Baby Monthly Photos

My husband and I love food! That's why we decided to dress our little cobbler in food costumes for his monthly photo!   Do you have any suggestions for our next baby? We're running out of ideas!

Baked Stuffed Apple

Here's a great way to enjoy your regular apples. I was thinking of making apple pie lately but I find it too time consuming to make the dough, so I searched for something easier which is this. I used really large apples for this recipe but you can use smaller ones too and that would …

Chai Tea Ice Cream

Last week I asked people I know what kind of ice cream flavor would be nice to make. I got a lot of suggestions like strawberry, blueberry cheesecake, matcha and a lot more. The suggestion I liked most was milk tea. One of my favorite kinds of tea is Chai tea. Good thing we have this …

Vietnamese salad

I've been craving so much for salad lately and thank God my husband is here to save me! He made this really good Vietnamese salad and paired it with oven-baked pork. What I love about this salad is it is very light (but I ate 3 servings LOL) and refreshing because of the basil and …

Tablea Ice Cream

It's been very hot lately and there's nothing better than to beat the heat with something cold like ice cream! Below, I'm sharing my own tablea ice cream recipe with you. This is very rich, creamy and dark, and has the right balance of bitterness and sweetness. This is highly addicting and once you start …

They contain a lot of vitamins and minerals, some of which are vitamin C, thiamin, potassium, manganese - four very essential nutrients. You can cook and eat sweet potatoes in many and different kinds of ways …

Baby shower no. 1

Ahoy! It's a Boy! was our theme for our first son's baby shower in 2015. I love DIY-ing stuff so almost everything for the party was made by us because we didn't want to spend so much for it. I can't remember why we chose the theme but it was probably because it was a fun …

Chicken Noodle Soup for Kids

Here's a tasty yet simple soup which toddlers will enjoy. I bought the pasta from Healthy Options - I'll show the pack on my next post.
