Delicious sweet corn apple soup

I’m happy that my family loves chicken soup because it is very easy to cook and is a healthy soup. If I know that I’ll have a busy day, I’ll cook chicken soup early. When meal time comes, I only need to cook rice and another dish of vegetable stir fry and everyone will have a hot, satistying meal in less than 30 minutes.

Family Lunch Happy Hours

Great Food, Great Time

It’s time for friends to get together again for food, chat and fun. My friends and I often get together for happy hours while our husbands are at work. However, every now and then we do include our beloved husbands and children.

We just had a lunch party a while ago. We made it pot-luck so that it is easy for everyone. There were 5 families. We had lots of good food and lots of laughter. I’m not sure how many did not suffer from cramps in the cheeks and stomach from all the jokes and laughter. We had a most wonderful time together. Again I have to say that food always enriches friendship.

Lamb And Vegetable Rice Noodles

Delicious lamb and vegetables rice noodles

I have to admit that I’m not very good in cooking lamb. So far I only have one dish on my recipe section and that is  Spiced Lamb Stew which my family loves very much. After I bought a packet of lamb, I was quite stressed up not knowing what to do with it. Cooking Spiced Lamb Stew again? Probably not. I thought it’s time to learn a new dish. Well, a tired mind never work well. Nothing came out. In the end I just marinated it with salt, chicken stock granules and pepper and pan fry it the next day. Wow….it actually turned out very delicious. It is great as a topping for rice noodles. That’s what I did. Here’s my recipe here to share. It’s enough for 4 or 5 persons.

Sweet Potato Cake

Lovely sweet potato cake

Looking for a healthier cake? I would go for Sweet Potato Cake. It’s delicious, comes with its natural sweetness and flavour. If there’s anything that I almost always have in my kitchen are sweet potatoes. I love sweet potatoes. They are good for health. I love it baked, boiled, steamed or made into desserts. I’m always trying to find other ways to cook them. I have never tried to make a cake out of it. If we can have carrot cake, why not sweet potato cake? It should be quite similar and taste equally good if not better. Well, I tried it the other day and I really liked it. Here’s my recipe to share.

With the weather getting colder each day, hot soups are always welcoming.
