This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Don’t you just love the convenience of a pharmacy near your home? Well, you can pretty much find a Walgreens just around the corner from you wherever you are. I love the idea that I don’t have to travel far if I need to grab a cold medication or whatever late at night.

You would think that convenience comes with a price. Not at Walgreens though. They are now offering a special discount of annual membership for the Walgreens Prescription Savings Club.

For a mere $35 a year, you can sign up for a family membership that covers everyone in your immediate family including your spouse, dependents below age 22 and even your pets. An individual membership costs only $20 a year.

Being a member entitles you to discount prices on over 8,000 brand name and generic medications, flu shots, pet prescriptions and a host of other medical supplies. You also enjoy bonuses when you buy Walgreen’s house brands and photofinishing services.

They have frequent promotions posted up on your favorite social media platforms. Stay updated by liking Walgreens on Facebook and following Walgreens on Twitter. It’s as simple as that. And you can save year round on all your prescriptions and medical supplies. How cool is that!

Sometimes the simplest dishes are the most delicious. On a hot day when anything that’s quick to cook and easy to swallow is a bonus, I like to make steamed eggs.

Only a few ingredients are required for this wholesome steamed egg dish:

• 2 eggs
• 2 salted eggs
• 8 half-shells of water
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• salt and pepper, to taste
• spring onions, fine chopped
• cilantro, finely chopped
• fried shallots

Beat all the ingredients together. Pour into a metal plate and steam over slow heat for 20-25 minutes or until egg mixture is firm. Remove from the steamer and garnish with finely chopped spring onions and cilantro, and a handful of fried shallots.

It’s quicker than applying an eyelash enhancer and I can’t say I’ve ever used one before.

The girls and I have been doing quite a bit of baking over these past couple of weekends. I think they’re getting the hang of it and starting to enjoy the whole idea of measuring, mixing and setting the oven.

Now they’re full of ideas on how to use their baking skills. They’ve suggested baking cakes and cookies as a housewarming gift idea since lately, a few of their friends have been moving into new homes, etc. A pretty good idea, I must say. I’ve always loved giving food gifts.

Chicken rendang is one of our favorite foods but I hardly ever cook it at home and that we only have when we eat out. So on this rare occasion when I was cooking a variety of dishes for my son at college, I decided to make him something I thought he might miss.

This was the very simple chicken in thick spicy sauce that I cooked. Well, okay, I didn’t cook everything, I cheated by using a store-bought rendang paste but the result was pretty amazing nevertheless. This is also the low-fat version because I didn’t add any coconut milk because I didn’t have any.

I used:

• 3 chicken fillets, sliced thick (feel free to use any chicken parts you prefer)
• 1 whole onion, diced
• 1 packet of rendang premix (available in the Asian/sauces section)
• 3 Tsp cooking oil

In a saucepan on medium heat, saute the onions in cooking oil until soft and translucent. Then add all of the premix paste and fry until fragrant. Next add in chicken and a cup of water. Let it simmer for 20-25 minutes on low/medium heat. And you are ready to serve.

So simple that I sent this recipe to my son’s iphone 4 and he was able to cook it himself for dinner right away.
