Healthy Dessert For Kids Theme: Kid's Delight BM#85 Week 3 Day 3    During my last trip to Montreal, during the weekend we decided to go to the Old Port area. It was bustling with people, it was a very hot sunny day, many food trucks were around selling food, desserts etc, stalls selling hats, sunglasses, souvenirs, and so many things. While most of the Canadians and tourists were enjoying the sweltering sun, I was looking for some place to sit under the shade. I  cannot bear really hot weather. It just zaps all my energy and I feel so sluggish. I finally found some place on the bench under a tree and right in front of the truck selling chocolate dipped frozen bananas. The choice was to stand in the long line in the sun to get that or just sit under the tree. However, I so wanted to try the frozen banana dessert. Never had it before. The foodie in me got the better of me and I waited in the sun patiently for my turn. The wait was worth the while. It was so cooling, health...

Double Treat Theme: Kid's Delight - Chocolate Dishes BM#85 Week 2 Day 2    I often bake chocolate cakes, cookies and muffins for my niece and nephew. Whenever hubby and I visit his uncle, I take either cookies, muffins or cakes for the kids. For my nephew its the more chocolatey the better. I still remember when he was in hospital with dengue fever, he wanted to have chocolate cake and asked me to put chocolate pieces in them. That's how much he loves chocolate. The next few days the only food he'd eat was cake. My niece now tries out some of the cakes that are on my blog. Its such an overwhelming feeling; the niece that I used to bake for now bakes for her family.     When I chose the chocolate theme, I didn't have any specific recipes in mind. I then realized that though I bake a lot of cookies, I don't have  chocolate chip ones on the blog. I baked these cookies and immediately took photos as they were fast disappearing. I had to hide some of them for my...

For Little Angels Theme: Kid's Delight - Chocolate Dishes BM#85 Week 3 Day 1    Its the first time that I'm actually making something with kids in mind. Mine are all grown up and now treat hubby and me like kids! Don't do this, don't travel alone, call us when you're going out, etc etc. Does that sound familiar? Are we getting a dose of our own medicine? My daughter in this respect is just too over protective. Sometimes I feel good but sometimes get irritated when she thinks I can't think for myself. However, when she automatically holds my hand when we're crossing a very busy road, I feel so loved. When my sons ask me if I need anything, its such a comforting feeling. When my son in law calls me mum, I feel joyous and when my daughter in law gives me a tight hug I feel as though my happiness cannot be contained.          I made these nut and fruit clusters and shared it with my neighbors kids. The two year old who is not into anything sweet, refused t...
