As part of
trying to live a holistic and minimalistic life, I for one ought to dine at
home with the fambam as much as possible.
For one, it’s
cheaper. We may have to exert more effort in planning the meals – grocery, dish
to cook and how to properly cook it but we save more. What? An extra cup of
rice usually cost almost a kilo of it in the market, and an upgrade where you
already paid for your drink but you want to change it from soda to a juice
drink (pineapple or iced tea) is equal to almost two sachet of powdered juice
(that’s 2 litters of drink!)
For those
who can’t say no to a group bundle or family deal promo or if you are just a big
eater like me, it will trim down your options and hence, have to fight fewer
temptations. You can’t suddenly crave for something that’s not in the table.
Have you
ever ordered something from a restaurant, took a bite and realize it’s not
fresh anymore? Well, if you dine at home more, you’ll be surprise on how good
you are at knowing FIFO (first in, first out) in your fridge. You’ll always
know what’s actually in your plate and the freshness of the ingredients.
Now that we
are cooking more at home, we opt for healthier choices. Lesser salt, more
vegetables like kangkong, kamote tops, okra, eggplant – all boiled without a
single drop of oil. For sauces, freshly squeezed calamansi will do. I learned
that although you don’t drink too much, our livers can still be fatty due to
excess consumption of oil from fried street food and fast food chains.
Cooking at
home makes us “cultured”. Aside from the typical Filipino dishes like adobo,
sinigang and tinola, our dishes widen out because someone from the family
learned how to cook sisig tofu, Japanese ramen, Korean kimchi, Russian grokis
chicken and not to mention, baking!
The best
part of dining in at home, it means more meaningful time with the family – from
a stop to the local market, catch up while slicing ingredients, to cooking,
setting the table, to finally praying together before devouring a scrumptious
meal!
This flatlay setup was inspired by mom's favorite color, green!

out, people nowadays, took photos first. Well, you can also do a flatlay of
your proudly homemade dish and feel the aura of fine dining with Omega
