Ross loves cheese on his sandwiches but sometimes he is complaining, "'Ma, sawa na ako sa cheese. Wala bang ibang choice?" I would stare at him and say, "Parang ikaw naman yata ang may gusto lagi ng cheese." Then he will reply, "Oo nga ano, sige na nga po, cheese na lang!"
My eyes popped when I saw the article "5 Quick Homemade Spreads" by Tina Diaz on Working Mom Magazine June 2014 issue. The ingredients of the said homemade spreads cater to kids. Para maiba naman. Ross will love these for sure.
