Banana Frozen Yogurt

Right before we left to go on a month long holiday in November, we had a bunch of bananas that had started to ripen up very fast. I had this grand delusion of making a big batch of banana bread muffins in the air fryer, but as we all know, Procrastination and I are old…

Juicy Jelly Icy Pops

I bet if you go into your pantry, you will find more than a few packets of jelly crystals. I’m right, aren’t I? When I’m living in Australia, I normally have at least at least 5 packets of jelly crystals in the pantry. There are just soooo many flavours, I just want to get one…

White Chocolate Hazelnut Spread

Would you believe that I had made this at the beginning of November? You would? Yes, I know, I had been Little Miss Procrastinator in the good ol year that was 2015. Now that Miss G is going to school for 5 days a week and an extra hour a day (my baby! 😭) I…

Happy Holidays

Have a very safe and happy holiday season, from my kitchen in Singapore to yours! XO Mandi

Cold Brewed Overnight Coffee

It’s been an interesting few months over here on the Red Dot. The MM family has now been in Singapore for 2.5 months, and during that time we’ve moved into our flat, caught up with some old friends, celebrated Miss G’s 2nd birthday, and distantly welcomed our little newborn nephew into our family. And I’m…

Top 5 to Try in July!

I know, I know, it’s been ages! To be fair, there has been a lot going on in my world. This week, my family and I (and my kitchen!) upped and moved ourselves back to Singapore! Yes, I said back. For those of you who don’t already know, myself and CTO spent the first 2.5…

Happy Easter!

Wishing everyone a Happy Easter and Good Egg Hunting tomorrow! XO Mandi

Disney’s “Frozen” Elsa’s Icicles

How crazy has the whole “Frozen” phenomenon been? Even months after it’s been out, there is still so much merchandise out there, and every time I go out to my local shopping centre I see at least 2 little girls dressed up as Elsa. I don’t remember a Disney 2D movie being this popular since…

Strawberry Coconut Popsicles

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic Chrissy and firecracker season, and are ripping and rearing for a great new year! Did anybody make any resolutions? I didn’t, but I’m going to try and do the same thing I do every year; lose a bit of weight. I did pretty well…

Merry Christmas!

Wishing every one of my readers and followers on Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest a very Merry Christmas, and a safe and happy holiday season with your loved ones! See you soon, xo Mandi

‘Hawthorn’ Chocolate Honeycomb Ice Cream

Gourmet ice cream. We love the thickness, the supreme fattiness of the cream, and the way it clings to the spoon and coats your tongue as it glides down your throat. We love the 1002 flavours available, the exotic ingredients, and the posh names that have way too many words in it. But what we…

Sausage Rolls

As I wrote in my last post (Chocolate Peanut Butter Spiders), there are some foods that are a must at an Australian kid’s party. Or really, at any Aussie lunch/afternoon function. And tradition dictates that there must be at least 1 item on the menu that has puff pastry as the primary ingredient. For if…
