It's almost back to school time! - featuring Yumbox Lunch Box

One of the challenges I face during school days is the kids' baon. Specially with my five year old  picky eater Miguel. He would always end-up coming home na madaming tirang baon. 

Sa 12 year old ko, wala akong problema. Nasa stage na sya na kinocontrol na rin ang food intake dahil masyado ng bumibilog ang katawan hehehe.

As I was browsing the internet searching for ideas how I can convince my youngest child to finish his lunch at school, I came across a cute idea of doing it bento style. 

I found a very cool product which is called Yumbox. It has a removable pre-portioned tray and is leakproof. Thanks to its silicone lid, I can include dips or sauces for his baon. 

The cooler part is I found someone locally selling them and can also personalize it at an extra cost. 

Since Spider-Man Homecoming just came out of the cinemas, my son has been raving about it everyday so I chose Spider-Man as a theme for his Yumbox. 

He will be in Year 1 this coming school year and I thought a Panino size would be ideal for him. It has 4 compartments, A big one where I can put rice or pasta, 2 smaller ones to put the ulam, biscuits or fruits and a small round compartment for dips, smaller fruits or even wafer sticks.

It only took about a week for my order to arrive and I was so excited to see what my son's reaction would be kapag nakita nya yung surprise namin sa kanya.   

He loved it! Priceless reaction - nawala na naman ang mga mata
I know it will be time-consuming pagprepare pa lang ng baon ni bunso pero I am excited to do it as long as there would be a positive result, hopefully.

I will post some lunchbox ideas on my instagram to show them to you kapag pasukan na ng mga bagets.

 I know it is not difficult to find a Yumbox in the Philippines or basically any similar product. It really doesn't have to be the same brand. Here in Dubai, there are few websites that sell them and they have it in Virgin Megastore too.

Beef Mechado with Fresh Tomatoes

Image
This has been one of my husband's favorite dishes that I cook for them. Everytime I would ask him what ulam does he want me to cook, he would always say Mechado. Most Beef Mechado recipes I found online include tomato sauce, but for this version (the version I grew up eating), I use fresh tomatoes.  It is also very simple to cook yet super yummy. It only takes time to tenderize the beef. Ingredients:  1 kg of beef, cut into big cubes (I prefer spare ribs) 1/4 cup of soy sauce 4-5 big tomatoes, cut into cubes 1 red onion, sliced 3 cloves garlic, minced salt & ground pepper 2 medium potatoes, cut into big cubes 1 medium carrot, cut into 1 inch pieces 1 bell pepper, cut into big cubes (optional) or 2 pcs siling pansigang Directions: 1. In a pan, put the first 6 ingredients all together. Put water enough to cover the beef. Cover and simmer for about 1 1/2 hours or until the beef is fork tender. Skim off as much scum as you can.
