Cakes, cookies & dreams

In my opinion and being a mum of 3, i understood that i really needed to Plan a weekly Menu every sunday morning (while the boys are having swimming at 7 am). 



First thing to do is to see what i didn't use the week before, take a look of your fridge, freezer and pantry. Second, after i do my menu i can do a grocery list with the things i need to buy at the supermarket. That way i will be more efficient and don't spend money in things that i don't need. (But I always ended up buying a few extra things 🤦🏻‍♀️)
I have my own Paleo menu (that i share yesterday, you can see the link here: http://cakescookiesdreams.blogspot.com/2018/11/paleo-lifestyle.html) and i do another one for the all family with the school lunch and snacks because i don’t thing they kids need to cut in all the carbs and sometimes they can have a treat. Every sunday I bake bread (for almost all week), cookies, a cake or sometimes cinnamon rolls (their favourites) or madeleines or brazilian cheese bread for t…

After my first article about my life change (you can read it here: http://cakescookiesdreams.blogspot.com/2018/06/the-sleeping-beauty.html ), I received a few emails/messages to share more details about my Paleo diet. I already did a post about that in Portuguese but for my new (no portuguese) followers I decided to share what and how it works my new healthy lifestyle, my weekly menus and my routine!

I will never have my 18 years old body back but im sure i can be more healthy, energetic and confident that i used to be, even after 3 kids!

The biggest challenge in Singapore is how not to spend a fortune in food every month, mostly because we are a family of 5 and i really try to give the best meals to them! You have many places that you can buy wonderful veggies and fruit, of course the wet markets are the cheapest ones[not my favourite option though because im very sensitive to strong smells, like Durian, lamb, fish, etc), the best one in my opinion is the WholeSale Center in Pasir Panjang but you need to buy big amount (you always can share with your friends). But after 5 years i just discovered a very good way to buy the best veggies and fruits in Singapore that doesn't crash my budget, Avo&Co, you can take a look in the website and order a small or big basket, add some favourite veggies/fruits and just wait for the delivery at home. This service is super convenient when, in my case, im always struggling with no time for anything! The link for the website is here: www.avoandco.com. They also have red meat from…
