After 3 days of vomiting and retching with zilch appetite, Alycia’s appetite is slowly returning today. For 3 days, everyone at home has been eating porridge and vermicelli cooked with minimal oil and meat. According to the paed’s suspicion, Alycia has been attacked by some kind of virus. You know doctors, when they cannot be…
Grandma made a batch of pumpkin buns just before dinner. My bread-crazed Cass announced to grandma that she ain’t going to eat rice and only wanted to eat mien pau (bread in Mandarin) with homemade kaya and cheese. So while the rest of us had rice with yummy homecooked dishes, Cass had bread and I…

Here’s our homecooked lunch today, which is the first meal that the mil whipped up for us since her return from Hong Kong yesterday. 1) Kobe beef #5, flown from Japan to Hong Kong, which the mil brought back from Hong Kong yesterday 2) Super sweet and juicy cherries which the mil brought back from…
Here’s the fuss-free, sweat-free and easy to prep dinner that I dished out yesterday. Roast chicken drumsticks (chopped into bite size) with garlic, onion, tomato and red bell pepper. In the morning, I marinated the chicken with HP sauce, soy sauce, Manuka honey, pepper, mixed herbs and some left over red wine in the fridge….
For the kids’ lunch today, I was undecided whether to cook green tea noodles with the new sauce that I had bought from Isetan or mushroom pasta. Since the punnet of button mushrooms had been sitting in the fridge for over 1 week already, I thought I should just use it before they turn black….
Here is our dinner for tonight, which I have already prepared at 4:40pm, as rascal #2 has ballet at 6:30pm. For time-challenged WFHMs, there will be lots of one-pot meals without stir-frying, shallow or deep frying. The lesser washing and oil splatters the better… and the food is healthier too. Steamed chicken drumsticks in tong…
Mushroom pasta cooked with Campbell’s mushroom soup is one of my kids’ favorite lunch meals. I normally add in 2 punnets of fresh button mushrooms, onions and sometimes chopped carrots. This time, I cooked it with pan fried fish, to pump up their protein and DHA intake. After briefly pan-frying the fish in a non-stick…
That’s my kids’ lunch today – taken with my handphone, sent from my handphone to my email and from my email uploaded into my blog. Preparation time + cooking + cleaning up took me exactly 45 minutes. After cooking this, I rushed off to pick up Cass. She is now happily gobbling down this bowl…
Living with a great cook and a foodie hubs who is in the food catering industry, I need to have steely will power not to succumb to temptations of sinfully delish food all the time. And thank God I have that steadfast self control to resist the grub and determination to exercise everyday 😀 These…
Without a live-in maid, my mil and I have to alter the dishes on our menu. There are now lesser elaborate dishes that cause oil splatters, though my mil still prepares pan-fried fish and pancakes using our newly acquired Happy Call Pan (HCP), which is a gift from my mum. Here’s what my mil prepared…
Maggie mee (my girls’ way of labeling instant noodles) is my girls’ all-time favorite comfort food. That is because I hardly prepare instant noodles for them. Even if I do, the sachet of flavouring with MSG is not added into the soup or noodles. And there will be other side dishes like eggs, seaweed,…
Here’s yet another bento set lunch for my girls prepared this week, something that’s quick to prepare and does not need elaborate preparation and cooking. For busy working mums like me, you can cook a big portion and deep freeze in smaller portions for future consumption. The Terriyaki chicken strips go well along with rice…
