Cinnamon Rolls
Of course everyone loves cinnamon rolls . My family always enjoy them . Unfortunately i don’t make it often like i used to . Not these past several years . Since we’re eating healthier , i still allow myself to make treats , just not that often . My teenage son loves cinnamon rolls . I don’t think i ever bought cinnamon rolls from cinnabon . Why would i when you can make your own cinnamon rolls . On top of that .. the macros on these rolls are much easier to fit into your daily meal . view full post » Hits: 0

Pho Noodle Soup
We love pho noodle , but it has been months since we had it . To be exact it’s probably been 7 months , and since we haven’t been eating out since the lockdown , we decided , if we can’t go to our favorite Vietnamese restaurant for pho noodle soup , i supposed i can learn how to make it and bring it to our own dinner table . After all , it shouldn’t be too hard to make , although i was told before it takes hours to make the good broth . And it was , it was about 5 hours or so . view full post…

Jalapeno Cornbread Muffins
Cornbread is always good to go along with bean soup . But even to eat it alone is good too . So easy and no mess , and quick . You can always use a square pan for this , but i thought it’d be easier to track the macros per piece by putting it in a muffin pan . view full post » Hits: 0

Beef and Noodles ( updated )
Beef and noodles is one of those favorite comfort food that we like to eat often but probably we shouldn’t . They’re good , and easy to make , as they’re comfort food , and loaded with carbs . Nothing bad of course with carbs , but you know how hard it is to eat one serving pasta ( noodles ) ? yes .. it’s hard , you’d be surprised what one serving is in pasta world . view full post » Hits: 0

Chinese Fried Meatballs ( Bakwan Goreng )
Another food that reminds me of my childhood , especially around holiday , my Grandma’s house would be full of people , everyone was in charged either to bring something or to cook something . One of my uncle , my grandma’s youngest son in law at the time , would be in charged to make Ca Yen , it is deep fried chinese meatballs . In the US , when you think of meatballs , it’s mostly meatballs and spaghetti . But these meatballs are made from pork and shrimp , with eggs , tapioca and cornstarch , soy sauce and fish sauce . view full post » Hits:…

Burrito
Usually we like to have taco on Tuesdays , but this morning i mentioned about why not trying to make our own burritos . How hard can it be ? The filling shouldn’t be easy to make , the way i look at it , it’s like making a huge enchiladas anyway . So it was just a last minute thing when i decided we’re having burrito for tonight . view full post » Hits: 0

Bourbon Balls
I don’t think i ever made any rum balls before we moved to Tennessee . I am sure it was already popular back then , but just never thought of making them . The first year we’re here , i made them , i remember how my stylist was really enjoying them , she kept raving about how yummy the cookies especially the rum balls . view full post » Hits: 0

Fusion Sweet Buns
I love sweet bread , ,such as conchas , the mexican sweet buns . I also happen to love Japanese Melonpan , the two are quite similar . One bread dough using condensed milk , the other just using powdered dry milk . One bread has sweet cookie like topping . view full post » Hits: 0
