Carnation Mary’s Kitchen Season Two

Finally got home from the heavy downpour of rain at Makati. I was so eager to go home after the event even that I will be soaking well all-over.

I just attended the launching of Carnation Mary’s Kitchen that is a cooking-serye highlighting using Carnation products. Mary is a newly married homemaker and she will be cooking delicious new dishes for her husband Mark. With the help of her lovable Mother-In-Law Carrie will give her tips in to be a homemaker.

I love to cook especially for my kids and they all appreciate my dishes. With Carnation Mary’s Kitchen I can get some new recipes and tips I can do in my cooking adventure.

 

Here are some of the dishes what we had cooked up during the event.
