Non-Bake Mango Marshmallow Cheesecake Recipe
We celebrated 2 #CircuitBreaker birthdays this month (yup, both the hubby and my birthdays are in May, only 10 days apart!). Since we are unable to head out for a nice meal, the daughter has requested that we bake a cake for Daddy. When I said 'yes', I did not expect to be dashing to various supermarkets as some of the key ingredients were literally impossible to get during this period! I SOS-ed my trusty home-baker friend, Kai Lee of @CativatingCakeAndCupcake and she got me the essentials … [Read more...]
One-Pot Easy Beef Stew with True Aussie Beef
Meal Planning: Tradition and Values Like many, our plans for the March school holidays were affected by the evolving Covid-19 situation but we didn’t let that thwart our quality family time. I took the chance to teach my teenage daughter to cook one of our family’s favorite dishes – One-Pot Easy Beef Stew! Cooking this dish is more than just passing-down a family tradition to my kids, I’m passing down the value of proper self-care by eating healthy, nutritious meals. Iron in … [Read more...]
Support SG Local Grocers During Covid-19
Covid-19 is disrupting the way we live, socialise and work in an unprecendented way. No one seems to know is how long these measures of social distancing, travel restrictions and hunkering down of international borders will last. The pandemic is still evolving every minute and a threat to the livelihoods of those who had under-estimated its deadliness. The announcement of a 2-weeks total lock down by Malaysia yesterday (16 March 2020) sent a new wave of shoppers scrambling to stock … [Read more...]
Benefits of Slow Juicing with Hurom Juicer
When cancer came knocking “People generally don’t think about what they eat or drink…until cancer hits them.” I was making this remark to a close friend over the weekend. In fact, the truth is, we were like that too. While we don’t purposefully load ourselves with fatty, oily or sugary food, we weren't mindful of the nutrients our body needs to recuperate and rebuild. We had been guilty of being indifferent about diet and nutrition until cancer came knocking. One of the first lifestyle … [Read more...]

Jammin’ Away Food Wastage!
In our household, we love fruits. The kids request for bananas, grapes, apples and oranges nightly and we love watermelons, papayas and pears too. We buy a bunch of fruits every week at our grocery runs and I try to stock up when certain seasonal fruits (such as blueberries and strawberries) are on sale. As the saying goes, 'out of sight, out of mind'. Often by the end of the week, there will be some overly ripe of fruits lying in the fridge, forgotten. I've started making jams … [Read more...]
Aye Aye Captain Oats! Healthy Living with Oats
When the trend of overnight oats hit Singapore last year, I joined a FB group dedicated to it and started learning how to prepare overnight oats for breakfast. It was simple, tasty and most importantly, a small step towards healthy change in our choice of breakfast food. My then 7 year old daughter and I have since been hooked on oats but little did I know what a superfood it is and the many health benefits they bring. We were introduced to Captain Oats recently. Captain Oats uses only … [Read more...]
Going Local with Le Creuset: Fish Maw Soup
During the December school holidays, the husband and I challenged ourselves to cook yet another heritage dish which we can serve our guests when they visit. Fish Maw Soup is one of our favourite but we only get it to eat it on special occasions. Ever since our Bangkok trip where we tasted the Fish Maw Soup from Ping's Teochew Restaurant, we had been thinking how awesome it would be if we can master this dish for the upcoming Chinese New Year. With a good recipe in hand, we went about … [Read more...]
Sundays with Sun-Maid Raisins
Ever had one of those rare weekends where you have either virtually no plans or have decided to shelf aside less urgent ones so that we can devote time to what weekends are best for – being spontaneous? Well, rare as it is, we had one recently in the midst of weeks of whirlwind school holiday activities. It was a Sunday…we turned down several invites as we wanted to laze at home after church . Not wanting a precious afternoon like this to be whiled away, I decided at the drop of a hat to … [Read more...]
