Like I said last week, I adjusted my baon plan posting by a week because we had almost a whole week without school thanks to the crazy storm that was #GlendaPH. If you follow me on Instagram, you will have seen that our place was a cross between Jumanji and Jurassic Park, sans the large animals.
Thankfully, apart from having no water for 2 days and no power for 4 days, we were all okay, safe and dry at home. Our only casualty was the rear windshield of my dad’s trusty old Nissan Vanette, which had an acacia tree fall on top of it, breaking the glass. I’ll let the pictures do the talking.


This Week’s Featured Recipes and Baon Plan
After the storm, life got really busy for me with back to back projects and work galore. And of course this is great, but it also means that I’ve had less time to prepare meals. This baon plan is perfect for hectic or busy days, because it requires very little thinking and not a lot of effort either.
I have three featured recipes this week. One is a Honey Balsamic Pork Chop recipe that’s actually my Glazed Tuna Recipe but with pork chops instead of tuna steaks. There’s also a Beef Tapa Recipe that my cousin shared with me, based on my grandmother’s tapa. This is a dry kind of tapa, sort of like a jerky. The last featured recipe is for Longganisa, which I got from Market Manila. I cook this giniling style so that I end up with crispy, garlicky bits.

Promise to share another baon plan in a couple of weeks, and hopefully a new recipe before then. Here’s to an awesome August for all of us!
i will refer my wife to this post and hope she would be inspired to cook instead of buying all our kids baon
I hope that she finds the baon plan easy to follow. 🙂
Great baon plan. Moms should really have a baon plan to make sure that their kids are eating healthy foods and also to make sure that the baon is not “paulit-ulit” which makes it nakakasawa to kids.
I super agree. My mom actually told me to have 3 weekly plans to cycle. Eh parang paulit-ulit din. So I try to experiment often, para may new options in between old favorites.
What a perfect baon plan! I hope classes will be return in your place.
Thanks so much! Yes, classes are back on, in spite of the rain.
It’s nice to have a baon plan ahead and this should give you room to add variety and healthy foods in the baon.
I agree.I try to always include either fruits, veggies or both in the lunchbox.
Grabe talaga what happened to you guys there in Alabang. Let’s just hope and pray na lang that something like this won’t ever happen again.
Hay, you said it! Buti talaga hindi nahulugan ng tree ang aking car!
Those falling pictures are really scary..thank god you’re safe.
Yes, thank God. Thanks for the concern!
That’s really look – I have to check them out on Market Manila too.
There are nice recipes on Market Manila
Basically a modern way to have this meal for children and adults too.
Yup, I works for both kids and adults.
Wow, the falling trees….scary stuff.
It was really scary with the wind and rain!
