5-Day Meal Plan with US Potato #USPotatoPowerPH

Regular readers of this blog know how much I love US Potatoes whether it is fresh, frozen, or dehydrated. Over the  years, I have shared several recipes here on the blog using US Potatoes. To this day, I am still a believer. I  rely on US Potato if I want to create and eat something good and nutritious.

I’m working my way to a much healthier me- starting with quitting my smoking habit (which I’ve done for almost a year now), being mindful on the food that I consume, and exercise daily.

Quitting smoking entails gaining weight for some and that includes me. That is why recently, I have come up with a simple way to manage my food intake. I am not too crazy about getting thin because truth is, I am at peace with my body structure. What I am concerned about is being healthy. I don't mind being plump, I just want to be healthy.

I have always been a believer of the wonders of US Dehydrated Potatoes. I have been working on various recipes using it and every time, I am falling for the convenience it brings. I have previously mentioned here on the blog that I am one of those old souls who appreciates the art of slow food. However, it does not negate the fact that sometimes, convenience and time come as a priority - especially when a situation calls for it.

I am a recipe developer and food stylist by trade so, it is important to me that the materials I am using for my clients are of good quality, convenient to use, versatile, and do not require too much time to prepare because in this profession, time is gold.

In recipe development, I often use US Potatoes - fresh, frozen, and dehydrated. I am a believer of the nutritional value that one can get from US Potatoes so it is part of my arsenal. I have shared recipes here on the blog that use both fresh and frozen US Potatoes. Now it's time to tackle  US Dehydrated Potatoes.

Morganfield's Philippines New Menu and Affordable Value Meal and Combo Sets

Morganfield's Philippines, home of the famous and delicious Sticky Bones recently added new items to their menu. I figured it is the best time to finally visit their branch at Ayala Malls The 30th one of Morganfield's three branches here in the Philippines, the other two are located at SM MOA and Uptown BGC. It is one of the restaurants highly recommended by some of my fellow Manila food bloggers and friends who shares the same love for good ol' ribs, and I can understand them why.

It is not as if Morganfield's menu wasn't extensive and impressive enough because I tell you, they have everything for everyone. Add to that the fact that the have value meal sets with really affordable prices.

Morganfield's commitment to satisfy their diners with their Sticky Bones and other dishes drives them to continuously develop menu items that everyone will surely loves. Yes, aside from the signature dishes from their mothership in Malaysia, Morganfield's Philippines got some dishes developed with local diners in mind. 

McDonald's McSpicy is Back with the New Garlic Parmesan McSpicy #McSpicy

Today, I woke up with a good news that my favorite McSpicy is finally back and tagging along in its resurgence is the new Garlic Parmesan McSpicy. I don't know about you, but McSpicy, although at times elusive, is on top of the list of my favorite grubs at McDonald's menu. Funny thing is, I find the new Garlic Parmesan McSpicy impressive enough it quickly becomes a tough competitor on the top spot.

Now there's a catch - McSpicy and Garlic Parmesan McSpicy are available for limited time only. Sad, I know. But all the more reason to make the most out of its limited time.

Make the most of its limited time, hell yeah I did. Upon receiving boxes upon boxes of McSpicy and Garlic Parmesan McSpicy via McDelivery, I quickly finished two - one of each variant - in one go. Cleared two boxes and hid under the pretense that I am doing it for the blog. Truth is, I miss McSpicy - big time. 

Applebee's Philippines New Menu: Serving Up Good Times!

Applebee's Grill and Bar Philippines recently launched its new menu straight from the US packed with new dishes including all-new local favorites. Applebee's has always been about encouraging their valued customers to celebrate everything - from small victories to the grandest milestones. Hence, their new brand promise, "Serving Up Good Times" is very much fitting.

That is why when it comes to celebrations spent at Applebee's are guaranteed to give you the best dining experience from great food to amazing service. 

I should know, I celebrated with them many times since they opened here in Manila. It is safe to say that I am a fan and I know some of you are too. 

A Stay at Makati Diamond Residences

I have been to decent number of hotel staycations with my KTG Manila bloggers family and the recent one which I deem really enjoyable and memorable was our stay at Makati Diamond Residences. A luxurious serviced apartment in the heart of Makati Central Bssiness District, Makati Diamond Residences is part of San Miguel Properties Inc.

Now I say that when asked for recommendation on good place to stay in Makati area, I would certainly highly recommend Makati Diamond Residences. Heaven knows how I love that place. 

Everything was just perfect during our stay. The place, the company, and of course the food - those glorious food! I wish I have blogged about this soon, but corrupted memory card means months of waiting before you could retrieved lost files. So now, here I am.
