This is the very first time I am taking on a WordPress Weekly Writing Challenge.

This week’s challenge is stated below, to come out with an interesting recipe for sharing.

How does the old saying go — girls are “sugar and spice and everything nice,” and boys are “snips and snails and puppy dog tails”?

Aside from not knowing what a “snip” is, I don’t buy it; we’re much more complex than lollipops and unicorns and toy trucks and frogs. This week, we want a window into the complexity that is you. We want your best recipes.

I am never a good chef, but a passable cook. Nevertheless, I am going to share a pinch of me with you.

Recipe: A Cheesy Burnt Chop Mom

Ingredients:

1 pound of fatigue (increase to 2 pounds or more if this is insufficient)

5 tbps of stress for tasting (a necessary ingredient)

10 drops of sleep (yes, only 10 drops)

10g of ear shit (for ignoring screams, this is also the cheesy part of the recipe)

10 ltrs of steam (when kids quarrel)

a bottle of red colouring (when I see red over spilled koko crunch)

a slab of thick makeup (to cover panda eyes)

a bucket of tears (when I need to let out steam)

To decorate:

infinite cups of joy

10 minutes of continuous laughter

6 ozs of sweet nothings

5 dashes of creative juice

8 heaps of smiles

a pinch of forgetfulness

endless LOVE

Instructions:

Add all the ingredients above into a big rubber inflatable pool. Stir them continuously for 10 days without stopping. Tips: for best results, stir them fast when the decibel in the house reaches 100dB, and stir them as slow as possible when you can read while still stirring with a leg.

On the 10th day, decorate with the above list, with infinite joy, continuous laughter, sweet nothings, add in some creative juices, put on heaps of smiles, a pinch of forgetfulness (to forget anything that makes you unhappy) and lastly and most importantly, pour in endless LOVE.

I hope you enjoy my Cheesy Burnt Chop Mom recipe.

The last time I made a cheese cake was 5 yrs ago on XX’s 3rd birthday. It was an oreo cheese cake. Recently on my favourite parenting magazine Young Parents, I saw a recipe on Yoghurt Cheese Cake which has recipe suitable for babies. I decided to try it with a little twist done to suit my older kids instead. I am still quite careful with what goes into my 9mth old’s little tummy for now.

Here’s the recipe:
Yoghurt Cheese Cake

Ingredients
10-12 Digestive Biscuits
125g of Butter
250g of Cream Cheese
3 tbs Honey
5 pieces of dried Apricots
2 Apples peeled and cored
75g Strawberry Yoghurt
10 pieces of Blueberries (mashed)

How to make:

Line a baking tin with clingwrap.

To make crust, mix unsalted butter with crushed digestive biscuits

Line the base of baking tin with the mixture, cover with clingwrap and freeze for an hour

Mix cream cheese, mashed blueberries, yoghurt and honey

Scoop the mixture onto the crust and refrigerate for at least 2 hrs

To make puree, steam apples and apricots for 15 min, and blend

Put puree topping on top of cheese cake or serve aside (I served the puree aside with the cheese cake instead, as my kids prefer to decorate with remaining blueberries and not so pretty strawberries as shown here. I think with the bright orange puree as topping, the cake should look much more enticing.)

As this was made on Father’s Day, it’s for Kel in name but made for the little ones instead. It turned out that both XX and YH love the cake so much, they keep on saying it is the best cake they’ve ever eaten! “Isn’t it terrific, Papa??” I would have made this a thousand times to hear this from them again! Kel, their Papa, however preferred the oreo cake, well, too bad, dear. You bet I’ll be making this cake again, eermm… maybe not a thousand times… 🙂

HAPPY PAPA DAY!
