COCONUT & TOFU PIE

It was another interesting recipe I discovered from one of my favorit cooking & bakery blog, skinnytaste, and practiced which turned out quite good!!! So let me share something with you :)

Every time I baked something and make something sweet, I'm telling myself to quit dessert in my rest life, coz it is horrified to notice how many sugar, how much butter, how much sour cream and cream cheese, I have used in order to achieve the satisfying taste I want >_<

But, this one is the never-ever healthy dessert I have tried, which you might not be 100% satisfied by the taste, but at least 80%. And the other 20% comes from the really amazing and impressive potion of sugar I have used; low fat, low calories.

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH WHITE CHAMPIGNON AND SHALLOT

Vegetables and mushroom weekend again, and it is totally green day as well. I was trying to buy Brussels Sprouts in the last few weeks (at least 2 weeks!!) in the international market and open wet market around Wanchai area, but in vain! Things always happen when you don't have such a plan! Really!!! I found them in the random look around the frozen counter in the Taste on Queen's Road East, after my regular jogging on Saturday morning. Amazing, and they are just never too cute and attractive in the transparent plastic basket packed by the grass-green bag. The original recipe, 'Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Shallot with Balsamic Glaze', immediately refreshed in my brain and I made my mind to add some extra items for the lovely green-dinner.

CHEESEY & MILKY BAKED CAULIFLOWER

It's a super simply and quick recipe for brunch/lunch/dinner, which you could choose to have it alone or as a side-dish to serve with bread. I didn't follow the original recipe as whole for the reason that I found I had to re-adjust the potion of some ingredients during cooking. Well, the result turned to be quite a big success, and this baked cauliflower, has 100% combination of just vegetables and dairy products (with some flour for the sticky texture making), which any vegetarian or in-diet people could try. And it's only 10mins to make it (not count in the baking time) :P

Basically I considered to learn this simple way to make cheesy & milky sauce as a great path to any cream sauce (white sauce) for the pasta and baked vegetables like broccoli or mushroom.

PEPPER & CHEESE BAGEL

Personally I am a big bread-fan, and only go for European style which originates wherever from Germany or France (not those pastries). Rough and hard texture is my preference for the chewing and elastic bread texture; multi-grains or wheat flour made breads are beautiful, but a simple but delicious baguette is one of my favorite also. Bagel, is another kind of favorited breads, for its easy stocking and multi-purposed features. I have never tried to make any kind of bread, and my first made devoted to Bagels by the spontaneous idea made on my way back home from office one nigh !!! 

The result turns out to be with ugly and in different sizes and shapes (generally circle-round), but it's delicious honestly, and I think I have potential to make it more times :)

GRILLED CATFISH FILLET WITH ROASTED ZUCCHINI & PAPAYA SALAD

I was starting to search and experiment some recipe recently for the concern of healthier and personalized diet, also, to keep myself occupied in the weekend's daytime. Actually I am even busier than weekdays in the weekends, for the work-out routine; but to have something new to study and try, searching in the fresh wet market and sometimes to change the ingredients in the original recipe I have, are such a happy thing to me.

It was a weekend of my own for my two lovely housewives going for their Singapore vacation. Then I decided to have something really green and white! I love fish, whatever from river or sea, and I prefer fish with less or no bones (that means more sea fish), just because I am too lazy and was nearly 'dead' several times by taking river fishes. For the greens, I was inspired by the recipe of Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Shallots with Balsamic Glaze, which I was failed to find the main ingredient (Brussels Sprout) in the international supermarket near my place, so a totally change happened with a random pick-up action by me. It's organic zucchini (finally I know what zucchini looks like, I had several times of mix-up experience of zucchini with cucumber or eggplant... Shame on me!), green pepper, pea sprouts, shallot and one of my favorits, papaya!!!

IF YOU BOUGHT APPLES IN REALLY BAD QUALITY???

Feeling really excited and cheerful to go shopping this lunch break around my new office location and as expectation, I am super (even over) satisfied by the good deal in the fresh fruit market. Well, the truth is you should foresee and accept any situation you might encounter after you paid almost half price as usual!!! 

Here is the story I paid 10 Hong Kong dollar for 10 green apples in normal size and I got half as this quality and even worse (broken or already going bad as I can see!) and then coming out one mission in my mind throughout the whole half day!!!!

I Must Finish All Those Bad Ones Tonight!

A good idea popped out in my brain - "Make-Apple-Dinner", just like what I want to share with you all :D

SUPER EASY | HOMEMADE FRENCH COOKPOT

Last Autumn, I had French Countryside Tradition - Cookpot in Spoon by Alain Ducasse , which was impressed me a lot just by seasonal vegetables and fruits; after the first week of crazy work I decided to make myself a big meal for Sunday dinner!

I was making MY COOKPOT without recipe which even might sound crazy to you, but let me explain. Cookpot with vegetables and fruits (Home-made version instead of Michelin/Fine Dining Restaurant version) is just a combination of super-thin-layer vegetables and fruits placed in the pot decently and baked with basic seasoning and olive oil. To add some color, I bought raw salmon in a promotion price (housewife tradition - go for promotion!) and made a upgraded salmon version. 

MAKE YOUR YUMMY HEALTH | HOMEMADE PAPAYA YOGURT CUP

Big changes are happening to me this summer for I just re-located myself with my two sexy lovely housewives in a new huge flat (compared to the average flat size in Hong Kong...) and still in city centre. There is nothing more challenged but memorable than three girls tried to organize everything from zero, even during the hardest period that I was accidentally injured and having my stitches. But finally we made everything well, and everything goes perfectly, even our new housewarming party (I also plan to write something awesome about the party delicious we made). 

Luckily, I have one housewife very good at homemade & handmade cooking, and the other one is 'mastering' healthy & vegetarian (not include seafood nor fish) dining concept. Now I feel super confident to lose my weight and looks brighter even without intense working-out :P

The above picture is nothing special, but to my big surprise, it attracts a lot 'like' on Instagram since I posted, so that I decided to introduce this Home-made Papaya Yogurt as my first morning glory.

Let's Do Super Easy Dinner

Weekdays after work, rushing home, and what you want to do is just resting in sofa and even too lazy & tired to move your finger, while normally my stomach will start to complaint, shout towards me, pushing me up and please it.

Wanna prepare your dinner within only 5 minutes (or even less), but also delicious, healthy and good-looking? Here, I just shared my last experience about the love between avocado and egg yolk, of course oven realize their love. Interestingly, the cooking recipe is found on Facebook by chance :)

My First Cheesecake

24th of December, Xmas Eve, all important people to me in this half year are moving, while I am staying behind. Bad feeling pushes me towards some strange idea, for example, being a 'Housewife' to make some home-made dessert!!! Never imagine two years' ago, the recipe of Oreo Cheesecake from my dear American friend in Shanghai is now, finally, alive. Luckily, I can find all tools and materials in my place, except buy some fresh stuff on my way home from work :)
