Friday Sandwich Night

It's uncommon for us to have sandwich as our main meal and something different always spice up the day and excite the girls. 

Sandwich Nite

I made 2 loaves of whole-wheat bread on Friday noon for our sandwich night and we managed to complete 1 loaf, better than what i anticipated, the 2nd loaf was meant to keep for later days  ;).  Stomach was too full to give more space for the ABC soup that i cooked.
 

Home-made whole-wheat bread for sandwich night 


The girls just loved the two fun sandwiches that i made for them using the cookie cutters.  They then had fun making their own subsequent sandwiches.

Flower & butterfly sandwiches for my two beloved daughters

When they saw daddy's sandwich, they called it 'stack up sandwich'! (lol)
 

'Daddy's stack-up sandwich'...according to the girls


We had a good dinner time, in fact very full and satisfying dinner with our yummy home-made sandwich. 

Sandwich.....Anyone??

 Asked my girls: 'Want more sandwich night?' 
'YES!!!'  answered aloud.  ;D

Simple Kids Meal

Simple Kids Meal arranged specially for my 5 yrs old

This new way of food presentation made my little lovers felt excited and thought it was some kind of special food.  They just can't wait to taste.  Whenever i noticed them to start exhibit slow in eating, here come my little trick to overcome it by injecting some fun in their diet.

And this was presented to my 2 yrs old

It just took minutes to put together and it was worthy when i saw the cute sunny smile on their little faces.  :)

I made this by using a cookies cutter to form the desired shape of the fried rice and added some carrot, pork floss, serve together with a bowl of bitter melon tofu soup for a complete meal.

Ingredients/tools:

• Fried Rice
• One Carrot (or baby carrot if you have)
• Pork Floss
• Cookies cutter (any design that you like)

Step:

• Thoroughly clean the carrot and cut into pieces (you may cut it anyway you like)
• Place a cookies cutter on a serving plate, fill the cutter with the rice and press the rice down firmly to hold the shape
• Remove the cutter
• Decorate the serving plate with carrot and pork floss (or anything that you like for the meal)
• That's it! 

Serve it to your little ones and see how they like it!   ;)

Elmo Smiley Treat

Today is my cleaning day.  While i was busy doing house cleaning, my two little lovers also busy want to help.  They then clean their toys and the play house (Well...in my view, they're playing more than anything else.. ;P).

Anyway, good gesture should have positive reinforcement and here come their furry friend, Elmo Smiley treat for their afternoon tea-time.

When i first came across this interesting idea, i told myself i need to do it for my two little lovers one day. 

My 1st time of preparing this was back in February and the smiley face was ugly done then due to i was rushing to put the girls for their afternoon nap.  However, they were still very excited with it. 

This time, i did it with a much nicer look and what is better still, i added the girls favorite M&M this time.  ;)

Ingredients (for 2 Elmo Smiley Treat):

• 1 Orange, cut in half 
• 6-8 frozen Strawberries
• 1 banana, sliced in circles
• 1 baby carrot, cut out both the ends for use
• 4 raisins
• 4 M&Ms candy

Steps:

1. Cut the orange in half, use a spoon to scoop out the insides orange of each half.  Cut the inside orange into pieces and set aside
2. Blend the frozen strawberries in a blender/food processor (I squeeze them using the omega juicer)
3. Transfer the blended smoothie into the empty orange halves
4. Place two banana slices at the top of each smoothie for Elmo's eyes, top the banana slices with a M&M each
5. Add the baby carrot end below the bananas for Elmo's nose
6. Place two raisins together on each smoothie for a smile
7. Transfer to the serving plate, surrounded with the orange slices and remaining banana slices

Then, time to enjoy this Elmo's Smiley Smoothie!
