A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
Here’s a very simple and quick-to-whip up lunch which I prepared for the girls. Green tea noodles with sesame seed oil, toasted sesame seeds, a drop of soy sauce and stall bought roast chicken and lean ‘char siew’ . Before eating lunch, my girls will always have a bowl of fruits first. Easy peasy meal…
Here’s one of our typical dinners whipped up by the mil. Nothing fancy and elaborate but I love them all. Nothing beats homecooked food, cooked with good quality cooking oil, vegetables that are thoroughly cleaned and dishes cooked with love. Dishes that we can all eat confidently without worry of lack of hygiene, recycled oil…
Last X’mas (which was just a few days ago), the hubs bought an XL size turkey and roasted it himself. With so much stuffings for the turkey besides having other side dishes, there was a big portion of leftover turkey at the end of the dinner. After our guests had helped themselves to packing away…
Whenever my mil is around, we don’t have to make trips to the bakery or have pizzas delivered to our door step for she will be baking them for us. The girls just have to tell their grandma what they would like to eat and their wishes will be her command. Here’s a yummy pizza…
Tired of cooking the same old dishes for my girls, I whipped up something different. As I had some fresh button mushrooms in the fridge and some chicken, I braised the chicken with fresh button mushrooms. Fresh mushrooms can be pretty costly. A punnet costs over RM10. If you want, you can substitute it with…
Another meal on the menu that my girls never get tired of : fish soup with fish balls. A wok of nutritious fish soup boiled for over an hour with pumpkin, tomatoes, 3 big chunks of fish, anchovies, garlic, a slice of ginger and Chinese cabbage … A bowl each of Udon with yummy fish…
“Scooby Dooby Doo where are you, we need your o o rrr help…..!!” Up until today, the Scooby Doo cartoon jingle still jingles in my head very vividly. Scooby Doo, the funny and helpful big brown dog was my favorite cartoon when I was a child. When I saw Scooby Doo tri-color pasta at Cold…
When my kids, especially Alycia (who is the most fussy eater of the three) get bored with fried noodles, fried rice, noodles soup and sandwiches for lunch, I make them something that all of them love to bits – sushi and California rolls. My version of the sushi is a healthy one, complete with cooked…
Fried rice is one of the easiest and tastiest meals to whip up in a jiffy. Plus I can dump all the left over overnight food to fry with the rice. My fried rice normally consists of chicken breast meat from the roast chicken (siu kai fan) that we take away for lunch (no one…
The other day, I whipped this out for lunch for the girls – pasta with mushroom soup, fresh mushrooms, blanched french beans and some pan fried beef balls. This is one of the girls’ favorite food for lunch and it tastes as good as the ones from restaurants! Ingredients used to make the sauce are…
