It's SMALL FAN's 6 years old birthday and he requested for an angry bird cake for his birthday party.  I kinda check out the market and it cost $100 plus to $200 to ordered one.  So I thought maybe I can try making one myself.  First of all I cut down on the $$$$ and I also get to control what goes in the cake.  I'm not a really good baker, not too confident of making fondant angry birds, so

Wah...it's been almost 2 months since I last updated my blog...guess I'm really getting lazy. Well, here's a nice recipe that I stumble recently will looking for a dessert to bring over for a family dinner to celebrate our national day.  Really simple but it was a real hit with the kids, I have to stop my son from eating more so his cousins can have it. Guess what I made?  Nobaked Lemon

Ok, I admit, I have been neglecting my blog lately, having lots of problem with my laptop so I wasn't able to load any pictures and stuff.  But this recipe, I just have to pen it down cause it's really yummy and relatively healthy. It's Chicken Shepherd Pie, ok, you might be thinking hey....Shepherd Pie is Shepherd Pie, a pie made from Lamb, so what do you mean by Chicken Shepherd Pie?   Well,

My Dad gave me a whole box of Persimmons, I have been trying really hard to finish it before it spoil, but it's just too much.  So, I search the net for a recipe to help me make use of these ripe persimmons and I found this. The recipe was relatively easy to make and the cake actually tasted quite good, however, it tasted a litlle too chewy for my liking. Will probably make it again if I have

Personally not a fan of Gingerbread, but as the Christmas Season is coming, I thought I just have to try making some for the kids.  So, search the net and found this Gingerbread Cookies that include orange zest and decided to give it a try.  I replaced the corn syrup with Molasses to give it a more gingerbread taste. The final product turns out quite nice but I think I did not add enough ginger

I bought a bottle of Ribena cordial for qutie sometime, have been trying to do something to make used of it.  So finally, decided to make a Ribena Cheesecake with it.  The cheesecake turns out beautifully although I personally fill that it tasted more like Jelly then cheesecake.  Maybe I added too much yoghurt and gelatin, next time I may reduce the yogurt to 150ml and gelatin to 1.5 tablespoon

I always find it really difficult to get my kids to eat their breakfast and ended up having loads and loads of different type of breakfast cereals in my fridge waiting to be thrown away. So I decided that I should do something to get rid of these cereals, search the web and found this Cheerio cookies from Food.com which is perfect to use up my Cheerio.  Beside being able to get rid of my Cheerio,

I haven't been very diligent in writing my blog, was going through a lazy phase, but I'm still trying out dishes and all. Especially during the weekend, I was kinda in a multinational mood, was trying out different countries' dishes during the last few weekends.  Here's Japanese sushi.  I served it with Mayonese instead of wasabi and my boy loves it.  I have to make this dish repeatedly over 2

Brought Baby FAN to a shopping trip one day and a lady offered her a piece of home-made milk bread as a sample for the Bread Machine that she was selling and Baby FAN loves it.  So I thought, maybe I can try making a milk bread myself. Of course, I don't have a Bread Machine, the one that the lady was selling cost $300 plus, so I ended up kneading the bread with my bare hands for 15 minutes.  It

Suddenly got the urge to make pizza and thought that it would be fun to get the kids involved in assembling it.  So, I plough through my stack of recipes and found this one that I used to make when SMALL FAN was a baby.  I top the pizza with ham and cheese for the kids, as well as pork floss and mayo.  I think the kids really enjoy putting the pork floss onto the pizza while eating it at the same

It's Big FAN's big day, so decided to bake a special cake for him.  Big FAN is not a cake person, he don't like sweet stuff, so decided that instead of making a cake for him, maybe I make something that he would like to eat like ice cream?  So search the net for an ice cream cake recipe and stumble upon this Black Forest Ice Cream Cake from BIY.com.  Decided to do a similar cake like this and

National Day is coming.  My sis-in-law invited us to her place to celebrate.  I decided to make some cupcakes and get the kids to decorate it there at her place.  However, I was worried that all the icing and creaming maybe a little too messy (don't want her to be cleaning the house after we left), so decide to do a not so messy icing, that is, a fondant.  At least it's like playing playdough for

I'm still in my quest for the perfect donut recipes as that's the only type of bread that my Baby FAN eat (beside ice-cream bread).

My kid's love soup, have tried making pumpkin soup, broccoli soup for them.  So this time round I tried making Cauliflower Soup.  What I like about this soup is that it doesn' need to use flour to thicken up but uses potatoes instead.  The kids gobble up the soup and Hubby says it tasted a little rough, not as smooth as the normal soup I made (I think it's the potatoes).

Mini Cup Cakes 50g soft margarine 50g sugar 50g self-raising flour 1 egg Preheat oven to 180 deg celsius.  Place 26 paper mini muffin cases on a large baking sheet or for my case, I made a slightly bigger one and use 12

I wanted to bake a chocolate cheesecake for my hubby's birthday and found this recipe at allrecipes.com and thought it seems simple enough to do.  I half the original recipes as I just wanted a small cake that is not too much for the family.  I think I might have overbaked the cheesecake as it was rather hard and dense when we cut it.  Hubby say it was a little too rich for him.  I also think so

Recently I seemed to be in the mood for natural product as I have such successful story with honey.  I just have to share it here.  I have started giving my SMALL FAN 1 tsp of honey every night before he sleep.  Heard from a honey seller that honey actually helps promote good sleep, but in any case, the purpose of my giving SMALL FAN the honey is for his sinus.  SMALL FAN used to have such bad

Have been experimenting with Cheesecakes recently and stumble upon this recipe from my son's school's calender. A stawberry cheesecake using gelatin and cream cheese instead of whipping cream. The result turn out quite well except for the jelly top as I think I added too much green colouring so it lost it's transparency and so the kiwi that was layered in between didn't come out. However as

Baby FAN prefers savoury food to sweet stuff, so have been experimenting with savoury food that is portable and I can prepare ahead of time. While searching the net, found this recipe from allrecipes.com where they use cream cheese as the main ingredients for the muffin. So decided to give it a try. They muffins turn out beautifully and it actually tasted quite good. But....sigh...my baby

Was shopping with my little girl at Carrefour and when saw that they sell BOW TIE pasta and I just have to buy it. Saw the use of Bow Tie pasta in many of the kids cooking recipes so I just have to buy and try it. Have been looking around for it in NTUC Fairprice and Giant but just can't find it. So, today, I could a Bow Tie Pasta Salad for the kids and they love it. My Baby Girl actually ate

SMALL FAN do not need to go to school today as it was a holiday in lieu of Youth Day. So with the 2 kids at home, I thought I made a simple and light lunch instead. So decided to make a chicken salad and served it with wholemeal bread. I used a cookie cutter to cut out the shape of a gingerbread man for my boy and teddy bear for my girl and SMALL FAN loves it.Here's the recipe :1 chicken

My Baby FAN loves potato salad, but I was worried about the high sodium and MSG content in normal salad cream, so decided that I made the salad cream myself using yoghurt instead. It tasted quite nice and really healthy...kudos, a definite stable for my family. I made this for a potluck dinner and everyone seems to enjoy it without knowing that there is no salad cream involved.Potato

Have always wanted to try this recipe as the photos from Allrecipes.com always looks so yummy. But always hesitated as I can't imagine eating all these cakes by myself. So last Saturday, I finally get the chance to bake it and bring it to my friend's place for a potluck dinner. The cake turns out wonderfully, but as I baked it in advance and by the time I brought it over to my friend's house,

SMALL FAN has been asking me bake cake with him and he was hoping to make some Gingerbread Man Cookies. However as the weather here was quite hot and cookies was too heaty to eat during this period, I decided to make him some Gingerbread Man Bread instead. It was a little messy as the dough turns out to be quite sticky, I think I never knead it long enough although I was perspiring all over

Baby FAN developed a viral fever the past 2 weeks which lasted for almost 7 days...poor girl was really getting skinny. Her fever went up to 39.3 and we have to bring her to KKH for a blood test just to make sure she has not contacted H1N1 or other disease. On day 3 of her fever, I also developed fever. I started researching for natural fever cure and found it in www.earthclinic.com. So I

Tried making this Frittas for Baby FAN but I think because I don't have sun dried tomatoes, so I used fresh tomatoes instead and the frittas doesn't turn out as well and Baby FAN don't really like it.

Baby FAN has been really really picky with her food these few days, she simply refuse to eat anything that is normal like rice, porridge, noodles and potatoes. She just wants to eat food that she can picks up with her fingers like biscuits and yogurt. So tried my hand at making some mini muffins for her to try, hope she likes it.Pizzazzy Pizza Muffins(adapted from Super Baby Food Book)

Baby FAN seems to be going into the fuzzy eater phase. She simply refuse to open her mouth for her porridge or puree. So feeding her becomes a struggle nowsadays.

It's my Baby FAN's birthday, decided to do something different this time round. Instead of ordering a really large cake, decided to make some cupcakes (using the chocolate oatmeal cupcakes recipes from my previous post) and then get the kids (basically all my nieces and nephews) to decorate. I think they enjoy decorating the cakes, although I think I should have made more as they kept asking to

SMALL FAN is getting more and more picky with food, he always says he don't want rice but he wants Koko Crunch, Sweets, Ice-cream, MacDonald etc... Luckily, he seems to be ok with drinking soup. He used to love creamy soup, but nowsaday, he likes clear soup and will refuse to taste any soup that looks like there is some residue on it. So, have been trying to cook good soup for him to drink, so

Have been craving to make brownie ever since my good friend gave us a bar of really good quality dark chocolate. As usual, would want to make a healthier version of the brownie, so source the net and stumble upon this recipe from recipesource.com. This recipe uses oat. The brownie turns out slightly dry for my liking and not as sweet tasting (maybe because I cut down the sugar too much). But

My SMALL FAN has this really weird habit, he only wears one pair of shoes every where he goes, he will only change his shoes when it gets too small and it really hurts his feet. As he don't wear socks, he shoes tends to get really smelly. Tried washing and soaking it in detergent but it doesn't really help. So, search the web and found this website Helium about removing shoes odors, here are

Tried making sweet bun today as Baby FAN really loves bread. I tried to make it healthier by adding in some formula milk powder, was trying to get Baby FAN to take her formula milk as she just refuse to drink it. I tried putting everything she eats with formula milk and think I'm getting crazy. Well, the bun turns out too dense and more cake-like then bread-like, but it tasted quite good.Here's

It's a rainy Sunday, so decided to stay home and eat breakfast instead of our usual sunday breakfast at the Kopitiam downstairs. Tried my hand at making Spinach Pancake, it tasted quite nice, more like a crepe then pancake. SMALL FAN likes it with nutella and peanut butter.

SMALL FAN is finally free from cough after 5 long months of coughing. We brought him to a pediatrician in Bishan, an Indian doctor, she was very detail and serious looking. After checking him and asking me about his cough, she gave him a med for allergies (Cetirizine), a medicine for his Sinus (Singular), a nose spray to stabilize his nose (Nasonex)and a puff for cough and phelgm(Seretide).

Baby FAN has been showing interest in picking things up and chewing at it. She loves to chew on those teething biscuits, the really hard type (she can chew at it for half-an-hour), recently I upgraded her to eating those softer and crumpier biscuits and Gerber's Strawberry puff, she is able to eat it without gagging. She just loves to chew on stick object, give her a spoon and she can chew at

Tried making some healthy cookies to see if I can use this recipes again for Christmas. The cookies tasted really good but somehow I think I put too much eggs (I use 3 small eggs as I felt that the egg I bought was really tiny), so the dough was really too soft to cut-out shapes, got so frustrated that I ended up just making it into round one. But I think I will try again next time using less

SMALL FAN stopped coughing for 2 weeks and now his cough is back. Went to see his doc the week before and doc suggested Antibiotic again. This time, both doc and myself decided to wait and see first before getting him on the med again. So he was on normal flu medicine for 1 week but still no effect and the phlegm seems to be getting more.Desperate mommy then tried looking thru the net for soup

Have a sudden craving for Subway Cookies but was worried about the nutritional value of the cookies as I'm currently breastfeeding and don't want too much sugar to get into the milk. So I decided to baked my own cookies. Got this recipe from All Recipes.com and modified it a little to make it more nutritious.
