it is really warm to sit together and have home cooked food

just like a family

i am glad that i have awesome housemates that are just like my family!

so everyone cook one dish!

Erick didn't cook because he forget about it

anyway, he will be in charged to wash all the dish

luckily Cloud prepared 2 dishes

among of of the girls, Cloud is the best cook

malaysia style fried rice!

lasagna

Tim's dish

but not cook by him

by his friend

it is a beef lasagna!

awesome

so, this is what i cooked!

i don't know what it should be called

i didn't follow any recipe 

just mix everything i have

generally it is hash potato topped slow-cooked chicken peas, onion with carrot 

to be it is nice

i didn't add oil, sugar or salt

100% natural taste

it is really great to have them as my "family"

we even talked about having FAMILY DINNER every weekends

unfortunately, i won't be around anymore

yet, i need to thank all of my mighty housemates!

they are really cool! 

First smoothie bowl

Back in Asia, I don't really take smoothie
What I mean smoothie is healthy smoothie which contains fruits & veggie
But now I ♥ it so much

So what's smoothie bowl?
Basically is pour ur smoothie in a bowl and add some topping for it!
For me,  I added muesli & a spoon of peanut butter! :-D
♡ IT TO MAX

It is really simple and healthy!

Bread! How I eat!

I love to eat bread! Especially multigrains bread
This is because it is a healthier choice and help in weight loss!
So there are some ideas on how to eat bread!

upper : yogurt + sunflower seed!

it is a bit dry but delicious!

below: yogurt + rasin!!

sweet & nice!

Hearty breakfast

this is really healthy!

what you need :

a handful of granola

a handful of rasin

honey (optional)

GReek Yogurt 

i like greek yogurt because it tastes a bit like ice cream!

love it to max!

it is a great idea for wight lose!

low in calories! =)

HOMEMADE HEALTHY APPLE SAUCE/JAM

i got too many apples 

it is soft already!

not crunchy anymore

so, i searched the Internet to see what can i do with these apples

so, i decided to make HOMEMADE APPLE SAUCE/JAM!!

SO, THIS IS HOW IT WORkS!

i used 4 apples

peel and core them!

then, slice them into very tiny pieces because i dont have a blander hence i need to smash them using a fork

smaller price, easier to mash!

ended up looking like this:

put them tiny pieces into a pot!

pour a lit water (i don't measure just pour hot water into it!)

then, add some sugar

any type of sugar 

i prefer brown sugar

yet, i only use 2 packets

because apples are sweet already, no point adding additional sugar for it (this is what i think!)

according to the recipe, 1 cup of sugar is needed

i think it is based on individuals!

So, sugar is added!

now, boil it for about 20 minutes!

stirring is needed to avoid brunt!

meanwhile, use a fork to smash it!

you can also smash it after the 20 minutes boiling

but smash it during boiling will be easier!

so this is my FIRST HOMEMADE HEALTHY APPLE SAUCE/JAM!

delicious & tasty!

first time, nice try! =)

Healthy hash brown

What you need:
Potatoes (cubed)
Lettuce/ other veggie (optional)
Soft tofu
1 Egg

Firstly,  I boiled the potatoes so that it will be softened (I love it to be soft)
Then cut them into cubes! Actually mine not cube, I just cut them into small pieces!
I transfer them into a large bowl together with the chopped lettuce
Mix them together with a spoon
Then add in crushed soft tofu!
Mix it again and add some soy sauce (I add oyster sauce instead)
Lastly add egg into it and mix it again!
Put them on the aluminium foil that coated with oil and bake it for 10 minutes in 200 degree Celsius
And there it is!

Healthy hash brown! 

It is a bit too watery, maybe because I don't drain the soft tofu! 

My sis said it tasted amazing!

I added tofu because It contains high protein and potato has high carbohydrates
Lettuce is high fiber & vitamin food
So together, it is healthy!
It has a very low calorie (sorry I don't know how to calculate )
Yet it is obviously lower calories than the frozen hash brown

I create this recipe all by myself!
So I m very happy with it!

CHEESY CHRISTMAS SALAD

Christmas is coming soon!
Actually still got 22 days to Christmas!
Whenever I think of Christmas I think of 2 colors : RED & GREEN!
Yeah, typical Christmas tree color!
So, I think of using these two colors to make a salad for lunch!

Recently, I like to use the oven !
Firstly, it is easy : put everything in and press some buttons!
Secondly, I hate washing so using aluminium foil and dispose it after roasting is the best choice for me!
Thirdly, i can practice how to cook so that next year i can cook for myself in overseas!
Hence, I decided to roast some veggies!
I don't really like to eat raw
Raw food doesn't taste sweet

For seasoning, I only use 2 ingredients! OLIVE OIL & LEMON!!

i pour the oil and lemon juice on the aluminium foil
then, tost with cucumber and broccoli!
On the other layer, I grill tomato and  cherry tomato!

After 10 minutes roasting, salad is coming!!
i mixed tomato, cherry tomato, cucumber & lettuce (sliced) together with cheese sauce!
then, add into a bowl !
in less than 5 minutes, my salad is ready!
yummy, yummy!
the plus point is this salad only is about 100 kcal! =)

EGGS IN TOMATOES!

wake up quite early this morning (around 9am!)
the house is quite as usual, i am the first to wake up in the family (except my dad who went to work!)
open the fridge and a container of tomatoes is right in front of me!
so, i took it out and start to think what to do with it!

 This ! 

grilled tomato pouch egg! =)
so this is what u need ( 2 ingredient only!) : Tomatoes + eggs
what u need to do:
1. preheat the oven for about 10 minutes with 200 degree
2. place the aluminium foil on the tray
3. halve the tomatoes
4. Pour the eggs in the tomatoes (for me, one egg with one tomato)
5. place them on the foil
6. carefully, insert it into the oven
7. Grill it for about 10-15 minutes with 200 degree
8. take it out carefully with glove and let it cool!
9. eat it!

actually, i also do some grilled lettuce!
this is just an experiment
I want to try how it tastes
hmm... it tastes a bit like seaweed
It is burnt, because I grilled them for 15 minutes, over-grilled!
i rolled it and use as decoration for my tomatoes!

My BREAKFAST!

Bro's smiling Tomato

Mum's !

FOOD PRESENTATION!
to me, i think how you present your food is very important, it will affect the mood of the person who eat it!
so, i like to decorate my food, i want the person who is eating to be happy!

I think it is successful
i am sort of sense of achievement because this is my FIRST TIME doing this!
Tomatoes are healthy and low in calories!
A tomato has an average of 17 calories (so low!) and it is filling
i remember when i was young, my mum used to tell me tomatoes are good for the skin!
So, try this, easy and simple!

THE GREEN THING! AVOCADO!

FIRST time trying this!

They don't know it fruit or veggie thing! (pls tell me if u know!)

It is AVOCADO!

INSIDE OUT OF AVOCADO! 

AVOCADO can be seen in supermarkets easily!

Not the price is not that friendly!

I bought this for about rm5+

It is a bit expensive!

But I wonder how it tastes!

Usually, I saw it in the salad recipe!

so what on earth is AVOCADO?

in short, it is something healthy!

it has : good fat, protein and good for health!

most importantly, it is good for losing weight (this is what i heard)

But, the problem it, I don't like the taste for it!

Microwave egg salad

This is easy!

You only need 2-3 minutes for this!

As easy as ABC!

What u need : veggie (pea sprout & tomato) + egg!

Put the veggies in a microwaveable bowl!

My is an egg shaped bowl!

Beat an egg in another separate bowl

I added some soy sauce and water!

Alternative : milk and salt

Next, just pour into the bowl contained veggies!

looks so nice!

Microwave for around 1-2 minutes!

Here u go!

egg salad! 

Simple & easy egg salad!

It looks just like steamed egg because I add water!

If you don't want it to be so watery, don't add water instead add some milk!

You can also have half boiled egg salad if u only microwave it for 1 minute!

Breakfast time!

That's not the excuse!!

EGG FEST

Morning!!
this will be my first breakfast in JB!
i woke up at 10am, not my mum and bro haven't woke up!
so, i decided to wait for them to have breakfast!
i always wanted to cook breakfast for them, so today will be the day!

hence, EGGS will be the MAIN dish for today's breakfast!
My brother likes eggs, especially add with ketchup or mayo
unfortunately, i heard that my sis broke the mayo last week, so no mayo!
instead, i used ketchup!
so this is my LOVELY TOMATO SAUCE EGG for my brother!

i called it CUP EGG!

actually, i just beat 2 eggs (he is a boy, need to eat more) and add water plus milk into a CUP
then, add some ketchup and stir  it
last, but it into the microwave oven for 3 minutes! (30s +30s +2 minute)
the time is depends on the microwave oven u used
for me, maybe i poured to much milk and it took a longer period of time!

i had this for myself!
it is the same as my brother's but instead of ketchup, i put LETTUCE!
okay, i need to admit that i a lots of lettuce because it is going to spoil !!
plus, i only use an egg! (i added lots of milk into it!)
anyway, this is a great idea for LOSE WEIGHT!
the total calories i calculted it is only 110!
so, hurray!
this means that i can eat a lot during my lunch and dinner!

yet, this is NOT RIGHT!
but, i really want to eat nice food, especially my parents are the one footing the bill
So, don't learn from me!!

5 minutes salad!

A simple salad!

Ingredient needed : purple LETTUCE, cherry TOMATO, ONION, Japaneses CUCUMBER & pea sprout !!

Dressing : half of a LEMON

This time I put the lettuce in the bottom ask eating it the next day!

Then continued by pea sprout, onion and cucumber!

I put a cherry tomato on top to make it more appetizing!

Lastly, I squeezed the fresh lemon into it!

DONE!

I made it in less than 5 minutes!

The calories is also less than 100!

Yeah! This is mainly because I used lemon as the dressing! 

TIME FOR SALAD!

It is time for salad again! 

So let's see what I have for this week!

I went to SUNWAY and bought these fresh veggies!

For all these veggies, I need only RM9 (they are all organic!) 

it is considered cheap

so, making salad for meals not only LOSE WEIGHT but also $AVE !!

This week, I have CRISPY LETTUCE, PURPLE LETTUCE and a .... (dunno what veggie?)

CRISPY LETTUCE
just like how it's named! CRISPY!
i like this type of lettuce!!
i like the chunky sound produced when u bite it! 

PURPLE LETTUCE

It's real name is Lactuca Virosa

It tastes a bit bitter!

To reduce the bitter taste, I used lemon juice as the dressing!

It has purple leaves! 

i am not very sure what is the name of this veggie

I see it looks CUTE, so I bought it!

Maybe you can tell me the exact name? 

It tastes a bit like bean sprout! 

And it is an example of my salad of this week!

salad + ribena!! GOOD COMBINATION! 

Usually, I only bring a salad to college only if I am having meeting during my break time!

I was having meetings this whole week and last week

Anyway, thanks to those meetings, I have a healthier diet!

However, I think I should cut down my ECA and focus on my studies more!

Anyway, ECA is not important in university application, right?
