeping fruits and vegetables on the counter. 

Then we have the READING NOOK CREW:

From Left to Right: Char, Pam, Sheila, Lucien, and Marikit

I loved how this team was able to use plants and greenery to highlight the fact that Uashmama Washable Paper Bags can serve as planters too.

We also had a COFFEE TABLE CREW:

From Left to Right: Michelle, Marge, and Patty

Because our coffee tables often have a mix of different things nestled atop and sometime strewn across it, this group highlighted these same uses as well.

And lastly we had the COMFORT ROOM CREW:

From Left to Right: Helene, Leona, Jackie, and Niña

The Comfort Room Crew did the best job of highlighting all the different ways you can use Uashmama in the home. From storing make up on the bathroom counter, to containing all the hand towels we would need, close to the sink, using larger paper bags for plants, and one even for dry trash, these ladies figured out every possible way to incorporate these convenient and stylish little bags into one of the most used rooms in the house.

We are loving this @uashmama_ph challenge! My team mates @gojackiego @atelier818jewelry @mrsmommyholic and I were tasked to style a bathroom using @uashmama_ph super sturdy and chic bags. Swipe through to see the different ways we organized our ideal bathroom. Edit: Our team won! Woot! #mwbxuashmama #gatherathomefottheholidays #motherswhobrunch #uashmamaph #washablepaper @motherswhobrunch

Of course when it comes to our events, we need to make sure everyone goes home with a happy tummy. 

Sabrina and I have partaken of a Yogi Brunch buffet once before. Joy from YB seemed like the perfect partner to cater the rest of the Italian Brunch that we wanted to serve our friends from the media.

We shared our demo menu with her and she was able to come up with something that complimented what we were preparing for our guests.

This easy to make quiche boasts all the things that an Italian themed lunch should have. Organic cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil from Earth Origins in Westgate. The only thing we changed up was the shape. Doesn’t it look super cute as a loaf? And it fit so perfectly into the Uashmama Loaf Paper Basket!

One thing we knew we wanted to share with everyone was just how easy it is to make spiralized veggies. We can throw these veggies in our salad, or as in the case of my kids who super love zoodles (zucchini noodles), saute them quickly in a little olive oil and garlic, and then toss in homemade pesto.

Want to make spiralized veggies for your salad? It’s really not hard at all to do when you have the proper tools in your kitchen. This is also why Sabrina and I love using the different counter top appliances that Severin offers, here in the Philippines.

Whenever Sab and I host events like this, I love it when my family comes to support us.

Like Nino.

He didn’t always used to be around, but now, I can see that he takes an extra special interest in making sure that our plans go off without a hitch.

Here’s a truth in our home:

Nino takes care of the meat. 

Steak. 

Roast Beef.

Prime Rib.

Sous Vide Steak.

Check out this video about how we use our Severin Sous Vide Countertop appliance at home.

Doesn’t that look amazing? Nino makes it actually look pretty easy. So this is why Sabrina and I asked him if he wouldn’t mind demonstrating just how easy it is to use this appliance to create the perfectly cooked steak at home.

And of course, because Nino was behind the wheel on this one. The New York Delmonico came out perfectly.

Thanks Babe!

Thanks Babe for helping us out on that one 🙂

Whenever we have our momma friends all together, and we have the opportunity to share some new information with them, or we get to share some new tricks in the kitchen, we also love surprising them with some treats.

Check out all these happy faces from the different raffle prizes that everyone went home with. And I’m not quite sure, but I do think that EVERY single guest went home with something, which I think is amazing, and we only have our very generous sponsors to thank for that.

Creating food together is one of our love language Creating food together is one of our love languages. We flow in the kitchen. I get excited and move too fast, and she grounds me, and slows things down. We can move around one another while still staying in sync. In our own kitchen, there is music that guides us and sets the tone for the meal. Gelli would be in the mix, the boys will set the table, someone makes dessert, and maybe @manila.gent  makes a drink. 

When we prepare our table together there is so much that goes into the process and the ingredients. This mindful movement brings me so much joy when we are all together.

Even more so when we attend classes together to learn new dishes too.  @themayakitchen1 has regular classes offering cooks of all abilities to learn something new when preparing meals for for our families.

Check out my new article on @rappler for @kitchen143 where Gia and I learned from Chef @cocoyventura a few new Pinoy dishes that will definitely be on rotation for #TeamGellibean.

Crispy Pata. Is there anything better than perfec Crispy Pata.

Is there anything better than perfectly brined crispy fried pork? 

@manila.gent and I visited @viicsrestaurantph for simple Pinoy fare that hit the spot. Admittedly, after moving here so many years ago, I took a while to warm up to this dish that is one of Nino’s (and my mom’s) favorites. But every once in a while-I won’t feel guilty about indulging in this deep fried treat.

Happy to learn that we can also order for when Mom arrives through @foodpanda_ph too!

Thinking about the day I got off the plane in LaGu Thinking about the day I got off the plane in LaGuardia, was picked up by one of my dearest friends and spent the entire day at the beach just catching up on LIFE.

It was a breezy day. Overcast. A little chilly to be in a suit, but it was perfect to catch up with my girl Candy. Sometimes, if you have chosen your friends well, you can pick up where you left off, as if no time has passed at all. 

Just like I did, sitting in that beach chair, feeling the mist of the Atlantic Ocean, and watching the seagulls pick and the seaweed.

Thank you Candy! For the friendship, for dropping everything to come and pick me up. Drive me around and have dinner with me and Fayth. 

Wishing I was sitting on this beach with you right now!!!

Missing my @migaventajado The short time I had w Missing my @migaventajado 

The short time I had with this guy in Florida was definitely something I will look back on. Wish we had more time to explore and do some fun things on our own.

Gah. How is this kid 20 years old already?
I remember when he was little and he loved peanut butter, chicken nuggets, Kylie Minogue, and sitting on my lap. He was squishy, in tune with my feelings, and I was always worried that he might have an asthma attack in his sleep so I would nebulize him every few hours. He always looked at new experiences with gratitude and wonder, much how he did while we were in FL together.😍

Praying he continues to strengthen his faith as he grows. 🙏🏻👨🏻🙌🏻

Miss you Miggy!
