I always say this: when you’re a mom, you’re automatically a chef. 😂 From whipping up school baon to preparing Sunday lunch, we spend so much time in the kitchen that sometimes it feels like our second home. But what if I told you that your cooking skills can actually earn you extra income?
If you enjoy being in the kitchen (or at least don’t mind it), here are some fun side hustles that make use of your love for food:
- Sell Frozen Meals or Ulam Packs – perfect for busy families who don’t have time to cook.
- Bake & Sell – cookies, cupcakes, banana bread—homebaked treats never go out of style.
- Packed Lunches for Office Workers – offer affordable, healthy baon options.
- Recipe E-books – share your go-to meals, sell them digitally (no need for printing).
- Cooking Tutorials on TikTok/YouTube – easy 15-sec recipes or “baon hacks.”
- Custom Grazing Boxes or Snack Platters – great for celebrations or gifts.
- Specialty Food Jars – like garlic chili oil, peanut butter, or atchara.
- Food Blog with Affiliate Links – share recipes + earn from ads and affiliate sales.
- Meal Planning Services – create weekly menus with grocery lists for busy moms.
- Sell Your Secret Sauce or Marinade – literally bottle your flavor and share it.
👉The best thing about these side hustles is that they don’t feel like extra work — lalo na kung mahilig ka talaga magluto. You’re already doing what you love, and now you can earn from it too.
Who knows? Your humble adobo might just be the next best-seller in your neighborhood. 😉🍳
