Full Time Working Mom Recipes (FTWM Recipes)

THE REASON - Here to help

We have a new government in Malaysia after 61 years of trying to change. Of course, Tun M was not the only reason but was one of the reasons why we have a changed. Read online to understand on the win of the Malaysia 2018 election. My reason of writing this post was not because of the election, this is my leisure blog. However, Tun M was some how related to this post. 

7 days ago, Tun M, our current Prime Minister encouraged the Malaysians who stayed in overseas to come back to Malaysia, to make Malaysia great again (read here). Is funny, you must be thinking how this "Make Malaysia great again" related to my Full Time Working Mom Recipes post. I was scrolling through the comments for the post in Facebook. A guy was commenting he doesn't encourage the Malaysians to come back, even though we have our government changed. He mentioned how affordable it is to eat in a developed country like Singapore. One lady, which I am not sure if she is a housewife or working mom replied to have homecook food instead. His replied, however, offended me as a reader, as a woman, as a Full Time Working Mother. He said that unless there is a maid or stay at home mom, else having homecooked food is a luxury. I was offended because I can't help to think, why must there be a maid? Why must it be a stay at home mom? Can't the stay at home have some other luxury time other than cooking? Why can't the guy think of a way to cook for himself, a proper homecooked meal? Why must it be a lady to cook? 

No, I don't hate him. He just made one comment and assumed everything. I have decided to start writing my blog again with a different purpose now. This blog was created much earlier but I didn't bother to write anything because there are so many great recipes writers out there. Previously, I merely wanted to blog about whatever that I have cooked before, but with the availability of Facebook, I don't find any reasons why I should blog. Nevertheless, this guy's "comment" have made me think differently now - I would like to spend some time, to record down how one can make delicious and easy homecook food, without being a SAHM or having a maid. Is not just for moms but hopefully can record down for my son, hoping that he can cook for himself next time. 

Full Time Working Mom Recipes, I am not sure how long it will last, but I do hope it can help someone.
