Ice Scramble

I used to buy this back in my elementary days. That was like ten years ago. Now, you see people eating/sipping it but not in that small pink cup anymore.

I first tasted the mall version in Farmers Cubao one Saturday. The taste is almost the same as the one I used to buy but this time, apart from the chocolate syrup, there is an option to add candy sprinkles, marshmallows, rice crispies and others. It attracted me.


Last week, hubby found its recipe and made some at home. I super enjoyed that asked him to make it again. The whole family liked it, specially Ayex. Maybe this could be a start of another business for us in the future.

Maxyn turns 2 months today


She’s one big adorable baby. Many say she looks like a 6-month old baby that I sometimes feel she’s no longer a baby. She now weighs 13.7lbs. She can keep her head steady for some time already and follows the talking person with her eyes.

To celebrate, hubby cooked pork barbeque and palabok.


Hubby prepared this last night using Clara Ole Barbeque Marinade. I like its taste and tenderness.



For this sauce, hubby used Mama Sita’s palabok mix. I never knew palabok can be done this easy. It was my sister-in-law who taught us this when she was here last summer.

Thank God that almost everyone in the family in now sore eyes-free, we were able to truly celebrate.

Home-made vegetable salad

home-made vegetable salad
This happy dish was served last New Year’s Eve. Hubby and I were so tired of all the meat we had during the holidays that we thought of somehow detoxifying. And for Ayex’s birthday celebration last January 9, I made a batch for the adults. I was so surprised that it was a hit!

What we used

  • 2 packs Chinese lettuce (We brought ours from SM Hypermartket)
  • 1 can of Corn kernel
  • 1/4kg grapes, cut into halves
  • 1 pack of soup and salad croutons
  • 2 pieces mangoes, cut into cubes
  • mayonnaise
  • ketchup
  • sugar

How to make the salad

You basically have everything already and all you have to do is just arrange them to make them presentable. I used a square serving dish (I have this thing with serving dish). In that plate, I arranged the lettuce first, then I added the corn kernels, cubed mangoes, grapes and croutons one after the other. And voila – you have a healthy, delicious and inexpensive salad!

As for the dressing, I asked hubby to make one since he didn’t want to opt for the ready-made thousand island dressing. He used the mayonnaise, ketchup and sugar to make his own dressing. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the exact measurements he used so I take it as a trial and error.

Other ingredients you may want to add to your salad are:

  • tomatoes, cut in circles
  • bacon bits
  • hard-boiled eggs, cut in circles

Have you made a veggie salad at home yourself? Share with us your recipe. Happy weekend, everyone!
