I received my much-awaited goodies from Amazin’ Graze a few days ago. They are two flavors of granola (salted gula Melaka and hazelnut blackforest), zesty maple glazed nut mix and a bottle of ABC (almond, brazil nut, cashew) butter. All are droolicious! ?? When our girls got home from school, they darted straight into the kitchen to…
I have never really fancied eating oats, though I eat it pretty often, for health sake. I have genetic high cholesterol and oats are one of the most readily available and affordable foods that can help to bring down bad cholesterol level. Thankfully Cass likes eating oats. While her two sisters have toasts for breakfast…
Today is another day of Deepavali holiday for the girls. I just found out from Alycia in the car this morning that her holiday ends today while Cass and Drama Queen have another day of holiday tomorrow. WTF?!! I thought I was going to have another day of sleeping in tomorrow morning, but my holiday…
I ensure that the girls get their daily dose of fresh fruits and vegetables everyday. They have either fruit smoothie or fresh whole fruit everyday. Yesterday I made them apple + orange + pineapple + chia seeds smoothie. Today is papaya + sliced red capsicum. Alycia has no issues eating capsicums. She grazes veggies…
This is my salad of the day for today: Capsicum (green, red and dark purple), kyuri, baby radish, toasted walnut, toasted almond, Furikake, Nori and a drizzle of roasted sesame dressing. This capsicum salad is really yummy and refreshing. I love the crunchiness and freshness of the sweet capsicum. I especially love the vibrant colors…
Smoothie for today composes of pineapple (half), green apple (1) and orange (2) This can yield 3 full mugs and 1 bottle for the girls and the hubs. The girls are having vermicelli with prawn + chicken soup, to go with some takeout char siew and roast chicken. Yeah, I know the weird combo. The…
My breakfast yesterday morning… Skinny sugar-free, preservative-free and additives-free yoghurt with Pic’s sugar-free cashew butter, toasted pumpkin seeds, organic chia seeds, raw walnuts, blanched skinless almonds, drizzle of maple syrup and a small handful of coconut cookies. I am surprised that Cass loves Farm Fresh’s sugar-free yoghurt, which is a tad sour and light. She…
Ok, I have genetic high cholesterol 🙁 My doctors told me that it would be really, really difficult to bring down the cholesterol reading however hard I alter my diet and exercise. I could be stick thin and eat nothing but green veggies and exercise 2 hours a day, but my cholesterol reading would still be…
After a week of super rich food indulgence in Hong Kong, it’s time to start eating ‘humble’ food again 😀 My tummy and innards cannot stomach such meat-intense and high caloric meals everyday. While we were in Hong Kong, we had a snake meal on the second day, where almost every dish that was served…
My brekkie today (after a 20-lap swim in the pool), fit for a health freak and those planning on losing some weight 😀 Composition: Half avocado + 3 tablespoons organic oat bran + a handful of baked almonds + fresh chocolate milk + chilled water (ice cubes would be more refreshing) blitzed for about 20…
