Mac and Cheese with Chicken and Broccoli

Magically and fortunately, my 3 year old loveeeessss broccoli! And it’s quite weird that she won’t eat mac and cheese unless there’s broccoli in them. You make mummy happy Aleysha! hehe!

Close family and friends pretty much know how crazy I am over cheese cake. I seriously am. Thanks to who ever invented it! However, since I have a small sized fridge and I have plenty of precious treasures stored in it, I can’t really make a big batch of cheesecake to be chilled in there …

Cheese Steak Sandwich
