Why You Should Try S&R’s New Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza
Our family’s default pizza take-outs is S&R Pizza. We like S&R Pizzas because they are “sulit!” At only P549 – P599 per gigantic 18-inch pizza, it’s less expensive than other pizzas, and they don’t scrimp on the toppings! Do you even wonder why there are always long lines for the S&R pizza at their stores?…

How I Replicate the High-End Steak Experience at Home
How did you celebrate Valentine’s day last weekend? We just stayed in but had a very special family dinner at home.

Super Easy Turmeric Rice – Easy Way to Get Your Anti-oxidants!
I have been reading a lot about turmeric lately. Not on purpose. But I sometimes stumble upon articles touting its health benefits.

We’re Going to Stop Using Canola Oil
We were cruising the supermarkets last weekend when I saw that Canola oil was on sale. I’ve heard mixed things about canola oil – some say it’s healthy and good for you, some say it’s bad for you. If you read my blog, it’s obvious that I’m not a health nut and I’m not overly…

Guevarra’s Lunch Buffet Review – Very Good for only P399!
I had always passed by Guevarra’s on my way to Greenhills. The charming house turned into a restaurant (I would always crane my neck to get a view inside the gate as our car passed by) has always piqued my curiosity, and the cars parked outside showing that parking was overflowing made the restaurant even more intriguing.…
