Lemon-Poppy seeds muffin

Poppy seeds are usually customary in flavoured bread, cakes, rolls and cookies. They are essentially the oilseed derived from the poppy plant, however, these seeds do not contain the narcotic properties as the opium poppy, though the plant contains alkaloids like morphine, the ripe seeds used for bakery or culinary contain only traces which does not cause any form of addiction.

They give the following benefits:
1) They are effective in quenching thirst, fever, inflammation and constipation.
2) Supply our daily dose of minerals, such as, iodine, manganese, zinc, magnesium and copper.
3) The oil from the seed is useful in treating carcinoma as it contains monounsaturated fatty acids.
4) They contain linoleic acid that helps in preventing heart disorders.

This is my first time using poppy seeds. Very interested in trying poppy seeds recipe. Just nice for my girls meet-up tomorrow. Recipe adapted from MarthaStewart with some minor adjustment.

New year 2016

Happy New Year 2016!

Following up on my previous post, One needle, one thread, I couldn't finish the cross-stitch yesterday but I made it today! Good accomplishment to start the new year. ;)

As a grown up doing cross-stitching, I find it very therapeutic. I sound like an old lady. haha.

While doing this, I actually had a lot of thinking. I sound like an old lady even more now.

Anyway, still very addictive and satisfying as when I was a child.

Hot pink tea anyone?



Globe amaranth tea, also known as “Thousand Days Red,” grows readily in the tropical regions of Central America.  This blossom thrives year round in warm temperatures, and can come in glorious shades of purple, red, lilac, pink, and even orange.  These little flowers commonly surprise tea drinkers as the center bud of “blooming teas,” or balls of teas that expand and unravel like beautiful blooming flowers as they steep in hot water.

Globe amaranth tea is a herbal (caffeine-free) tisane known for containing many vitamins (A, B6, K and C), folate and riboflavin. The pretty pink flowers also contain numerous minerals such as calcium, potassium, iron, copper, magnesium, phosphorus and manganese. This tea offers several health benefits including reducing fatigue, improving skin, lowering blood pressure, even preventing grey hair!
