FollowI have been wanting to try grilling breaded boneless chicken thighs for the longest time and finally tried them last week. I googled around to get an idea of how to prepare this dish and then adapted the recipes that I found online to my kids’ liking and to the availability of my ingredients. For…

Halloween-ify Your Photos
Just want to share with you a new photo function launched by Google Plus a few days ago. Halloween is coming up and you might not feel up to slathering your face with makeup, fake blood, and whatever else comes with Halloween costumes these days. Now you don’t have to because Google has a new…
Cheat Pizza With Wendy’s Fried Chicken
Hubs bought a box of Wendy’s fried chicken home on Sunday night. The RM10.99 for 6 pieces fried chicken is an on-going promotion at Wendy’s. But the girls and I had already eaten our dinner. So I refrigerated the fried chicken. The next day, I gave the fried chicken a make-over and dished up a…

First ABL Match For The Girls
After dinner with my parents last night, the hubby dragged everyone along to the MABA stadium to watch an ABL (Asean Basketball League) match between Malaysia Dragons and Vietnam. It was the girls and my parents’ first time watching a life basketball match. The hubs had on hand some VIP tickets, thus dragged everyone along.…
Crispy Beef Taco
Alycia had been bugging me to get some taco shells ever since she saw a taco recipe at her daddy’s Flavors magazine. Taco shells are not as common as pasta, spaghetti or tortilla chips where you can easily get them from mini marts and supermarkets. They can only be found at places like Jaya Grocer…
Holiday Mood
Someone is getting an overload of TV and all the i-gadgets since the Deepavali holiday started on Wednesday. For the weeks of studying hard, she deserves a good break now. After all, she did pretty well this time. If this was her actual UPSR exam, she and I would be the happiest persons on earth. …
Hidden Hints Game
A few days ago, another surprise awaited the girls at home. It was a box of mystery word game called Hidden Hints by Learning Resources. The girls’ angel had sent them another mystery gift woohoo! Since it was the last day of Alycia and Sherilyn’s final exam, they could start playing this game, yay!!…
Crock Pot Maple Dijon Chicken Drumsticks
I stumbled upon this recipe at skinnytaste.com while searching for some recipes to dish up. Chicken drumsticks cooked with maple syrup and dijon mustard in a crock pot seems pretty easy and delish. Best of all, not many ingredients are needed for this dish. I was excited and very eager to try out this dish,…
Our Sunday, 20 October 2014
My Sunday yesterday was no different from any weekday as I had to be up from bed at 5:30am. Alycia had to attend a team-building camp in school and had to be in school by 7:30am. Breakfast was pretty light and healthy. You can see from the picture below that we had sugar-free yoghurt, sweet…
Of Bushy Eyebrows and Light Eyebrows
I have always wished that I have thicker, more refined and more shapely eyebrows. My brows are very light in color (and sparse), as are my hair color (which is brown) and my skin color. I have very fair skin and I guess God has made my eyebrows light colored to match my overall color…
Wednesday Night Dinner – Healthy Fried Rice
My part-time maid, M screwed up my day again yesterday. I have always reminded her that should she be unable to come in for work, she has to send me a text message latest by 12 noon so that I can start doing chores myself. But she just can’t seem to take instructions well and only…
Monday Nite Dinner
Dinner whipped up in a jiffy yesterday – fried organic spinach noodles with minced pork, meat balls, garlic, a whole head of Chinese cabbage and 5 eggs (free-range ones). We had dinner at 6pm yesterday, which was earlier than usual as the girls had an extra Mandarin tuition class for the tutor to help…

When Cass and Alycia did the wall climb, I was shopping with Sherilyn. Sherilyn later joined them. My monkey girl finally got the…
