I didn’t want to open up my new bag of risotto rice so I went with a short grain rice to cook this dish although I reckon you could do this with Thai rice as well. This dish is gluten free and low in fat – perfect for us single ladies. The cooking time is...

Gluten & Wheat-free Baked Seafood Pasta with Mentaiko sauce and Spinach
Doesn’t that look gorgeous? Best of all, it’s gluten and wheat-free, which is good for those with endometriosis or those who are gluten/wheat intolerant. I found an organic food shop which also carries rice penne so I bought that and used this recipe to cover up that very granular taste of the pasta. So, what...

Less fattening Truffle Fries with Parmesan
I had a craving. Cravings MUST be fulfilled. 🙂 Yup, any excuse to have fries. Especially Truffle Fries!! My version is slightly less fattening because I didn’t deep fry my fries. I baked them. This recipe is really easy because I didn’t make my chips from scratch, which I’ve done before when I was a...

Baked Miso Salmon with Baby Spinach Salad
I wasn’t very hungry and despite my truffle fries craving, I decided to be healthy. All fats in this dish are good ones! 🙂 No frying involved and everything was completed within 20 minutes!! I recently bought a bottle of white truffle oil so pardon if the next few dishes have truffle oil in all...

Sunday Brunch – Scrambled eggs with pan fried/grilled vegetables and toasted baguette
Sunday = brunch 🙂 I’ve already blogged about scrambled eggs and I don’t think you’ll need to know about toasted baguette (so yum when it’s cripsy and hot) so I’ll be blogging about the vegetables. We had cheese fondue on Saturday (ripped Nigella Lawson’s recipe) so we had a bit of leftover vegetables so for...

Bro, a friend and I went to watch ‘Othello’ last night at Fort Canning. As it’s part of the ‘Shakespeare in the Park’ series, it meant bringing your own mat and picnic dinner. Tired of the usual potato salads and sandwiches, plus my friend and I just came back from Japan, we went with a...

For 300g of green lipped mussels, you’ll need: 3-5 cloves of garlic, minced 1 small nob of ginger, julianed 2...

Vanilla Coconut Cupcakes with Ferrero Rocher centre
I baked vanilla coconut cupcakes with Ferrero Rocher centres and topped with pink icing and a raspberry. I cheated. Everything came out from a pre-mix so I have no recipe except to follow the instructions on the box. However, I used it as a simple base that I can be creative with. Use a butter...

Potato Salad
I love potato salad and I love making it! I tend to poo-poo most potato salads made outside because potato + mayo does not make a good potato salad!! I made this potato salad to go with my brown rice salad for my Sunday picnic by the beach so its simple and a picnic staple...
