The husband wanted to try his hand at cooking a tomahawk steak so he did just that over the weekend! Looks massive but using the sous vide method made it easy to manage. Not a super meaty person (cause I love my carbs) but this beefy goodness was just superb. #dxmkitchen #tomahawksteak #roastedvegetables (at Discovery Point) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqXALueBTUO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mdejsp8c390

Homemade nut butter, anyone?😬 That day, the nurse told me that since Beth is small, I can give her more good fat like nut butters. I only know of peanut butter but since the husband has shown keen interest in peanut butter again lately, I decided to find out more about nut butters. Turns out it is super easy to do at home! . I just put some leftover roasted mixed nuts (including extra cashew nuts) we have been struggling to finish, added some salt and processed it in the food processor for a good maybe 15 minutes. At one point I really thought it wasn’t gonna make it but the speed and heat did its magic! I was seriously awed. What a fun home experiment, since Beth could help me a little here and there. And she seems to enjoy the taste as well, so let’s hope she eats more of it🤞🏼💪🏼 . Of course it is easier to just buy peanut butter from the supermarket but at least now I know what to do with nuts we don’t really want heh🥜 . #peanutbutter #peanutbuttersandwich #nutbutter #homemadenutbutter #dxmkitchen (at Wolli Creek) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvf-Wmxnc6n/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=q6rcn9489j23

Glad we did hotpot again tonight. The husband has indulged me with three rounds in the last two months! Probably the last for the year since it’s warming up here, so I’m glad we got a photo. Thankful for friends and our cosy home to enjoy such meals :) #meldyeats #dxmkitchen #hotpot #steamboat (at Discovery Point) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqmkm0whfEZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jfz5vvo4givb

One of the most helpful tricks I read from toddler recipes was using wraps as homemade pizza bases. Gives a thin crust kinda pizza, and is apparently more healthy. It’s pretty quick in the oven too. Beth is slowly learning to enjoy pizza like mama does👩🏻‍🍳👧🏻 #dxmkitchen (at Discovery Point) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpGMA6fHhZ6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16njctl7vu0ed

I like to remember what I did and make notes on how to make them better. These cookies were from platedcravings(dot)com and were easier to make than I thought! I left out the orange peel cause my little mandarins didn’t have very nice skin and I figured Beth wouldn’t like the peel. For my first log, the cookies were the most golden brown and biscotti like - I enjoyed them but they were too hard for Beth to bite! So I reduced the baking time for the subsequent logs, which gave a more chewy texture to these almond orange biscuits. Depending on what texture you like, you can play around with cookie timings:) I’ll reduce the sugar a little next time, and mix with a little brown sugar for extra oomph. Hope to try more cookie recipes soon, God knows I have lotsa ingredients just sitting in the pantry cupboard😳🤭🙈 #almondcookies #orangealmondcookies #dxmkitchen (at Discovery Point) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo_dA2Xnwwd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wyn3o48kcj4f
