Hey!
I was going through my phone pics and I noticed that I have A LOT of pictures in there. 2400+ pictures. I should be uploading them into my hard drive but instead I decided to blog about it. Ha! Don't worry, I'll get to it...someday. Anyway, I have some pictures that I wanted to put up here because I thought "what's the use of taking pictures if you aren't gonna show them to anyone." Am I right?
Ok well here they are. All food related, of course:)


This is a "taiyaki." Have you ever had one?
Its a japanese fish-shaped waffle/pancake usually filled
with red bean paste, custard or chocolate.
This one was red bean paste. It was yummy!

Kawaiiiiiiii!

Go now to your nearest Yogurtland and eat some yogurt!! Hello Kitty & friends are there and they've made the spoons and cups so darn cute!! The spoons come in 4 different designs - Hello Kitty, Chococat, Keroppi & My Melody. &&& if you go there often enough, you'll able to collect all of them, which I did. Btw, thanks Sanrio for further encouraging my hoarding tendencies. Yes, I am 30 year old woman who is obsessed with Hello Kitty and all her friends and I am not ashamed to say it! ^_^





Cookies&cream, dutch cocoa & new york cheesecake
topped with strawberries, pbcups & rainbow sprinkles:)

. Homemade Whipped Cream .

Pin It


Fluffy......
I love strawberries. Unfortunately, my daughter doesn't:( She used to eat them when she was an infant/toddler, including bananas, mango, melon, apples even lemons! Then after she turned 2, she stopped liking fruit all together. I couldn't figure out why. Now that she's almost 5, she started getting back into the habit of eating fruits and veggies again, most especially broccoli and bananas. A couple weeks ago, she asked if  I could buy her some strawberries to eat. Of course, baby. I'd gladly buy you strawberries!
I remembered we still had some heavy whipping cream left over in the fridge, so I thought we could also make some yummy whipped cream to go with our delicious fruit.
She loved making this because you could see the cream get fluffy and thick as you whip it up in your mixer. I like it because you could control the sweetness level. It was also good way to help her eat more fruit without too much sugar being added.


Homemade Whipped Cream


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons-1/4 cup powdered sugar (depending how sweet you like it)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract


Preparation:

Chill your large bowl and whisk attachment in freezer for at least 1/2 an hour.
In a large bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks are just about to form.
Beat in vanilla and sugar until peaks form.
Make sure not to over-beat, cream will then become lumpy and butter-like.    


Floating on a cloud of whipped cream~ This strawberry is very happy ^_^
