This morning i and my housemates Kak Lin doing so called 'west meet east' meal for our breakfast hehe...Tuna blackpaper puff and nasi lemak ungkap. The puff is easy recipe to make for those super mom or ladies out there. Tastes yummy and u can make variety filling like souvary or sweet.

Today recipe was adapted from fellow blogger. He used cinnamon to make the treat tasty. Before that i want to share with u you a little bit about cinnamon. There are 10 benefit if we take cinnamon in our daily food.

1- Studies have shown that just 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon per day can lower LDL cholesterol.
2- Several studies suggest that cinnamon may have a regulatory effect on blood sugar, making it especially beneficial for people with Type 2 diabetes.
3- In some studies, cinnamon has shown an amazing ability to stop medication-resistant yeast infections.
4- In a study published by researchers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Maryland, cinnamon reduced the proliferation of leukemia and lymphoma cancer cells.
5- It has an anti-clotting effect on the blood.
6- In a study at Copenhagen University, patients given half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder combined with one tablespoon of honey every morning before breakfast had significant relief in arthritis pain after one week and could walk without pain within one month.
7- When added to food, it inhibits bacterial growth and food spoilage, making it a natural food preservative.
8- One study found that smelling cinnamon boosts cognitive function and memory.
9- Researchers at Kansas State University found that cinnamon fights the E. coli bacteria in unpasteurized juices.
10- It is a great source of manganese, fiber, iron, and calcium.

Well, my fellow bloggers, now we know already cinnamon is good for our health right? ;)

Strawberry puff with almond

Frankly speaking i'm down rite now. May DLSR camera (my BB) is not with me. Too bad because i can't snap my foods . I sent my DSLR camera to the Nikon center and they said at least 3 weeks to repair it. Next wednesday is the 3rd week, so i hope i can get my BB soon :)
Beside that somebody who closed with me is sick rite now. He was admitted to the hospital because of slip disk. I knew he is under stress and sad because of the ilness...what make me really sad is he totally refused to allow me visit him at the hospital.I was visited him once on last week and after that he really don't want to see me..what should i do?? what did i do until he treat me like that.I'm really miss him. Now i pray hard to God so that he'll recover from his illness..amin...
Today to release my tension i made  Strawberry puff. I adapted the recipe from other blogger, Mat Gebu. Walla, i didn't knw it's so easy to make it using ready made puff. At first i wanted to make an apple filling but unfortunately i don't have the fruit so i just used my strawberry jam and almond flakes.So here the recipe.

I do beseech you send for some of them."
