Mango Float

This dessert is as easy breezy and really yummy as the other dishes I have posted here. What you just actually need is a little patience and neatness. I think it took me a number of mango floats to reach this look. Most of the time, during my previous tries, it was sloppy. But practice makes perfect! And ever since my husband has been assigned in Zambales, where mangoes are ultra sweet during harvest time, Mango Float has been like an adobo of desserts. I can whip this up like it's so mundane. *forgive me as I fan myself with so much kayabangan* 

Ingredients:

- 1 pack 200g graham crackers

- 1 154ml condensed milk

- 1 250 ml all purpose cream

- 2 medium-sized ripe yellow mangoes 

Frugal Market Finds: The Life-Saver Pinakbet Pack

Today, I went to the market. My frugal inner self talked to me once again. These are my finds in quantity and with its prices:
                            

It's not costly plus it's healthy! I sometimes find it hard to think of what to feed my 4-year-old preschooler since she eats like a bird; buying in small portion is not an easy feat. But veggie packs such as shown in the photo is definitely a life-saver. LB eats squash and eggplant (without the peeling). As of this post, the bananas were all gone --- I only ate one. So we know who the culprit is. 

How about you mommas, what are your inexpensive and healthy ways in marketing?

Bebeng Goes to Market

Armed with my 3-year-old bayong & a purse from Davao

When I was a kid, my mom used to tag me along with her during her weekly wet market trip. We went to Nepa Q-Mart in Quezon City. I remember one time that she didn't, because she said I have the tendency to be "bilmoko" (short for BILI MO KO), a Pinoy pun for one who wants anything seen bought for her. I cried with my monologue "Mama, sama mo 'ko!" And when I realized she's not at home and left already, I just cut my bangs really short. Rebellious act, indeed. She didn't scold me though when she got home but after that incident, I can't find the scissors when I was doing a project for school! Well, this isn't about how I was as a kid, but how I started my love for shopping, wet market included.
