April 1, Easter Sunday, probably one of the days when traveling or taking a cab from our place to Kalayaan Ave., in Makati was a breeze.

Buddha Bar was kind enough to invite us to their Easter event where families with kids gathered to savor a buffet spread made only for that day and made sure the place was welcoming enough for the kids.

What if I say it's now possible. Well, it has been since the launching of Torayvino in the market two years ago, many homes have been given safe water from their own faucet.
Long, long time ago, after attending an event near E. Rod., I came across this cute coffee shop as I waiting for a cab ride. It was on a rush hour so I had to just ask my husband to pick me up as it was hard to get a ride. As I was waiting for him, I took shelter at this cute coffee shop, with a Biblical verse as if trying to invite me in.

Some of us have a primal urge to get back to our roots and learn how to become more self-sufficient. Others are content to go to the grocery store and purchase fruits, vegetables, and other unhealthy processed foods at the checkout line. Still, others want to be able to take the seeds that create life, plant them into the ground, and ultimately have a harvest of great tasting fruits and veggies that they can eat all year long and share with family and friends.
I always, always make time to do some research in the kitchen, removing guilt whenever I feed something delightful to my family. It's really hard to get focused and staying up tuned to healthy living especially when you have a diabetic in the family.
