Hello! Its been a while since I cook anything, isnt it?
I hardly have the energy to these days, ever since.. like eternity ago?
Well at least these recipes are here to accompany me once my work gets a lil more balanced.
Here are some yummy and simple recipes from Prevention July 2010.
Mouth watering canteloupe. I know I can definitely make Gingered Cantaloupe Smoothie haha.
More of fruits and light meals... salad my fave! Easy to prepare with the condition I have the fresh supplies ready in my fridge..
However.. watermelon AND cheese??
Now on Cooking 101 (I really need to improve!)
Tasty, filling veggies..
And finally, be creative!
I came across this new product from Nestle during one of my groceries shopping trips.There are a few flavours; I think the other was Apple & Orange?
Anyway, I picked the Prune one.. I love love prunes..
Claims: Fortified with protein, calcium, iron and vitamin A, C, D, E.
The suggested serving method is to add 200ml hot milk per sachet.
There are 8 sachets in each pack. 28g per sachet.
Do I like it?
Not really. I didn't take this with milk though. Just hot water.
200ml of hot water would give you a very very watery consistency... and tasteless?
There are bits of prunes.. but don't expect chunks.. just bits.. tiny bits.
Tasted sourish and bland.. I dislike it the first time I tried it.
The next time, I tried with less water.. Better this time.
Faint hint of sweetness with the sourish prune bits.
I guess this is convenient for busy mornings if you don't care much about breakfast.
I'll just finish off the 8 sachets and bid Nestum Fruits goodbye!
We tried this dish at a restaurant some months back.
Deep fried lotus root - it was good, but a little too salty. Look what mom cooked:
I especially like the lotus root - crunchy and not too salty.
Stir fry mixed veggies with mushroom is like my staple.. black fungus is very nutritious. (I like it for its collagen hehe).
Steamed fish, mmmmmm thats pure fish essence, without added water! :D
Wooohoooo my all time favourite!
Momma makes the best pizza *grins*
Lots of mushroom, chicken chunks baked in yummy cheese, topped with red pepper.
Oh and tomato sauce too. I had this all day, lunch and dinner :)
The joys of staying with mom!
She has been pampering me with really healthy and delicious home cooked food :)
Tonight's dinner... home made wantan with veggie soup! Oh and steamed fish too, no rice. Hehe, I don't wanna pile on weights. (I didn't get to snap the fish - in the tums now hehe).
Ahh these are the healthy and yummy food that momma dearest prepared for me when I came back for a week's break. The good part is that I can eat lots of these without getting fat hee hee.
The first dish was Tang Yuen.
Little glutinuous balls cooked with cabbage, mushroom, dried prawn, prawns, chicken and chopped garlic.
Nutritious warm soup - happiness for my tummy! :D
Second one was San Yao Salad.
A mixture of lettuce, san yao, grilled chicken bits, apple, drizzled in non-fattening vinegar sauce.
To prepare sauce: Black vinegar, honey, garlic, soy sauce, water.
San yao is slippery, so becareful when you slice them yeh.
Its good to combat constipation (lots of fiber and gel).
*Happiness is being at home*
