The mil made some crunchy-licious Biscotti yesterday. After the Biscotti were removed from the oven and left to cool, the girls and I could stop laying our hands on the lip-smacking Biscotti. They were really delish and addictive. Best to savor these Biscotti with coffee or tea! I’ll bet the needle on my weighing machine…
I have been feeling under the weather since yesterday. Yesterday my throat and congested nose were really bad. Today, the congestion on my nose has eased a little but still unable to breathe through my nose — and I hate breathing through my mouth. I could hardly smell and taste my food. No appetite to…
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…
My girls’ all-time favorite for lunch – noodles with squids (all 3 of them are hooked on squids!), prawns, veggie in a bowl of anchovies soup. I gave them each a hard-boiled free-range chicken egg for added nutrients. They can eat this twice a day, 2 days in a row and fuss-free. And it’s…
Today I made pancakes for the girls. Normally I would use organic wholemeal flour but the other day, I bought a pack of PanJack pancake flour to try. For added nutrients and protein, I added 2 big scoops of milk powder and 3 eggs into the batter. The result was REWARDING! My girls loved the…
Despite being super busy with my online store and 3 high demand kiddos, I still make it a point to cook for my kids twice a day. Here are just some of my culinary ‘display’ : Braised potato chicken with tomatoes. The sweet and sour taste of the tomatoes is very flavorful and can whet the…
I had finished my mum’s homemade kaya and bought those on-the-shelf kaya from the mini mart. But the kaya tasted awful – it was diabetes-inducing sweet and tasteless, with very little santan taste and a tad rancid taste too. My girls love kaya too and they had been asking me for kaya each time they…
When she’s around, I don’t have to worry about food on the table – 3 meals a day. She prefers homemade breads, cakes, cookies and homecooked food. When she’s around, she would discourage eating out and even discourages buying bread, buns and cakes from the bakery for she will bake them. Here are some of…
I always cook large portions of spaghetti and pasta and deep freeze them for Baby. The other day I cooked a big pot of fried vermicelli and decided to try deep freezing them. I had never before tried deep freezing fried vermicelli and I am glad that I experimented doing so, as the defrosted and…
My mum recently bought a Primada Grains Nutrition Expert, which is a ‘tong sui’ maker. The maker is primarily to make tong sui from grains – soy beans, mung beans, red beans, barley, white sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, white almonds, walnuts, peanuts, brown rice, red rice, black rice and just about any type of grains,…
During our stay in Ipoh, my parents made kaya four times. The first batch of kaya was SO delish that they were polished off within 2-3 days. The second time round, my mum wanted to try making kaya using the crockpot/slow cooker. But she had forgotten to turn the heat to low when we went…
Hubby’s aunt made the gals a loaf of white bread the other day. However, the bread was a tad dry and the gals didn’t quite like it. It just didn’t taste like the Gardenia white bread, their favorite white bread. So I kept the bread in the freezer and decided yesterday to make some croutons so…
My mum made some homemade jam and bread spread before she came to visit us last week. She made peanut butter, pandan kaya (a bread spread made of coconut milk, sugar, eggs and screwpine leaves juice), strawberry jam, green bean or mung bean paste and red bean paste – all with reduced sugar as I don’t…
