Wollaa~! Is a failed proof no-recipe meal, apple slices top with cashew nut butter as quick snack. Try it ! It is able to fill a tiny stomach, cashew nut butter is a nut free spread - great for kids with nut allergic.

Chicken with carrot wrap

Inspired by Top 10 Kid-Friendly Wrap , i decided to make wrap for my kids breakfast, i thought it would be easy. I found that, to wrap the ingredients nicely is an acquired skill@! I am determine to learn as i make more because it is a fun eating experience for me and the kids. My children love to participate in tossing in the ingredients too.

From the link, there are tonnes of variety that could refer to, i choose the chicken wrap for a start. I also cook the carrot slightly as my daughter told me she prefers it cooked than raw. My next 'wrap' project would probably be one that using avocado, but that would be after i replenish avocado in my kitchen. Lets move on to the chicken wrap recipe.

Ingredients -
1 cup antibiotic and hormone free chicken fillet (cut small)
1 small size carrot (cut into thin slices or texture that your kids like)
some natural cheese (shredded)
some cream cheese (soften)
2 rye wraps (shown in picture below)

Method -
FOR THE FILLING
1. Marinade chicken pieces with some sea salt, thyme and pepper. Leave for 10 minutes.

2. Stir fry chicken till cook. Put aside.
3. Stir fry carrot till it is slightly soften. Dish aside.

TO PREPARE THE WRAP
1. Lay 1 wrap across a flat working top.
2. Spread some cream cheese. (note not too much as it would be heavy and the wrap will tear)

3. In sequence, put chicken, carrot and top with cheese.
 

   

4. Start to roll from one end, hold firmly while rolling till all the ingredients are fully covered
and it is intact. Cut and divide into half using a sharp knife.
5. Serve immediately or chill to keep fresh before consuming.

Organic Banana Muffin with oat topping

I have made many versions of banana muffins. For this one, i tried without oil - it is slightly dry. But it goes very well when eat with cream cheese. Since i am running out of cinnamon powder, i only use nutmeg powder and the outcome still good.

Ingredients -
2 medium size banana (mashed)
1 kampung egg
1 tsp organic vanilla extract
1/8cup filtered water + 2tsp organic chia seed (mix for 5 minutes)
3/4 cup organic self raising flour
1tsp nutmeg powder
Some rolled oat for sprinkle

Method -
1. Mash banana. Add in egg.
2. Add in all the rest of the wet ingredients.
3. Add nutmeg powder and flour. Mix well.
4. Transfer the batter into muffin cups. Sprinkle some rolled oats on top. Press the oat slightly to make sure it sticks well to the batter (use a small spoon).
5. Bake in preheated oven at 180c for 30 minutes. Turn on the fan and increase temperature to 190c for the last 5 minutes.
6. Serve with some cream cheese.

Yield 6 medium size muffins.

Pure Organic Cocoa Pancake

Its been a while since my last post and i decided to finally spend some time to record what i prepare on daily basis once again! Just like before, i prefer to improvise simple and straightforward recipe and use ingredients that i have to prepare a dish. I do not have time for complicated or long steps cooking anymore lol!

Whilst i was suppose to make the usual banana pancake, i realised i ran out of banana as well as cinnamon powder, which i usually use when doing a quick banana pancake. I realised i only have flour and egg to be precise for the making of pancake. I took the idea of tossing in some organic carob powder which we have from the fridge.

That made a whole lot of difference !
