For the longest time, I've only had one consistent love –and that is my love for good food. Let me eat at a later time, or don’t let me eat at all, if what I’m going to eat is less than any food I would categorize as “good”. Maybe it has something to do with growing up to both of my grandmothers’ cooking, or my father’s love affair with sensational food items and dishes at home, but nevertheless I guess the madness is hereditary, if not learned through time.
That is why in the company of delicious food I am reminded of how blessed I am to enjoy such a simple luxury, and I send a silent prayer to the farmers, the market vendors, and the like, for their hard work. For as simple it is to enjoy a good meal, it is not that easy to gather all the perfect ingredients you need to create one.
But my world was turned upside-down when my family and I discovered the goodness of Clara Ole’s food products. Prior to attending their event at Mercato, I never really noticed that my family and I have been using Clara Ole products for quite some time now for our pastas, fried rice, and on our toasted bread.
In this ‘instant-everything’ age we live in today, at first it seemed like a tragic discovery to find out that the meals I’ve been having are all made in an instant, but then on second thought, I realized that it doesn’t really matter, because I’m still enjoying such good-quality dishes using good-quality products such as those by Clara Ole.
I love orange marmalade and blueberry jam on my toasted bread with butter, and you just really can’t go wrong with Clara Ole’s bottled jams and jellies for breakfast, or a late night snack.
Focus on having a good time with your friends and family rather than spending most of your time in your kitchen making the best dips and dressings for your appetizers and use Clara Ole’s. They’ve got so much variety, you wouldn’t have to worry about a thing other than enjoying the company of your loved ones, with all the good food you are able to serve.
Go crazy and jazz up your rice meals with flavored fried rice –Clara Ole’s got it all literally covered for you with their Ora Rice Mix variants. May it be for your Java rice, Japanese Fried rice, Paella rice, Bagoong rice, they’ve got more for you to enjoy. Add in your grilled beef, pork or poultry in all their marinated glory with Clara Ole’s marinades and you’ve got a heavenly meal prepared as easy as eating it.
Pastas are lonely without their sauces, so to create the perfect Italian dish for half the time and half your allotted budget for creating such, you have got to try your plate of pasta with a mix of Clara Ole’s Chunky Tomato with Three Cheese sauce and their Cheesy Pesto for just the right taste. Or try their simple spaghetti sauces with any of your favorite ingredients such as mushroom, onion and garlic, or bacon and cheese or for a more Asian menu, make your own Kung Pao pasta with Clara Ole’s Kung Pao sauce with grilled chicken.
I can attest to the wonders that Clara Ole’s pasta sauces are able to bring to our dining table, and I will not be surprised if you find more people in yours when you serve any of your Clara Ole’d dishes. Say delicious, say Clara Ole!
