Creamy Macaroni (Pressure cook)


My secondborn loves mac and cheese but i feel that mac and cheese is always nicer when eating straight out of the oven after baking, therefore decided to use campbell soup and make a creamy macaroni for recess. Added in some greens and proteins! 


Use simple ingredients that I have at home. Easy peasy prepare them the night before and only need to throw them in the pot. All it takes is 10mins and you get a pot of creamy macaroni ready for school! đŸĨˇ


Ready for school ❤️


This is how easy it is! Jus throw, close and stir! 😍

Creamy Macaroni (Pressure cook)
1cup macaroni
1can Campbell Soup (I use cream of chicken)
1.5can Milk (using the can for the soup)
100g beef shabu, cut smaller
Brocolli
Carrot
Frozen corn kernels

1) Put ingredients into pot and spread them out. Then pour in milk and canned soup. Stir them up and break up the beef slices too. 
2) Pressure cook on Hi x 2mins and natural release 5mins. After that quick release if there is still pressure
(Macaroni suggested cooking time is 8-10, so I use 8mins/2 then minus 2)
3) Stir well to combine the macaroni. Ready to eat!

Easy Bread Pudding


Made easy bread pudding to use up the bread skin. After soaking in a milk bath overnight, the bread are soft and fluffy after baking! 😘 This is my first time trying bread pudding as well! 


I used chocolate chips and cinnamon instead of raisins as I dont like raisins. I love how the chocolate chips complement the cinnamon flavour! Only regrets is should have added more, and probably try dark chocolate chunks. And perhaps add in another 20-30ml of milk 😉


Can you see how fluffy it is? And it is soaked up with the milk and egg mixture overnight 😍 Try it. 




Easy Bread Pudding
1 Slice bread, cut into smaller squares
1 Egg
100ml milk 1tsp cinnamon powder
1Tbsp sugar (i omit but you can add if you want to be sweeter)
Chocolate chips
More sugar and cinnamon powder for sprinkling

1) Prepare 6 cupcake cases. Lay bread to fill 1 layer of base, put some raisins then put in 1 more layer of bread and top with a bit of choc chips and raisins.
2) Mix milk, eggs, cinnamon powder and sugar til well combined. Pour them over the bread and press down to ensure they are all soaked with milk mixture. 
(Prepare overnight if you are making for breakfast, if not a minimum of 3-4hours to enusre the bread soaked up the mixture)
3) Sprinkle a bit more sugar and cinnamon powder on top. Bake 160deg x 10mins.

Cookie Base New York Cheesecake


Decided to bake a Cheesecake using cookie base for a change. Wondering if it will be nicer with that added crunch, and will the cookie actually still be crunchy as the base? 🤔


Since it’s hub birthday and he loves New York Cheesecake plus this cookie also his favourite so far, decided to have a go and try it out! Happy Birthday to the man of my life! Love you always and thank you for loving me so much ❤️


I used 8inch tin instead of 6inch thus the cake is lower but I love the proportion of the cheesecake and the cookie dough as its not overly cheesy. The cookie dough is very fragrant with the cinnamon flavour and surprisingly not overly sweet and goes so well with the creamcheese! Its not crunchy and its slightly soft with the cinnamon cookie taste. Hub loves it as compared to the usual digestive biscuits crumb base. Yay! 


A very easy and fast recipe to make and took me around 20mins to assemble everything up to baking the cake! Chill it overnight so remember to bake ahead ❤️

Cookie Base New York Cheesecake
Cookie base: recipe from here
125g Butter
125g Brown sugar (I used 100g)
178g Plain flour
10g Bread flour
1egg
1tsp vanilla extract
1tsp cinnamon powder
1tsp baking powder
1tsp bicarbonate of soda

Cheesecake: recipe from here
200g creamcheese
10g butter
10g sugar
15g milk
15g cornflour
1tsp vanilla extract
1tsp lemon juice
1yolk
1 white
30g sugar

1) Prepare cookie base by mixing everything together until it forms a dough. Chill.
2) Prepare cheesecake batter by mixing all ingredients together except egg whites & 30g sugar. Mix it til smooth and set aside
3) Using a mixer, beat egg whites and 30g sugar til it forms a shiny firm meringue.
4) Fold in meringue to creamcheese mixture in 2-3 additions. Do not overmix.
5) Prepare cake tin and press cookie dough onto base of tin. Try to spread it as even as possible.
6) Pour in cheesecake batter and knock a few time to even out the batter.
7) Pour water into base of pot. Put in steam rack and place cake tin on top. (I use foil to cover the base of cake tin in case of leakage or water seep in)
8) Bake 150deg x 20mins. Check after 15mins and lower temp to 120deg x 5mins (Ignore video as cake was set after 5mins)
9) Cool thoroughly before chilling it in fridge for 3-4hours or preferably overnight before serving ❤️
