Vitamix Philippines

If you follow me on Instagram, you have probably noticed a change slightly in my feed. I have been adding a lot more healthier posts for Nino by way of breakfast trays that I prepare for him on most mornings. 

Breakfast for my ❤. Papaya, Saba, Camote, Beet, Berry Bowl topped with flax, Chia, granola, and Saba. Cereal bread from #alabangsaturdaymarket #Geraldph with #almondbutter from @madebymaxph. #myvitamixstory #vitamixphilippines #madebymax #breakfasttray #healthy #healthyeats #alabangsaturdaymarket #vegan #smoothiebowl

I say most mornings because, although I have been quite busy lately, I have been able to leave some instructions for the helpers to prepare breakfast when I am called out of the house early for work or Best Buddies activities.
 
The biggest change in our household diet was that I became much more consistent with our breakfasts. Starting with a smoothie bowl in the morning is a great way to get a ton of vitamins and nutrients in a way that’s fresh, fun, and easy to change up so it won’t get boring.
 

I know this guy loves it when I pay extra special attention to the meals that I serve him and our family. And since I promised all those years ago to always take care of him, this is just one of the many ways I can show him I care…by making sure we start our days in a healthier way.

 
Dare I say, that Nino had begun to enjoy and look forward to the different variations that I throw together with the help of my new Vitamix Blender.
 
Truth: I have wanted to add a Vitamix to my kitchen for years. I just felt it was never a justified investment.
 
 
 

First step in making healthier choices? Buy a new appliance for the kitchen, of course! ???????????? What color would you choose? Black or stainless? • • Look @thexpatdietitian! Momma’s got a new toy!!! • • #vitamixphilippines #homecooking #healthy #organic #holycarabao #kitchengoodness

That is, until I asked for the no obligation free home demonstration. 
 
Another Truth: Even before I had the demonstration, I already knew I seriously had to consider this investment because our nutritionist, Bex Lwin had shared how much she uses her vitamix. She uses it anywhere from 4-5 times a day.
 
But then that demo though…
 
Marie had come to the house and shown me quite a few things that the Vitamix was capable of.
 
This appliance is the real deal guys!
 
She made vegan ice cream for us. She made bell pepper soup. She made a green smoothie. And Nino, Gia, and myself were sold. I couldn’t wait to get my own Vitamix so that I could begin to make healthier dishes and decisions for our family.
 
Flash forward to the present: We have had our Vitamix now for a little more than two months, and both my husband and I have shed a few pounds with the healthier dishes we are able to prepare in a jiffy.
 
 
And because I am always looking to learn new things, when Terry Tantoco-Dy invited me to a little workshop Vitamix Philippines was hosting with Kristine Crouch at Abenson in BGC, I asked my best girl if she would like to tag along and make a day of it. 
 
 
In fact, because my parents have been avid Vitamix users ever since, I asked them if they would like to join us. They were so happy that they came!
 

Managing Director, Ortrud Ting, Kristine Crouch, and myself after Kristine’s informative demonstration on her vegan recipes and the benefits of veganism lifestyle.

 
Kristine taught us a bunch of quick and easy recipes that I will definitely make at home. Gia and I were having such a good time at the workshop, we were already planning what we were going to be making today for lunch.
 
 
Confession: I had poke bowls on the brain after trying Kristine’s peanut salad dressing.
 
I can totally imagine the fun I’m going to have when making salads once I add the spiralizer to our kitchen counter…
 
 
Can you imagine the possibilities???

Waterside @solaireresort’s BBQ Brunch Buffet has Waterside @solaireresort’s BBQ Brunch Buffet has all the southern fixings and more.

Grilled and smoked meats. Seafood and mixed drinks. Fried chicken and fish and chips. Starters include fresh salads, corn bread, nachos and more. But the kicker comes in the form of a Make Your Own Milkshake bar, and YES, you can order it spiked with your favorite liquor! 

Waterside is only one of quite a few restaurants that you can enjoy  beautiful weekend brunches with your favorite person, the fam bam, or your friends. 

Check out www.mommanmanila.com to see the full menu and what Nino and I enjoyed most.
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!

Looking forward to bringing the family back soon!

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!!!
Eggs Benny with BBQ Pulled Pork was just one of ma Eggs Benny with BBQ Pulled Pork was just one of many dishes that we enjoyed during #SundayBrunch at Waterside in @solaireresort .

From cornbread, to mom’s potato salad, melt in your mouth whisky cured short ribs, homemade sausages and more. This #BrunchBuffet had @manila.gent and I rolling each other out the door!

Hard to choose which was our favorite from the feast that was set before us!

Brunch is inclusive of some delicious drinks, some Southern smoked and BBQ Fare, and a most colorful sweet dessert buffet by way of Milkshake Bar!

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!
