Healthy, dairy free carrot cake

I am not sure how many started off trying to eat healthy at the start of every new year but along the way, it somehow didn’t carry through. If you had carried through well last year, I am really happy for you. I’m sure you will keep up with that. But if not, you still have this year to try, like me……*grin*. In general, I do keep to a healthy diet and healthy living. That doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy all the so-called unhealthy food. Of course I do, with great excitement……*big grin*…..but only on special occasions. There’s always room for improvement, right?

Fun With Cakes

My first layered chocolate cheesecake

Here I am, back again to blogging! Maybe I enjoyed my wedding anniversary too much until I didn’t realise that the days just passed by so fast. The last time when I was not in action for quite a while, Lena of Frozen Wings commented that I disappear and then reappear….haha. Now I feel like I am a submarine…*laugh out loud*

Red Velvet Cupcakes For My Wedding Anniversary!

Wedding Anniversary Cupcakes

It’s my Wedding Anniversary today!! When I look back, I just feel such a lovely warmth flowing through me. The exciting marriage journey with my loving hubby and the joy of seeing my girls grew up will always remain to be the best part of my life. Life is not a bed of roses or a pot of honey all the time but it’s really about going through thick and thin together. After each year, we can happily say, “We made it AGAIN!”

Super Easy No Dairy Chocolate Banana Cake

If you have been following my blog, I hope you have tried making a super easy healthier cake using olive oil. I discovered how easy it was when I first made the Nectarine Cake recently. Once you are used to it, with all things ready, you only need about 5 minutes to mix, pour into the tin and about 20 - 25 minutes to bake.

Super Easy No Dairy Blueberry Cake

No dairy blueberry cake

I’m shocked yet happy to announce that I have broken my own baking record. If you are not one baking for business, it’s highly likely I have broken your baking record too…..*wink*. This is the 6th consecutive morning that I make blueberry cake! You can’t believe it? Now, I also can’t believe it! Every night I asked my family whether they still want blueberry cake the next day. There’s always a resounding ‘YES!’ And everyday, before noon, almost the whole cake was gone!!

Super Easy No Dairy Nectarine Cake

No dairy nectarine cake

Well, I have indulged in too much chocolate lately. But life does need balance, an occasional dessert to add some sparks into an otherwise boring day. I still cook and eat healthy like freshly made juices, more fruits and vegetables. And lately my sudden craze over Thai Salad, starting with my Simple And Easy Thai Beef Salad. It is so good that I have been eating it almost everyday, with different combination but the same dressing.
