I'm a food enthusiast. I love food. What you will read here are not the newest restaurants or the latest food trends. What you will find here are foods, recipes that I like, happen to eat, happen to love and would like to write about.
A self-confessed sweet tooth (choco-holic, Coke Addict and emotional eater), I'm trying to make healthier choices when it comes to eating, hence the name Salad Caper.
Read about my food trips, food loves {labs}, Tatak Pinoy foods and some occasional Food for Thought thrown in.
I hope you also join me in my weekly Q&As: Food Choices and Food For Thought.
Since Christmas is approaching, I know several friends who are going into crash diets – quick diets that work are all popular these days. Most are trying to lose weight so they can afford to gain some come the holiday season. Some are trying to lose a few pounds so they can look good in [...]
A friend badly wants the new Cuisinart for her kitchen. She just cannot justify the price even if she will be using it everyday to cook meals for her family for the next twenty years. Since she is a great cook, her husband surprised her with a set for her birthday from a cash advance [...]
I am proud to say I was able to breastfeed my youngest for ten months exclusively even while I was working outside at home full-time. I remember I would pump during lunch breaks and would store them at the office pantry. I drank lots of water, tried to rest as much as possible and read [...]
With Christmas only a few months away (70 days I think, exactly), I need to lose weight so I can afford to eat a little over the holidays. I am tempted to try the generic brand of phentermine to help me lose my appetite. I guess I need to start counting calories and hitting the [...]
We want to have wooden swing sets in our yard when we get our own home. I really would love to have a great backyard – with trees and plants. And even a lawn! So I guess we really need to save up so we can afford to buy a comparatively piece of land in [...]
A friend recently took up a healthier lifestyle and chose to do biking as a hobby. He usually bikes on terrains so he bought thule racks to put on top of his car so he can take his bike to different places. He even bought a new bike with the extra accessories. Of course, [...]
With new mattresses in our house, I have decided that I will be shopping for bed linens this Black Friday. The prices are just too hard to resist, knowing I can get them at least at 50% off – so I can buy more with the same price of one. I love matouk bed linens [...]
Sinusitis, rhinitis and other respiratory problems are such a pain in changing seasons. That is why when we were living in the city we were advised the kids’ pulmonologist to invest on a dehumidifier to help clean stuffy air in our house. It gets rids of pollutants and allergens too. We were not able to [...]
I absolutely love the cooler months. I just took out our clothes for cold season – sweaters, hoodies, scarves and caps. And I even bought for our family new ones since my kids have grown a foot in a year. I try to keep it under a few pieces since we only have a few [...]
Aside from Christmas shopping, the last few months of the year will be pocket draining as this is commonly the time to renew insurance policies – term life insurance, car insurance and health insurance. Thankfully, bonuses at work are usually given during these months so it won’t be as draining as we can expect it [...]
