Our own Fresh Produce

We have been trying to grow our own produce for quite some time now.  Our yaya and I started by planting some hot and sweet peppers.  However, that failed as we picked the wrong place to plant them in.  Most of the plants "drowned" and died.  We were able to save a few and have them transplanted in small pots.  We also tried planting onions and garlic but to no avail.  I think the soil we have does not agree with these plants.  I also have a basil herb that needs to be replanted.

However, we did have some successful endeavors.  Our tomato plant is finally bearing fruit!!!

Organic and Pesticide-free Tomato!!!

That is just one of the several bunches of fruit that we have.  There is really something fulfilling about growing your own produce.  Hopefully, we will be blessed with more!  I am already planning to transform our small garden into a place where we can really plant more vegetables and fruits.  There is still so much to do but I know we will be rewarded =)

Giveaway!

I was browsing my twitter account when I saw the link to the blog giveaway of Chronicles of a Nursing Mom.  I knew that this would be good, so I immediately clicked on the link and was happy to find that the giveaway was food related.  Not only that, the goodies that she was giving away was something that I would be needing in 2 months!  I know its quite early for me to be hoarding this kind of stuff but hey, it pays to be prepared. I can keep them in the freezer for the meantime while waiting for the right time to eat it.  That is if I can stop myself. Hahahaha...

The malunggay cookies look really interesting and good to eat!  I was able to taste some malunggay cookies given by my relatives from Zamboanga but the taste did not appeal to me.  Weird is the only description I have of the its taste plus the fact that it did not look appealing at all! Compared to these cookies, I know that this will be something that I would really appreciate.

Happy New Year!

This may be a bit late but still, I wish to greet everyone a happy new year!!!! May the year 2012 bring us more blessings, happiness and peace of mind always.

The picture posted above was taken in Cebu since Davao has a city-wide firecracker and fireworks ban.  We celebrated the coming of the year by honking the car's horns and the kiddos shouting "happy new year" to the passers-by.
