I Want to Cook For My Family

CookForFamily_Logos

The I Want to Cook For My Family Campaign is initiated by Daniel Ang of DanielFoodDiary.com to gather 100 bloggers to cook for their family. Most of us bloggers spent most of our time outside attending events and food tasting session. At times, we are so caught up with our own personal life that we forget about the love ones in our family. The campaign helps to remind us to take a step back to do something and spend time with our family members.

Wrapping up the 3 course meal was the Pork Ribs Claypot Rice. If you own a Happy Call Pan, claypot rice can be easily prepared in the ease of home.

As you can see, cooking a meal for the family does not need to be fancy and can be readily prepared. Greatly appreciated Daniel Ang for initiating the I Want to Cook For My Family Campaign giving me the opportunity to cook and spend some quality time with my family.
