This may have been the love of first sight but definitely not the love of the first taste. As soon as I saw One-pot Vietnamese Beef Stew pic on Pinterest I was sure I wanted to try it straight away. I was particularly interested in trying all those spices that I have never used before (such […]

Pinterest challenge: roasted veggie, curried avocado and coconut rice bowls
This is my first Pinterest challenge this year! So I thought I will pick something on the healthy side. I think we all have been guilty of heavy eating during holidays and I am sure every one of you would love to start fresh and come back to a healthy eating routine. This awesome and […]
Pinterest challenge: slow cooker coconut ginger chicken & vegetables
I had this recipe saved on Pinterest for sooo long. Almost as long as Pinterest existed actually! Back then I did not have a slow cooker or a casserole dish, so this was never an option. And I am glad that I got it out of my system now! Don’t get me wrong, it was […]
Pinterest challenge: honey salmon in a pouch
Hey lovely readers! Are you ready for Monday? I think this recipe is a good one to make for lunch or dinner ;-). I am trying to come back to my healthier eating habits as I slipped down from the previous week. I cooked a fish in a pouch last month or so, but this […]
Pinterest challenge: apple and cheddar quiche with hash-brown crust
This time I took a double challenge. I practically combined two recipes from Pinterest! I loved the flavour match in this quiche, but I did not want all that dough at our dinner table, so I have decided to seek for alternative. I once baked this quiche that had hash-brown crust. I loved the idea […]
Pinterest challenge: Chinese dumplings
I have wanted to learn how to make Chinese dumplings for a while now. My father in law gave me a dumpling cube for my birthday (yey!) and that spurred me into my Pinterest challenge to make this type of dumplings. I was nervous to begin with as I had never made Chinese dumplings before […]
Pinterest challenge: mini berry clafoutis
I wanted to try this berry clafoutis recipe for a while now. After counting how many calories it would have (for my diet, you know) I realised it’s not so bad. Only 148.60 calories for one portion (one 10th of the whole bake)! I have decided to go ahead and bake half of the recipe […]
Pinterest challenge: green chickpea & chicken coconut curry
I picked this recipe from The Crepes Of Wrath because I was yearning for something warm last weekend (really chilli here in Bedford!!!). It did came out great! We loved every bit of it and had some for lunch as well! I used kale leaves to substitute the swiss chard (did not have any in […]
Pinterest challenge: ginger soy sessame fish in a pouch
These couple of months I have been desperate to start eating healthily. I have been tempted too many times by cakes and wine! My common excuse is to find something to celebrate. Every time I let myself eat pretty much everything I want I hear myself saying ‘Never mind, I will start new a diet […]
Pinterest challenge: chocolate caramel and pecan turtle clusters
I thought these mini sweat treats would be perfect for our house warming party, but never ended up making them. I eventually made them for a different reason, a serious need of chocolate fix! I found the recipe at Inspired Dreamer, but was quite disappointed with the missing instructions. It did not explain how to […]
Pinterest challenge: chicken piccata
I chose this recipe the other day when Joni felt like chicken for dinner. It turned out really tasty, and creamy, and everything you want from dinner! This recipe from the clever carrot (love the title) is definitely going to my commonly cooked food list :).CHICKEN PICCATA adopted from The Clever Carrot 680g boneless, skinless […]
Pinterest challenge: berry, chocolate and oat cookies
I wanted to bake some cookies to be send to our aunt as a thank you gesture (I really hope she have received them already). This recipe from Lady and Pups have been perfect. I used mixed berries instead of blueberries as I had them. I particularly loved the idea of browning butter for it. […]
Pinterest challenge: bacon, egg and cheese pastry wrap
Extended weekend often means we can enjoy brunch! Wake up late and eat full on breakfast, what’s not to like? Me and Joni prefer breakfast that has egg and bacon with it! No wonder why I tried this bacon, egg & cheese pastry wrap from The Kitchen Life of a Navy Wife. I took […]
Pinterest challenge: slow cooker moroccan chicken
I don’t know about you, but I love Pinterest! As mentioned many times before I got addicted to it two years ago and by now I have over 7000 pins (click here to see my pins) and over 1000 likes. Although I love pinning craft ideas, majority of my likes are related to food. But […]
Watercolour challenge: forest in snow
As you may have already noticed I enjoy taking challenges, and for a good reason! Challenges are good for achieving goals. Not all types of goals of course, but if you want to learn something or get to start doing something then this method is the best (at least in my experience). In the past […]
