Being a new mummy is super challenging.. No, i'm not complaining, just loving the new title "MUMMY".. It took me a super long time after giving birth to actually start cooking.. My handsome little man is now 6 months and 14 days old..
He's crawling all over the place and learning to climb.. and his first tooth is spruting out!!! =)))
Enuff said about my handsome little man.. The thought of cooking, after coming home from work and then taking care of an infant, can be really REALLY tiring.. Hence i came up, or should i say stumble and then improvised, with 2 super simple dish that you could cook in 30 minutes.. Cajun Prawn Linguinne and Kimchi Fried Rice.. It's super easy, even my dearest Mr could cook it without my help.. So here are the recipes..

1. Put a pot of water to near boil, add in a tablespoon of salt and boil the linguinne to al dante (it would take about 10-15 mins) ** never add in oil while boiling pasta
