Baked Seashell Pasta with Mushroom Sauce

I like to bake these for lunch, its easy and Ning loves them.

Chicken Broth Pasta

One of Ning's favourite pasta is this Seashells, . She enjoys scooping the ingredients and placed them inside the shells before she eats them.

I'll boil chicken or ribs broth, store them in small portions in the freezer. This one is made of chicken bones and carrot. This way, its easy to repare pasta or noodle soup for Ning's breakfast or lunch. Sometimes I'd also just use them as soup for her dinner.

Mini Rasberry White Chocolate Cupcakes

I was baking some cupcakes for Ning's classmates yesterday, used up the ramains of the batter for these mini ones. They are really tiny and cute. Ning ate 8 and still want more.

Rice Pancake

We have plenty of left over rice from our last mj session. So this morning, I decided to try a Rice Pancake recipe from a Kid's Meal cookbook. Its easy to make and really yummy, ning's daddy likes them too.

Here is my modified version of the recipe.

1 bowl of cook rice

2 eggs

1 tbsp fish sauce or soya sauce

2 tbsp cooked peanuts

2 slices of ham (diced)

pinch of pepper

The original recipe calls for chopped spring onions and deep fried anchovies, you can add them if you like.

Mix all ingredients in a bowl

Heat oil in a non-stick flat-bottom frying pan, pour 2 spoonful of rice mixture and pan-fry till both sides turns golden brown.

Serve with your favourite chilli sauce or sweet sauce for the kids.

Fried Tang Hoon Omelette Soup

1 egg
1/4 bundle tang hoon (soaked till softened, cut into 2cm-long section)
20g minced meat (I use chicken)
1/2 tsp chopped preserved vegetables (dong cai)
1 bowl of stock (I use chicken soup)
some wolfberries
1 tsp oil

Beat egg, add tang hoon, meat and dong cai, mix further.
Heat oil, pour in egg mixture and fry into an omelette.
Break it up into slices using the spatula
Add in stock and wolfberries and boil for another 10mins
Serve with rice

Fish Porridge

Simple fish porridge with tomato and spinach, all the goodness in a bowl.

Stir-fry Shrimp and Cauliflowers

Ning can tell what she eats by tasting, today when I gave a mouthful of this, she chewed and said.. "shrimp!" then I asked, "and what?" She said "rice!"... Okie, she still can't say cauliflowers, but I'm not expecting that from a less than 2 years old either..

Anyway, she loves this, so I'm sharing the recipe.

2 Large Shrimp - diced
2 tbsp Cauliflowers - diced
1/2 tsp oyster sauce
1/2 tsp garlic - chopped
1/2 tsp oil
2 tbsp water

Boil cauliflowers in water and a pinch of salt till soften, set aside.
Heat oil and fry garlic, add shrimp and fry till cooked.
Add cauliflowers, oyster sauce and water
Fry for another 1 min.
Serve with rice.

Steam Egg Toufu

Ning had these for lunch today. Steamed egg toufu, topped with minced pork/carrot/sweet peas/mushrooms. I mixed everything together and season with a little corn starch and soya sauce, place a small portion on each egg toufu and steam them in the rice cooker while I cook the rice. Easy right? :)

Egg Pancake

Ning is a egg lover, she'll eat eggs cooked in anyway. She likes ham, mushrooms, toufu, fish, prawns, crab, chicken, pork and she'll always eats her greens... Actually, she eats everything! Did I also mention chocolates, marshmallows, ice creams and jelly... and she love love love soup!

Therefore, its easy to prepare her meals. She'll eat whatever I cook. I always try to make them look colorful and pretty, so she'll get excited and very keen to eat.

For this egg pancake, I steamed egg with spinach and ham, its easy to prepare, and goes well for her with rice.

Mini Cheese Sausage Rolls

Bought some of these tiny cheese sausages from Japan during our holiday. I rolled them in bread and lightly toasted them. Ning finished her scrumble eggs and started "playing" with the bread, trying to dig the sausages out of the bread... Aarruggh....

Trio Color Bento

During our holiday in Japan, one of the easiest meal I gave Ning was a bento like this. We can easily buy them from their convenient store such as FamilyMart or AM/PM. They will heat it up abit at the cashier when we pay and its ready to eat. Mine here is a simple version, what we get there for around 350yen consist of stuff like these and some fried items on the side, such as chicken nuggets, meat balls etc. I should have took a photo, sorry...

My 1st bento for Ning's dinner. Consisting of rice with fried salmon, shredded egg, buttered spinach and miso soup with egg tofu. Ning was very excited to see it and she enjoyed every bits of it!

As you can see, I am enjoying cutting flowers with my cookie cutter.
and I got the cute lunch box from Daiso in Japan for 100yen.

My darling had a little jelly for desert today.

Minced Chicken with Ham Bits

Made with love.. for my little princess

Pan Fried Cod with Mushrooms

On our recent 10 days trip to Tokyo/Osaka, Ning's meal times were distorted. She had only half a doughnut for lunch one day, and skipped meals for at least twice.. Every mealtime was a battle for me, nothing seems to interest her. She was too distracted by everything else, and never seems to be hungry. But its really obvious that her litttle tummy is getting flatter and flatter each day.. its driving me crazy... I wonder how many parents out there gets as panicky as me when their little ones dun eat well.

Now that we are back, I try to make up for her lost lbs. Here's a healthy yummy lunch I cooked for her, I am so pleased she eat up everything on her plate.

Pan-fried Cod with mushrooms, Ning finished up eveything on her plate with a small bowl of rice.
Fish seems to get more costly lately, a small portion of cod fish I bought from Supermarket costs S$8.

Cookie and cream ice cream on banana (coudn't find my chocolate syrup). A little bonus for her whenever she finish all her lunch. She gets to eat her portion of fruits as well. Ning loves ice cream so much that she can say "ice kim piss".. she meant "ice cream please..."

Cheese Toast

Ning had these cheese toast for breakfast this morning. I brushed some butter on the outside and "toast" them in a wok over the stove, pressed them flat when the cheese soften so they'll stick together, thin and a little crispy. Just right for her teething gums.

Mine had a slice of honey baked ham in them. Hmm... Ham with Cheese.. match made in heaven!
