Are You M3 Ready?
by Cheryl Villareal on Sep 4th, 2012
Cooking can be so much fun for most people, but for the busy parent, cooking can be really tiring. Though I personally am not yet a mom, I’ve tried cooking after spending an entire day at work and it isn’t an easy task! Besides cooking the rice, you still have to prepare the viand (ulam)., plus there’s defrosting, marinating, etc. It’s just plain tiring and very time consuming. M3 to the rescue So moms… and dads… and b...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

Rainbows in my Tummy! Yummy Rainbow Pancakes!
by Cheryl Villareal on Mar 14th, 2012
When cooking, one of the things chefs/cooks need to give importance to is the ay the food will be presented. I am always amazed at how they're able to design and create food in the most unique and mouth-watering ways! Well, I'm no chef... but I AM a preschool teacher! We preschool teachers might not be able to prepare food in a classy and sophisticated way, but we can get as artistic as we can!... and in my case a little messy! haha ...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

by Cheryl Villareal on Jan 15th, 2011
Ever tried letting kids eat their vegetables? Talk about a challenge! I used to trick my kids into eating their veggies by cutting it really small and covering it with lots of rice before feeding them! Just a small peak of the color green on their spoon would be chaotic! ...still, it doesn't hurt to try, and we did just that! We tried to let our kids eat their healthy vegetables by having a vegetable salad making activity in class! They had a ...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

Warm Up with Some Stone Soup
by Cheryl Villareal on Jan 9th, 2011
Ever heard of the story Stone Soup? I hear there are different versions of it, but I've only heard a few. My favorite version would be that by Ann McGovern because it simple depicts a young man outwitting the older woman. It does not really show that anyone was being boastful or mean. Warm up this winter season with a bowl of stone stoup! Several kids enjoy this story. Some would really think that it was magic that turned the stone into soup,...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

Edible Slime for Halloween
by Cheryl Villareal on Oct 22nd, 2010
Halloween just wouldn't be complete without SLIME! I couldn't miss out on this opportunity! For the past two weeks, my tutee has been begging me to make slime! I think her curiosity started because of Nickelodeon and all the slime they use! So anyway, I figured I'll just have her make goo since it was something I was already familiar with. However, after browsing the internet for more fun activities, I came across a recipe for edible slime... ...Read More » Tags Share Comments (2 )
