A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
Granola Trail Mix by Nature’s Habit – this is by far the yummiest and crunchiest granola I have tried and it’s gonna be for keeps for sure. It also has generous amounts of almonds and pecans. I’ll definitely grab a few more packs the next time I shop at Cold Storage. Albeit pretty costly at…
Today is Cass’ kindy’s sports day. We left the house at 8am and I left with only some fruits and a cup of milk in my tummy which I took earlier. By the time we reached home at 10am, we were all very hungry. I quickly whipped up orange + chia seeds smoothie for the…
With my latest craze over maple syrup, I drizzle a generous amount of it on my wholemeal bread almost everyday. Today, I made a peanut butter sandwich and drizzled maple syrup on it, then wedged in wedges of ripened avocado. And the combo was piquant — creamy and nutty with the unique sweetness of maple…
The other day, hubs bought a box of pasteurized eggs from the supermarket just to find out how they taste like. Pasteurized eggs are kept in a special refrigerator just for the pasteurized eggs. And pasteurized eggs are almost double the cost of regular eggs. The only difference that I notice about pasteurized eggs is…
I was overjoyed when I stumbled upon soy bean butter at the Isetan supermarket @ KLCC last week. Soy beans are choke-full of protein, calcium and nutrients. And they are a dieter’s ideal food as soy beans are high in protein and low in carbs. Here’s how I savored my SoyNut butter… A thick spread…
My taste bud alters at different time of the month. Before my Aunt Flow visits each month, the palate gets excited with sweet stuff. This is one of my cravings for breakfast on those PMS days… Wholewheat ABC cereals which I hijacked from my daughters with pecans, pistachios (untoasted) and strawberry yoghurt. This combo pleased…
My perfect kind of breakfast or lunch: Multi-grain and seed rye bread with thick fillings of mil’s homemade pesto sauce, julienned cucumber, a thin slice of ham and mashed hard boiled eggs with mayo. Simply delish and nutritious! Perfect for the health freaks and slim freaks too… minus the ham that is 😉
I’ll bet no one can stomach this kind of food for their breakkie – a cup of plain yoghurt with muesli and nuts. Pretty bland but it’s healthy and wholesome stuff! High in fiber, protein, calcium and other nutrients! I’ll bet this is not your kind of stuff for the first meal of your day…
After lunch at Canton-I at The Gardens @ Mid Valley, we went into Hoi Ting Tong to try their herbal jelly. Hoi Ting Tong has outlets in Dataran Mentari Sunway, Damansara Jaya, Kota Damansara, Kuchai Lama and the outlet at Gardens is their latest outlet in Malaysia. Hoi Tin Tong originated from Hong Kong. The…
No matter how busy I may be with my work, I always make it a point to boil a pot of good soup for my kids. The Chinese believe the soups boiled for several hours are very beneficial for health. The Western also believe that chicken soups can cure colds. One of the soups that…
