BRAIDED TUNA BREAD

I bake yeast bread quite often because my family loves them.    My boy specially requested this Braided Tuna Bread for his breakfast.

It is a great bread to bring to potlucks or family gatherings.  Filled with tuna, you can also choose other stuffing of your choice.

If you have a bread machine, the process is even easier because the machine kneads the bread for you. But if don't have a BM, no worries! Good old fashioned kneading with your hand is perfect (it's a good workout).

Using a sweet dough,  this Braided Tuna Bread turned out soft and  buttery, however frozen bread dough may also be conveniently substituted by time pressed readers.

OATMEAL SESAME COOKIES & DAILY BUZZ MOMS TOP 9

I have combined 2 of my favorite ingredients to come up with this wholesome, chewy cookies to serve at snack time or even quick breakfast.

This Oatmeal Sesame Cookies recipe is deliciously  made with rolled oat and sesame seeds, as a result it's a great source of fiber. A real treat in my books.

Would recommend doubling the recipe if  you are taking them to a party since you only get around 20 cookies  using the recipe below.

BINGKA LABU/ BAKED PUMPKIN CAKE GF

Bingka Labu (Baked Pumpkin Cake GF)  is a traditional recipe, often served during breakfast or as a tea time snack.  Normally made with wheat flour and coconut milk either steamed or baked without any leaving agents.

Here is my first attempt using gluten free flour ( rice flour and cornflour) and much lower sugar but you can also  use wheat flour.  After all, it doesn't effect the taste of this bite size kuih.

When preparing the pumpkin puree, don't discard the seeds, toast them in a microwave or oven and use it as a topping..

My family thought it was delicious and I'm so pleased with the result of my experiment.

GLUTEN FREE CHOCOLATE BITES

For wheat free and gluten free lovers, these  Gluten Free Chocolate Bites are for you. I love to experiment with gluten flour although none in my family was diagnosed with celiac disease.

Made with  3 types of  flour, one can't really tell the difference, it tasted almost the same but  the texture was not as smooth compared with one using wheat flour. You can also use store bought  gluten free flour or mix your own  that works best for your needs.

Easily turned  them  into bars by using 8 x 8 in pan.   Do omit the yogurt if you're allergic  to dairy and use total 1/2 cup of oil for these Gluten Free Chocolate Bites recipe.

SOY MILK JELLY

A nutritious and refreshing  dessert made with soy milk. I had use a store bought and mildly sweetened soy milk but if you can get hold of unsweetened ones that is so much better.

Also added about a cup of  sliced canned peaches but this is optional, feel free to choose other fruit of your choice. This fruit enhance the flavor and make it prettier too.  Serve your guest with a beautiful  jelly set in a smaller jelly mould.

Soy milk can be a healthy alternative to diary milk for people who are lactose-intolerant or vegan.
