Baking Recipe: Key Lime Pie (Non-Baked)


If you really want a quick dessert, and you love anything that's tangy and related to citrus? This is your answer. Let me tell you, that I'm really quite a "lazy" person and I dread washing up at times. Therefore, I will try to think of desserts with the least washing up, and still taste delish.

(Something I left out: **Make sure to chill for 3-4 hours before serving. )

This post is a sequel to my Cooking Recipe: Juicy Lamb Burger post, and will now showcase my dessert. Remember I said it was a 3-course meal? Well I meant it. As for the tuna salad, that's really simple, because there was no recipe to it. Tuna Salad will be free-style. What I am more excited to share with you will be my Key Lime Pie (Non-Baked).

Possibly, Fall is starting in the States, Spring in Australia, and while weather remains hot and humid in Malaysia; I think the Key Lime Pie can be made anytime of year. Hopefully you do try it and share all the love with family and friends. Or if you are having an aching heart, this could be comforting too :).

Cooking Recipe: Grilled Juicy Lamb Burgers served with Homemade Pickled Cucumber


It was time for us gals to have some catch up, unwind and enjoy some summer treats. I thought, let's have a complete meal. So,I've prepared a 3-course meal and served the ladies with my very own refreshing Orange-Lemonade.

Plus I don't think my friends ever tried my home made juicy lamb burger patties. The last time I made them were back in uni-days just for myself.. What can I say, I can be a glutton.

To do some justice to my cooking, I will break down my recipes to a couple posts or so? Hopefully to get you coming back for more? Hehehehe.. [ooopsss.. I think I've just shared with you my "evil" plan]

First stop, I will showcase you my lamb burgers served in a fresh sesame bun, layered with melted mild cheddar, saute white and brown button mushrooms and top with my own homemade cucumber pickle. My juicy lamb burgers will be served with baked shoe string fries with homemade aioli dip. Do I sense some drools ;p? After all a burger's best friend will be Mr Fries. Till then folks!!

Featured In: Little Wed Hen & Show Your Cake


I've been itching to share with you the good news, but I figured it's best that I wait for it to be published first. When Stephanie from Little Wed Hen dropped me a message on Twitter wanting to feature Amanda's Pink Rainbow Cake in their website, I was super duper thrilled. Come to think of it, it hasn't really sink it yet. I'm still excited, and trying to glue my bottom down to my seat.

Then, Marda at Show your Cake also left me a comment wanting to feature my cake in her blog too. Wow!! It's an AWESOME accomplishment for me and hopefully I can keep up and create more beautiful treats.

I cannot believe that I will be featured in Little Wed Hen, a Bridal Website based in Melbourne, Australia. Ahh.. Melbourne has an impact on me while I was there and certainly left a small piece in my heart. If I have any excuse, Melbourne will be the place I go to for a cool vacation. All I do is eat, eat and eat and catch up with family and friends.

Okay now back to this exciting news that I have to share with you.. or have I just blurted out everything on top? Anyhow, do pop by Little Wed Hen or give Marda a buzz. Check them out and read a little more on what they have to say.

I certainly am Tickled Pink right now.

Have a great weekend!!

Dessert Recipe: Oreo BerryLicious Ice-Cream


I admit, I've been a little crazy over Oreo cookies recently. Not going to be twisting, licking and dunking them in milk. Instead I added them into my craziest version of Oreo BerryLicious Ice-Cream. I know over in the States that summer is coming to an end soon and Fall is just around the corner.

However, that does not mean that  you can't make this lovely cool treat and stash it in your freezer? I think this is the best time ever to use all the berries you can get. I had a mixture of berries, from blueberry, strawberry, raspberry to blackberry. So I thought it would be fun for a change to whip up some cool dessert.

Let me clear this though, I don't have an ice-cream machine to churn my ice-cream. So for myself, I had a lot of work up my sleeves. Can you imagine me running back and forth from the freezer to my Kitchen Aid mixer and then back to the freezer to freeze my ice-cream? I'm not complaining, because at the end I get to have a lovely scoop of creamy smooth Berrylicious ice cream with some Oreo bites in them. Yummmmmm...
 
Enjoy Chic & Gorgeous Treats new look; currently work in progress.. and have a great week everyone!!
