What else can you do with cheese spreads? #CheezWhizCheeseventions

What else can you do with cheese spreads? #CheezWhizCheeseventions
By : Omni A. Larrosa, #TheClingyFam

One great challenge of a mom is preparing a meal that will surely be enjoyed by her kids. Preparing snacks for children is not so easy as 1, 2 and 3. Sometimes, it could feel like you are an underdog contender in a cooking competition similar to Master Chef where your judges are no less than your kids. You think of a lot of ways to make sure that what you present to them is a winning entry. First, you choose the best ingredients that you think will satisfy their taste buds, and also healthy at the same time. Next, you try to be more creative in your plating using ordinary plates or bowls at home because eyes eat first. And finally, you put the biggest smile on your face while calling each of your kids' names and afterwards, you shout "Merienda Time!".

Then, after all these preparations, they end up not liking the food you prepared. Isn't that frustrating? Otherwise, if they liked it, the struggle does not end there because the next day, you gotta think of something new to prepare, or your next enemy would be taste fatigue.

Not so many moms have the knowledge on different herbs, spices or other ingredients that can put a twist to a regular meal or snack. Also, there are thousands of other things that a parent thinks about which are equally important to his child's nutrition.

So how do we resolve this? There are many possible answers. But for a mom like me who has so little knowledge about cooking, I would mostly think of how to use existing resources in our shelves or just prepare those that are already proven and approved by my kids- like bread and cheese.

Our kids love bread and cheese so much! I guess they got that from us. So, we always have bread loaf and cheese palaman like Cheez Whiz or Eden Cheese inside our ref. These are also part of the default items in our grocery list. The challenge now is how to make this simple meal more exciting.

This is why we feel so privileged to be invited to the launch of Cheez Whiz' #CheezWhizCheeseventions campaign last May 8, 2018. Cheez Whiz, the number one cheese spread in the country, has been spreading goodness during snack time for over 50 years. What makes it the leading cheese spread in the county is its thickness and amazing cheesy flavor.

We were coached by Chef DJ Santos on how to make simple yet tasteful Cheeseventions using our well-loved Cheez Whiz to make snack time more enjoyable and innovative.
Chef DJ Santos shared how to make different cheeseventions during the Cheez Whiz campaign launch.

Leading the pack of moms and kids who attended the event are celebrity mom and daughter Bettinna and Gummy Carlos.

Cheez Whiz' thickness is an explosion of flavor that goes with everything. Cheez Whiz is not only for making Creamy Cheesy Sandwiches but for creating different “Cheeseventions” snacks as well.  Kids of all ages can enjoy creating and mixing Cheez Whiz with other ingredients. Its two amazing flavors Original and Pimiento can drive kid’s imagination to create snacks! Make a sandwich tower! Cheez Whiz Mac and Cheese!  Use Cheez Whiz as a dip! The possibilities are endless! 

Most moms know that it’s important to help develop kids’ creativity. Being creative does not only mean they will be good in doing art, it also helps develop them mentally, socially and emotionally. It is every mom's important role to foster creativity in their child in every way they can.  What is a better idea to foster creativity than to let them create their everyday snacks? Here’s one example moms and kids can create:


Solar Cheestem:
A delicious snack that’s out of this world!

Ingredients:
* Cupcakes
* Cheez Whiz 220g
* Planet toppers

Procedure:
1.       Spread thick Cheez Whiz on top of the cupcakes.
2.       Lay out the Solar System placemat on the table.
3.       Place a cupcake on each planet outline.
4.       Stick the toppers into the cupcakes.

How to shop without overspending? | What we got from Baby Company's #CrazyBabySale Omni A. Larrosa - #TheClingyFam When you become a parent, one of the things that excite you the most is being able to catch great deals for baby products. Since we are no longer first time parents, there are plenty of lessons we have already learned and applied in order to make sure that we shop right. Of course, buying things on SALE is the best way to go but getting something on sale should not be the only goal. We  gotta make sure we maximize the SALE offerings by buying ONLY what we need at a price lower than what we used to spend.  Here are some of the things we apply in making sure we get the most out of shopping-at-SALE-prices: Research in Advance. Check out participating merchants. In this day and age, SALE offerings are usually announced via Instagram or Facebook so we can all be given a heads up on which brands are participating and what...

BABYZEN YOYO+ Stroller - Detailed Review and Scorecard on its Features and Benefits

BABYZEN YOYO+ Stroller - Detailed Review and Scorecard on its Features and Benefits #TheClingyFam A few months back, we almost lost Zela, our 3-year-old daughter in Bonifacio Highstreet while she was playing. It took 20 minutes before we were able to find her, and that has been the longest 20 minutes of our life and for me, life's biggest lesson. I cannot afford to lose any of our children again even for a second. So immediately, I started finding ways ( like acquiring child-tracking devices)  to make sure we will be more on-guard whenever we are outdoors. A friend of ours recommended that we carry a stroller all the time so that we can prevent Zela from going around when we are attending to her brother Zed (6mos old) or big sister Zia (5). Problem is, our current stroller is too bulky and carrying it sometimes becomes an inconvenience. We have seen the Baby Zen Yoyo+ stroller in some of Iya Villania's IG posts before and got excited about it. Imagine, it is one of the mos...

Preparing for Baby Zed’s first solid food plus Baby Company Haul

Preparing for Baby Zed’s first solid food plus Baby Company Haul Omni A. Larrosa - JULY 9, 2018 One of a parent’s most exciting moments is feeding solids to his baby for the first time. I can still remember how Zia reacted on her first taste of mashed papaya over 5 years ago, in the same way, I still can recall Zela giggling when she first tasted mashed potato 3 years ago. Thank God for technology that allowed me to record these moments on photo and video and some of these are even posted on my IG account : @omniamisolarrosa . In a few days, our third child, Zed will be turning 6 months old and once again, Bryce and I are very, very, very excited to witness it and capture it on the vlog! Can’t wait to see and share our baby’s expression as he gets introduced to his first solid food. So as we wait for this moment, we made a rundown of items that we believe are necessary in feeding solids to our baby... READ MORE
