BANANA SWIRL BREAD

After successful attempt on Red Bean Swirl Bread, my son was begging me to bake again the same bread but this time I had a little twist to the classic swirl bread then this Banana Swirl Bread is born, using condensed milk and banana. Really easy in your bread machine or you can bake it the conventional way.

This works well as breakfast meal or as dessert. Banana adds an elegant and tasty swirl to this gorgeous Banana Swirl Bread.  My family just loves them!.

COFFEE & CHOCOLATE PUDDING (EGGLESS)

I'd seen this Coffee & Chocolate Pudding  in various blogs and really tempted to try. Have turned the recipe into eggless version by replacing an egg with yogurt.

Also baking it in a deep  1.5 liter oven proof  pudding dish  instead of ramekin. This pudding is a breeze to make and really yummy.  It was dark and so moist, they never last long in my house.  Never imagined  that with this simple ingredients can become such  a delicious treat!

RENDANG AYAM

This chicken rendang is slow cooked in spicy coconut milk until the chicken is tender and almost dry.

It is popular during festive occasions or wedding in South East Asian countries.  To avoid sticking to the bottom of the pan, stir constantly and make use of your  non stick utensil if you have. Adjust the dry chili used according to your tolerance, normally this is quite spicy with a hint of sweetness.

Best eaten with rice cake (lontong), flavored rice or flat bread. In fact this chicken rendang compliments well with  the pumpkin pulao.

PUMPKIN PULAO

You  might have eaten  pumpkin pie, pumpkin soup, pumpkin bread or pumpkin pancake but have you tried Pumpkin Pulao?  It  is an easy and irresistible recipe with  pumpkin and basmati rice. This nourishing pulao has a lot of flavors and very satisfying meal. It goes very well with raita and meat dishes but far simpler and quicker to prepare..

This wonder vegetable is loaded with Vitamin A and anti-oxidant, good source of Vitamin C. K. E and lots of minerals including magnesium, potassium and iron.

ULTIMATE OATMEAL COOKIES

Looking for a healthier version of oatmeal cookies?  This recipe for Oatmeal Cookies is just what you need. It is made with rolled oat and less sugar. I have added mixed peel and raisin which is easily replaced with dried cranberries, dried peaches or cherries. If you dough is sweeten by raisin, just add only a quarter cup of sugar but this is entirely up to you.

This cookies makes a great lunch box treat and  is perfect for cooking with your kids.
