Pumpkin cake

Pumpkin is among the cheapest vegetable fruit that we can find in the market, this whole fruit cost less than RM4.00.  My girls love pumpkin cake especially the one that baked by their aunty.

Since they like it so much, I try to bake some for them following a recipe from youtube

the ingredients are 2 cups of pumpkin, 7 eggs, 90g coconut milk and some sugar

mashed the pumpkin after it is steamed

put all ingredients into the blender, mix well

into the oven and bake till cooked.  It took about an hour.

Slice and serve.  

A Sunday at home

We stayed at home the whole day on last Sunday. Did not go out to even for our usual badminton session because Clet decided to skip it for he is not feeling too well after visiting his farm in the morning.

While juggling between house chaos and preparing meals, I had the inspiration to write quite a lengthy article about "21 ways to make extra money", this article is published on both Triond and wikinut, these are the two online publishing sites that allow their members to earn passive royalty income for the articles they have submitted. I have been earning from Triond for more than a year now, even for the months I did not submit any articles at all, I still earn something.

I have just joined wikinut a week ago for it is a UK base company, I was fascinated to know that wikinut allows its member to earn in sterling pound, yes!! it is in British Sterling Pound, the conversion is 5X of Ringgit, it is hard to find such an opportunity......

Our girls prefer to spend time at home as well. After a whole 5 days of staying in the school for Pearl and tuition for Crystal, I could imagine how comfortable it is to be at home enjoying computer games and drawing among other stuff that they like to do at home.

Crystal with her Facebook & princess games

Pearl spent her time on water colouring while Crystal was busy with her computer games, she assembled her colouring tools and wore a waist herself to prevent getting her T-shirt dirty (must wear a waist, it is an order by her Daddy) before her colouring session. She cleaned up the table as well after she finished colouring, good girl!!
Meals was simple for the lazy Sunday afternoon, they have no complain having pancake for lunch and afternoon tea, I prepared plain pancake for our girls, and green tea or matcha pancake for us.
With the leftovers of the strained carrot and pumpkin from the juices, I used them to make carrot and pumpkin pancakes as well, Clet said it's taste good, can sell. Seriously, the carrot and pumpkin pancakes taste real good.

Pumpkin Recipes

Clet brought back one whole pumpkin from his friend's farm in Sandakan last week.

He helped me to cut it up into smaller wedges to make it easier for me to store in the fridge.

I tried to make a pumpkin cake with it, the cake is well accepted by Clet, and our 2 little girls considering the first time I attempted this recipe. They do not like pumpkin to be cooked as a dish for meals but they love pumpkin cake. Glad that they like it because pumpkin is very nutritious.

I also used some pumpkin for soup, the chicken with carrot & pumpkin soup.

Pumpkin is also nice to be eaten raw, crunchy and little bit sweet in taste. Have you ever tried pumpkin juice? Yes, I made pumpkin juice with it as well, it smells and taste nice. It has since become one of our favourite juice after the first trial last week.
