Having been on strike from the kitchen for a few months, I have now resigned to cooking proper meals again. Not that I haven’t been cooking proper meals in the past, only that I’ve been so busy that I’ve whipped up quick meals such as macaroni cheese with ham and broccoli or ABC soup type dishes over the past busy months. Finally, I’ve looked at my recipe books and reignited my passion for cooking. Many people have tasted my cooking in England, but not that many here in KL. Thus we shall begin…..
The only way I can do this is to pre-plan the week’s dishes and do the grocery shopping based on the menu or it would never work. Not with what little time I have. This week, we have claypot chicken rice, Hainanese chicken rice, chicken pie, beef stew and some chicken pasta dish or other. There. That’s five days of dinner. I know. We’ll be all clucking by the end of the week. What to do? I haven’t had time to go to the market for some good quality pork!
In need of inspiration, sometimes I think about checking out Guide to Online
Schools and taking
online cooking and culinary classes. But for now, real life knows I
just need quick and easy!
So what’s cooking at your end then???

babe! I meal plan too! its the only way to go because 1. i hate grocery shopping so meal planning allows me to do a bulk one once a week only and 2. I can see and alternate my meats etc and make sure the fam gets a balanced all round diet. My kids will go ballistic if I cook rice everyday so I have to alternate that too..last week I had an off week..lots of one pot dishes (they’re awesome but!!!!nutritious and easy!)…i’m cooking a nyonya dish tonight – ayam pongteh (potato and chicken stew like dish)..served with rice. Kids can’t complain coz we had lasagne and salad last night and tomorrow, we’re doing a tuna/salmon bake with salad. (we love our salads) By Wednesday it will have to be something asian again with rice.We try to alternate our meats ie chicken/beef/pork/fish/or seafood..like that. Steamed minced pork and eggs is a nice dish if you’re looking for pork ideas. Or minced pork on Japanese tofu?…
i m on the other hand, cooking like a mad woman before Kakak leaves this saturday. Once she goes away, I’ll prob cook one pot kinda rice or not cook at alL!
I had to plan my meals too, now that helper is in and gotta cook for the little one. I buy A LOT and freeze them in containers. Marked containers for pork and separate containers for her porridge.. etc. I had to draw out a meal plan for Amber and after a week, she decides to dictate what she shall eat and not, so I told helper.. the plan is there.. but after a month, I expect her to know how to cook Amber’s lunch without a plan.
Was darn busy and fuzzy the last couple of weeks coz everything needed a plan and schedule and I’m a messy and disorganized person but I get the house in order BUT.. can’t expect the helper to follow my way of doing things.
Get proper containers to stock up your food.. makes cooking easier and you know where to get the best pork.. just call the twins mama 😉
