Baking, Cooking and Celebrating

Hello!

hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend CNY break :) did some baking on the eve of CNY and spent the whole day visiting relatives on the 1st Day of the Lunar NY. it was fun and although we don't meet often, the family bond is always there and me, being the one that often stands out from Ron's family, has always been Welcomed with open arms and they've never made me feel out of place.

to sum it all up, there was just too much eating! and lots of food shots from moi today :D here's what's been baking in my oven...

Crispy Crunchy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Be My Valentine Oatmeal Cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookie

for Little Cookie Lovers! :)

Rich Tea Biscuit Chocolate Cake
my own recipe ;) layered thin Rich Tea biscuits from
Marks & Spencer's with chocolate & butter

it's not Super Yummy but it's OK.
wanna try some? :D

the usual cookies and candies for our Guests

2nd Day of CNY
a few girlfriends came over and made a pot of
Spaghetti Bolognaise

store bought Garlic Bread, baked to crispiness :D

Putri Salat
a local delicacy which has Green Pandan kaya on top and glutinous rice on the bottom. usually eaten for breakfast or anytime of the day :) baked by my good friend and neighbour


Yummy Banana Cake made by Groovie Cheffie Deedah :)


Thanks for coming Ladies! :)

Adorable Little Ones :)

Thanks Wati & Yannie for these lovely gifts :)


and Thanks Everyone! for coming by and sending Warm Wishes our way :) it's back to normal daily Life now and i'm still having computer problems and truly hoping to get it solved really quickly...

kids caught the cough and flu bug but slowly recovering. they have their own little issues with school and friends and studying! and i have my issues with them...hehe it's the usual with my kids. bickering, arguing and then seeing them getting along and enjoying each other's company. then the teasing comes and then it starts all over again! hmmm...

but as long as they're always together, happy and enjoying their childhood, i'm happy :) and i'm happy whenever i have the chance to create anything while @ my scrap area :D did this layout for my MIL with recent photos of her Grandchildren.
Mama We Love You
layered heart with little hidden messages ;)
Have a Great Thursday! :)
