Saturday noon

We went to Japanese restaurant in the Saturday afternoon. This Japanese restaurant is very near to my home...is just a walking distance.

How am I looking? My face looks so round huh...= ( keep on putting weight!

The restaurant is very small...luckly when the time we went there is not yet full house.

Bento Set (Chicken, Salmon and Beef)

Fish and Rice Set

Beside the restaurant is a supermarket. So, I went to buy some baking stuff and will do my baking tomorrow. Yeahhhh, it is baking time again!!!

Blueberry & Sultana Bran Muffins

As you know muffins is very fatty as the ingredients include butter. I found that there's a muffin mix which is 98% fat free. I am so happy because muffins is one of my favorite food. So I decided to buy the muffin mix and bake it. Here's my muffins baking process...

Ingredients - Muffins mix, 150ml water, 2/3 sultana Bran (Optional)

Steps:

**Preheat oven to moderate.

**Place muffin mix, water and sultana bran into mixing bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are combined (approximately 1 minute). Divide batter evenly between muffin cups.

**Bake for 20-25 minutes. Muffins are baked if they spring back when lightly touched in the centre.

Another delicious idea...Blueberry & Oat Muffins

**Prepare muffins as directed above, adding 1/4 cup rolled oats to muffin batter. Divide batter evenly between muffin cups.

Yeahhh, this is Blueberry & Sultana Bran Muffins that I baked. No doubt, it taste good! :P

Mashed Potato-Topped Tuna Pie

Last Tuesday I saw some baking recipes from newspaper so I decided to try on this weekend. Here's the original recipes but I didn't follow exactly the ingredients listed in the recipes.

Ingredients

2 x 425g cans tuna in oil, drained

2 spring onions, finely sliced

2/3 cup frozen peas

2 tbs chopped parsley

1 cup cream

4 large potatoes, peeled

1 tbs butter

1/3 - 1/2 cup milk

Extra 2 tbs chopped parsley

Salt and freshly ground pepper

What to do

~ Preheat oven to moderate.

~Put the tuna in a large bowl with spring onions, peas, parsley and cream. Mix well using a large spoon or fork to break up the chunks of tuna. Put the mixture into an ovenproof casserole or individual serving dishes.

~Chop the potatoes into small pieces and cook in boiling water until soft enough to mash. Drain well and add butter, milk, extra parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Mash well, adding more milk to make fluffier potatoes. Pile potatoes on top of tuna, spreading roughly with fork.

~ Bake 15-20min or until potato topping is browned and bubbling.

Tips

~Switch the cream for half milk and cream, Greek-stlye yoghurt or canned condensed soup.

~ Corn kernels or small pieces of par-cooked broccoli can be added.
