Strawberry and Mango Smoothie

February 19, 2015

I am a huge fan of Berries. They are pretty, flavorful, taste amazing on cheesecakes and hold a long list of health benefits. When in season, berries are delicious on its own or with yogurt for a creamy, refreshing snack. When you do not get the best of the berries, smoothie'ing is the way to go. I wanted to do a…

Vegan Mango and Orange Smoothie

February 11, 2015

It's the beginning of the week again? At the pace in which the days are moving, I am gonna be old and wrinkled in a matter of blinks. Last week was kinda hectic. A couple of bakes here and there but my favorite has to be this frozen cake for a 5 years old girl birthday. I'm a typical girl and…

Orange and Carrot Smoothie

December 4, 2014

I’ve become a bit of a carrot addict lately. No, I do not munch away to carrots like how BUGS Bunny would. In fact, I am not a huge fan of raw carrots. I do not mind bits of pieces here and there, but I am definitely not one of those people who munch on carrot sticks. I like carrots in…

Pina Colada Smoothie Recipe

November 17, 2014

My sleeping patterns have taken a drastic change. I spend the night sleeping in installments. If my sleeping hours were to be made into a movie, it would be a movie with part 1, part 2 and a part 3 (Read: a movie with sequels). I no longer sleep at a stretch, or rather I am not able to sleep…

Roasted Asparagus in Balsamic Butter Vinaigrette

October 27, 2014

Some of you might be looking at the title and going "Butter on Skinny Mondays"?? Butter in moderation is fine; not my words, but Dr. Ian Smith's. Yes, that is how I roll at times, echoing back whatever the specialist said. It is perfectly normal to quote someone else otherwise there wouldn't be a re-post feature on Instagram, a re-tweet tab on…

Whenever someone drops me a message/comment on Maya’s Kitchenette, I would be all smiley-miley. There is always a sense of satisfaction when a certain recipe is loved. So do keep the comments coming people. (hint hint) Responsibility is built into blogging, too. I have been trying to blog religiously. I might not be taking the most awesome of pictures (as yet) but I…

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…

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…
