White Chocolate Beetroot Cake

White chocolate beetroot cake

I was so thrilled when I made the Healthy Chocolate Beetroot Cake (dairy free) the previous week. The only disappointment was that the red colour disappeared after baking as you can see. But I must say I am really thankful to LeQuan of LuvToEat when she suggested that I use white chocolate instead of cocoa. Aha…that’s right! I have to try that. So, you see, the thrill and excitement in making healthy cakes using beetroot continues….*big smiles*.

No more cakes for tea time….sigh. I am still thinking of the dairy free carrot cake that I made last week….so healthy and delicious. I got up the other morning feeling sleeping and a little lazy but wanted a piece of cake with milk. There was a bunch of beetroot…yeah. What about beetroot cake? I googled it. Yes, there’s such a cake called chocolate beetroot cake….wow! I read through a few, thought about it, adjusted the ingredients and method to make it healthier and easier to make.

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?

Instant Noodles Made Healthier

It’s Monday again…another week has gone and another new week is here. Last week just passed by too fast! I’m happy to have accomplished quite a number of things. Being busy at times is good but being busy all the time is not good. A constantly stretched rubber band will easily snap. Work, food and life need a balance in order that we can remain healthy and happy. I think I have kept mine reasonably balanced….*big smiles*

Healthy no dairy oat, seeds, nuts and fruit bar

Time for more healthy food. We all know that nuts, seeds and fruits are good for health but too often a lot of us are not eating enough. I find it difficult to get my family to eat seeds and nuts. If ever I add them into cakes, I know I have to eat the cake alone…..*sigh*. There must be a way. Challenging to be a mother, right, especially when comes to feeding the family.

Easy To Make Salad - For Health And Weight Lose

Salad with salmon

I love to eat vegetables but not too keen on salads. I mean I would still eat but not everyday. I love my quick stir fried vegetables. That’s because I was brought up that way. Almost all the salad that I had tried comes with a creamy dressing. It’s delicious but I won’t eat it everyday. Well everything changed ever since I made the Thai Beef Salad. I have been eating salad EVERYDAY!  But don’t get me wrong. I still eat some cooked vegetables.

We can still eat heathy even when life seems to spin out of control. There’s always a thousand and one things that need to be done, but too bad, we only have 24 hours a day. We need to learn how to relax and take care of our body.

I have been very busy lately but that doesn’t give me any excuse not to cook or eat healthy. All I need is to be more organised which is sadly not my gifting……*sigh*. But I did learn a few tricks along the way. Just keep 7 simple, easy, healthy dishes and keep repeating it every week until you hear complaints…….haha. If you are lucky, you can go on for at least a few months before someone starts to say, ‘Again!’ That tells you it’s time to change!

He must be thinking a lot…haha
