Recharge School Kids’ Nutrition: The Powerful Potato to the Rescue!

I was at my nephew's school the other day to give a career talk to their upper class men. After my talk, I dropped by his classroom to say hi when I noticed that almost half of his classmates were absent. I was told that the kids were sick and that the weather must have taken its toll on their health. It was really concerning because it will be their exam week soon. 

This reminds me that with the kind of weather we have now, we should exert an extra effort in taking care of our family especially the kids. My sister is a nurse, so, she's very particular in teaching my nephew the precautionary measures to avoid getting sick. I on the other hand, is the chef in our family, hence, I am assigned to look after the nutritional needs of our household.

부대찌개 Budae Jjigae Recipe [How to Cook Korean Army Base Stew]

I am not the type to whine about the rain because I seriously love cold weather I could be a self-appointed ambassadress for rainy season. But the incessant rain these past few weeks made me realize that too much of anything is no fun at all. I often wondered when will it stop. Even the things we love can be tiring times, I reckon.

The only consolation is that I could make my favorite soups and stews without risking heat stroke in our kitchen. I once made beef bone broth in the middle of Summer it drove people in our house to ponder over all my other questionable choices in life. 

The other day I made one of my favorite Korean food, Budae Jjigae (부대찌개) popularly known as Korean Army Base Stew. 

GOJU Natural Fruit Infusion Juice Drinks

Do you love fruit juice? I do. I don’t drink soda so aside from water my default choice for drinks is almost always fruit juice. Recently, I was introduced to new brand of fruit juice innovated by Vida Nutriscience called GOJU Natural Fruit Infusion. GOJU is a word play on the phrase on-the-go juice drink which clearly describe what GOJU is all about – a deliciously healthy fruit juice you can have anytime, anywhere.

GOJU Natural Fruit Infusion showcases five different fruit juice concoction from Spain namely Mango Orange, Raspberry Lemonade, Lemonade, White Peach Passion Fruit, and Orange. I have tried all of the flavors and while I love each and one of them, the one that I ended up liking more is the Mango Orange because the combination of flavor is just spot on.
