Dish #8 Pumpkin & Chicken Risotto

This pumpkin and parmesan cheese combo is godly. Really yummy stuff and super flavorful! I followed this recipe but switched out the basil for oregano instead. Served some prawns as an entree.

Dish #9 & 10 Potato & Leek Soup and Barramundi

I followed the same recipe as I did last time for the delicious potato and leek soup :D This time around I made my own croutons to go with it. Hubby gives it a thumbs up!

Red Velvet Cake with Strawberries

15th January 2013

Dear Chibi,

Red Velvet Cake

In today’s episode of Chibi’s Foodie Adventures, Chibi explores the art of baking Red Velvet Cakes :D For those unaware, Red Velvet is basically a chocolate cake with red food colouring. So no, it’s not raspberry or anything like that, hehe XD

I was a little nervous about making this since I’ve never used the mixer before. Thankfully, it was actually quite simple once I read through the manual :)

White Christmas for Christmas!

23rd December 2012

Dear Chibi,

One of the first things I’ve ever made as a kid was ‘White Christmas’~ something we did during school when I was in 2nd grade. It was really tasty! So to relieve that special little moment in my childhood, I decided to make it again as an adult :D

The recipe was really basic and simple~ melt the chocolate and mixed everything in together!

Dear Chibi,

Risotto take 2! I had arborio rice left over from my Roasted Pumpkin and Feta Risotto dish so I decided to make it again but with chicken and mushroom!

Sweetcorn fritters with roast tomato and crispy bacon

2nd September 2012

Dear Chibi,

I had a hard time deciding what to cook this week! Chibi is on a ‘healthy eating’ diet until end of September, so she wanted to avoid all sweets and desserts. She’s also not comfortable dealing with meat yet (no idea how to buy meat..) so no meat dishes, and prefers something that’s not too difficult or too unhealthy. She end up coming across this fritter recipe. Now it is a little unhealthy since it will be fried but it looked so yummy! heeeee. I told myself I’ll only have a little bit so it should be okay :D I’ve never fried anything before so… I need to practise!

Roasted Pumpkin and Feta Risotto

25th August 2012

Dear Chibi,

Today I tried my hands on making a risotto dish, based on this recipe! I don’t remember what risotto is supposed to taste like, so it was all very new and exciting to me (much like the potato and leek soup). It turned out really yummy and flavorful :D I used to hate pumpkin so I don’t have it much at all, but times have changed ;D

mmmm.. Progress pics below :D
