I made this Wednesday night… Some were mixed for Misua soup (I forgot to take shot, hehe)…. And these were separated for my son.

Thanks for looking! Happy Weekend everyone!

Yummy! I’m planning to make smoothie this weekend. And I got this from one of my recipe books…

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Makes 4 x 250ml glasses

2 (800g) fresh mangoes, peeled and seeded
1/2 cup (125ml) milk)
1 cup (250ml) buttermilk
1 tbsp caster sugar
2 scoops mango gelatin
50g blueberries

1. Place the mango, milk, buttermilk, sugar and gelatin in a blender and blend until smooth.
2. Pour into chilled glasses and serve garnished with the blueberries.

Enjoy your smoothie! I’ll share my photos later on…

It’s raining Saturday night and instead of dining out, we just cooked and had our dinner at the comfort of our home. And because it’s raining, we just thought it’s nice to have fried fish + steam vegetable…

Fried Fish…

Steam vegetable in process…

We had a sweet mango as our dessert afterwards…

Thanks for looking… have a wonderful week ahead…

Once I start browsing on cakes and cupcakes, I can’t stop looking for more unique styles and designs… and one that caught my attention was this cake-
a tux for the groom:: a tuxedo inspired cake complete with bow tie, flower and similar to one of tuxedo shirts..

Nice huh! And I was thinking this could be a great design for cuppies too, isn’t? I’m sure there are lots of this kind of cake in different form but I’m going to save this for inspiration and future reference,

Before another weekend comes, let me show you couple of foods we have prepared last Easter…

I baked this carrot cupcake…

It should have been all cupcakes but then I run out of cupcake paper so I made a small square cake for the remaining batter. Here it goes:

The little boy as usual do the sprinkling touch and the husband helped me to put the icing… We put fruity mentos at the middle that represents small egss, hehehe…. not really interesting look but it’s yummy! LOL! you have to taste it…. by the way, it’s a cream cheese icing on the top and my son just love it….

Still digging some more cake and cupcake designs this time with pet inspired cake…

the first one with littlest pet shop cake toppers… a nice birthday cake for those pet lovers…

I guess there’s also available pet supplies cake toppers that would go on that theme cake like a dog bowl for instance… I’m sure it looks really cute or maybe a bowl like cake for puppies, isn’t? I think I have seen one like that before… I just can’t remember where? hehe….

Then showing you next cupcakes with puppy-shaped cake topper candles… a nice design idea…

Before reading some articles on car insurance comparison, let me finish one last pending for this meme…

1. Which kitchen gadget would you need for preparing meals for the family (except the usual stove, microwave, knives, etc) and why?
~ food steamer. We minimize using oil lately hence we have our food steamer ready always.

2. What is your easiest and fastest meal in terms of preparation? Care to share how you do it?
~ steamed fish. Easy and no need to watch always.

3. Do you cook everyday? In batches? Please tell me your cooking schedule.
~ Yes I do cook everday… No particular cooking schedule but my busy time usually at night. When I prepare dinner I also include portion for the husband’s packed lunch. In the morning, I prepare breakfast for the boys. If in case, there’s no packed lunch prepared the previous night or no leftover (this seldom happened), I cook meal in the morning (I have to get up early in this case)… then this will be our lunch as well. Then cook again for dinner, etc…

4. Please share a recipe you have done.
~ it’s actually the husband’s recipe- his own version of vegetable tomato soup … I’m going to share it later on… it’s on our menu schedule next week.

5. Any advice on which seasonings I should have at all times?
~ soysauce, fish sauce (patis), ground pepper, iodized salt. We do have mixed herbs also, which we always put on salmon and some soup.
