Easy (and Lazy!) French Toast

Girl wants French toast, girl makes some. These are SO easy to do and takes too little time to do.

(And if you live in Malaysia, guess what, I didn't even use any fancy bread. Gardenia wholemeal slices are my homegirls.)

Mushroom & Brussels Sprout Hash with Sunny Side Up Egg

I used to love waking up for breakfast but ever since I became a homemaker, a brunch feels more suitable somehow; the two-in-one meal just works better for me. My brunch usually resembles a breakfast more than a lunch but I can't be skipping my portion of vegetables too often either (reeeaaally not a fan of veggie for brekkie).

So when I find a precious recipe like this hash that's made of sautéed button mushrooms and brussels sprout, topped with a sunny side up egg, I intend to stick with it as long as I can and hope I never ever ever get bored of it.

Healthy (AND Delicious!) Green Smoothie

Tomato Basil Garlic Bruschetta

Instead of eating out, my family decided on a fancy homemade dinner to celebrate Fiza (my big sister) and Hazri's (my younger brother) birthdays; we had these fat, juicy steaks with roasted potatoes and roasted vegetables as side dishes.

Rina (my younger sister) had been wanting to eat bruschetta for weeks after she watched—and re-watched—Julie and Julia. Since she couldn't stop talking about bruschettas, I, in turn, craved them, too. So we took the matter into our own hands to satisfy our craving and whipped up these simple bruschettas, piled with tomato, basil and garlic before dinner commenced.

Avocado Toast

Avocado is definitely a new-found love for me. I never used to appreciate avocado but finding a few avocado-filled recipes that simply work—like the Avocado Feta Orange Salad—is spurring my determination to try out even more avocado-filled recipes.

And that leads to a new favourite of mine: Avocado Toast.

You can find the super simple recipe on Simply Sandwiches' blog or go straight to its source, food52.com.

Avocado Feta Orange Salad with Baby Spinach and Pumpkin Seeds : Easy Lunch Recipe

This simple recipe needs exactly seven ingredients and trust me, they're really, really easy and quick to prepare! No cooking necessary; only some slicing and dicing skills are needed (and you don't even have to be good at those two things).

Slow-cooked Chicken with Potato, Carrot and Onion

This recipe is PERFECT for those who: (1) love fall-off-the-bone chicken, (2) healthy (and to be honest a little one-dimensional) yet delightful taste of broth and thyme, and (3) own a slow cooker (slow-cooking is not at all big in Malaysia).
