I’ve been slightly immersed in all things Korean at the moment. I took in one episode of Squid Game and reeled…the playground game Red Light, Green Light was so horrifying and the music so creepy I was deeply traumatized. I think I may not survive further episodes. It kind of reminded me of the catastrophic … More Low Carb Korean Egg Sandwich
Since the onset of the Covid19 pandemic, I’ve had plenty of reasons to be thankful to be living in Singapore. The most obvious of course is that besides the outbreak in the migrant worker dormitories, the community situation has remained controlled which allows us to move around relatively freely. The second of course is that … More Low Carb Murtabak
February has turned out to be an interesting month. It was just over 2 weeks ago when we celebrated Chinese New Year. January was all about the crowds, new year preparations, buying sprees, marketing and supermarketing. Then the Covid19 outbreak happened and suddenly the face of Singapore has changed. Shopping centers are thinly populated as … More Kimchi Chaffles
So I admit it. I’ve jumped onto the chaffle bandwagon. Love it or hate it, the new keto craze for chaffles (cheese and egg waffles) is here to stay. I didn’t quite understand the chaffle craze since the family is pretty happy with my cheddar cheese and chives waffle recipe. But I guess that there … More Okonomiyaki Chaffles
I didn’t realise that my 6th diaversary (diabetes anniversary) went by last month without me noticing. In 2013 when I presented abruptly with an HbA1C of >15% it was as though I had stepped into an ugly future with restrictions and medications. I remember I spent the first year coping and grieving. The why’s were … More Keto Buns – My Tweaks
Today’s bake was a celebration! My helper D is back from her 1 month vacation. It was surreal not to have to get up at the crack of dawn to walk the dog and prepare the dog food, or plan the household chores and thaw out meats for the rest of the day’s meals. In … More Low Carb Curry Sausage Rolls
There are some things I haven’t made for the longest time because it seemed like too much work. But friend S from Australia who is one of the most enthusiastic travelers I have met, recently trawled through all the supermarkets in Singapore and found low sugar kaya and asked a couple of us if this … More Low Carb Kaya Jam
I’m not big on breakfast nowadays. Dawn phenomenon makes it hard to manage the morning glucose spikes with breakfast and I actually often skip breakfast or start my meals at noontime when things settle down. But holiday time is a great time to relax and take time to make breakfast. The kids have started to … More Low Carb Breakfast Crepe with Chocolate Sauce
There has been a lot of misinterpreted nutritional information that we have grown up with. Most of my contemporaries have grown up avoiding eating too many eggs for fear of increasing cholesterol levels. Fortunately these fears are unfounded and eggs consistently increase HDL (the good cholesterol) and most people don’t see an increase in the … More Instant Pot Eggs En Cocotte
The New Year has kicked off with a busy buzz. I often have people over to my place and today I had my mentoring group over for breakfast and fellowship. Hubs was gifted a small boneless ham, so I decided to glaze it and serve it with applesauce. If I were on my own I … More Low Carb Biscuits
