Good Food with Real Food

I probably visit four to five different shops, weekly, when buying my groceries for the family. When I’m planning the menu for the week, I am lucky enough now, to have figured out where I need to buy what ingredients I will need for each of my dishes. 

Searing some #tuna for my ❤. Hoping he will enjoy my take on a #pokebowl for lunch. Thank you @sinfullysabrina for my @lodgecastiron grill pan. Every time I use it I think of you! ????#healthyeats #healthyfood #healthycooking #healthylife #fit #salad #lodge #lodgecastiron

For bulk items I usually go to the same place so that I can save a few bucks when buying toilet paper for a family of six. 

For imported ingredients, I usually visit this one grocery store that has lots of little finds in different places. Sometimes if I’m lucky I’ll find something that will bring back childhood memories.

Most of the time, for my fruit, I go to my same suki week after week, even if it’s a little further away.

 

This Morning’s #SmoothieBowl for my ❤ had a little something extra. Adding #purple #yams to the mix makes it creamier AND gives him even more energy to tackle the day ahead. Included in this bowl of goodness are mangoes, strawberries, beets, almond butter, and organic purple yams with maca and malungay powder. I topped it with cacao nibs, coconut chips, chia, flax seed, apples, grapes, and more strawberries. Will definitely make this combination again!

And for any organic feels or super healthy ingredient that goes into my husband’s smoothie bowls or breakfast shakes, I visit Real Food in Molito. 

 
Real Food is the brain child of four friends who believe that we should “eat good to feel good.” Yes, we are what we eat, people!! 
 

Real Food, Real Ladies From L-R: Bea L’huillier, Nicole Fandiño, Honey Almendral, and Kat Manñosa

 
Sourcing more than 90% of everything they sell from local farms, cooperatives, and social enterprises, one can pick up everything from organic fruits and veggies, to free range chicken, and prepared food and snacks all made without preservatives, coloring, or refined sugar.
 

Bottled dips and spreads can all be found in the Real Food Grocery Store in the refrigerated section.

 
I have been visiting Real Food for the past year that they have been open, and I enjoy the different daily offerings of fresh vegetables and fruits (that are, in fact, delivered daily) -and the powdered superfood supplements that I add to Nino’s morning smoothie bowls.
 
 
I always find new items to play with and still have yet to experiment with the gooseberries I picked up during their anniversary celebration held earlier this week.
 
 
Having this grocery store, with all these options is actually a gift to those of us that live in the south. I have gone smoothie bowl shopping with some of my friends, and truly enjoy the courteous and helpful staff who are always willing to explain when I have questions or help with ideas when I’m unfamiliar with a new fruit or vegetable. 
 

“Keep your friends close and your farmers closer,” is the whole idea that started this “Farm to Table” kind of grocery where you can find HEALTHY, farm fresh food.

 
Visiting the store is inspiring for me. I have tasted mini juicy cucumbers which reminded me of edamame. I have worked in organic purple yam into Nino’s smoothie bowls. And I have been able to taste my first ever gooseberry.
 
I honestly, don’t think I could find these healthy ingredients in any other store but Real Food.
 

Three of the ladies behind the store with their ever helpful staff during the anniversary celebration, which took place earlier this week.

 
Other items you can expect to find when you visit:
  • organic maple syrup
  • organic spices
  • freeze dried fruits
  • dried fruits, granola, and kale chips
  • vegan & gluten free food options
  • whole grain long fermented freshly baked bread
  • organic wine
  • fresh teas
  • read to drink kombucha
Fresh produce from Surigao, Pangasinan, and Batangas, honeycomb from Bukidnon, and grass fed Pork and beef, the home chef mom who wants to give her family the best can start, with the best ingredients from all over the Philippines, in a responsible way, takes the “love local” way of living straight from these farms to their own dining tables.
 

I love working the fresh turmeric into smoothies and shakes, and the gooseberries are yummy when you pop them in your mouth straight from the fridge!

 
Want to eat healthier and you’re not from the south or near Molito in Alabang? You’re in luck. Real Food has a selection of their products at UpMarket in Makati Place, and will soon be available online at www.metromarket.com and on their own website www.realfoodph.com.

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.
