Peach and Mango Smoothie

October 13, 2014

I was looking forward to baking over the weekend as I was supposed to give my cousin a box of cupcakes for a baby shower and prepare a butter cake for my aunt. I also wanted to do some “personal baking” too. You know the one's to satisfy your cravings. I have been thinking of nothing, but blueberry scones since…

Caramelized Onions, Mushroom and Avocado Quesadillas

October 11, 2014

An avocado 2 times a week, keep the doctors away. "An apple a day" quote is so 1923 (Read: So yesterday) You know there are certain times when you are just too lazy to fix a whole meal. Okay fine, I meant me. It usually happens when I have to fix lunch for myself. I don’t mind cooking for the whole…

Easy Italian Seafood Soup

September 30, 2014

I love soups especially for dinner. Cream of Mushroom Soup has to be one of my favorite. Have you heard of the Jewish woman who had two chickens? One got sick, so the woman made chicken soup out of the other one to help the sick one get well. So that basically means, soups are good for everyone. ;) 1. Soups…

Avocado Egg and Kale Panini

September 22, 2014

I was in two minds about writing a post today. I was thinking that I might get a bit too emotional. It is not feasible to blog and not mention about my late father who passed away on this date 22nd of September. It has been many years now since he left us and even though I was barely six…

Banana Raspberry Avocado Smoothie

September 8, 2014

Why are certain things so delicious yet expensive? I am snacking on Macadamia nuts and I can go on and on and on. The only problem would be 150g baked macadamia = $9 Let’s say if I go reallllllly slow, this packet can last for 30 minutes. Minus 8 hours of sleep (ya, right) 2 hours of doing general stuffs. That would mean 14 hours…

Barbecued Garlic And Chilli Prawns

September 1, 2014

For the past 1 hour, I have been listening to "heart attack", "I love you like a long song" and "love story". Why am I susceptible to the music of teen girls? I blame this on my 14 years old niece. She has been continuously singing these kinda songs to her young-at-heart-aunt. If listening to Justin Bieber would make me…

Refreshing Mango Lassi

August 21, 2014

I am a cool kinda person. Not that I am clad in Versace or I strut like the kardashians. I just like cool/cold things. Every night when I go to bed, I thank god for the AC. When the Aircon was not working for 2 days, I was all grumpy. I would choose a glass of cold orange juice over a…

I can finally breathe normally again. The wedding cake woes, it’s finally over. I had a good time making the cakes and the two tiered wedding cake plus 150 cupcakes all baked, sat and were at peace with each other. Amen to that. This is the last week of Eid and I am so looking forward to go back to the…

Avocado and Artichoke Pasta Salad

I love making lists. I make lists when I go shopping. I make to-do lists of things I have to do. I make a list of my working schedule when I have orders or when it is a busy period. Eg: Eid. I make a weekly list for the dinners that I cook. I am a list-maniac. Colornote is officially my best friend. Despite sounding…

Easy Hummus Recipe

July 7, 2014

It is already the ninth day of fast And this is going ultrafast. If a shooting star were to fly past, I would have wished for Ramadan to last. With my "original composition" above, it sure feels like the mojo is back! Ramadan is moving at 100000000km/h. Not liking the pace really but loving this Easy Hummus Recipe though. In fact totally digging it. Hummus…
