Menu Planning with Lady’s Choice

COVID cooking has changed the way we stock our pantry and freezer. Even the way we plan our menu for the week has been adjusted. Going out of the condo only once a week, helps us with our intention of keeping exposure to a minimum. Minimal exposure to outside elements keeps everyone safe and healthy. If I plan my menu well, and I am mindful of how I prepare our food, I can keep everyone’s immunity up as well. Thankfully, I was invited to share some of my menu planning tips and tricks for Mommy Mundo with the help of Lady’s Choice.

Kitchen Tips Made Easy

If you want to pick up some new tricks in the kitchen for your cooking arsenal, be sure to catch the video Nino and I put together for Mommy Mundo Followers.  It will be released on the Mommy Mundo IGTV channel tomorrow, June 24th at 9pm.

Sure, fast food meal we grabbed at the drive-through window is a lot more convenient, but meal times with family aren’t called “magic bullets’ for no reason. As filmmaker and journalist Miriam Weinstein wrote, sharing a meal with your family “improves the quality of your daily life, your children’s chances of success in the world, your family’s health, and our values as a society.”⁣ ⁣ Although meal preps require more time and effort, we can do meal planning to help us reduce meal time stress and improve nutrition.⁣ ⁣ Now who’s game for meal planning tips and tricks? @mommanmanila of the @bestbuddies_ph is tipping off what worked for her so make sure to join us on Wednesday, June 24 at 9pm, and let’s watch her flair for cooking delightful meals + helpful tips on how we can make meal preparations more manageable in our homes.⁣ And good news! . Mommy Mundo has partnered with Lady’s Choice to give away P300 worth of @lazadaph GC’s to those mommas who will try any of the recipes or the tips that will be shared. . So watch with us, create, snap a photo, and post it using the hashtags #MakeTimeToCreate #LadysChoicePH⁣ ⁣ Go for it moms! Don’t forget to tag us!⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #MaketimeforWhatMatters #MMLearns #MakeTimeToCreate #mompowerment #mmcommunity #intentionalmotherhood #OnlineEvent #MindfulParenting #mealplanning

It’s packed full of tips and tricks that I have found useful throughout my years in the kitchen preparing meals for my family and friends.

Easy Peasy Recipe

Plus, I will be sharing an awesome recipe that my mother in law shared with me many years ago. This delicious chicken salad is usually requested whenever I attend summer pot lucks. The added bonus is that it feels really healthy with all the veggies that are mixed in.

Download and Print

Because #sharingiscaring I’m also including some free printables for you to use in your own home kitchen.

There is space on this weekly meal plan for each of your meals, and for the shopping list on the side of your menu planner.

And because it’s always good to start with a LIST, (you guys know I LOVE lists) here is a Pantry Essentials List that Sabrina and I used for one of our events.

It just took a little bit of editing to make it appropriate for our current quarantine situation.

There are Science based researches that say happy parents are more likely to have happy children.⁣ ⁣ Well that’s most likely because our relationship with our partner greatly influences the way we interact with our kids. Which means working hand in hand and as a team is a must in raising happier and more confident kids.⁣ ⁣ Now what does working as a team entails in parenthood and family life?⁣ ⁣ Join us on another #StayHome series with @PLDTHome on Monday, June 29 at 8:00PM as singer-songwriter @aiadeleon and photographer @erronocampo will talk about “Shared Parenting” and keeping your relationship with your partner healthy.⁣ ⁣ Mark your calendars!

I love it when a @bestbuddies_ph event comes toget I love it when a @bestbuddies_ph event comes together so easily. When Sandra Cheng shared that she was willing to share more about her benefits of @easecox.ig essential oils with our buddies, the team and I quickly brainstormed a program flow that was in line with this opportunity to learn. 

Grateful for @monicaemanzano who was so game to share a movement segment from @flowretreats. She thought of @curatedgoodfood who generously shared preservative free dimsum which goes perfectly with our healthy sammies from @h2v2partyneedsandcatering. @komida.foods has been a consistent supporter of our mission and events since last year. We are grateful for their continued mission of providing healthy snacks for our events!

We opened with @joanngue.mlg pranayamic breath work, moved on to a yoga flow with Monica, followed by mindfulness with @enzoarmovit, a gratitude circle, and then esssential oils for beginners with Sandra from Easecox Philippines.

What a wonderful morning spent with our Buddies in BGC! 

Thank you to everyone who made this event so easy to conceptualize and mount! 

PS. If you would like to be a buddy. Please PM me. Bugsy and I are so blessed to have one another and I love that we get to do things like this together!
Colors. My first girl got to go on her first med Colors. 

My first girl got to go on her first medical mission in October. 

Gosh, they grow up so fast. 

We bought her new scrubs for the trip. It feels like yesterday when I was buying her green skirts and black Mary Janes for grade school.

Now she’s all grown. On her way to becoming a doctor.
At some point during the evening, @gelliaventajado At some point during the evening, @gelliaventajado turned to me and said “Mom, thank you so much for bringing me here. I love Frozen.” 

As Gelli continues to grow up, some things remain the same. Her love for princesses, her love for her siblings, having fun with the family, and music and dance in any form. 

What an enchanted evening we had visiting the Samsung Theater in @_circuitmakati to watch the FROZEN film in CONCERT with a LIVE ORCHESTRA. From the moment Gelli hear the orchestra’s accompaniment to the film, to the vocalists who sang along, she was mesmerized.

Thank you @dotdigitalph for inviting Gelli to experience this up close and personal!! She had a blast!
