二零一一年八月六日


美丽的星期六,因为不用上班,所以美丽。:p   我提议二嫂一起做果冻月饼,那是我在 http://kristygourmet.blogspot.com/2009/10/coconut-fruits-jelly-mooncake.html 找到的食谱。 现在是火龙果的季节,处处都能看见它的身影, 所以就做了火龙果果冻月饼。

dang dang dang dang...  成品的颜色很美吧? 完全没放颜色素哦!

沙拉 Salad

二零一一年八月七日


很久没有做沙拉了,这是我最爱吃的‘千岛酱沙拉’。

通常我会用红苹果,青苹果,香肠,杂菜 (mixed vege), 蟹条和通心粉。 有时候我也会放一些虾,那就更好吃了。 材料简单,做法容易,切切切,拌拌拌,就得了。

我通常会做一大盆,放在冰箱里,然后跟家人分享。 我喜欢当夜宵吃,但我想我得停止吃夜宵了,因为我肚子里的宝宝已经 2.92kg 了(36 星期)。 妈妈常常说,别让肚子里的宝宝太大,很难生喔!

罗宋汤 ABC Soup

二零一一年七月三十一日

上个星期六晚上,我四岁的儿子,梓谦在上床睡觉前突然抱着我说:“妈咪,你可以煮 ABC 汤给我喝吗?”
听了之后,我觉得非常非常高兴,因为他已经生病了四天了,四天都没吃饭了。 除此之外,他是一个不太爱吃的小孩。他不爱蔬菜,不爱水果,不爱点心 (怎么办?),但就很爱喝汤。

我的小梓谦很喜欢,下午喝了一大碗,晚上也吃了一大碗饭 + 汤。 :)

Mango Pudding with Nata De Coco

Yahoo... it was a very hot Saturday... I have to work  :(  so I don't have enough time to bake.  Then, I decided to make the Mango Pudding because I still have some Nata De Coco in my fridge and it's going to expired.  I bought a pack of pudding powder but the brand that i usually buys was out of stock.  So, I have to choose another brand.  But, the taste was not so yum... :(
