In a recent shopping trip to the supermarket, I discovered salt-free canned spring water tuna. I didn’t even know they sell that at NTUC finest! What a lovely discovery as that means that I can cook tuna pasta for my little one. I made extra pasta sauce and cooked some spaghetti so that the adults could have some too. The little one had hers with mini pasta bows. When she saw her bowl of pasta, her eyes lit up and she went, “WOW!” That was worth all the effort.

I enjoy one-pot dishes. It means less fuss, less washing and meals get prepared in a much shorter time. An added bonus if both adults and children can enjoy it. My other chicken cacciatore recipe on this blog uses pepper flakes to add depth to the sauce. This will definitely not go well with my 13 month old daughter and hence, I cooked up another version of chicken cacciatore, a more child-friendly one. Interestingly, this turned out just as well, if not tastier, than the previous version.

I made Kedgeree for the little one yesterday. Well, a mock kedgeree would be more accurate, seeing that I replaced curry powder with paprika. I would have loved to add a little tumeric but I realised that we had none at home. The little girl was enthusiastic about it, tumeric or not, and that’s what counts.

I realised I had some pumpkin left in the fridge today and hence decided to steam it up to make pumpkin huat kuehs for my little girl. Huat Kueh, translated literally, means “prosperous cake”. Some people believe that if it rises and breaks open like a smile (as shown in the photo above), you will have good luck. I believe in none of that but that doesn’t stop me from making some yummy, oil-free steamed cakes for my little girl. They are slightly more troublesome to make than traditional muffins, but they have a nice soft chewy texture.

After a year long hiatus from this food blog, I’m back!
The hiatus was largely due to the birth of my daughter, who just turned one recently. The demands of coping with a baby plus juggling a full-time job made me put off updating this blog, and alas, I realised recently that it has been a year! Time really flies. I decided that I will try to keep this blog alive with new updates of my food. Readers will probably see more “child-friendly” recipes, no prizes for guessing why.
So back to my post on oatmeal pancakes. My daughter dislikes oatmeal, even after I dress it up [...]
