This week has been hectic, rushed, sleep-deprived and busy in all senses of these words. The guy was on an overseas work trip, leaving behind his wife – me – to take care of the cheeky boy. It wasn’t too bad actually, but given that I’ve also had to bring plenty of work back home to do, sleep didn’t come till 1am or 2am in the wee hours of the night for me every single day. I am now just feeling so worn out and dead beat that I could easily fall asleep anywhere!
Just a simple recipe of muffins using leftover nutella that has been kept in the cupboard for the longest time already. Since this recipe uses quite a bit of nutella at the last stage before baking, do keep to less than half a cup of sugar in the first stage so that it doesn’t turn out too sweet even for those with sweet tooth. In fact, you can consider omitting sugar from the recipe altogether and using just a little bit more nutella at the last stage where it is stirred into the batter.
Just a simple oven-baked salmon fillet, with all my favourite ingredients added in for a spicy kick of a new year as well as a nice accompaniment to my all-time favourite plain rice. I baked two versions – one with red chillies as topping and the other without (which is naturally for the little one).
This is my last post for 2017. The feeling of déjà vu is coming back to haunt me. I thought I just did this some time ago? What?! It’s already been a year since my last post about the Thai tea frappe recipe in 2016. I’m not sure I’m ready for 2018 yet!
And so this is Christmas. Just a couple more days and we are done with the entire 2017 as well. Time passes by so quickly it’s unbelievable.
