NEW MAGNOLIA GOLD LABEL ICE CREAM: Just In Time For the Holidays


 

Sometimes, we just need something sweet to end our meals. MAGNOLIA just upped the game by bringing out the new GOLD LABEL ICE CREAM. As Filipinos gather around the table during this season of giving, we can't help but have our sweet endings. MAGNOLIA really did a number.

What makes MAGNOLIA GOLD LABEL ICE CREAM different from others would be that they are made with REAL CARABAO milk. This makes the ice cream creamier and healthier. Natural and smooth, these ice cream flavors are just perfect.

Just last October 26, 2021, there was quite the reveal. Different talents from the industry came out and showed their support for the new ice cream line. Marvin Agustin, Happy Ongpauco-Tiu, Megan Young, Alden Richards, and even Hidilyn Diaz were there. They talked about the new flavors. The new flavors were: Choco Peanut Butter made with Skippy, S'mores, Tablea Yema, Rocky Road, Taro White Cheese, Avocado Macchiato, and Mango Dark Chocolate.


Aside from having a huge collection of premium flavors they came out with a couple new ones. Quite intriguing that I really want to try them all out. Remember, all these are all natural without artificial flavors.

Kenny Rogers just went above and beyond by introducing some healthy options. They partnered with BEYOND MEAT to provide some plant based dishes for you picky eaters.

This time, they offer a burger and a mashed potato that's made with or partnered with BEYOND MEAT. The burger itself is a genius piece of meat.

Baked sushi is another dish that became popular on social media due to many vloggers and chef's recreating the recipe. This has led to many online entrepreneurs selling baked sushi to bring the contemporary dish to homes everywhere. BUT YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN BAKED SUSHI AT HOME since sushi ingredients are available at Asian grocery marts and online sellers of Korean and Japanese food.  Here's my version of the BAKED SUSHI that I made at home easily.

The good news is that THESE DRINKS CAN BE EASILY REPLICATED with crushed ice, chocolate syrup, chocolate chips, spices, and a blender in your kitchen.

TRYING OUT PACIFIC WEST SEAFOOD: Safe Dining At Home Made Easy

 So it's been like this. Preferring to eat at home just because you won't know if it's safe to eat out. With COVID cases in the thousands, it would make sense to eat at home. At least, you're sure of the stuff that you get. One of the things that I was lucky enough to try out would be PACIFIC WEST SEAFOOD. It's a known brand that has ready to cook frozen meals. To be specific, they got very good restaurant quality seafood. 
They sent on over a number of easy to cook frozen seafood. I like how you don't need to be a great chef to have restaurant grade dishes. For today, I was able to try 4 of their special dishes. From Dusted Baby Squid, Lemon Pepper Squid Chunks, Popcorn Shrimps, and Cheesy Fish Fillet.
 Cooking them is pretty easy. No need to thaw, just heat up a pan with oil. Then, deep fry for roughly 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
 Whoever did the RND on the Cheesy Fish Fillet is a genius. The breading kept the cheese inside. It didn't leak and destroy the dish. This actually reminded me of a seafood restaurant that shall not be named but it's really that good. Partner this with some aoili sauce or lemon and butter plus some chips or fries and you're good to go.
 I was actually thinking how to differentiate the two types of squid that was sent over. The dusted one is a little darker in color because of the breading. It was also more formed compared to the chunks. In contrast, the chunks are a like small balls made with breading and cut up pieces of squid. The popcorn shrimp though would be perfect with some cocktail sauce. My goodness, everything in this seafood platter is pretty good.

QUICK BITES: MILKY DUST DONUTS

This is not your ordinary munchin. It looks normal from the outside but these donuts are different. MILKY DUST DONUTS is extraordinary. A brainchild of Twinkle Lacsamana, this is her labor of love.
Sprinkled with sugar dusting, different small balls of fun would surprise customers. Each has a filling that would make you want to eat more.
Mocha would definitely be our favorite. The mixture found inside makes it a perfect one for coffee lovers.
Chocolate tastes a bit traditional for me. The bread is soft and moist. They're pretty good as a snack on the go.
There's also a milky vanilla flavor and ube cheese. The vanilla is a little too sweet for me. The ube has a familiar cheese flavor inside it. Maybe next time, I'll ask her not to add sugar coatings so that I can eat some more.

TAKING CARE OF YOUR GUT: World Digestive Health Day 2020

 As a foodie, I tend to go overboard with food. Who wouldn't right? With food present left and right, it's a bit too much sometimes. Especially now that Metro Manila is in a quarantine, we tend to create dishes and eat as long as we want to. One thing I realized early on is that we need to take care of our gut. 
Today is WORLD DIGESTIVE HEALTH DAY 2020. Today, it's all about taking care of our tummy. It's something that we need to do to keep up with everything that's happening around us.
 Stress, oily dishes, and not eating on time could lead to problems for our stomach. It's better to have a preventive approach when it comes to this. Eat healthy dishes like veggies. Go for high fiber intake. Don't forget to take in tons of fluids. Exercise is also the best way to go.
 Just in case, you might need some medications that could help you out. When, there's pain involved, there's a decrease in the way we move about. It's best to take care of it asap. If we're having loose bowel, we need to take care of it just so that we don't get dehydrated. On the flipside, having constipation is also bad for us. It's all about balance.  Sanofi Philippines sent on over some samples of their dependable meds. As always, please consult your healthcare provider before taking any of these.
 If you're feeling constipated, DULCOLAX will be your best bet. It's best to take it before you sleep just so that when you wake up, you'll have an easier bowel movement. Best to drink it with a full glass of water.
On the other hand, when you have loose bowel movement, ERCEFLORA is a great medication when you're trying to restore the normal balance in your tummy. It's basically a probiotic to help your gut return to normal. They now offer these for kid as well in the form of Probi Bears.
 Essentiale Forte P is something for your liver. It helps protect and promote liver health especially when you have a chronic liver disease. So, it's best for you to take alcoholic drinks in moderation and never go overboard.

BUSCOPAN is a great antispasmodic medication to help you with abdominal pain. They now offer one that's targeting cramps for our female friends with the Buscopan Venus. These would help decrease stomach spasms and help us get through the day.

SANOFI is encouraging everyone to talk about their gut feelings. They're using the hashtags #WDHD and #LetsTalkAboutGutFeelings. Maybe you could share your stories too. Cheers.

EASY TO MAKE SUSHI BAKE: THE LATEST FOOD CRAZE IN METRO MANILA

 Ever since Metro Manila has been in a lockdown, people are craving for sushi and sashimi and even rolls. The fact that raw dishes are quite easy to contaminate, my family and I would only get outside food that we could reheat before eating. Just to be safe. A dish that came in handy during the lockdown would be SUSHI BAKE.
 It's basically a make your own california maki. It's quite easy to make. Ingredients are easy to find especially if you're near a Japanese market store. Sometimes, Korean shops have these items too.
 To start off, you will need a lb of imitation crab or kani sticks, nori or seaweeds, 3/4 cups japanese mayo like kewpie, 3 cups of cooked rice, furikake for seasoning, 1/2 cup sour cream, and sriracha (optional). You could also have some extra seaweeds or nori wrappers and sweet mango slices. If you want it to be more special, add some ebiko or those little orange eggs that you see.
 Mix together the crab, japanese mayo, sour cream, and some furikake. In a casserole dish or baking pan, spread a layer of cooked rice up to a little below the halfway mark. Don't over do it because you could get really full easy. Add furikake on top and a sheet of nori just to cover it up. Then, spread the mixture that you just mixed. Add the ebiko on top. Broil for a few minutes until the topping is browned. Once done, you could serve it as is or get a little bit then place it in a nori wrapper. Add mangoes and dip into soy sauce. Here, you have your very own SUSHI BAKE. For sure, you can mix and match different toppings as well. I'm thinking of adding some uni to the mix too and maybe cheese.

Here's an extra. If you have tons of kani or imitation crab sticks, just egg wash them and put some panko breadings. Add nori or seaweed in the middle then deep fry. You then got your very own KANI FRY. Easy.
