OMGoodness

I smelt the aroma of sambal from the living room so I slowly pranced into the kitchen and to my delight! Mum was cooking Sambal Prawns. My fav dish of all. I could eat prawns everyday esp sambal prawns!

It's usually the most simple of dishes that taste the best.

Shortbread anyone?

So I was gonna meet a bunch of my friends one night and decided to kill time in the afternoon by baking Cranberry Shortbread for them.

It turned out sweet tasting and super duper buttery....I mean shortbreads are meant to be buttery after all. My fav shortbreads are those from Walkers or Marks and Spencers. But I hardly eat shortbreads actually....maybe twice a year or so. I don't usually buy them, I prefer to indulge in cakes and breads :)

Anyway, so I packed them in individual mini bags (from Daiso - cute!) and off I went to spread the love.




With Christmas around the period, I need to get started on baking more stuff for my friends....I should start finding some "Christmassy" recipes :) hmm...or I could always make my brownies for them, Becky lurves my brownies....but I havent made them in a long long long time!

What is your ultimate dessert for Christmas? I have tons! But I guess if I must choose, it would be my mum's or aunty audrey's trifle :) I know I would get to taste that only on Christmas Day!

We have a winner!

"We have a winner!" that's the first words which came out of my mum's mouth when she tried this. The Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Bar is one recipe which will be on the top of my list for the time being. It's SUPER easy to make and it's chewy texture tastes like brownies!!!

I baked a new batch last night for my girlfriends but I realised I didnt have eggs! But I still carried on baking the without the egg and it turned out perfectly fine too! Less chewy and more crumbly but still good. I used wholemeal flour instead of white flour too and it still tasted wicked. But the recipe calls for 1/2 cup of white sugar and 1/2 cup of brown sugar, I used 1 cup of brown sugar instead and I feel 1 cup is still alot. I shall use lesser sugar the next time round.

Delish I tell ya.

Lemony Snickets!

Was looking through my recipes and I came across this Lemon Loaf and it's simplicity attracted me so I decided to bake it. It's not exactly a loaf but it's baked in a loaf pan so it's called loaf. I added cranberries to the loaf cake and with it's lemon glaze, it tasted perfect.

This Cranberry Lemon Loaf with lemon glaze is definately a keeper.

Perfect on a sunday with english tea and a good book. Basically it's so simple, just butter, flour, grated lemon zest, lemon juice etc...

Be tempted.

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! :)

be tempted.

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.

My obsession with berries...lead to this muffin

A simple muffin recipe. Oatmeal Blueberry Muffin. I decided to try the recipe because I was attracted to it by it's "healthy" ingredients....

Made mostly of oats, brown sugar, flour and loads of blueberries! It doesn't taste like a regular muffin, it's more clumped together and not as cakey....

As you can tell by now, I'm so in love with berries! I just can't get enough of them :)

be tempted.
