Fish Pie

Recently, enough visits to the doctor’s made everyone in my household realize that we all need to watch our cholestrol levels. One of the advice given by the dietician (long story) was to have fish much more frequently in a week. A few days prior, Mummy was also craving Shepherd’s Pie but felt very…

Sausage & Mushroom Calzones

Had a few things I needed to clear from my freezer and pantry. A pack of lamb and rosemary sausages, some mozzarella cheese, and I also had a can of plum tomatoes stashed in the cupboard. Easiest way to use up mozzarella is by making some form of pizza, so I busted out my…

This recipe from XiaoGaoJie (小高姐) came up in my YouTube feed and looked super interesting. I finally busted out my KitchenAid Artisan mixer, and made both the dough and the filling using it.

Recipes from the King Arthur Flour website often call for cheese powder and I got quite curious about it, so I bought some from the recent Lazada 8.8. sale. I bought extra to get Free Shipping, so I was very eager to start using up this new ingredient. This Savory Cheese Bread recipe from…

Cheese Buns

I’ve had that block of Kraft Cheddar in the fridge for ages now. I think I bought it to use for a different recipe, but never got around to do it. Fast forward to today and I really want to clear out ingredients from the fridge ASAP, so here I picked a super quick…
