Breakfast for Champs – Sweet & Savory Wraps!
In our household, breakfast is a very simple affair: On weekdays, it’ll be bread with jam with butter, Post cereals, muffins & cupcakes which I baked the night before or the occasional ham/egg/ tuna sandwich. On weekends, Daddy loves to bring us out for breakfast and we would indulge in local hawker fare such as Kaya Toast with Runny Egg (Slurps!), Indian Roti Prata or Teochew Fishball noodles. When I saw Adora of The Gingerbread Mum hosting this Breakfast for Champs series, I knew I … [Read more...]
Hatched, Rise & Dine!
We chanced upon this restaurant in 2010 when we were sourcing for a good casual party venue for Dana’s birthday. Opened in September 2009, Hatched at Evans Lodge is a restaurant that serves all day breakfast.

Even though it isn’t our first meal at Hatched, there were so many different choices on the menu that it took us a while to decide what we want! We went … [Read more...]
Fun Friday Bake!
It has been a most hectic week with lots of deadlines at work and the arrival of a new domestic help.

I enlisted the help of my capable little baking apprentice, Dana, to do most of the tasks as this recipe is rather … [Read more...]

Mealtime has become such a fun time with mummy eagerly experimenting new recipes to satisfy Dana's growing tastebuds! Today's new menu is taken from Annabel Karmel's website: http://www.annabelkarmel.com/recipes/babies-6-9-months/tasty-fish-sweet-potatoI've decided to throw my inhibitions out of the window in allowing our Princess to partially self-feed (and inevitably make a mess in the process).

Green Peas with Potato & Onion Soup
Ever since Dana sprouted 2 teeth, she's shown more interest in what we're eating than her usual porridge. So mummy has to scour children's cookbooks for more ideas to plan her post-porridge weaning menu. One new dish we've prepared for Dana today was the Green Peas with Potato & Onion Soup. We served it with bread and Dana seems to like it although it has a distinctly 'vege' taste.
