Chibi tries out HelloFresh!

13th July 2015

Dear Chibi,

So… I recently heard about this company called “Hello Fresh” which delivers simple, healthy recipes to your home for you to cook yourself. They provide all the ingredients you need in the exact amounts, so no grocery shopping is required. The meals are quick and your dinner is ready in about 30 minutes..Sounds sweet, doesn’t it? The downside is, it ends up costing you more money than if you bought the ingredients yourself. They are a business, after all.

Funnily enough, my sister-in-law sent me this deal where I can get 3 meals for 2 people, for just $1 free (Normally $69). Now that’s a bargain ;D And so I signed up to see what all the fuss is about…

Yesterday, my $1 grocery box arrived at my door:

My LoL adventures

17th May 2015

Dear Chibi,

I’ve recently started playing League of Legends for the last 2 months, and it’s turning out pretty fun :) I don’t particularly like trying out new things, especially when it comes to games. I’m the type of girl who likes to stick to what she’s familiar with and love that over and over. So when cBsM asked me to play, I was super reluctant. I just wanted to play StarCraft2. Fast forward a few months and here I am maxed at level 30 and soon to enter the world of “ranked games” 8D I say “soon” because I’m still not legible until I own 16 champions. So far, I’ve only been playing “Annie” exclusively.

Doesn’t she look so cute? :3

I guess I’ll see how I go… ^^” Maybe it’ll happen one day..maybe it won’t. Time shall tell!

 

 

Meet Champy :3

16th May 2015

Dear Chibi,

Over the last 6 weeks, Champy has brought Hubby and I so much joy :3 We’re so happy to finally he call him our own. When Hubby first found him in our backyard, he was so small, scared and anti-social. Now he’s super playful, comfortable and relaxed :D He’s just the most precious little thing ever <3

What’s for dinner? #6

16th May 2015

Dear Chibi,

Oooo..it’s been a while! 2 months to be precise, but that’s okay because these aren’t stopping any time soon :) I’m continually looking for more great recipes to try out and taste!

Dish #25 Seafood Chowder

seafood-chowder

Probably not the best picture since all the seafood sunk to the bottom… but hey it’s the taste that counts! A creamy thickened soup with marinara mix, corn, parsley and chives.

Dish #26 BBQ Pork Ribs (American Style) + Baked Potato

bbq-porkribs1

I had half a day in lieu one Friday so I decided to try this slow cooked + grilled BBQ Pork Ribs, and it was HEAVENLY. The sauce and rub just added a ridiculous amount of flavour to it. It’s by far the most tastiest dish I’ve made to date… and I’m so proud of it! That baked potato was also amazing. Just ask Hubby :D

Dish #27 Chicken Provencale

Another delicious oven baked dish :D I particularly love the grilled capsicums in this French dish, and the olives give it that lovely boost in flavour. Champy was so excited by this one it jumped onto the dining table O_O.

Our new resident kitty :3

21st April 2015

Dear Chibi,

I never felt much towards cats or kittens. In fact, I usually find them a little scary even! Those sharp teeth and scary paws…
Then about a week ago, this little champ came along…

And my views have forever changed :3

 

Moonlight Memory~ My Star Locket has arrived!!

28th March 2015

Dear Chibi,
I pre-ordered this ‘Moonlight Memory Series’ Star Locket back in October 2014 and after 6 months worth of anticipation, it’s finally here!! It end up costing me around $90 all up, so it’s quite an expensive toy…but what can you do when you really want it? :3

Moonlight-memory-star-locket-sailormoon

IT’S SO PRETTTTTTTYYYY :D <3333
The Star Locket is something I’ve been wishing for since the start of the Sailor Moon’s 20th Anniversary merch releases. If I knew about the Star Locket Proplica coming out in 2016 (It was announced a few days after I preordered this version) I might’ve gotten that instead. Oh wells! When the time comes.. I might get that too, though I’m really happy with this one already :3

Watch the star locket play “Moonlight Densetsu” as the crescent moon rotates! :3

Check out my Sailor Moon Shopping Guide for other merch releases :)

What’s for dinner? #5

22nd March 2015

Dear Chibi,

Welcome to Chibi’s 5th episode of ‘What’s for dinner?’ I’m sure these posts are soooo interesting for you, since you never get to eat any of it… *cough* XD Just kidding. Maybe one day if you’re over, I’ll cook you lunch or dinner :3

Dish #18 Roasted Potatoes, mushroom & veggies

roasted-potatoes

A simple roast dish with sweet potatoes and lots of herbs!

Dish #19 Lamb Shanks with Rosemary & Thyme

lamb-shanks

Slow cooked over 3 hours! The lamb just fell off the bones *_* So delicious.

Dish #20 Chicken and Corn Soup

chicken-corn-soup

Simple and yummy! One of my favourite soups so had to learn to make this!

Dish #21 Pie with Mashed Potato and Mushrooms

mushroom-pie

I’m not sure this is counted as a “dish” since I didn’t make the pie myself! haha. It’s a frozen cheese and chunky beef pie, which I oven baked with mushroom and garlic, topped with mashed potato!

Dish #22 “Best Burger”

beef-burger

Not sure this is the “best” burger, but that was what they called it in the recipe, hahahah XD Hubby loves his burgers, so I made this on a Friday night :3 We end up having burgers for that entire weekend! The beef patty was made out of beef mince, breadcrumbs, egg, nutmeg and onions.

Dish #23 Honey Baked Pumpkin Risotto

honey-roasted

A sweet variation of the risotto :3

Dish #24 Thai-flavoured Chicken Mince with Rice

beef-mince-thai-rice

So yummmy and simple to make :D Another go-to dish for a quick dinner meal :D Very flavorful.
