I don’t know how I used to make Bentos in the past for the boys. Simple one like this takes a long time! (⊙_⊙). Nevertheless it’s a joy to make!

Trying out a new filling out today – black sesame! They turned out delicious and works very well with the Halloween theme! I have other ideas I can’t wait to try!

I’ve been baking my own birthday cakes for a while now. I didn’t think I had time this year but happy I managed to squeeze a simple sponge cake with mango filling. The sponge cake was smaller than I wanted so I cheated by making more frosting!(¬‿¬ )

I was having a hard time to find fresh fruits, so I was forced to get some tart mangoes (best I could find even though they were kinda pricey). Again, I cheated by adding more sugar (than I normally do) to balance out the tartness.

Hope everyone had a s-boo-tacular Halloween!

I love pumpkin breads! I have been baking them over the years, but this year since my oven is not working well, I decided to steam instead. They turned out beautifully! I think steamed ones are better than baked ones.

Today I made some spinach fried rice for my mom. With the leftovers, I decided to fix Ah Lo’s lunch. Since he bikes to school and stuff his lunch box in his school bag, I doubt he will see what I see when he opens his lunch. Oh well, here’s what he should see…

I wasn’t planning on painting pumpkins this year. Simply no time. At the very last minute, I thought of the Squid Game theme! I can swing it in one day just because the design is so simple. Yay! I’m glad the painting pumpkins tradition continues, at least for one more year.

Here are the 2020 pumpkins.

This has been a crazy busy month. Can’t believe it’s almost over and I haven’t done anything fun to celebrate this month! So let’s start by getting this butternut squash risotto. I didn’t have to do much since the natural flavor of the squash was so sweet already. I decided to add some nori to make this a fun meal.

For lunch today, I baked pizza to go with some witch’s fingers (mozzarella sticks). Happy Halloween’s eve!

No tricks this year, just all treats.

What’s the best way to enjoy pumpkin soup? Enjoy it with a spider of course!
