“I have two absolutely amazing boys. They are still little, sweet and innocent. So it depends on their moods. It’s not always easy but I think patience is the only key when it comes to disciplining your children”, Alma “Chen” Balasico-Begonia uttered when asked about her parenting technique.

Chen, as we fondly call her, has always been the calm-spoken, sweet and likeable person as she is way back elementary and high school days. Seeing her in Facebook was a delight knowing especially that she’s still the same Chen we have known for years.

Although cooking has been Chen’s love since she was 16 years old, she got better and developed a passion in cooking when she became a mother and reside in New Jersey. She is a doting mother to Gabe and Caleb, and a loving and caring wife to husband Timmy.

Having an eye for artistic details in food presentation, Chen has always been an effective teaser when presenting her food creation. No wonder why all of us, her friends, are eager to get a copy of her recipes from her Facebook page.

I am so proud to welcome Chen as the newest addition to our group of moms in Lovely Moms Cafe. LMC regular visitors will surely be hooked to her indulging recipes making LMC more fun, not only for moms but for the whole family.
