Recipe: Pasta Primavera

Bobbie June 14, 2020

This is my hubby’s recipe that I asked him to write for me because the first time he made it, I loved it. Now he’ll make it for us about twice a month and it’ll last us 3-4 meals. It tastes great on its own as a vegetarian dish, or you can serve it with pan-fried salmon if you’re feeling fancy.

And also because it’s his recipe, he included far more detailed ingredient quantities and also wrote it in a much neater format I usually do haha.

Thank you hubby <3

Recipes: Favourites & To-Try List

Bobbie June 7, 2020

Edit: This post was last updated on 3/1/2021.

These are favourites that I’ve found online that I either want to try or have already tried. I’m noting them all down so I don’t forget and can easily find them, and will add to this as I go along. Let me know if you’ve tried any!

Breakfasts

Dip ‘n’ Share Eggs – I make this every couple of weeks or so. We love it!
Easy Skillet Breakfast Potatoes – this was genuinely so quick and easy to make. I threw in what I had in the pantry: butter, garlic clove, salt, pepper, rosemary, paprika. Jacky doesn’t give this score liberally but he rated it 10/10.
Fluffy Pancakes – these were genuinely easy to make and tasty, and for once I did not find it too sweet. However, when she says ‘fold’ the wet ingredients into the dry ones she actually means ‘gently whisk’ (per her video and what I found in my attempt), and when she says ‘medium-low’ heat, I found it worked better when the heat was closer to medium than to low.
Sea Salt Dark Chocolate Granola – to try.
Tamagoyaki – I made the sweet version but mine turned out a little burnt on the medium-high heat. I just used a regular pan so think I poured too much mixture in, meaning I had to wait longer for it to cook enough for me to start folding. It tasted good though! Just the right level of sweet / salty balance.

Recipe: The Best Chocolate Chip & Walnut Banana Bread

Bobbie May 29, 2020

This recipe is actually fool-proof because I am not a baker. And yes, it is the best chocolate chip and walnut banana bread. (Because if your banana bread doesn’t have chocolate chips or walnuts in, what’s even the point amiright?)

I have tried various recipes to varying degrees of success (though Jacky was more than happy to eat all of them, and my neighbours graciously accepted to eat some too haha), but this one I’m writing down so I never forget.

And you, in case you are not a baker either, can benefit too. Ha!

For the first time ever it did not come out all dense and crusty; the bread was so moist and the colour was just perrrfect and the chocolate was all melty and, well, we didn’t take many photos before we dug in.

Recipe: Chocolate Chip Cookies

Bobbie May 19, 2020

This is a recipe based off allrecipes’ and Tasty’s chocolate chip cookies recipe, except I don’t have as much of a sweet tooth. Best served with coffee. This recipe yields approx 24 cookies.

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter, melted
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups bread flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 cup walnuts, chopped

Recipe: Fish Tacos with Sriracha Garlic Mayo

Bobbie May 18, 2020

This recipe is based on The Londoner’s Epic Fish Tacos. The hubby doesn’t love cilantro so I’m omitting half of it. And the rest is altered based on what we normally buy and what we currently have in the fridge courtesy of Costco, as well as how lazy I am. The hubby and I loved it, but I apologise in advance to all Mexicans everywhere that I may be offending with this recipe haha.

This was enough for us with a little guac left over to finish with some pita chips. We weren’t too hungry to begin with, but one taco is the size of a small burrito so you should be good.

For the fish:
