A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
While everyone was still dreaming in bed early this Sunday morning, I got up early to do some chores as usual, and then whipped up smoothie for everyone! Orange + apple + fresh coconut water smoothie for the girls and hubs. Avocado + milk + orange apple coconut shake for moi! There were a total…
With two big punnets of blueberry that I lugged back from New Zealand, I made blueberry smoothie (blitzed with other fruits) for everyone everyday for over a week! Here, I made orange + apple + blueberry smoothie. I had to add a teaspoon of boysenberry honey, to be blitzed with the fruits as the blueberries…
On 30 Dec 2014, Cass went for an MRI scan of her urinary tract and kidneys. The scan is to see if there are any hidden abnormalities in her kidneys. We know that her right kidney is duplex. And she had a Grade 3 Kidney Reflux on the right side, which has since been fixed…
It’s nice to know there is a government agency that will help you if you are disabled and cannot work.

A few weeks ago, I had a sharp pain on my left knee cap each time I squatted down. Sometimes there was a cracking sound and the knee felt cold and numb. The pain went on for about 10 days. The funny thing is that when I did my usual run in the morning, I…
I have been going green and raw for the past few days. Firstly, I am not feeling 100% up to the mark, no thanks to the flu bugs loitering in our home. No matter how hard I try to eat clean, I somewhat succumbed to the virulent bugs. But the good thing is – the…
I made a big pot of pork bolognese sauce the other day. I used part of the sauce to whip up a penne pasta dish for the girls’ dinner and kept a portion in the freezer. I used the thawed portion for making cheat pizza (from wraps) last Sunday. How handy was the frozen…
This is what I had for breakfast this morning… Roasted pumpkin wedges, carrots, aubergine and garlic with olive oil and salt. And I ate them cold. Straight from the fridge and I like it this way 🙂 In fact, I like food eaten (certain food, not all) straight from the fridge. I wonder if anyone…
