I’ve mentioned a few posts back about Mrs. Royal Domesticity who is a true believer of making food prep fun and interesting. This is for her daughter who also loves food as much as she does! So I thought I’d talk about my own journey more and see how it progresses throughout my journey!

Ever since the #BaonSerye photos became viral on Facebook, Mrs. Royal Domesticity instantly became the millenial mum everyone wants to have.

I idolise the way she makes simple things into something amazing, which is what this blog is all about. I go by simplicity of everything and easycooked meals is what I’ve always aimed for. By watching food comps on tv, I know for sure that chefs and foodies love instagram-worthy dishes that not only feed the stomach, but also the eyes. And this is what Royal Dosmesticity specialises in and it inspires me to be like that as well.

I know this is the second post about baon prep but I just want to point out that being an adult in this world is tougher than it actually is and so my baon preps have now been a weekly thing because adult life has taken over me. I find it therapeutic knowing that for the rest of the week, I have food ready to be packed! And I’d love to share this experience to you all

This is my third week and every week, I pack 2-3 meals that would cater for a few days. I try not to prep more than 4 because I’m scared of food going bad.

I’m so thankful for the great resources and fresh produce Australia has! Couple this with variations of different recipes and extra healthy and delicious sides and desserts, baon-making or ready-to-eat meals shouldn’t be boring after all!

What’s your favourite food to pack for lunch?

I recently came across a photo set on Facebook of food bento boxes of a woman whose passion is to share her food prep for her daughter, Sophia. It got me so excited and now I want to share my own version of my bento box for today! It's not really a bento box as I have nothing there other than my usual savoury stuff and rice but it's an amazing challenge I would like take part of! Royal Domesticity, a blog associated with the kiddie bento boxes is a blog about being a hands-on millenial mum in today's fast-paced millenial world. Thank you to the author of Royal Domesticy for bringing us excitement into preparing food for work/school. We tend to forget the beauty of home-made cooking and its impact in self-satisfaction. In our world today, we heavily rely on cooked meals on-the-go but we never fill our tummies as we are constantly rushing. We usually forget to appreciate the beauty of home-cooked meals and the enjoyment it comes after eating it. Here's an appreciation post for all cooks out there who enjoy packing food and would dedicate their daily lives creating amazing bento/lunch boxes for their families :) • Afritada cooked by my husband (originally cooked Wednesday night and brought to work the next day) • TimTam Bisquits • Orange Juice Looking forward to more **Baons in the future! **food prepared to bring to work/schook

Menudo

Menudo is one of the Filipino dishes I first learned to cook. It’s simple and the ingredients are affordable. All you need are your staples and BAM, you’ve got a dinner that everyone will surely love!

I decided to make a video of how I make my Menudo.

Usually, I have more ingredients than what I have available on my video, but the purpose of this video is to show you fellow foodies that you can make an amazing meal with just 3-5 ingredients. This is what #TheLazyCookDiaries is about anyway, easy meals for the lazy cooks!

Traditionally, Filipino Menudo is always accompanied by Jasmine/White rice, but more and more people are incorporating this dish as a sauce base for pies, sandwiches and even… PASTA!

You may add Frankfurts, green peas, raisins, liver pate and…. SPRITE (yep, you’ve read that right)… if you want the usual Menudo taste from Filipino parties but this will do the trick.

Don’t forget to season accordingly!

Enjoy!
