Had to try this @avas_kitchen Lactation Spread right away because we’re nuts about peanut butter! While others spread it on apples, celeries, and bananas, I’m your classic tita who prefers it on a toasted pandesal 😉 I’m amazed that the malunggay leaves doesn’t add any bitterness to the spread. 💙 Grab yours today at @mommymundo’s #expomomnorth2 at @ilovetrinoma #lactationspread #malunggaypeanutbutter #mommymundo #expomomnorth2019

Look what came in the mail today! Here are the participating brands for this Friday to Sunday’s #expomomnorth2 at @ilovetrinoma !

What happened to my pet pig? 🐖 — Fun fact: I was amazed that simple celebrations at my Mother in law’s in Mindanao always include Lechon. I later learned that this is because it’s more affordable and less hassle for them. Mama will only need to raise a pig or two on her backyard (free range!) and have a roaster season, cook, and deliver it. It should feed a whole lot of guests and therefore, they only need to prepare a few other viands (or not at all). . Also, it’s so much tastier and juicier than the ones here in Manila. They use young pigs and stuff them with a lot of herbs and spices so they don’t need sarsa to compensate 🙂 The best part is the ribs! . Thanks, wawa for hosting Tikoy’s party. #lechon

The triceratops looks frightened. We enjoyed this sand play with Tikoy.

We like ending our meals with something sweet and @bakepertise ’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Bites is just the right size for this after-lunch or dinner dessert. I like its caramel essence (she uses brown sugar) and that it can last up to 1 month without any chemical preservatives! It’s a nice snack for our toddler too! 🍪 Get them from @bakepertise for only PhP 60.00 per pack (such a steal!). They also offer wholesale for your giveaways, gifts, or simply for pantry stock. 🙂 🍪 Just dm @bakepertise to order now! #bakepertise #bakepertiseph #cookies #cookiesph #cookie #chocolatechipcookiesph #cookiebitesph

Here is Tikoy eating Lato (Sea Caviar/Sea Grapes). Sometimes, he still surprises us with his taste for “non-kiddie” food. 🙂 #tikoyeats

One of our favorite fruits from Mindanao is the Marang. To me, it’s like a large and slightly tangy version of Atis. It’s a shame that it ripens easily or I would’ve asked for a dozen or two from my mother in law. 😆 This is Tikoy’s picture from the first time he tried it.

I was as fascinated with Kab kab (also called kiping) as Tikoy when I first tried it in 2014. It’s crispy and lightly sweetened by caramel. Yum! #kiping #kabkab

We had a little candle blowing ceremony last night for Tikoy. He’s officially 2 years old!
