Sweet Jelly Bean: Beauty & Blog Tips Spilling the beans on beauty & blogging through product reviews, brand musings, easy tutorials & blog tips!
Thursday is rather slow today. It feels like I could hear the clock ticking.
While I was browsing my files on my Mac, in the hope that I could get them organized, I came across some of the photos I took before.
As a result, I’ve put them all together using none other than Pixlr Express to present them to you.
So, this is another short and sweet post of mine that I would like to share with you.
Giving you a glimpse of the foods that have a very special place in my heart.
(P.S. What foods do you love?)
I’m not an expert cook, but I love to experiment in the kitchen.
Main picture: Rice & Prawn dish (with chinese mushrooms and baby spinach)
Top to bottom: Cheerios breakfast cereal (we both love this cereal), Noodles with fried egg, sliced pickled radish & spring onions, Chips! (or you can call it chubby french fries LOL), Beef tofu soup (my improvised dish of my favourite Korean dish – AJ loves this so much), Fresh & crunchy salad.
Now, time to whip up something for dinner. How’s chicken pasta with Italian herb sauce sound to you?
YUM!!! That rice & prawn dish looks excellent!!! Care to share the recipe?
My family’s *fave* is Tonkatsu, which is a Japanese dish. The Tonkatsu sauce is fought over in our house! We put it on burgers, fish, our fingers, etc….
Thanks for sharing the yummies （＾∇＾）
I like Tonkatsu, too. I used to eat a lot of Japanese food when I was pregnant – but there was some restriction obviously, like sushi and whatnot. Oh yeah, I did a post on this a while ago. I don’t have the step by step though since this wasn’t planned or anything. LOL. Search for prawn dish on my blog and you’ll see Prawn Dish on a Lazy Day post.
cool, will do!! Thanks
You’re welcome!
(p.s. I think you’re gravatar is sooo cute!)
awww, thanks!! a fellow blogger made it for me
I have a major weakness for noodles, mushroom chow mein style mmmmmm just thinking about them is making me hungry as is looking at those pics!
hahah, you and I are the same. I like black bean noodles so much, even I got my little boy so into it, too. mmm chow mein. I just ate, and now I feel like I could eat again LOL
omg rice + prawns! Plus the salad! Yummy food heaven <3
haha, i know. I can’t imagine life without rice LOL.
LoL that’s what my friend Stella always says. She’s Chinese so it’s every day ricee. I am doing a low carb diet thing and she’s like ‘dude I can’t live without my rice!!” haha I love rice too, but I can live without. But I think if I lived with her and ate her food everyday, I couldn’t .She makes bomb rice with seaweed and fish! omggg <3 hungry now haha x
Seaweed!!! We heart that in this house. AJ eats it with a passion LOL. I actually cooked fish yesterday and it was gone in minutes haha. Mind you, I only started eating rice again when I met AJ’s Dad. When I was living with my Mom, I would have it at least once or twice a week only. But apparently, AJ’s Dad loves rice and he kept making them when I was pregnant. Now, AJ loves it, too. We could it rice and egg, and we’ll be in heaven.
I think it’s about time you grab yourself something to eat LOL.
Haha totally agree. Lol LOVE seaweed. esp chilled plain with the Korean chili sauce!! OMG yum. Lol and rice is the bombbb x
Ahhh, Korean chili sauce! Yum…
Yummy!
Hope all is well.

Everything looks great! I love food too, and cooking. I love making katsu curry, which is a Japanese mild curry with breaded pork cutlets! It’s so yummy! I also love omurice, Chicken Tonight (chicken with rice and a sauce like Spanish tomato and herb or creamy peppercorn)!
Oh wow! I love breaded pork cutlets. Hoard them when I was pregnant hahah. Shame I can’t find them here in the UK as much, though. I was actually thinking of making omurice, sounds so delish. Thanks for sharing.
Yummy stuff! I’ve a weakness for prawns and I love noodles especially in chicken noodle soup! As a rule I don’t eat beef. Cheerios are a sweet treat but I like Honey bunches of Oats with almonds better. I can’t cook much but eating isn’t a problem
I love prawns so much. Although I notice that I can’t go overboard with it since my allergies (very very mild) will kick in. Still I love it. My little one can eat Cheerios on its own.. crunchhhhh! ha ha. I didn’t know about cooking either, but had to learn it..otherwise my little boy and I will starve LOL.
So I’m sitting here in front of my computer reading this post after gym and I’m just drooling! xoxo
Reading your post right before breakfast wasn’t the smartest idea I guess, I’m really hungry now!
ha ha! Don’t worry I was like this, too after I published the post. I had to get something to eat right away LOL.
I’m hungry and seeing this post made me even hungrier LOL great post though!
This post seems to be making everyone hungry! LOL
Well somebody just made me hungry (ahem…you) lol I absolutely love food! Bread, pasta, chocolate, CHEESE! All of the worst foods lol
We love bread, pasta , chocolate and lots of cheese! AJ loves it sooo much! I eat some of his cheese strips hahaha
Lol glad to know I’m not the only one who likes all of those foods haha
AJ’s Mum,
Please could you advise how to deal with the image sizes when uploading many images like this one?
Do I have to RESIZE first?
If I don’t resize, how can I make all images fit into the their square perfectly?
I tried uploading many images, but my images turned out to be rectangle, and there’ll be space left on the square boxes instead of covering the square box. I hope you know what I mean.
Hope you’ll be able to help me. Thanks.
Hey Janet! I’ll do my best to help. Are you trying to put the images just like my latest post Round Em Up? Like side by side? If that’s the case, you don’t need to resize them, you only need an html code for that. Check this DIY I made on side by side buttons or images – http://sweetjellybean.com/2012/08/22/howtosidebysideyourbuttons/ – I’m not sure whether this is the issue you have, if not, I need to see an example of what you mean. Let me know
I’m talking about this particular FOOD image that you presented. How did you make all images fit into the SQUARES, with pixir express? When I tried, the images will not fit perfectly, as images tend to be rectangle than square. It means that when I tried, there are empty space within the square. Do you have any secret weapon again!? Many thanks.
Ohhh, this one. Yes, this was via Pixlr Express – thank goodness for this tool! My images were not of the same size and some I had to crop via Pixlr, since you can easily do that while working on a project… and if they seem to be rectangular or does not fit the whole square thing, you need to crop and zoom it, that would do the trick. Let me know, if you need more info, you and I can do a session on this, I don’t mind.
Crop and zoom — I seem to get it now. I’ll try again. Thanks
mmm, yummy! I’m not some expert in the kitchen either, but I do love making cakes. Meat is a must-have on my plate, then pasta, rice, and bean ofcourse
)
I am addicted to cooking too =).
Really Yummy post!
kc
I thought the food at the bottom center is sinigang. hehehe. Do you cook sinigang there?
Oh yeah, looks like one, doesn’t it? My Mom does. Never tried it yet. Might be too strong for my little boy, and I normally cook food based on his taste..hehe.
OMG! OMG! How did I miss this post!!!! soooo sorry. I am a total foodie person, my friends have gotten to know that before they even touch their cutlery that I need to take photos of their dishes as I ‘Foodspot’
I am a HUGE foodspotting person 
I love the beef tofu soup, any chance of posting the recipe?
You’ve found another Foodie! hahahha I can’t say no to food. Ohh… interesting foodspotting. I feel kinda embarrass sharing the recipe as there’s none
. I basically just stripped off most of the ingredients that you’ll find in a proper Korean beef tofu soup – this soup I made is AJ-friendly, but sooo easy to make.
