Yes, you are not seeing things. I did put fudgy chocolate muffins and low fat in the same line. And no, you are not dreaming nor am I delusional nor lying nor just plain bonkers. Okay, so I am a bit bonkers but that’s not what I want to blog about today.These are the mini low fat fudgy chocolate muffins I’m talking about…
Actually, I found this Weight Watchers’ recipe from Cajun Chef Ryan’s blog, so do check out his post of this recipe here. That’s how I knew it was low fat. And the best part, you . . . → Read More: Mini Fudgy Chocolate Muffins…and they are low fat too!
A few months back, I turned my extra apples into a crisp…erm, apple crisp to be exact. So, now I am again inundated with loads of Fuji apples and getting pretty tired of coring and peeling and eating them as it is.
All those chewing on fresh fruits is just so over-rated, I tell you. Let’s dress it up and add more crunch to it, I say. So, this time around, I made Apple and Blueberry Crumble. What’s the difference between apple crisp and apple crumble, you ask?
What do you do when you have half a packet of marshmallows and it has all but stuck together in a bunch of sticky gooey mess (no thanks to the hot humid weather here)?
Do you:
1. throw it away
2. eat it anyway, sticky mess and all
3. do like what Foong does, turn it into something even more sinful and delicious!
As you can guess, I did option number three. Though the end result aren’t all that pretty looking but damn, these sure are sinful…
Back when I was younger, I always loved chewing on bits of cut sugar cane (after removing the skin and chopping it into tiny pieces) for its sweet juice before spitting the pulp out. It was like the healthy version of chewing gum. But, of course, at that age, I didn’t know it was healthier than sweets or chewing gum. I only knew it was sweet and fun to chew on.
I think I’ve not chewed on raw sugar cane for years already now. Even recently when we got a few stalks of sugar cane, I forgot all . . . → Read More: Health benefits of sugar cane
Flowers have always been the main ‘thing’ for Valentine’s Day but The Food Critic is not really big on giving me flowers (the last time I got a bouquet of flowers was so many years ago, I don’t even remember when it was).
Still, this year, I got a pleasant surprise when he came back with a plainly wrapped bouquet of white calla lilies and gruffly gave it to me (yes, The Food Critic gets very gruff when it comes to sweet, romantic stuff). Now, calla lilies may not seem romantic to some people but it is quite meaningful . . . → Read More: Valentine flowers, chocolate roses and heart-shaped chocolate mousse cake
I’ve loved chocolate brownies for the longest time ever so it is not a surprise, really, when I baked one for my birthday and almost finished the whole lot myself. Hey, I did say almost…so I am not all that greedy. There were some left for The Food Critic and Mr Picky. Anyway, I found the Best Ever Chocolate Brownie recipe over at Recipes2Share and since it is pretty simple, I thought I might as well bake it as a treat for myself. Heck, I did turn older and eating chocolate brownies is very, very comforting. So, I pigged . . . → Read More: I baked my own birthday cake which is not a cake but the best ever chocolate brownie
For the longest time, I have always, always loved a type of rich, thick chocolate truffles I know as chocolate rum ball. I used to buy it from a bakery near my home when I was younger and then later, the bakery closed down. Over the years, I would search bakery after bakery for my favourite chocolate rum ball but I’d never get to find any that’s as good as the ones sold by the bakery I used to frequent as a child.
Sigh.
It struck me recently that I could make my own chocolate rum ball. I could . . . → Read More: Easy chocolate truffles
