A bunch of lonely apples - lonely no more!

So I had a bunch of red shiny apples in my fridge and nobody in the family except me seem to be the only one eating them....and with a whole bunch left, I couldn't eat all of them so I decided to use some of them (before they all go bad) and whip up something I know my mum will love....Cinnamon Apple Muffins!


Love cinnamon....I always use more cinnamon than required in recipes. The apples add a naturally sweet taste to the muffin....very wholesome taste and the cinnamon just omphs! it up :)
I prefer those red soft apples rather then the big Fuji apples...I dont know why though. Perhaps it's the sweet taste,soft crunch and the size is just nice for me!

Anyway I'm so zonked out right now. I'm gonna sleep now and perhaps never wake up.....

Granny loves

I always try to make time for my Grand Aunt Kitty and since this whole week I am on leave due to the company's policy of "Force Common Leave", I paid her a visit at her old aged home. Aunty Kitty means alot to me. She has been with my family ever since I was born. She used to live with us but due to certain reasons, my mum decided the home was a better place for her since there is nurses' care for her there 24/7. It's a nice place...the home...but at times she gets lonely and even gets bullied by the other old people living there. I dont understand how humans (OLD somemore!!!) can be so nasty and mean.


ANYWAY, before I get more upset about that, I decided to make Old Fashioned Vanilla and Jam Cakes for her. I purposely chose this recipe because the cake is soft (she can only bite soft food) and yeah she loves sweet treats like me too. I woke up early and baked it fresh for her. The cake is moist and the vanilla flavour is filled with sweetness and inside is a dollop of raspberry jam. My mum loves it too. She said it's another winner. I think so too.



Everytime when my mum and I visit her, we always bring her out to eat....and her lunch will always ONLY consist of ice-cream. I think she is worse than me when it comes to sweets. I'm not a big fan of ice-cream but oh boy! You should see her eyes light up whenever her order of ice-cream arrives. Her favourite is of course Classic Chocolate. Who's isnt?

If only Brunch was this good everyday

Was super super super busy at work till my camera is just storming with pictures of my recent bakes and makes.

Anyhoo, I always wondered how wholewheat pancakes will taste like so I decided to make Wholewheat Oatmeal Pancakes.

And you know what? It turned out delish! Especially topped with bananas and maple syrup, it's oh-so-delightful.

Recipe is so so simple. Milk, instant oats, wholewheat flour, a bit of brown sugar and chocolate chips if you want! :)

Wake up and smell the Coffee

I love coffee. The smell...the taste....the fact that coffee can be used to make/bake/brew so many different kinds of stuff, I simply adore coffee.

Was busy with work the past weeks so I didnt have time to post up any of my recent bakes but this is one of them....

I call it the Coffee Love Cake.

It's so simple to bake that it took me less than an hour to prepare, mix and put it in the oven.

The icing is the easiest! Icing sugar, Coffee essence (or Coffee powder/ granules), Butter etc...

The texture is soft and oh so yummilious light! It's good!

Only thing is I only had one slice and it was gone the next night.

Berry goodness

I lurve custard ever since I was a young girl. And I absolutely love berries too. Any kind of berries! Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries....unfortunately, raspberries are rather expensive here in Singapore so it's best to get blueberries as an alternative to any berry dessert.

It was a lazy Sunday afternoon so I decided to make Oatmeal Blueberry Custurd Trifle. It's so simple and hassle free. My family loved them and it makes a very nice dessert. Not exactly that fattening too because I'm quite the health freak myself.

I made a simple fuss-free vanilla pound cake the day before so I used the cake as the base then I poured vanilla custard over the cake, then I placed blueberries on top of the custard and I reapeated the steps again. I topped it off with crushed granola bar and more blueberries. It's delish and really a comfort food. It takes less than 10 mins to make.
