Baked oatmeal banana with cheese

Baked oatmeal banana with cheese – self-invented again; thought of it during my lunch break. I was all excited to try it out but found myself stuck in the jam. Came home about 15 min later than usual, but rushed to bake this before picking my 10 mo from the neighbourhood nanny. Glad that she loves it!

Ingredients and steps:
1. Mix 3 table spoons grind oat, one egg yolk, handful of (Cheddar) cheese and one tablespoon water together.
2. Slice the ripe banana (I used about 2 banana)
3. Coat the sliced banana with the mixture.
4. Put one drop of virgin coconut oil on each coated slice of banana.
5. Heat the oven at around 180 F.
6. Bake for 10 minutes.
7. Cool down before serving.

There are other bargains which you can find out from their outlets or website.

Clarins products in London, UK

Hubby has come home from London. He bought me Clarins Toning Lotion at Heathrow Terminal. I told him for a 200ml, it is only worth buying if it is below RM90. Guess what? He got me a 400ml at £22.50, which is equivalent to RM116.

At Strawberrynet, it is selling at RM155.50, that’s about 25% savings.

I thought Clarins products are cheap. In London, they are even cheaper. Guess this is why MAS business class can give out free sample Clarins products.

17chipmunks will be introducing baby recipes

Since most of my time is spent on little 17chipmunks, there’s actually less personal shopping time. Rather than leaving this blog to web, I will be introducing baby recipes. I think it is also in line with the objective of this blog – with regards to frugal spending. We just save quite a lot preparing baby food, plus it is healthier (as there is less processed element).

So, look forward for the upcoming posts. 17chipmunks will also continue to talk about bargain buys/spending/service, if there is any spotted! Happy reading! 🙂
