Why celery for babies?

Sharing some of the benefits of celery, which i often used in Irfan's everyday meals. In fact i've started using celeries in most of my cooking, be it ayam goreng kicap, ayam masak merah, mihun goreng, and tomyam campur! The aroma that it produces is simply awesome! Celery has longer 'life span' than leek or daun sup, hence decrease the possibilities of wastage :)

All #teenytummy menu contains celery in it. Celery can also become a good finger food for your baby. Kasi je baby pegang and hisap or kunyah, one of the 'healthy' oral exercise for them :)

Last but not least, this is pretty interesting n exciting.

Celery does contain sodium, but it is not the same thing as table salt. The salt in celery is organic, natural and essential for your health.

So tak payah susah2 tambah garam dalam food baby korang ok :)
Seronok kan!

Homemade baby food for Irfan

Today's menu:
White rice porridge with tenggiri, pumpkin n carrot.

I also restocked some frozen pear purees for his snack times. Pureeing fruits or vege sounds easy, but it was soooo time consuming. Imagine yourself peeling the skin of each pear/apple, take out the seeds n cut into cubes before tossing them into pan for cooking. This morning 1 big plastic of pears only yields 5 bottles of 5oz each. Haha i wish i have a helper to just do all the skin peeling n cutting process :p

Have a fruitful n productive weekend peeps!

Homemade muesli bar

made special for my officemates who seems to enjoy munching on healthy snacks yet still be in control with their sugar intakes.

Chicken crabstick roll goreng

Here goes another variation of roti gulung goreng. Instead of using sardin or sausage for the fillings, i stuffed the bread with a combination of chicken, crabsticks and sausage. For a more healthy option, you can chunk in diced carrots, capsicum and holland onions, hence adding some fibres to your meal (which also means taking extra time for my kids to dig each and every bit of the vege and shove them aside haha).

My kids loved this new variation of fillings which makes up for our dinner last night.

Homemade chicken pizza

Another quick homemade dinner that is surely a keeper. Simple, tasty, yet can be considered as a perfect balanced meal for ur little family :) I just use a ready-made pizza doh base that can be bought at any supermarkets i.e. AEON, Jusco, Tesco, etc. I recently bought mine at AEON, 2 pizza base at RM6-7++. Alternatively you can buy them at a much cheaper price (5pcs at RM7++ only!) at any bakery supply stores such as Yummie, Bake With Yen, etc.

For the fillings, i put chicken, button mushroom, crab sticks and sausage. Cook the filling first before u spread them on top of the dough. I spreaded some tomato puree & chilli sauce on the dough before topping up with the fillings. For vegetables, i used capsicum, onions and cherry tomato. Drizzle some mayonis if u like...

and last but not least loads of shredded cheddar cheese!!

i also garnish the top with some oregano or mixed herbs, just to give some aromatic scent when the pizza is baked in the oven.

Done! My eldest said...uhh ni pizza terbaik di alam semesta haha. Well obviously where can u get a pizza with a heaping n generous filling n loads of cheese kan??

Selamat jadi menu berbuka puasa kelmarin. Alhamdulillah settle dah hutang pose sehari..lega sgt!!

Resepi dorayaki or mini pancakes

Not really sure what's the exact difference btwn dorayaki (makanan Doraemon yg femes tuh) and pancake. Upon doing some research over the internet, i found various dorayaki's recipe which almost all will use the same basic ingredients i.e. flour, egg, baking powder.

Hence for today's tea-time i made my vry 1st dorayaki, but using a pancake's recipe which has always been a keeper for quite some time.

You can stuff ur dorayaki with any of ur favorite fillings such as red bean paste, chocolate jam or strawberry jam... me using kaya+peanut butter grape jam. Sgt sedap and fluffy, of course having a twin pair was just not enough!

The tips to making a soft n fluffy pancake..never never pat or press ur pancake batter!

Sosej roll goreng

Kelmarin sardin roll, hari ni melayankan permintaan si Firas yg nk inti sosej macam kawan dia slalu bwk ke tadika :)

Sardin roll goreng

Pagi ni breakfast sardin roll goreng. Pertama kali buat dlm sejarah, haha jangan gelak ye. Memang sempoi je..cuma disebabkan tak pernah beli breadcrumb, so tak pernahla buat :p Alang-alang baru beli stok breadcrumb last wiken, so pagi ni boleh lah kite try. Esok boleh wat sosej roll goreng plaks utk kekanak. Resepi sempoi jer.

Masak inti sardin. Then roll kan roti anda nipis guna rolling pin/cawan/apa2 jelah. Then letakkan inti sardin di sebelah bahagian roti, gulung roti. Gam kan hujung roti dengan telur. Celup dalam telur (dibubuh secubit garam) dan golekkan di atas bread crumb. Then boleh terus goreng :)

Resepi Grilled Salmon with Lemon Butter Sauce

Punyelah mengidam salmon grill, sampai sanggup lari ke AEON Mid Valley time lunch minggu lepas utk cari ikan salmon. Farra kata kekadang AEON ada promo, so kite terjah jelah. Rezeki ari tu salmon cut tak berapa mahal sgt, dan paling best jumpa asparagus tgh promo..satu pek dlm RM5-7++ depends pada berat...mmg cun sgtlah salmon grill pekena dgn asparagus!

Sempoi je nak buat grilled salmon nih. Utk ikan, saya cuma perap dgn garam, lada hitam, butter dan olive oil. Tabur jugak dgn mixed herbs nak kasik wangi. Then grill jelah atas pemanggang ajaib both sides sampai ikan masak. Asparagus dan cherry tomato pon saya grill sekali bersama-sama dgn ikan...tabur jugak garam sket. Kalo rajin, boleh pair kan grilled salmon ni dgn steamed carrot, kacang buncis and brocolli ala2 Chillis..pergh konfem sedapp!

Bahan2 utk lemon butter sauce:

2tbsp butter, sedikit bawang besar didadu, 1tbsp tepung gandum, 1/2cup - 1 cup fresh milk, sedikit garam, sedikit lada hitam, sedikit mixed herbs/daun parsley/rosemary/etc.

Cara nak buat sauce tuh:

Panaskan butter, then masukkan bawang goreng sampai layu sket, masukkan tepung, susu, garam, pepper and mixed herbs...kalo pekat sgt tambahlah susu tuh ok..if taknak lemak sgt tambahlah air masak sket. Last skali squeeze kan sedikit lemon juice dlm kuah tadi...done!

Resepi homemade muesli bar yg sedap!

This recipe is a combination of several recipes that i googled from the internet. Honest confession, it's my very first time eating oats so to speak. I am not really a fan of oats, or muesli, or any other fibre-related food, but the fact that i've gained 3kg within just a month during my last pregnancy check up somehow sent a red alert to the body. The mind is telling that i must do a lil bit of modification to my breakfast meal, no more nasi lemak Pak Man everyday yer!

Before trying out with this recipe, i've recently bought 2 boxes of on-the-shelves ready made muesli bars, Nature Valley roasted almond and Yogood blueberry and cranberry flavours. My review: NV was lil bit too hard to munch, lack of sweetness and pretty bland. Yogood, on the other hand was way too sweet even for a sweet-tooth person like me, probably because of its yogurt coated cream. My staff had also introduced me with her favourite brand called Carman's. Taste-wise oklah but i don't really like it due to the strong hint of cinnamon unless u are a die-hard fan of cinnamon.

 So now lets get back to the recipe. I used 2 cups of rolled oats (brand Pristines, well i just picked up one of the cheapest brand on the shelves haha), 2 cups of honey cornflakes, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of honey and 150g butter (i didnt really weigh the butter, pakai agak2 jer hehe). Melt the butter, sugar and honey together in a medium-sized saucepan. Once melted, mixed together with the oats and cornflakes. Oh u can also use any other cereals to ur liking e.g. rice pops, cocoa pops, bran flakes, nestum, etc.

Then add in your favourite chopped nuts and fruits. In my case i used toasted almonds, walnuts, black raisins and cranberries...tu je pon yg ada dlm fridge sebenarnya :p Again i didnt measure them exactly, just agak2 jer ikut preference memasing la yer. Bila all ingredients dah mixed together, boleh la rasa tahap kemanisan dia. If u find it too sweet, boleh tambah oats and cereals lagik...if kurang manis, add in some honey/melted brown sugar.

Line up your baking pan with greasing paper, masukkan muesli mixture tadi and press them thoroughly and evenly throughout ur whole pan. Tekan2 byk kali kasik mampat yer. Then bake in the oven for 30 minutes or so until the muesli turns into golden brown. Cool them completely, then cut into rectangular shapes or squares & keep into an airtight container.

My review - rasa dia chewy gooey but not too chewy macam Carman's, taklah manis sgt macam Yogood, texture-wise tak keras mcm Nature Valley. In summary it matches our tastebuds perfectly! Surprisingly idlan pon suke and i notice hubby took them as snacks in between meals. Anyway korang adjust lah tahap kemanisan tu ikut citarasa masing2...selamat mencuba!!

Rolled oats+honey cornflakes+walnuts+almond+raisins+cranberries. Mixed all of them together.

Next, add in melted butter, brown sugar and honey. Stir thoroughly the mixture until well-blend.

tossed them into ur baking pan

and press thoroughly sampai mampat!

cut into squares/rectangles once cooled completely

say bye to ready made muesli bars! cewahhh



Resepi homemade chicken fingers

Senang je nak buat chicken fingers sendiri..yang penting anda dpt kontrol kandungan bhn2 yg digunakan..tak payah letak lemak or bhn2 lain yg tak sepatutnya diletak mcm instant frozen food yg lain. Tapi tak dinafikan kena extra rajin sket la kan...kalo x gagahkan diri ke dapur mmg tak jadi jugak hehe

So bhn2 yg saya letak adalah isi ayam, kentang, carrot, sedikit daun parsley, garam dan black pepper. Kentang & carrot rebus and lenyekkan dulu. Ayam kena blend hancur..then baru campurkan dgn bhn2 lain tuh.

Kemudian boleh bentukkan ikut citarasa memasing..bulat bole..leper bole..mcm fingers bole..ikutlah! masa nak bentukkan tuh mix sket dgn tepung jagung, then celup dlm telur, last skali baru coat dgn nestum atau bread crumb..ikutlah apa bhn yg ada kt dapur korng.

Kalo nk trus ngap, bole goreng or bakar dlm oven. Kalo nk frozen, susun chicken fingers dlm loyang n frozenkan dlm sejam dua...bila dh keras sket baru transfer dlm ziplock bag or apa2 bekas yg korng ada. Sonang je kan! :)

chicken fingers lined up and ready to freeze!

fried version.

Extra chicken fingers tossed into the zip lock bags, sealed and went into freezer :)

Cheezy chicken quesadillas

Breakfast yg simple tapi sangat mengenyangkan.
Senang je nak buat.

Utk fillings, korang boleh varietykan ikut kesukaan masing2.
Isi ayam, daging, chicken strips, chicken burger, fingers, etc.
Kalau rajin tambah button mushroom...kena msk tau isi ayam/daging/mushroom nih.
Masak atas pan buh minyak sket je..nak sihat gunalah olive oil. Tambahkan salt + black pepper sket.
Then lepas masak isi dia, susun atas tortilla wrap, bubuh cili sos+mayonis+any dressings...last skali tabur grated cheddar/parmesan byk2...and bakar for few minutes.
 Lepas tu utk mak pak, saya bubuh salad and tomato cherry.
Utk kekanak, sayur is a big no-no...kalau bubuh mesti depa reject :(

Potong bentuk pizza..jadiklah cheezy chicken quesadillas. Rasanya sama je mcm chicken wrap betul tak? Cuma chicken wrap dibalut/digulung...tak dipotong mcm bentuk pizza.

 

the last batch of instant chicken fingers. Weekend ni nekad nak buat homemade chicken fingers sendiri...at least boleh control kandungan isi dalam dia :)

Churros for brekkie!

Churros with milk chocolate dip and cinnamon-sugar coating for today's brekkie. We were supposed to join a senamrobik at the padang organized by TS Kelab Wanita at 730am, but kids woke up quite late, hence senamrobik dlm mimpi jelah!

 

 

 

realized that the choc dip i made was quite a lot..but later after they finished up the churros, ammar took slices of bread and ate them with the chocolate..sampai licin bekas tuh! :p haishhhh

Blueberry cheese tart

My last update b4 hari raya i presume. These cuties took me about 3hrs in the kitchen. From the shell making..up to the baking time perghhh. Tedious, nice n looks appealing..tp bila mkn kejap je abis!!! hehe
Anyway this yr i dont bake any cakes for raya. Problem to store the cake in my mom's fridge which always operate n occupied at its full capacity. Problem no 2 is ofcoz malas la kan..enough said :p
Today's theme is spring cleaning! Hubby is sweet enough to change the curtain (well after all every yr he was incharged of our curtain..i is fail bab psg curtain! haha bocor rahsia), Idlan assisted to vacuum the house, Firas helped me to clean n wash the tart casing, and Ammar as usual refused to do anything other than playing wif ipad! ok takpe kasik can sementara dia masih 'baby' in the house esok bila dh besar konfem mama kerah tenaga jugak :)
Packing is 80% done. Lemau giler bila pk. Esok double lemau time nk unpack.
Massive traffic every where towards east n north since yesterday. Traffic is crawling real bad..i hope everyone will hv a safe journey towards ur destination insya Allah.
We'll be celebrating our first Eid in Ampang yeyyy. After lunch we'll depart to Kulim Kedah insya Allah. Kids keep asking "bila kita nk blk kampung nih". Kids being kids..i guess i was just like them during my childhood yrs hehe.
So till then. Selamat menjalani ibadah puasa..dan Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to all my friends, readers, silent readers, peminat, etc haha. Maaf Zahir Batin dr kami sekeluarga..moga anda semua ceria dan sihat di hari raya amin.

Beef lasagna

Puas mencari lasagna sheet di nsk, 99 speedmart n kedai runcit..semua misi gagal. Dr last week ngidam nk wat lasagna. Mujur ada sahabat baik yg sudi kasi extra lasagna sheetnya...tq yer Fara..jasamu kukenang!!
Inti lasagna senang je. Meat sauce tuh tumis bwg holland, bwg putih, minced meat, button mushroom, carrot, capsicum n tomato puree. Perasakan dgn garam gula n black pepper. adik iparku buh nenas sama..lg sedap!
white sauce pon senang je. 2tbs butter, 2tbs flour, fresh milk n cheddar. Agak2 je yer milk n cheddar tuh..msk smpi kuah pekat.
Cara assembly:
meat sauce-lasagna-meat sauce-white sauce-lasagna..ulang2. last skali mesti white sauce n tabur grated cheddar n oregano. Kebetulan oregano abis..saya buh je mixed herbs. Then bakar for 40min-50min depends on ur oven.
So hari ni kita mkn beef lasagna yer. Ku goreng jugak mee sebagai sampingan. Mee kering tanpa asid borik ni dibeli drpd jiran..texture halus lebih kurang meggi...harap2 sedap. Sepeket rm5..mmg mahal sket dr mee kuning biasa...tp sihat sbb takde asid borik dan kapur :)
