I particularly love this quote from Richard Branson -  “If somebody offers you an amazing opportunity, but you are not sure you can do it, say yes, then learn how to do it later.”   I am so proud of myself to saying YES to this wonderful opportunity and handle an all-Mandarin interview on MediaCorp Channel.  It's a great start to 2024. 

Discover how Guilt Free Food evolved from a home-based business during COVID, embraced online commerce, and became a trailblazer in the world of pop-up retail in the post-COVID landscape.

When my family first got a dog, I was hesitant, but now he's become part of the family. I love spoiling him and all his furry friends with delicious dog treats. After whipping up some homemade dog cakes, I received numerous requests for the recipe. Hope you can find time to bake for your dog.

At 47, I think I am having lesser years ahead of me.  Grateful for the past that has brought me to this day and grateful for the future that is shaped by both my past and present.   As I cruise thru my late 40s, I begin to realize…

I had basically allowed sugar to be in control of my life.    I treated it as the protector of my life.  In good times, sugar made everything better. Sugar helped me celebrate.  Getting rid of sugar completely is not sustainable.  I love food and food is a social thing to bond in relationships.  I want to enjoy all types of food and I want my family not to miss out on the pleasure of food.  Hence, Guilt Free Food is born with the mission to reduce sugar without compromising on taste for better health. 

When circuit breaker happened in June, 2019, I just want to create less sugar, fluffy cinnamon roll that is suitable for modern day tastebuds.  A year and a half later, Guilt Free Food is featured on Channel News Asia - Tender Loving Food, joining the rest of world, telling my happy space story while dealing with the pandemic.

English muffins that can be made quickly within 1.5hours =).  It's even better than store bought version with NO addictives and preservatives.

This is probably one of the best Lactation Cookie recipes around! I have used them personally to increase milk production when I was nursing both my daughters (exclusive breastfeed for 6 months with Siena and 12 months for Venezia).  They are tasty and functional plus easy to make.  I still bake them often for my family (husband and daughters) cos they nutritious and tasty. I promise you that this is an easy dessert recipe that helps increase milk production in nursing moms with added ingredients like coconut milk, flax meal, Brewer’s yeast, and oatmeal!

Bouncing back from retrenchment has never been easy for me. However, with constant support and blessings from the family, friends and GFF fans, I have emerged stronger and tougher.   There is still hope and opportunity in retrenchment situations. It is up to you as to how you want to handle it. I hope this sharing can give you more clarity as to how you handle your retrenchment.
