A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
I shudder when my kids bring home sweets, candies and junk food from school. These snacks always go to our part-time helper, the guards at our condo or straight to the bin.

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…
I found this very tasty yet not-so-junky snacks made from rye at our favorite mini mart. Though a tad pricey, I took a bag of 6 packs to try. And I loved it! A bag of 6 packs cost RM17.50. The cream cheese and chives snacks are made from 87% wholegrain rye flour, rye flour,…
Alycia has been bugging me to buy sausages but I have been ignoring her pleas as sausages ain’t a healthy choice of food. But this girl sure knows how to tug her grandma’s heartstrings. She managed to get her grandma to buy her a pack of sausages when we went grocery shopping last week. Yesterday,…

I am so in the mood to eat pandan chiffon cakes lately and have been submitting my chiffon cake ‘orders’ to my mil, who happily obliged. Lucky me that I have someone staying with me who loves to bake and does not mind getting into a baking and cooking frenzy several times a week. Ever…
Not the healthiest of breakfast choice, but the simple and cheap economical fried vermicelli or ‘king jai fun’ is my all-time favourite comfort food since aeons ago up until today! This simple yet comforting staple food served as breakfast and even lunch is ubiquetious in the morning, at road-side stalls, vans and in coffee shops….
Here’s my very cheesy breakfast: Laughing Cow cheese spread on a packet of Meiji plain crackers with oats… and a few strips of Mozzarella mild cheese…. This is supposed to be high-protein and low carbs… but a tad high on sodium though. I also gulped down a big mug of green tea after breakfast to…
My kind of biscuits are those that are multi-grained and multi-seeded, made from wholewheat, are low in sugar or sugar-free, free from sweet cream fillings and low in oil. Here are some of them: Fjord wholemeal rye flour crispbread with sesame seeds. Goes very well with cheese spread and cheeses. Iko range of health biscuits….
