The word for the season…breathless! Christmas is not even a month over and Chinese New Year is upon us already. Because Chinese New Year dates depend on the lunar calendar, once in a while CNY lands a little too early in January. It’s even more exciting if Hari Raya also ends up around the same … More Furikake Cheese Crackers
Once in a while a craving jumps out at me and this was a classic example of “I miss onde-onde but I’m sure I can make a keto version of it” moment. Chinese New Year is coming up and it’s time to bake those cookies and prepare for feeding the hordes! Well…not exactly. 2022 seems … More Onde-Onde Tarts
So we’ve been having an exciting time in the house! We fostered a dog for a few days, managed to find the dog a new loving home, and celebrated a bunch of birthdays too! So it’s been a busy time and I’m so happy that things have equilibrated a little for now. Lola the Cavoodle … More Tofu Fish Cake
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
We’re in adjustment mode again. Both kids have started university term and all of a sudden the house is quiet again. I think the person having to adjust the most is the dog because for the past 6 months, people have been mostly at home because of the circuit breaker. Lola is so used to … More Keto Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Puffs
So following on my post a couple of days ago, I had bought a couple of keto curry puffs that were overpriced, dry and tasteless. It was such a disappointment. This was because I hadn’t eaten curry puffs for all of 7 years since I went on a low carb diet. I had been so … More Low Carb Chicken Curry Puff
I don’t often do impulse bakes but today, I felt compelled to do so to redeem keto/low carb bakes. I was working from home today and coping with a bunch of online meetings when kid#1 started to ask for lunch. And so being too busy to prepare lunch, I suggested trying to order from a … More Low Carb Sausage Rolls
I think we are due a mini-celebration. It’s just past a month since Singapore went DORSCON (Disease Outbreak Response System Condition) Orange. Today our Covid19 positive number is 178, and no deaths yet. It is no mean feat given the amount of contact tracing (yes, the police were involved in this and obviously were better … More Spicy Salami Chips
Rats…They fought the dogs and killed the cats,And bit the babies in the cradles,And ate the cheeses out of the vats,And licked the soup from the cook’s own ladles.Split open the kegs of salted sprats,Made nests inside men’s Sunday hats,And even spoiled the women’s chatsBy drowning their speakingWith shrieking and squeakingIn fifty different sharps and … More Low Carb Cheese (CNY Rat) Cookies
Did I ever share that I have cravings? This Christmas season I think a memory came back to me of eating an old world German sugar cookie at Christmas. It was recently when I started trawling the internet that I discovered these delectable little things are called “pfeffenusse” and are spicy little sugar cookies from … More Low Carb Pfeffenuss (German Sugar Cookie)
