Yummy Homemade Breakfast #2

After making the tuna sandwich w/ salad and fruits for my hubby (see here), this is another "爱心早餐" I did last Sunday - Ricotta Cheese Hotcakes (^_^)

This is one of the recipe I got from the online Perfect Italiano website which I thought it's a really simple yet yummy breakfast treat for my family. Not only is the preparation easy, even the ingredients are readily available in our kitchen - just flour, milk, egg, butter & sugar.

But somehow, mine weren't as fluffy as the pic shown online nor was it like the Mac hotcakes. Mine was kinda flat and didn't 'bubbled' as much, maybe something's wrong with my baking powder (-_-!)

Nonetheless, I had this hotcakes with maple syrup & butter, coupled with some strawberries and mango. Top it off with a glass of fresh milk and it's still as satisfying! ;P~~~

For those who are keen to try this out, you can check out the recipe here.
In fact, they have a lot of other recipes involving using cheese & all look super-yummy!!!

Have fun exploring! ;)

Looks tempting, isn't it?!


Our Sunday Breakfast

This is the last hotcake I did and it had such a queer look! Not sure what happen but it end up having "fat, little fingers" around it ... hahaha :D

Funny-looking Hotcake

Hey I'm Back !!!

Yes ! I'm back in blogging action !!! (^_^) I know it's been a LONG while since I last blog & bake. In case you're wondering what happened, well ... it's bcos I was busy moving house over the past months.

I started packing my baking tools & barang barang real early & stop baking totally ... then was busy with packing, more packing .... then renovation, moving in ... then unpacking & more unpacking! Aaarrgghhhh ....

BUT finally I've settled down ! Yayy !!! My new house is nice & clean & spacious ... I'm Loving It ! :) Ummm ..... maybe I can do a tour of my new place in the next post (>_<)

And ... and ... I've just got a brand NEW KitchenAid Mixer to match my new kitchen ! Yayy x infinity !!! Ummm ... I should showcase my "Darling" in my next next post (>_<)

Haha ... it must be after-effects of not blogging for soooo long, I'm already thinking of the 2nd, 3rd posts .... ok ok back to reality (slap left slap right). Actually today's post is on the 1st meal I prepare for myself & my hubby after moving to our new place ... Opening Ceremony of my kitchen !

"Ai Xin Zao Chan"


With Orange segments & Grapes ...


And Salad w/ Egg, Hotdog, Cherry Tomatoes, Cucumber, Sunflower seeds & Thousand Island Dressing


And Tuna Sandwich w/ Wholemeal Bread

A simple yet healthy & fulfilling breakfast for both of us! Bon Appetit !!! ;P (munch .. munch ..)

A Great Sunday Morning

Usually by the time I wake up on a Sunday morning, it would be around 9-10+ am if I'm lucky or easily past noon when I'm not (Yes, I know I know but Hey! It's the ONLY day that I get to sleep late so ....). Anyway, on such Sundays, we will simply settle our breakfast (or brunch) at neighbouring coffee shops or Macdonald's. In fact, I've been feeling guilty that I haven't prepared breakfast for my hubby for a long while.

But, somehow, something must have gotten into me today for I was up wide awake at 7.30AM !!! It was such a great feeling ... enjoying the fresh morning, breathing in the cool, crisp air without having to rush for work. And since I had such a rare good start on a Sunday, I decided I had to prepare something decent for my hubby.

After rummaging through my fridge & shelves, I found quite a few items enough to whip up a simple western breakfast. So what's today menu at I-Luv-Baking B&B? Minestrone soup, salad greens, palette of cheese, ham, luncheon meat (MY FAV), eggs to choose from to go along with healthy black sesame bread & Meiji low fat fresh milk !

Haha ... when my sis-in-law & hubby saw the spread, their eyes went wide open & go "Wooh ... this is what you call SIMPLE ?" (^.^)

Our breakfast spread today.

We thoroughly enjoyed it & I was full to my neck that I had to skip lunch. After the 'humble' meal, I was in such good spirit & started flipping through my mini-library of baking recipes. Finally, I settled on baking Chiffon cake and in fact, did 2 at a go - Grapefruit Chiffon & Marble Chiffon (Recipes are provided on separate posts).

Ain't I greedy? I had all the stuffing in my sandwich!

What a great & fruitful day !!! I resolve to have more of such Sundays in 2009 ... (^_^)
