A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
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…
My quirky and absolutely healthy mid-morning breakfast today! I call it quirky coz I tossed in some tortilla chips into my yoghurt for the crunch and saltiness that I craved for this morning. My first breakfast is always fruits on empty stomach followed by a cup of fresh milk with coffee half an hour later. …
This morning I bought a bottle of organic 100% pure maple syrup from the mini mart. I could not decide if I should buy it or otherwise as I think forking out RM34.90 for a 250ml bottle of syrup is just too expensive. At the mini mart, I was also hunting for agave nectar (which…
This bowl of overnight oats is probably the last thing you want to eat for breakfast. But looks can be deceiving. My bowl of chilled oats for today’s breakfast tastes awesome! It reminds me of the Bircher Muesli that I often eat at hotels for breakfast, sans the grated apple. …
We all know that breast meat is lean and healthier in comparison to other parts of the chicken. Lean chicken meat is one of the best sources of protein and perfect for health freaks on a low-carb and low-fat diet. The problem with us is when we are served chicken, no one would touch…
Sherilyn had a one-day break from school on Tuesday as it was the resitting day of the UPSR Math and Science test papers for Primary 6 students. Since she had finished her homework, I got her around to help me to grate cheese. Of the 3 girls, Sherilyn loves cooking the most. For someone who…
My breakfast for today and yesterday as well 🙂 Oats squares with yoghurt milk, ground hazelnut, toasted almond slices, pumpkin seeds and a dollop of Steffi’s sugar-free peanut butter. 2 lava eggs, seasoned with organic soy sauce and pepper. I used free-range chicken eggs. I am trying to steer away from bread and…
The other morning when I was at the butcher to get some pork ribs to make bakuteh, the butcher who is ever full of handy tips told me to get a wedge of ‘fun kot’ (kudzu root) to boil it with the bakuteh herbs and meat. The kudzu root will impart natural sweetness and flavor…
Our healthy organic brown rice noodles for dinner yesterday… The minced chicken meat and shimeji mushrooms were cooked with a head of garlic (minced in the blender), darkened and seasoned to taste with blackstrap molasses, organic soy sauce and pepper. The blackstrap tastes pretty much the same as thick dark soy sauce and way…
