Daddy can cook!

Baby J has started  solid 2 meals a day since 7.5mths of age. I've been rushing like a headless chicken on weekdays, leaving office at 6pm, picking my baby J from her nursery, rush home to give her dinner latest by 7:30pm!

To cut down on cooking time, I'll usually set the timer to boil the soup base in the slow cooker the night before. The next morning, I'll remove the meat from the soup and pour in the rice, reset the timer to start cooking in the late afternoon. By the time i arrive home, I'll just add in vegetables to the pot, give it a quick boil and "Abracadabra", dinner will be ready for baby J. Sounds easy isn't it? Its actually T-I-R-I-N-G!! It would be even more tedious if I wish to serve her fish or vegetables that I'm not able to add into the pot too early.

One fine evening, my dear hubby decided to take over the kitchen to cook fish porridge for baby J. Can you imagine... a man who can't differentiate between a Bombay onion and spring onion said he wanted to cook for his daughter leh!! He gave me a call to ask for the recipe. I gave him a simple step-by-step instruction and hope for the best :p. The minute baby J and I arrived home that evening, to my surprise..........this is what I found in the crock pot!!!


Woahhhhhhhhhh Pumpkin & Tread fin was cooked to perfection sitting on a bed of brown rice porridge!!!




That evening, dinner for baby J was served 30 minutes earlier because now DADDY CAN COOK!


Thank you dada! Yumssssssss
