I can’t help loving soups and congee. Especially when the weather turns cooler and I’ve been nursing a bout of bronchitis. I’ve been on a steady supply of sugar-free lozenges and I’ve had enough of it. I needed something to soothe my wobbly tummy and yet have strongish flavours since I seem to have lost … More Instant Pot Low Carb Seafood Congee
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
I wonder how many of you out there have made New Year resolutions. New Year is the time where most people take a break from the seasonal feasting and try to turn over a new leaf. Gym membership sign ups and new diets peak at this time of the year. The truth is that I … More Low Carb Cinnamon and Blueberry N’oatmeal
And so I’m finally home and back to my IP…2 weeks away from my baby – how did I bear it??? Greece was great, but there was only that much souvlaki and tzaziki that I could manage. The weather was cold, ranging from 0-10 deg C, and with a sharp wind that cut through us … More Instant Pot Beef Soup
It’s Christmas Day in Greece and I’m missing home. We’ve been traveling around Athens, Delphi and Kalambata for the past week, and had really great souvlaki and grilled seafood, but I don’t know what it is about traveling, I just miss the simplicity of home flavours and perhaps the kind of food we take so … More Instant Pot Turkey Noodle Soup
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Every Christmas I entertain over 30 relatives in my squashy apartment – it’s noisy and chaotic but fun and D and I get the kick of big cooking once a year. It does take time and organization – about 2 days of food prep and cooking, not … More Instant Pot Beef and Port Wine Stew
Have you ever had to urgently feed a crowd of people? This happened recently when we were having a potluck and discovered that the majority of the guests had decided to bring cupcakes, cupcakes and more cupcakes. Of course, someone like kid#2 would have been in pure heaven to live on cupcakes alone but the … More Instant Pot Sausage and Bean Pasta Sauce
I’m so glad the A levels are over! It’s been a long year for kid#1 and nail biting for me to see his vacillations through the year. Kid#1 is not a typical Singaporean kid. He doesn’t study at long stretches in seems to spend an inordinate amount of time dancing and watching videos when he … More Low Carb Breakfast Noodles
And now it seems that I have started an Instant Pot craze among my friends. Since I started posting Instant Pot recipes my friends have gradually been won over and I think more than 10 have already invested in their own Instant Pots. I seriously think I should be paid a commission or become a … More Instant Pot Garlic and Sherry Chicken
I have been dreaming of a little herb garden for the longest time. Unfortunately the balcony of my apartment is subject to fierce tropical sunlight and gusty winds thanks to the high floor. Only the hardiest plants survive these conditions and I have not succeeded in growing herbs successfully for the longest time. This weekend … More Low Carb Swedish Meatball Stroganoff
