A Health Freak’s Breakfast

While everyone else started to attack the sausages, bacon, porridge,  Japanese cuisine and jammed up the egg omelette counter at the coffee house @ Hilton Sentral, I breezed through the fruits counter, albeit the queue at the fresh juice counter was pretty long. Here’s what I started with for breakfast… Fresh fruit juices, fresh fruits,…

Alycia’s Wholesome Lunch

Alycia comes back from school at around 4pm twice a week. On days when she comes home late, she will be served a light lunch as dinner will be served early on those days. In school, she will grab a quick bite (nuggets, cakes, buns, biscuits) before she hurries off to her enrichment class. This…

Tortoise Jelly

My mil got 2 boxes of kwai leng goa from Eu Yan Sang the other day. Guess who whacked the 2 boxes of tortoise jelly? My not so health freak Alycia and moi. I love tortoise jelly, though it tastes a tad bitter and I normaly eat it minus the honey.  Yup, I can slurp the…

2 Square Meals Of Bread Today

I am a bread lover. I can eat bread everyday yet hardly get fed-up of em.  I’m talking about wholewheat and multi-grain and seeds bread. Though I love white bread, I hardly eat them as they are fattening and not that healthy.   That’s what I had for breakfast today : 2 slices of toasted Adventist sprouted wheat bread…

A Vending Machine That Dispenses Healthy Snacks

When I was a kid, I used to spend all my pocket money on junk food bought from the school canteen. After I had bought the junk food, I would stealthily put them in my school bag and once home, I would hide the junk food under my mattress! Of course my junk act was soon…

Biscuit-free For 1 Month

Alycia is very prone to getting throat infection and ulcers in her throat and inner lip. I suspect that these are caused by eating too much biscuits and crackers. Though she drinks plain water like a camel, she is still very susceptible to sore throat and ulcers in her mouth. I have a friend whose…

Eating Cereal With Milo

Remember the organic cereal that I had bought earlier? Well, after eating them several times, I just feel like they smell like dog food and chicken feed. Maybe that’s because they contain very little sugar and there are no food additives to make them taste good.  It could be due to my raging hormones that are making my taste…

Sunflower Seeds

After tasting a couple of sunflower seeds that were meant for Alycia and Sherilyn’s paper sunflower craft at Sunday School last Sunday, I was hooked on the seeds. The next day, I went to the grocery shop to buy a packet which only cost RM1-00. This brand of sunflower seeds has a tinge of herbal taste…

Low Fat High Fibre Organic Cereal

So much of unhealthy fish crackers and cheese crackers for a preggy mom, I finally bought a more wholesome and healthy alternative – high fibre, low fat organic cereal. They taste really good with Marigold HL banana flavored fresh milk. I eat this whenever I am hungry now, instead of gorging on unhealthy heaty snacks….

Green Tea cookies

I am a great fan of green tea. I love to eat anything that has green tea in it. I especially love macha or green tea ice-cream. I even add green tea powder into my home-made bread. I recently bought this brand of green tea cookies made in Taiwan from Jaya Jusco. Some of the…

Healthy Snack – Cherry Tomatoes

Another favourite snacks for me and my 2 lil’ ones, cherry tomatoes. Alycia loves them a lot. I normally try to buy organic ones but if I can’t find them, I’ll get regular ones. It’s also a great food for dieters as tomatoes have low GI (Glycemix Index) and rich in Vitamins and anti-oxidants. I…

Nuts Over Nuts

From left to right : Raw organic brazil nuts, raw white pumpkin seeds, raw organic green pumpkin seeds, Menglembu groundnuts and raw almonds. That’s my stock of nuts and seeds. Since I am on a high protein and low carb diet, nuts and seeds are the best and most convenient snacks to munch on to…

My Simple and Healthy Lunch

That is my lunch today. Sugar-free peanut butter and sugar-free black sesame paste (my mil bought from Hong Kong) on toasted organic bread. That’s Adventist 3-seeds and grains bread. Since i’ve been quite busy lately and didnt have time to make bread, I bought organic bread instead. The bread is 100% flour-free and is made…
