It’s Chinese New Year or the Lunar New Year season! And the best thing about this festival is loads and loads of good food, especially cookies, cookies and more cookies. ~Yumz~
Yeah, as you well know, I am a real cookie monster and I have this thing for baking all sorts of desserts from cakes to cookies. It’s been awhile since I baked cookies in recent times (due to my cutting calories so that I could fit into a cheongsam I bought for the CNY!) so CNY is as good a reason as any to bake, bake and . . . → Read More: Who cares about calories when it comes to Chinese New Year cookies
You get an absolutely scrumptious moist and delicious chocolate dessert. Yep, when you combine a fruit, namely moist delicious, healthy dates, and chocolate to make a cake, you’d get a rich and moist chocolate cake. You thinks it sounds weird right? Well, you won’t even taste the dates when you bite into the cakes because it will melt into delicious chocolatey morsels in your mouth.
Trust me, it’s as good as it looks. And the best part about it is that it’s so moist and rich, you’d never want to bake regular chocolate cakes ever again. I made . . . → Read More: What happens when you combine fruit and chocolate?
I started dabbling with fondant and cake decoration for my daughter’s birthday earlier last month and who knew it can be so darn addictive! It is fun to decorate using fondant.
Here’ what I made for my daughter’s first birthday:
Yep, it’s my very first time making a princess/ doll cake and it’s loads of fun too. Best of all, it sure did impress quite a lot of our guests. (I baked a plain pound cake for the base, so I have time for the decoration.) Heheh..
What do you do if you have a craving for something chocolate with peanut butter and yet, you are too busy to bake a batch of peanut butter chocolate cookies from scratch? Well, you can absolutely make these!
These may look like any regular cookie but they are not. They are flourless and so easy to make, you will be tempted to make them again and again!
You just need peanut butter, chocolate chips, cocoa powder, Nutella, chopped almonds (optional), an egg and yogurt. Yep, you do not need to add sugar as the peanut butter and Nutella . . . → Read More: Easy peanut butter chocolate cookies or mini muffins
If you have read any of my earlier posts, like two years ago, you will have come across some of my posts where I bake till 1 or 2am in the night. Well, at that time, it was the only peaceful and quiet time for me to get some baking in.
Somehow, I am reverting back to old habits now… there is just something about the middle of the night that I love doing things on. I like to do my freelance writing work at this time of the night, I like to read at this time of . . . → Read More: Making monster eyes in the middle of the night
Every year, Halloween is a great time to stock up on…
Imported Halloween chocolates!!!
Yummm….
Halloween is not celebrated here. I know. But…who cares? I only care about the loads of imported ghostly chocolates…
There are eyeballs, lips, bloodied ears, fingers and toes…
These chocolates are not only wrapped in ‘fun’ packaging, but they are damn good too! Some has fudge filling and the best ones has got to be the peanut butter cups!!!
So, who cares if we celebrate Halloween here or not. I only want the chocolates!
Sundays are usually lazy, relaxing days for most people. Well, for most people except for mothers. Just like any other day, our job as mothers is never done. And on Sundays, when I am not at work, I have to cook for the family, do the house chores and take care of the kids. Unfortunately, my husband works on Sundays so I am usually home alone with the kids. So, when I am feeling particularly lazy on a Sunday, I would prepare one of my all-in-one meals or one-pot meals or one-dish meals, well, whatever you wanna call it.
