Say cheese!


Love it or hate it, you gotta have it! Unless if you're lactose intolerant, then there's soy for you (boo) Personally for me, I love cheese, every type of cheese in the world (except Swiss, Swiss tastes like cardboard ugh) Cheese is very versatile, you can have it in ; lasagnas, soups, casseroles, to be eaten with fruits and crackers, sandwiched between breads and burgers, or simply eat it just as it is!


You gotta have if not a lot, some cheese in your pizza!


Probably one of my favorite cheese dishes, goat's cheese & spinach ravioli

Although they're amazing, too much of a good thing is bad! Cheese consists of proteins and FAT from milk where if to be taken too much can lead to jiggly fats all around the body and we don't want that do we? Healthy proportions, for everything.


Too..much..cheese.......


Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes

I'd like to share a little recipe that I watched from my favorite channel, Food Network Asia. I've made this once and it turned out awesome! Although it is just plain mashed potatoes...lol

Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes
Serves 4, cooking time 20 mins

1kg boiling potatoes, peeled
2tsp salt
360ml milk (full cream...duh!)
90g unsalted butter
120ml sour cream
1/2 freshly ground black pepper





Sour cream mashed potatoes

1) Cut the potatoes into 2.5cm cubes and place them in a large pan. Cover with cold water and add enough salt so the water tastes quite salty. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 10 to 12 minutes, until the potatoes fall apart easily when pierced with a fork.

2) Meanwhile, heat the milk and butter in a small saucepan, making sure it does not boil. Set aside until the potatoes are done.

3) As soon as the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander. Place a food mill fitted with a small disc/blade over a glass bowl. Process the potatoes through the food mill, turning the handle back and forth to force the potatoes through the disc.

4) As soon as the potatoes are mashed, slowly whisk in enough of the hot milk/butter mixture to make the potatoes very creamy. Add 2 tsp of salt and the sour cream and pepper and whisk to combine. Taste for seasoning and serve hot.


I promise you it will be the best mashed potatoes you'll ever have!
