How To Prepare Quick and Healthy Meals

http://www.sxc.hu/pic/m/b/bj/bjearwicke/686981_father_and_daughter_2.jpg
The responsibility of being a mother is not an easy role, especially nowadays where moms have started being as career oriented as dads.
Work doesn't actually start when we step in the office at 8 and ends when the bell rings at 5 - but it starts the moment the first child is born.

The responsibility of being a mother never stops until the day they cease to exist.
Whether their children are in school having their declamation contest, at home sick, having their first heartache or in the future when handling their own newborn, moms are like doctors, 24/7 on call whenever their children need our rescue.

Being a mother, it is important to ensure that their precious little ones are getting the right amount of food and nutrition to be able to meet their growing needs.

With the growing diet-related diseases in today's society, it is necessary that moms implement healthy eating lifestyles and habits for children.

At a young age, children need to understand the role of meat+vegetables+fruits in the development of their bodies and in boosting their immune system.
The real challenge for moms however, is preparing a balanced meal that our kids would love.

Having grown in an environment that food is always served in the table, most didn't have the chance to peep on what's "going-on" during food preparation and learning how to cook was never a priority until you will get married and be hands-on in your family's nutrition.

With tedious office work and kid's assignments that have to be taught, moms barely have the time to prepare a day's healthy meal for the whole family.
As a working mom, kids’ lunch and snacks had to be prepared early in the morning before they bring the kids to school. Rarely do you have the time to experiment on different flavors that will soothe their taste.

It's a good thing that this website, kitchenomics.com is available freely and online! We can now easily access the website so you need not worry on what food to prepare.


Quick-cook healthy and affordable recipes are made available online from Del Monte and also by other moms who've had a lot of experience and experiments in the kitchen.
techniques are also taught for amateur cooks so that food preparation less of a hassle for you.

For those newly wedded ladies, whether it’s your first time to hold a knife or to stir-fry, you won't get lost with the basic guide videos kitchenomics.com has provided.
Price watch is also made available so hard-working moms are made aware of the current prices of poultry and vegetables without going to the market.

Ktichenomics has helped a lot of moms and I encourage you to visit the site too, to experience the convenience kitchenomics brings to your house.

For soon to be parents out there, this site is a must read!

Az and Lace, some reading for you guys since parents na kayo next year :p

This is the best site I found that has all the information you guys would be needing. It's so complete that when I made 3 surveys in different forums on what baby sites do they read, almost all of them said that they are reading Baby Center.

Here are some of the shortcut links from that site:
  • Getting pregnant
  • Pregnancy
  • Baby (Birth - 12 months)
  • Toddler (12-36 months)

What's great is, that website is already localized!

Anyway, congrats to both of you! Happy parenting soon! :P

8 very useful and practical Christmas gifts to be ready for the future

If you are thinking of what Christmas gift to give to friends and relatives this Christmas, may I suggest a few not-so-expensive Christmas gift ideas?

*This list is inspired by the movie, City of Ember, Wall-E and the game series, Fallout.

I can't help but think that this is not far from reality. I had played the original fallout game and I enjoyed it. It was somewhat similar to the Wall E movie, except that in Wall E, there was no life on Earth anymore. In fallout, there were life but, radiation was high that you have to bring Anti-radiation medicine with you all the time.

What the Earth looks like in Wall E

They all have something similar. A hiding place. In fallout, a vault was made to isolate people infected with sickness and radiation. In the movie City of Ember, an undergound city was made. in Wall E, a spaceship was made as their refuge from Earth's destruction.

What if one day, all the oil would be depleted and we would experience a similar scenario like what was shown in those movies?

Here are some suggestions, on what to give this Christmas.
(NO BATTERIES NEEDED IN ALL OF THE GADGETS LISTED BELOW)

1. LED squeeze flashlight
Squeeze flashlight
Just squeeze to recharge the power and it's ready to use!!! Convert your unused energy into good use! In divisoria (Manila), you could buy such device for as low as $2 US Dollars.

2. Crank-it-up emergency radio
The image “http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41ZRN1Z13EL._SS400_.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.
Who needs expensive batteries? Even if there is no power shortage right now (just yet), why not use this crank-up powered radio? It's worth investing on because in the near future where power and oil, including batteries would be scarce and amazingly expensive, you still have a radio to listen to. It's time to invent a crank-it-up iPod, laptop, cellphone etc...

3. Solar charger
solar charger green
Yep, it does what it says. You need sunlight though. Very handy to use when camping outdoors. Make sure you use a reliable network and install animal repellents around or your phone might be gobbled up into peices.

4. The ever reliable, Swiss army knife
swiss knife
I had one since I was a kid and yes, it still is in the same condition when it was first given to me. No, it's not that I am not using it. The quality is just great. My parents bought me a "Swiss Champ" for around $50 US dollars in Puerto Rico more than 10 years ago (1997). I still use it and find it very handy. Another worthy tool to buy!

5. First aid kit
First aid kit
It's not that you are accident prone. This is just getting ready for everything yo wouldn't want to happen. Whether you are over 40 or not, you might find this very useful.

6. Protective gear
I know I am being crazily paranoid right now but, in the future, you can surely use the gas masks to prevent breathing in the air pollution in the air, a rain boots to prevent stepping on polluted water on the streets, Goggles to protect your eyes from the unidentified flying particles in the air and a whole body gear just like what the bomb squad wears to protect you from possible harm from exploding you-don't-know-whats, if you don't mind looking like this though:
bomb squad attire

7. Underground place
ungerground bunker home
Yep, this would be the ultimate gift to receive this Christmas. An underground home!!! How cool is that!? You would be protected from Nuclear blasts, typhoons, tornadoes and other catastrophes. Just make sure that you water seal every possible hole and your water pump would be fool-proof or else you might drown.

8. Last but not the least (but the most recommended) The Holy Bible.
The Holy Bible
This would be the most worthy investment of all. This can save you, you can get salvation from here and the best part is, you can get all that if you accept Jesus Christ as your personal saviour. This book is also a problem solver, you can get life-changing quotations and this book will show you that there is hope.

Well, Christmas is around the corner but it's still not too late to buy these gifts to give this Christmas!

God Bless you and your family!
