Mothers Who Brunch

#PantryPlay with Lock and Lock

There are so many things we can do to keep our kitchens more organized.

Keeping the kitchens organized means getting meals on the table faster and more efficiently.

That makes for easy cooking and serving.

Right?

Last month, Sabrina and I welcomed the media into the Häcker Kitchen to showcase just how easy it is to organize your pantry with the help of Lock and Lock’s NEW Easy Match line.

By using this presentation as a simple guide, we were able to introduce some easy concepts into keeping a cleaner and more organized food pantry. This way, we can eliminate food waste and also make sure that our jobs as Chef Moms is not any more difficult than it has to be.

Lock and Lock Easy Match Line makes it easy on us in the kitchen by having matching tops and bottoms. These plastic containers can also save space by stacking when put away. They keep the bugs away, moisture out, and with simple labels from Happy Kitchen Inc, can even make for easily identifying what ingredients you may need when preparing your family meals.

Is this #pantrygoals or what? I love how the girls from Boqueria Lifestyle Market turned these empty kitchen cabinets into a colorfully organized resource filled with raw ingredients for our guests to get creative with the Ariston and Philips appliances.

Here are some items we incorporated into the mix with the design eye of Lady and Steph to exemplify just how easy it is to organize your pantry.

Pantry Labels by Happyinc.PH keep things neat and tidy without any confusion. Labeling all your baking and dry ingredients not only keeps everything in their right place, they are also pretty too.

Using a riser in your spice cabinet makes it easier to find your McCormick spices that you are looking for. Plus, it just makes more sense this way, doesn’t it?

Even using under the shelf baskets makes it easier to find the ingredients you are looking for. I use these under the shelf baskets for my bags of pasta.

Sometimes, it’s ok to think “outside the box.” Like in this case we used a magazine holder which would normally be used in the office, to store our Glad Cling Wrap and Press and Seal. 

But having these ingredients ready for picking is what made this Mothers Who Brunch event just a little different from the previous events we have hosted. 

We asked our guests to cook for US!!

Each team of “cookers” was given a resource list of recipes that Sabrina and I provided. 

We asked each team to come up with something that they would like to cook or assemble. And we asked them to serve it in a creative way using their Lock and Lock Easy Match containers which could be seen all over the showroom.

Team One prepared a tomato based mixture that could be topped on pasta or served in a taco. And then they provided another option for our favorite meal of the day…brunch. Or as Joey, from 80 breakfasts would have…breakfast. 

Of course, using fresh organic ingredients from Earth Origins made this dish even more appealing to the the health buffs in attendance.

They were able to create more than one dish!

Multiple ways to use the same ingredients utilizing the #zerowaste principle in the kitchen, made this momma super happy!

(It really drives me nuts when food is wasted.)

Team Two prepared a dry rubbed chicken served atop a couscous salad and corn on the cob that was cooked in the Philips pressure cooker to stay within their alloted 45 minutes. They even made a chocolate dessert!

Can you say amazing? 

Team Three created one of my favorite meals to prepare when I am short on time and haven’t shopped in a while.

This was Rowena’s go-to recipe for Tuna Pesto Pasta made with ease and a ready to use sauce sachet from Clara Olé!

Using all the pantry staples in this dish and even adding in ingredients that might be left over in the fridge is even better!

Pass the Pasta Please!!!

Have I shared that I grew up eating pasta 3-4 times a week?

So you can imagine how much pasta we eat in my household with four kiddos and a pasta loving momma…

Want the inside scoop on how much fun this event was?

Check out this video snippet of all the fun we had together in the Häcker Kitchen.

Thank you Lock and Lock for trusting us to launch your new Easy Match line!

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.
