in #foodyesterday

Yay It's Thursday!

Aaaannnnd super sunny 🌞❤️❤️🌞 My kind of day, woo-hoo! Here is hoping wekeend will be as beautiful, maybe I can fill up the 2 new raised bed gardens I got with soil and move the plants out at last🤞🤞🤞🤞

Too many projects for this year, and it's May already. Feels like I am running out of time ALREADY 😅 How about you?

I have a simple steamed cake recipe to share today. This cake has to be chilled overnight before serving, for the custard to develop flavor and moist-ness 😊
