For me, Cooking is what art or music is to others. It’s a creative and relaxing outlet that lets me release emotions, thoughts, and some of my creative juice. It lets me express myself and my love for the people around me.
Purefoods Blue Line recently invited me for an #IHeartArt activity at Sip and Gogh, a paint and sip studio, in Kapitolyo for a painting session. I have never painted in my whole life except for some watercolor in bond paper for my daughter’s project or our “at-home-painting”sessions. So this activity was both overwhelming and exciting at the same time.
Before the painting session started was wine and snacks made with the Purefoods Blue Line products….
Chorizo Cups | Corned Beef Chili Garlic Quesadilla | Luncheon Meat Chili Cheese Spring Rolls
Luncheon Meat with Grilled Pineapple | Corned Beef Potato Cakes | Cheesy Vienna Dumplings
All were delicious and very creatively made. I hadn’t imagined that you can make dumplings out of Purefoods Vienna Sausage nor can you use Purefoods Luncheon Meat for the dynamite roll. And the Chorizo Cups was my favorite! I couldn’t help but be inspired by these wonderful pica-pica in front of me.
I took a short tour around and already felt nostalgic seeing the different Purefoods products that make up the Purefoods Blue Line. Purefoods always reminds me of home.
- Purefoods Corned Beef Classic
- Purefoods Corned Beef Chili Garlic
- Purefoods Corned Beef Hash
- Purefoods Luncheon Meat
- Purefoods Vienna Sausage
- Purefoods Chorizo Bilbao
- Purefoods Liver Spread
My family loves Purefoods Corned Beef, Purefoods Luncheon Meat, Purefoods Chorizo, and Purefoods Vienna Sausage.
When the painting session began and I started brushing paint on the canvas, I couldn’t help but smile. There was a fleeting moment of nostalgia. Purefoods has always been a part of home, especially the Corned Beef. CornSiLog is one of our favorite breakfast and because of that, it’s one of the meals that Ykaie (my firstborn) wanted to learn how to cook.
I remembered teaching her how to cook fried rice and how to sauté Purefoods Corned Beef just the way we like it. Sautéing Purefoods Corned Beef with garlic and onions, then adding fried potatoes and a bit of water to make it more saucy just makes it the perfect breakfast — and meal of all time for that matter!
It’s always nice having Ykaie in the kitchen and knowing she’s also interested in cooking. It’s a bit chaotic when she’s there but it’s also fun. As a matter of fact, cooking has become one of our bonding activities.
The biggest surprise of the day is when Heart Evangelista graced the painting session. She’s known to be really good at painting and now, I’ve come to know that she’s accommodating and super friendly too. I became an instant fan of her during that event.
Tadah! Here’s my finished artwork. I didn’t know I could paint pala! I just need to join more painting sessions, be inspired, and of course, have the Purefoods Blue Line products to keep the inspiration going….

Now I want to take a painting class! How fun. Your painting turned out really nice. I would have been overwhelmed too! I need to know how to make dumplings from Vienna sausage, that sounds interesting. I grew up eating Vienna sausage.
This is my kind of event, both food and art! Looks like you had a fantastic time with some delicious food!
My dad used to eat Vienna sausages for lunch every day with saltines. These are some cool ways to elevate it and that art is cool too.
Your artwork came out so beautiful! You should definitely display that somewhere- it’s so gorgeous. I love drawing and painting- I want to make something like this.
I love how your painting turned out! You are really talented! Sounds like a fun time, too 🙂
Such a beautiful picture you did! I love how certain foods do bring back memories. Club crackers remind me of being a little girl at my grandma’s house. She kept them in a skinny cupboard by her stove and every time we visited, my sisters and I would have some! I don’t think I’ve seen this brand before so maybe it isn’t around here.
Painting classes are always so much fun but I haven’t been in ages. Plus with all the wine and snacks – how could it not be a good time.
The food looks yummy! And how much fun is the painting! Looks like you had a good time and your painting is awesome!
You did an amazing job! My kids and I love painting, my son spend hours per day with his crayons.
Wow! I love these paintings. You did such a nice job. All the food looks pretty amazing too!
It looks like you had a blast at the painting class and I know it can be very relaxing. I think you did a great job on your artwork.. When I was younger my hobby was painting. I have not painted in a few years so I am rusty. PureFoods looks like they have great products and I would love to try a few of them. Thanks for sharing your artwork.
We are huge art lovers in this household, I love the photo you created and that shade of blue is heaven! I really will have to look into taking more painting classes, they look like fun!
Well this certainly looks like it was a ton of fun! I have to say those Chorizo Cups most definitely caught my eye!!!
I have always wanted to take a painting class. That looks like a lot of fun!
I wish I had the painting gene in my body. Looks like you had a lot of fun!
this looks so fun and your painting came out great! there are a couple of places that do painting classes near me and i’ve always wanted to go!
Oh wow, your art is really special and pretty. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of or used PureFoods before but now that I’m aware of them, I’ll look for something we’d enjoy.
what a great event, good food and art : ) how lucky are you? very! I love the artwork by the way, keep up the good work!
Thanks Eloise!
