Featured in 26 Random Acts of Kindness


Garden Chef was featured in 26 Random Acts of Kindness - Blogger Style  by 4 You With Love last month! Sorry if this came late. I prepared this last month but the holiday activities prevented me from finishing the post :(

4 You With Love blogged about the tragedy that happened at Sandy Hook Elementary last month.  A gunman was able to take 26 lives in that one horrific act and so  she challenged herself to do 26 random acts of kindness in her December 21, 2012 post. She did this by going through the posts that have linked up at Link Party With a Cause and selected 26 blogs with fewer than 200 GFC followers (or Facebook if GFC was not listed).  Then, gave these bloggers the gift of following them.  So that's how Gardenchef's Retro Neck Band came to be featured in her blog (click here to view other featured blogs). 

Here's the Retro Neck Band featured in 26 Random Acts of Kindness - Blogger Style by 4 You With Love.

The original Retro Neck Band by Ann Linderhjelm


It was indeed a blessing to have participated in the link up of Link Party With a Cause because for every link in the party, the blog sponsors donated $1.00 to the bereaved families of Sandy Hook. There were 840 blogs linked up in the party. I was just so glad for having joined. It was great opportunity to share blessings to those in grief! May links for this cause be blessed all the more this coming year!

Pesto Spanish Sardines Pasta: A Remake

There's a saying that goes, "One is enough, two is too much..." Uh uhhh, not for this!!! I'm referring to the Spanish Sardines Pasta which was my welcome post this year. My daughter, Ayana Grace, bought a bottle of pesto from the grocery store last month (she usually does...we seldom run out of pesto sauce in our cupboard) and I just wasn't able to resist making another try of the Pesto Spanish Sardines Pasta so here it is...

Ensaladang Mustasa

It's back to work today, after five days of rest, something I've been looking forward to. As if the  long Christmas holiday vacation was not enough :) Well, days just seem to fly so fast! Thanks to the additional non-working holidays brought about by the Pope's visit to my country, the Philippines. I had time to relax, stay at home, bond with family and yes, sort picture files in my computer. In between social networking, of course, I cooked for my family. With my husband home, there has to be fish and vegetables on the dining table. There was a bunch of mustasa (mustard) leaves left in the vegetable bin. What could be a better and perfect partner to fried fish than Ensaladang Mustasa (Mustard Salad)? Very simple and easy, here's how I did it. Ingredients: 1 bunch of mustasa leaves Rock salt 2 medium-sized tomatoes, sliced 1 small onion, sliced thinly 3 tbsps vinegar Iodized salt, ground pepper and sugar to taste Steps: 1. Cut mus

Ensaladang Alugbati (Malabar Spinach Salad)

This post appeared in my Facebook memories today. I'm glad it did! I featured this salad in my FB page a year ago.  Alugbati  (Malabar Spinach)  Salad (Ensaladang Alugbati). This came up when I received for the first time this bouquet of alugbati from Erik, my officemate. He shares with us fruits and veggies fresh from his garden.
