Happy Meals on Weekends
It has been more than a month since I last blogged. I have switched to a new working environment since the beginning of the year and the workload has been heavier than before. I have not had the time or

Yummy Toddler Foods: Mommy’s Delicious Chicken Soup…
…according to mommy and Hannah, of course :P My recipe for chicken soup has certainly come a long way – erm, since Hannah was born. And I’m sure it would continue to evolve. If anybody has tried using lentil for
Hannah and Her Favourite Videos
We didn’t start Hannah on watching kiddie television programme until very recently when I bought her a couple of veggie tales DVDs that were on sale. Hmm, this wasn’t intentional but perhaps we didn’t want her to become addicted to
Yummy Toddler Foods: Mac ‘n’ Cheese – the Healthier Version
Whenever it comes to planning meals for my family, I would get into this crazy nutrient-balancing auto-pilot mode. And if a new recipe is a one-dish meal (& deficient in certain nutrients), I tend to tweak the recipe in order
Potty Training for Hannah
Getting Hannah to be potty trained has been a nagging issue at the back of my mind. I know of babies who were potty trained before they turned one while others only mastered it around three to four years old.
Gleamings from ‘Positive Discipline for Preschoolers’ Book: Revenge
Out of the four mistaken goals in misbehaviour, i.e. undue attention, misguided power, revenge and assumed inadequacy, we have not observed the last two in Hannah so far. *keeping fingers crossed* So, this post is especially for you, Matt. :)
Yummy Toddler Foods: White Radish Corn Pork Soup

Re-entering the Kitchen: Chawan-mushi (Japanese Steamed Egg Custard)
My mom used to make steamed egg custard for us when we were kids for as long as I could remember. Hers was the Chinese style: egg + water + minced pork + light soy sauce -> steam for 10-15
Hannah: Days of Growing Up
Hannah is fast growing away from her budding cuteness as a junior tot. She is taller now and not easy to carry her in our arms for too long. And that simple innocence in her round eyes and pure happy
Yummy Toddler Foods: Soba Noodle Soup
Are you a rice or noodle person? (I’m afraid this question does not cater to ang mos. :)) Given any eat-out occasion, I’d hardly go for rice unless it is the only available staple food. I’m a noodie foodie :)
Hannah and Her Critters
Aside from the daily battles with mosquites, her encounter with other creatures include our resident load of pet fish, urbanised birds, domesticated dogs from neighbours, stray cats, ants and millipedes. Yeah, millipedes. Hmmm, millipedes? Story goes like this. We happened upon
