FollowI whipped up a very tasty pasta dish using Campbell’s mushroom soup for the girls the other day. I used elbow macaroni and Disney’s Princess veggie pasta. This is so easy peasy to cook and the girls all loved them, especially rascal #2 who wanted to eat the pasta for 2 days straight and asked for it again and…

Buckwheat Pancake
Sometime early this year, my sil from New Zealand gave me a box of gluten-free buckwheat pancake flour. Last week, I finally made the pancakes for my girls. I used 1/2 the packet of pancake flour. I added 3 eggs, 2 tablespoon of Aly and Sher’s Dutch Lady 456 milk powder and a pinch of salt into the…
Spaghetti Never Too Much
My 3 girls have spaghetti or pasta (ala Bolognaise) at least twice a week. On other days, they have pasta cooked with cheese-milk-butter or cooked with Campbell’s mushroom soup. When there’s pasta or spaghetti on the dining table, everyone is happy – no fretting, no whining and no bribing. Cooking pasta/spaghetti bolognaise is also one…
Our Saturday
As I am typing this post, Baby is now being babysat by her 2 sisters who are entertaining her in my bedroom. Alycia is as usual inside the playpen cuddling her and letting Baby step on her head and all over her, hahaha! Sherilyn is on my bed experimenting hair styles and arranging out her…
Mac N Cheese With Tuna
Mac n cheese is one dish that my girls will never ever get fed up with. Most of the time, I cook it for them from scratch using their formula milk powder or fresh milk, butter, cheddar cheese and grated parmesan cheese. But sometimes I use San Remo instant Macaroni Cheese (supposedly no MSG). The…
Food Glorious Food
Over the past one week, I’ve been pigging in and out quite a bit. Here are just some of the grub that I ate, bought and cooked : Ribeye steak (well done) that I cooked with stir-fried brocolli and french beans. Ribeye steak (medium well) that the hubs cooked, on a bed of mashed potatoes,…
How To Get Kids To Eat Food They Dislike
My mil made some sushi for the gals last week since they’ve been badgering daddy to bring them to the Japanese restaurant for sushi. The gals liked them so much that my mil made another batch of sushi the following day. This time, she concealed steamed pumpkin in the sushi. My gals hate pumpkin and…
Making A Dish Look Good
My mil who is a great cook would only put presentable dishes on the dining table. Unlike me, I don’t bother much about making the food look really good, I use whatever plate/bowl that’s within reach and I try to find the shortest and easiest possible way to prepare a dish, but not my mil.…
Homemade Wholemeal High Fibre Pancakes
When my Streamyx was disconnected for more than a week recently, I had some free time and decided to make pancakes for the gals since it’s been quite some time since I last made pancakes for them. I used wholemeal high fibre bread flour sunce there were still 2 packets in the fridge. I also put in…
I Love Kai Jau
This is the ‘kai jau’ (chicken cooked with ginger wine and rice wine) that my hubby’s aunt cooked on Baby C’s fullmoon party last week. She cooked so much that there was so much leftover. After my confinement lady left on Friday last week, I ate that ‘kai jau’ for 4 days in a row! …
Boxing Day Breakfast
On Christmas day, we were out shopping at Mid Valley. Hubby bought some bacon and sausages from Cold Storage and on Boxing Day, he woke up early to cook them for us for breakfast. The gals didn’t like scrambled eggs (and I ended up finishing half the plate) but loved the salty cheese sausages. I seldom…
Everyone Loves Fried Vermicelli
My gals, especially Miss Spitty Spat Sherilyn hates eating rice and dishes but if there is fried vermicelli or fried mee, she can chomp down a big bowl without any fuss, threats or bribes. On days when we have fried vermicelli for lunch, I will ask my maid to cook one large pot that…
I Love Radish
This is a red radish. I never knew that there are a few types of radishes until my mil bought them. Apart from the white radish, there are also pink radish (pink skin white flesh) and green radish (green skin white flesh). The pink and green ones taste much better than the white radish. …
Tasty Fish Soup
This is a pot of steaming hot, tasty and sweet fish soup boiled with ‘kau yue’ (is it called Mackeral in English?) bones, head, tomatoes, garlic and slices of ginger. The soup goes very well with noodles. I had made some fish paste last week and used the fish bones to make some soup. Do check…
Our Simple Dinner
We normally have 3 dishes for dinner – a must-have stir-fried vegetables, a fish or a chicken and an egg or tofu dish or another vegetables dish. Are these a lot? Hubby usually doesn’t join us for dinner as he works late and doesn’t like bland food (what an insult to my cooking eh?) catered…
