SESAME COOKIES

One of my favorite cookies, if you are like me prefer not so sweet biscuit this  Sesame Cookies are for you to try out, very crunchy and eggless too. You can shape it into the ball then flatten or use desired cookies cutter of your choice. Do take note, the dough must be placed in between the plastic sheet to avoid sticking to the board. If the dough is a bit sticky to work with, add a tablespoon or two flour.

CUTTLEFISH SAMBAL

CHICKEN PORRIDGE

My children are craving for this Chicken Porridge since we had it quite sometime ago. It's simple comfort food and healthy too. Boil your own chicken stock to get best taste or you could use ready made chicken cube. Instead of chicken, thinly sliced meat or fish would be the best alternative. The following recipe serves 4-5 persons.

BANANA BREAD MUFFIN

There are various ways to bake your banana muffin but this one by far the best I've baked.  Banana Bread Muffin was easy to whip up, hardly takes a few minutes and you can serve them for breakfast or as afternoon snack fresh  from the oven.

Banana Bread Muffin was so moist and delicious, not overly sweet.  Instead of nuts you can replace with chocolate chip or dried fruit and the combinations are endless.
