CRANBERRY COOKIES

Meant to make these earlier but had been kinda busy and then LO wasn't feeling too well. Since she's better already and her appetite improved quite a bit today, compared to the past few days, I decided to make these cranberry cookies for afternoon teatime. The reason I chose this recipe was because it is one of the very few that uses fresh cranberries (The rest mostly uses dried ones), and it looked simple enough :P. These moist cake-like cookies with lotsa finely chopped fresh cranberries are simply delicious! If you are a cranberry lover, I'll highly recommend to try this recipe out. It's definitely a keeper and I'm thinking maybe next time I'll try adding some chocolate chips or chopped walnuts, just for some extra crunch :D 
They are moist and full of wonderful flavors.
And they look like oatmeal cookies with pieces of bright red cranberries in them :)
<Adapted from an online recipe>

Ingredients:

(Makes 12 cookies)

  • 50g unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 cup quick/steel cut oats
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 an egg
  • 1/8 cup fresh milk
  • 1/2 tsp fresh orange zest
  • 1/2 cup frozen cranberries, thawed and finely chopped


  1. Preheat oven to 170°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Cream butter and sugar. Add in all the rest of the ingredients, except cranberries, and mix well.
  3. Gently fold in the chopped cranberries. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared tray.
  4. Bake in preheated oven for about 8-10 mins, or til the rims of the cookies are lightly browned. Don't overbake or they will be hard and dry. Let cool on wire rack, or simply eat them when they are still slightly warm :D
REMEMBER: Do not overbake them!!

YACON SOUP WITH CORN AND CARROT

Was shopping at the usual supermarket recently when I saw a lady promoting something which, from far, looked like sweet potatoes to me. I didn't pay attention to her til she called out to me and handed me a piece to sample. She was promoting organic yacons, not sweet potato. The moment I put it into my mouth, I remembered eating this looong time ago, but because I seldom see it in the supermarkets, I had totally forgotten about such a thing.  The yacon is a traditionally grown for its crisp, sweet-tasting, tuberous roots. Though the root looks like a   sweet potato, the taste and texture are completely different. Its crispy texture, juiciness and mildly sweet taste makes it somewhat similar to water chestnut or snow pear. It can be eaten raw or cook. It is said that yacon  is very high in fiber and low in calories which makes it a healthy and nutritious snack.   Some of the health benefits of yacon include its ability to regulate blood sugar ...

CHINESE ARROWROOT SOUP WITH PORK BONES

This is the simple version of the Chinese arrowroot soup (Also known as 粉葛湯 'Fun Kot Tong' in Cantonese). Our family love drinking this soup. It is tasty and cooking it with pork bones and dried squid makes it sweet and refreshing. Some people who like boiling arrowroot together with lotus roots or peanuts, and my mother-in-law usually boils it on its own and drink as 'cooling' tea. Naturally sweet and tasty. If you don't like seafood, you can choose to omit the dried squid. This is how the Chinese arrowroot looks like.  The arrowroot is a type of root plant similar to taro, potato or tapioca. However, it is harder in texture and incredibly starchy. When it is cut up, it has patterns that looks like the ages of a tree trunk. It is usually made into powder and used as thicken agent in cooking. The arrowroot is high in protein and fiber which is very beneficial to our body. Ingredients: 1 medium-sized Chinese arrowroot (Approx 700g) 10 red dates, ...

APPLE SOUP WITH BLACK FUNGUS AND RED DATES

I realized we women often busy ourselves taking care of family members and at times end up neglecting our own health. Besides handling tons of household chores, mothers and housewives must allocate time for themselves to relax, meet up with friends, or to cook nutritious soup for themselves! I came across this special soup recipe for women and would like to share all the other women out there. Black fungus reduces fat. Apple promotes indigestion. Dried tangerine peel strengthens spleen. This soup is suitable for mothers who often finish leftover foods so that they aren't wasted as it can help get rid of excess fats that are the result of over-eating.
