I hurriedly grabbed a coat since I was running late. A wave of heat hit me. It wasn’t long before I could feel myself sweating. I couldn’t believe it, summer was officially here – and it was close to 90 degrees. In a blink of an eye winter turned to spring and now summer. We…
Microwave Oreo Mug Cake (Gluten free, dairy free)
Delicious Asian Glazed Salmon (Healthy)
I requested for salmon for my birthday. I didn’t care how it was cooked but as long as it was salmon I was happy. As much as I claim to love all kinds of sashimi/seafood, I admit I eat it all just so I can eat salmon. The gorgeous melt-in- your-mouth texture of a piece…
Peanut Butter Banana Baked Oatmeal (Vegan, 110 calories)
You can see how much we love oats by the sheer volume of recipes that use oats from savory to sweet to cakes! Oats are high in fibre, protein and are so good for you. I really enjoy incorporating it into my everyday meals. Recently, I’ve been obsessed with one pan/pot meals. There never seems…
Chinese Chicken and Black Fungus (No Oil)
Sunday dinners were a pretty big thing in the Lau family home.

Dinner was not much simpler. It was…
10 min Black Sesame Soup (No Rice 芝麻糊)
No matter how full we were, there was always room for dessert.

After a delicious meal of braised tofu, stirfried vegetables with salted egg, roasted…

Molten Lava Cakes – made with beets! (GF, Vegan)
The moment of truth. You hold your breathe. Timidly and cautiously you push your silver spoon through the center. As you reach the bottom, you slowly feel it out and open up hoping to see a stream of melted thick chocolate ooze out. Yes that’s when you know you have a proper chocolate molten lava…
The Best Eggplant Lasagna (Vegan + Low Carb)
Lasagna has always been a staple “treat” in the Lau household. We had a signature “veggie” lasagna that was layered with lasagna sheets, roasted eggplant, zucchini and mushrooms, cheese and marinara sauce. It was phenomenal. I remember looking forward to those nights when we had family gatherings or guests over. Although lasagna can sometimes be…
