A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
My dad bought us 2 salt-baked chicken from the popular Aun Kheng Lim Salted Chicken, Ipoh when he came to visit us 2 weeks back. Though really tasty (I love the taste of the herbs), I find the chicken a tad too salty. Since we could not finish the last chicken a few days ago,…
I was at Caring Pharmacy yesterday to get a bottle of hand sanitizer and disinfectant wet wipes and stumbled on some Del Monte cranberries. My 2 older gals who previously didn’t fancy raisins or dried cranberries have recently started to love nibbling on these dried fruits. I got them a pack of Del Monte cranberries…
My visiting parents from Ipoh bought a few kilograms of raw peanuts from the wet market for us. I’ve not bought raw peanuts for aeons and I miss eating them. Each time I see a vendor hawking boiled peanuts on a bike or tricycle (which is pretty rare in KL these days), it reminds me…
I bought a huge bunch of watercress veggie the other day to make watercress soup and for my mil to make dumplings (kau cee). Since there was also an apple that has been sitting in the fridge for quite some time, I toss in the apple as well as the watercress into the crockpot of…
I bought some red pears some time back from the fruit stall beneath Babyland @ PJ SS2. This stall often carries a wide variety of fruits and rare fruits. I’ve never seen red pears before, thus I bought them to try but after trying just one, everyone in the family disliked the taste and texture. It…
Even when Baby’s down with a bad cold with phlegm and is avoiding most solids, including fruits and biscuits, she surprisingly still likes her veggie – celery, french beans, leek flowers, you name it! She’s indeed a health freak baby, just like her mummy haha! Here Baby is munching on some leek flowers. I am…
This is the applicator with mask for the Ventolin inhaler for Baby to clear her chest of the phlegm. This applicator and Ventolin cost almost RM200. This gadget looked really complicated and I had to study the instructions and the gadget for almost 15 minutes before I knew how to use it. Though the pharmacist…
Whenever my gals have constipation, the first thing that comes into my mind to help them move their bowel is the red dragon fruit. I always have stock of the red dragon fruit in my fridge and my gals and I eat this fruit at least 2-3 times a week. But not Baby coz she…
My mil got a chopping board that costs RM15 made from environmentally friendly wood from the organic shop the other day. I never knew there’s such a thing as environmentally friendly wood, i.e. wood from trees in a controlled and sustainable forest plantation. The wood is supposedly resistant to stains and odors. We’ve been using…
That’s Sherilyn downing a cup of prune juice with a spoonful of psyllium husk. I thought she wouldn’t drink that cup of yucky stuff coz it’s quite yucky tasting and the texture? Eeeeyucks…. even I hate it but I still down a cup of apple cider vinegar (about 2 teaspoons) with water and psyllium husk…
