Turon and Puff Rice for Our Merienda 😊❤

Hello everyone!

Hope all are safe and well! 😊❤🙏

These days, being at home 24/7 makes me realize one thing that we are always thinking about food! 😅 It feels like every hour, someone is asking, What are we going to eat? And now that it’s summer, the kids are also at home all the time, which makes it even more fun and a bit more challenging too! 🤣

They get hungry so often, and as someone who enjoys taking care of the family, I always try my best to prepare something simple but satisfying for them. It doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated. Sometimes, the simplest snacks bring the biggest smiles. 😊❤

So for our merienda today, I decided to cook turon and prepare puff rice. Just thinking about it already made me excited because I know the kids will love it.❤😊

I started with the turon. It's one of our favorite Filipino snacks. Wrapping the bananas, adding sugar, and frying them until golden brown is something I really enjoy doing. The smell while frying is just so tempting! It fills the whole house and makes everyone curious about what’s cooking in the kitchen. 😊

After finishing the turon, I happily prepared the puff rice to complete our snacks. 😊❤

While preparing everything, I could already see the kids peeking and waiting. That excitement on their faces is something that makes all the effort worth it. Simple moments like this remind me that love can be shown in the smallest ways like preparing food for the people you care about. 😊❤

After everything was ready, we all gathered and enjoyed our snacks together. The turon turned out crispy and sweet, just the way we like it, and the puff rice was a perfect partner for it. Seeing everyone happy and satisfied made my heart full. 😊❤

The kids really loved it and not just the kids, but also the young at heart like us! 😊 Moments like this are simple, but they bring so much joy and laughter into our home. 😊❤

Being at home all the time may sometimes feel tiring, especially when you keep thinking about what to cook next. But at the end of the day, these little routines become memories. One day, we will look back and miss these simple afternoons filled with food, laughter, and togetherness. 😊❤

I am truly grateful for these moments. No matter how simple life may seem, there is always something to be thankful for like a full stomach, a happy family, and another day to share love. 😊❤🙏

Have a Blessed Tuesday everyone! 😀😀😀💖💖💖

Thank You Lord for the blessings and love!

Be grateful in every little/simple things and you’ll find happiness you ever wanted! 😀😀😀

Everyday is worth to be grateful of!

Praying for the safety and wellness of all.

Heal Our Land Oh God!
