I recently posted a picture of my freezer stash of expressed breast milk on my Instagram stories and have received many questions from other breastfeeding mamas on how I managed it. Now, I've seen bigger stashes, and I must also remind you mamas of something my cousin told me - the fresher the better, so … Continue reading Milk Boosting Apple Raspberry Oat Slices
I have made this particular lemon loaf many times over, and just realised last week that I haven't shared the recipe on here! I started trying to find THE lemon loaf recipe I think around the time I started this blog in 2011, and have been tweaking this recipe for years until I found the … Continue reading My favourite lemon loaf
There's nothing like a zesty citrus cake with a cup of coffee for tea (or breakfast) to make you feel aliiiive! Hehe saw a tweet from Simon Holland that said "Once you realize that you don't need a special occasion to buy a cake, the second part of your life begins." Yes, I completely 100% … Continue reading Orange Almond Cake
I baked this cake twice last week, the first time as an experiment for a friend's birthday and clearly I considered it a win so I made another cake for my mother-in-law's birthday that coming weekend. The chocolate cake recipe used for this yields a big amount of batter and therefore a very tall cake … Continue reading Chocolate Blackberry Cake
I work in an investment fund and we look at financial ratios and other boring stuff all day long.

Some of the stuff I've done is swapped out all … Continue reading Cranberry and Almond Granola
I'm gonna enjoy the blood orange season for as long as it's here (which is not long, considering I live in Malaysia and we get it imported from the States - so it's really touch and go) so I hope you guys really don't mind that I'm posting yet another orange based recipe. I mean, … Continue reading Blood Orange Poppyseed Loaf
Two weekends in a row of baking and I have to say I feel really charged! I also watched Moana, caught up to Riverdale and fit in an early morning walk with my dad. All in all, I'd say I had a pretty amazing weekend. Work is pretty full on, but relatively OK compared to … Continue reading Peanut Butter Brownies
Those of you who know me are well aware of my long-time love affair with raspberries and baked goods. So much so that my husband gets to share the dubious honour of being co-namesake for one of my absolute favourite recipes (Rizberry Cheesecake recipe plug). So, as I sit here, slowly working my way through … Continue reading Raspberry Sea Salt Brownies
