Dinner "on time"

Being a "on time" brainy mama, I'm like most of the working mothers, need to rush to fetch kids from the childcare centre and will only reach home around 7pm. That is dinner time! So what's for dinner?

Well, I'm a strong believer of home-cooked food is always better than "outside" food (i.e. packed food). Hence, in order to ensure food is ready on time, I depend on my 2 great helpers - my thermal cookers!

To my family, soup is the essence of the meal so I'll usually boil my soup at night or early in the morning so that it is ready by the time I reach home :) Little tip - You'll have to prepare the ingredients the nite before if you want to boil in the morning.

For main dishes, I'll usually have steam fish and simple stir-fry vege or meat that can be prpeared within 10 mins.

On top of that, it's a must to have an electric rice cooker, one that can preset time to cook, so rice will be ready, too!

Sometimes, I would cook "special all-in-one rice" like pumpkin rice and chicken rice, etc, early in the morning in the rice cooker!
