FollowI have been kissed by some bugs that the drama queen brought back from either school or the enrichment centre. She has been having flu (not the full-blown kind that warrants sick leave) for quite some time already and just don’t seem to get better. I am now suspecting that she has sinus. Anyway, since…

Overnight Oats Sensation
Lately, I am hooked on overnight oats! Oats have never really been my favorite food. But after overnight oats became a Facebook sensation for the past one week, where almost all my blog friends have been coming up with their own juicy creation of overnight oats, I got hooked on it too! This is my…
Down But Not Totally Out
I am down with a bad strep throat and throbbing head, no thanks to all the vicious and ravenous virus lingering in our house. Everyone in the house was down with cold and strep throat for the past two weeks. Sherilyn got it first and I think she must have gotten it from school or…

My Health Freak Breakfast – 25 April 2013
After a half-hour workout in the gym today where I burned 300+ calories, here’s what I had for breakfast: 1 packet of Ryvita’s mini cream cheese & chives rye crackers (shared with Cass) and half a bowl of honey nut granola topped with untoasted hazelnuts, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds and three juicy strawberries. I…

Lots Of Salmon
Everyone in our family loves salmon fish. We love it eaten in any form – raw (we have never let our gals try it though), steamed, pan fried, grilled, toasted (wrapped in aluminium foil and toasted in the oven) and BBQed. We normally pan fry the salmon head and then boil it to make a pot of nutritious…
Goji Berries, Superfruit Of The Year
I was just telling my mum that tomorrow, I am going to throw in some dried goji berries or gei chee into Baby C’s porridge. Have you ever tried goji berries or goji juice? I had read that goji berries were recently named “superfruit of the year” by Time Magazine. Hey, if you have more…

A Health Freak Nursing Mom’s Breakfast
Now that I am breastfeeding Baby C exclusively, I have to ensure that I eat wholesome food. No more eating packed roadside ‘economy fried noodles’ or cee cheong fun with loads of sweet sauce for breakfast, though I still eat them once in a blue moon. Instead, my breakfast consists of : 7:30am – 1…
My Fresh Milk Stock
That’s how much fresh milk I drink for 1.5 weeks – 4 boxes of my favorite Marigold HL milk – plain and banana flavor. Despite having aversion to certain food, luckily I still love milk during my pregnancy, all 3 of them. When I was carrying Alycia and didn’t have appetite to eat anything, I was practically surviving only on fresh…
I Need Something ‘Yun’
When I had a chanced meeting with Alycia and Sher’s former babysitter yesterday, she was taken aback to see me ‘dried and withered’ with cracked lips and peeling skin on my arms. She advised me to double boil something ‘yun’ to drink and suggested pears or apples double boiled with snow fungus and wolfberries. She…
Herbal Egg
This is my favorite kind of egg – ‘char tan’ or herbal egg. I normally buy them from the Eu Yan Sang chinese medicine hall near my house. I also love to drink the herbal soup that’s used to boil the egg. At only 60 sen per egg, it’s a cheap and nutricious food. I normally buy 2 – one…
Black Chicken Soup
This is my usual ‘poa pun’ (nutricious stuff in Cantonese) during my pregnancy – black chicken soup with snow fungus, wolfberries and red dates. Black chicken is known to be more nutricious than regular chicken. During my previous pregnancies, my mil or my former maids would chop and crush the black chicken into pieces before putting the chicken into a special double boiler with holes…
