Wheat Bread - Maison ICHIPAN.

It's Friday morning and most likely I'm running out of snacks for kids at school. So after sending them to school we went directly to the nearest grocery store opened in our area, Shangs Town Center. While walking around the shelves that soft colored green plastic in the bread section caught my attention. Oh, that's new bread in town I guess! I examined it and there I found out that's a WHOLE WHEAT BREAD from local bakeshop in Cebu City. It's healthy and affordable. For a small pack of Php 50, you can have that healthy bread inside your shopping cart. After school, kids said that bread is soft and tasty. They love it! I'm so glad that they really like the taste and texture of Maison Ichipan Whole Wheat Bread because most whole wheat bread I bought they don't approve and being sent back to sender to me. But this one, it's not wasted and being loved by them and so do I.

Moist Chocolate Muffins with Avocado

To nourish our kids, we moms love to prepare delicious yet nutritious foods for them. Snacks are on the go and most frequent food for them to munch whenever and where ever their little tummies feel hungry. This Monday, I baked classic Moist Chocolate Muffins this time with Avocado. We all know that Avocado is rich in Vitamin E and good for the skin. So why not blend this season tropical fruit Avocado to our chocolate muffins to give new twist and taste?
