Honey-Baked Chicken

Anak-anak saya nih pelik sikit. Mereka tidak suka ayam goreng. KFC ke Popeye ke mereka akan beli melts and burger instead... cuma lately ada Texas chicken mereka akan makan separuh jer dari seketul chicken tu... pening sesekali malas nak masak dan nak makan di luar pun mereka akan cakap Umie I dun like fried chicken...

Jika si taruna anak bujang pula dah nampak logo halal pun dia akan tanya lagi Halal ke umie? Adoiiilah...

So jadinya Honey-Baked chicken jugalah yang menjadi kegemaran mereka, tak kisahlah lauk lain... tapi mereka suka makan bersama Chicken Rice...

Western Food

Grilled Chicken, Mashed potato with black pepper shabu beef, garlic bread and clam chowder

Western food apsal di namakan western food pasal orang western makan nih jer kot... hahahahha

Alkisah dah mula cuti sekolah ini... mulalah operasi besar-besaran duduk di dapur sebelom berlibur dan bersantai.

Anak-anak zaman sekarang bukan macam kita dedulu. Makanan melayu lah menjadai santapan harian. Anak-anak sekarang terdedah dengan segala dan keperbagaian jenis makanan hampir di setiap pelusuk negara.

Jika nak makan luar jerr... boleh bankurap jadinya... hahahahhaa... jadi saya bertekad biar penat asal anak-anak puas makan. Dan jika di hidangkan dengan makanan dari masakan ibu sendiri alangkah bahagianya dari air tangan si ibu yang menyuapkan anak-anak. Lagi pun bukanlah mahal sangat jika apabila di masak sendiri berbanding dengan makan di luar darjah...

Apabila kepasar saya memang peruntukkan tidak lebih dari $50 dollar seminggu. Alhamdullillah so far syukur saya dpt mempertahankan kedudukan budget seminggu.

InsyaAllah jika ada usaha pasti ada jayanya. InsyaAllah.

Potato Frittata

Potato Frittata is one of my kids favorite food. One dish meals, Easy Peasy, No Worries. 

Inspired by my favorite Food Network shows and I improved a bit to my children liking.

Anything potato with cheese definitely my children favorites, top with sausages and slice chicken.

4 potatoes peel, cut, boil, drain and perfect mashed with 2 tbsp of butter, 1/2 cup of milk salt, pepper added 2 egg whisked and mixed together.

Slice sausages, the amount up to your own discretion. One big onion mince and thinly slice chicken breast seasoned with black pepper sauce, grilled with cut sausages under low heat till cook.

Chopped parsley, lettuce, sliced tomatoes and shredded cheese. Mixed everything together, grease your pan and bake at 18°C about 30 minutes.

Pastry Cinnamon Rolls

I'm not a chef but a housewife. I love to cook simple, easy ways of cooking delicious dishes for my family.

I'm always looking for something easy and fast to cook. I do try to come up with something new every now and then. But not always, unless I'm in the right mood. Tee hee hee...

Latest, I've created these little tiny pastry cinnamon rolls. 

I bought a packet of 6 instant pastry, smoothen it with butter, brown sugar and cinnamon powder. Roll and cut into small pieces, top with more brown sugar and sliced Almond. Bake at 170°C at about 10-15 minutes bake till you can see little crunchy edges.

Nyum Nyum!! An instant hit! 

Don't be disheartened if you can't get an instant pastry, instead you can use an instant prata. Be happy and be creative!
