So I’m a little on a dip and spread obsession at the moment. I have these terrible “snacky” moments where I seem to need to nibble on something in between. Nuts and cheese are pretty good low carb options for snacks although nuts are hard to regulate and I often eat more than I should … More Japanese-Style Chicken Liver Pate
I gave my second low carb talk today! It was fun hanging out with a bunch of ladies and sharing my own story and the journey of the past 5 years. I also figured that you can’t have a low carb talk without low carb food tasting and I decided to bring a bunch of … More Easy Spinach Dip
I think I’m in a Japanese phase at the moment. I didn’t realise it but after sequentially making Japanese cold tofu, Japanese beef stew, Japanese cauliflower rice inari and now Japanese curry mussels I suspect that my subconscious is embracing the land of the rising sun. I remember growing up learning to eat Japanese food. … More Instant Pot Japanese Curry Mussels
I just had a brainwave today. I bought some inari on one of my forays to little groceries in search of low carb options. Inari sushi is a lovely sushi item that is a sushi rice filled fried tofu pocket. It can be served with plain sushi rice (my kids used to love this) or … More Low Carb Inari
I’m seldom not hungry. The very name of this blog should give you a hint of that…most parts of the day I do think of what has been lined up for the next meal, much like most Singaporeans who literally live to eat. So I knew something was wrong when I was at hub’s medical … More Cold Tofu in Sesame Sauce
It’s the second last day of 2017…I’ve finally opened all the Christmas presents and set up my new Nespresso machine (present to myself…bought the machine and told hubs this was his Christmas present to me, only to be told in return that I had gifted him with a golf driver for Christmas!). There are still … More Caramelized Onion Dip
Why is Easter linked to eggs? Apparently the tradition of Easter eggs was brought into the United States by immigrant Germans. Possibly it was the idea of new life that is the message of Jesus’ resurrection on Easter Sunday, and out new lives in Christ as a result. Needless to say, there was a Willy … More Low Carb Curry Egg Mayo Handroll
So kid #2 is finally back from her school trip to the UK. She had a whale of a time although I suspect the teachers did not because we chatted with one of her teachers at the airport who said that she was getting too old for this kind of overseas school trip! In keeping … More Double Egg Dip
I love markets. I recently earned a dirty look from kid#2 – she is going on a school trip to the UK and one of the stops is Borough Market…and I asked her if she would buy me mushrooms and cheese from there 😂. Every time I travel I will usually visit a local market … More Whitebait Fritters
I am very very pleased with myself. In line with the whole Chinese New Year theme, I decided to try remaking a Chinese food all time favorite: dumplings or potstickers. I used to make dumplings all the time…kid #1 was an insatiable dumpling monster as a preschooler. In fact, to this day he waits … More Low Carb Chinese Potstickers
