While he sleeps in -Bubur Fakhry Grean Peas

Biasala.. before "His Royal Highness" wake up, the cook has to wake up first preparing his meal.

Very deep sleep. Suka tengok baby tido.. rasa nak join skali je,eh!!

Clockwise; Green Peas, Sweet Potatoes (keledek), Potatoes, Sawi, Ayam. Takde dalam gambar beras and ada letak daun bawang juga. (stock banyak katakan) bau bubur pon lebih masyukkk.

For the green peas i just bought the frozen one, macam ini.

Pernah baca dalam website baby mana ntah, frozen veggies is acceptable more than instant baby food dalam botol or kotak. Even,the nutrients in the frozen veggiese are not much destroyed compares to instant purees vegies for babies.Untuk kelainan kita try green peas pulak.

Biasanya nutrients from frozen veggies ni most likely reduced 5-10% je from the fresh ones.So, its ok kalau kita rajin beli sayur campur untuk nasi goreng kita. eh..lari topic.

The nutritional facts of green peas as below copied from wholesomebabyfood.com :

The nutritional value of peas is amazing when you think of the small size of a cup of peas. Did you know that one cup of peas contains more protein that a tablespoon of peanut butter and also provides Calcium, Vitamin A and C and Iron too.

These wonderful little vegetables are a great first "green" food for baby as they are nutritious, and mostly pleasant to eat. When making homemade peas for baby, you may find it tough getting the "skins" to puree smoothly. If this is the case and your baby is not used to textures yet, you might wish to run them through a strainer or sieve.

The Goodness of Peas
Peas (1 cup steamed/boiled)
VITAMINS

Vitamin A - 955.2iu
Vitamin C - 22.72 mg
Niacin - 3.23 mg
Folate - 100.8 mcg
Vitamin B1 (thiamine) - .41 mg
Vitamin B6 - .35 mg

Contains other vitamins in small amounts.

MINERALS

Phosphorus - 187.2 mg

Sodium - 4.8 mg
Selenium - 3.0 mg
Iron - 2.5 mg
Zinc - 1.9 mg

Gambar bubur dah masak takdela pulak.. tapi the colour still orange macam tu because the sweet potatoes colours sre still dominant.

Hmmm............ "Oppa Fakhry Sleeping Style"..o..oo..ooo..

Her Rainbow Cake, His 1st Pre-Birthday Celebration

A few days before, me and hubby kept talking about how fast time flies and Fakhry is turning one by...er next month. My December baby. Kiss overheard us, and asking all sorts of questions like.. how old is he now? confused with months and year,( letih nak explain) and i just rather changed the subject to what kind of cake we shall bake for him instead.

She was so super excited about the cake and suggested .. apalagi daaa... BARBIE cake. Of course i said no.. your brother is a boy,honey. And started to google togather for the cake images.. we searched for Mickey cakes, Baby boy cakes, Ben10 cakes, Flower cakes and finally Rainbow cakes. We feast ourselves with hundreds of fancy cakes pictures and she was amazed with the most colourful cakes, the ultimate Rainbow cake. The decision has been made by the Queen a.k.a kakak Kiss that her little brother should have this cake for his 1st birthday.

Little that i knew, she want to bake the cake like... now. she kept "berzikir" i wanna bake it now eventhough we already explained again and again to her that the boy birthday is another month away.*sigh. Biasala.. kesian pulak rasanye.. i ended up buat juga.

Find a simple butter cake recipe, divided into 5 portions because i only have 5 types of food colouring only and its not even rainbow colours pun but who cares, siaplah juga..version pantas.. and i just need 1 baking tray only. *wink. (sambil senyum jahat). Yela..kalau betul punya rainbow cakes kena pakai 7 trays tau. Different colours with its own separate trays.. idokle,tak ghajin teman. as long the kakak puas hati sudah..

Very busy. She mix all the colours by herself sambil mulut pot pet non stop.

"Mama, kalau tak masak pon sedap juga,". "Jangan rasa banyak sangat, nanti sakit perut, ade ulat dalam perut nanti". Betulla.. kuman salmonella from the raw eggs,kan,kan..

Eh.. Where is the purple colour? Instead of layering them, i choose to dumped its all right away. Mama yang 'rajin' kan. Kiss doesn't notice the different pun. Tengok banyak colours pun dia dah excited habis. Tak ingat dah cakes images she did googled before.

Sorry.. picture blur.. hehe. try buat excuses nampak. Yes, the cakes memang messy. bukan salah gambar. Actually, i just made the buttercream, and Kiss did the decorating parts. Lilin and 'Happy Birthday' tag tu pon tak tau papa dia jumpe mana. i busy attend the baby.. nak nyusu lagi.. eh.excuses lagi for the messy cake.. hehe.

The proud sister adoring her cake. The unguilty baby. In order to satisfy the sister we sang the birhday song, forced the baby to blow the candle ...

and even cut the cake.....

Where is the purple colour gone,meh?.. Very thick layer of creams. i made only half portions of the cake recipe but full portion for the creams. LOL.

Why my purple colours appearance were so little? Where did the others go? Why oh why?

Kiss was so happy. After the cake cutting sessions she even gave a present to her little brother. (she just grabbed whatever toys next to her, erk). Even, the boy pun excited. So, here goes the pre-celebration of his 1st birthday. Cepattnye besar si kecik ni.. tak puas lagi ade baby.

The kakak Kiss request Mickey Mouse cakes la pulakkk..

His Maincourse, Her Dessert

Kiss : mama, nak ice-cream juga.
Mama : Ok, but i will serve it with waffle.
Kiss : No no no.. ice cream je.
Mama : With waffle or no ice cream for you.
Kiss : Oklaa..waffle.

Bukan ape, kalau serve waffle with ice cream, we may reduce her ice cream intake. sebab the waffle will easily make her small tummy full, hence she will not ask for more ice cream. Trick ok!!

I just buy, gardenia vanilla waffle. Toasted it on the pan with some butter togather with almond flakes. (she loves almond, tapi mesti crunchy and hot..mengada kan)

Serve it hot with a scoop of ice cream, almonds and drizzles with honey. Yumms.
Quite healthy la kan apart of the ice cream.

For his maincourse today...

Ikan Tenggiri, pumpkin, cauliflower, potato, spinach (semoga kuat macam popeye,ok) and daun bawang. Beras takde dalam gambar. Tapi is a must. Asian Baby katakan.. tapi tak payah banyak.. nanti tawar, hilang manis pumpkin tu.
Macam biasa, rebus all togather lastly bila nak masak baru letak daun bawang and spinach a.k.a bayam.

One serving.Serve suam.. Even, a baby like him tak suka makan bubur sejuk tau.

Bubur Fakhry - Pumpkin and Kiss's Pizza

okay.. Kiss tak pernah suka roti telur.. Tak sedap katanya. Memang dia tak akan makan tau. Tapi kalau roti sapu jem or nutella, toasted memang laju. Tapi tulah, takkan hari-hari breakfast makan itu je kan.. Last weekend, when visiting MIL she made her roti telur ala pizza.. and she ate slice after slice. Siap puji-puji lagi. See, its all about PRESENTATIONS.Kids memamg macam ni.. benda yang sama,roti telur juga, just twist a little bit and we can trick them.

So, here's the Twist and Trick Pizz recipe. Emm, senang je.. All you need for 1 piece of this pizza is, 3 slices of white bread, 2 eggs, salt, sosej. First, pecahkan telur, whisk it. Tambah garam secukup rasa. Then, carikkan roti kecil-kecil. Lets it soak for few minutes, so roti tu kembang.

Dah kembang just masak atas non stick pan dengan api kecil. Make sure, leperkan. Kata nak buat pizza kan. Ni kononya pizza base la ni. Then, letak toppings nya. I just letak sosej sahaja. Senang and cepat. Tapi kalau letak bawang or veggies pon ok. Pastu, bila dah agak base dia masak, flips it carefully, untuk garingkan sosej je.


Dah siap. Panggil Kiss potong her pizza. And she ate without noticing ia adalah roti telur..hahaha.Definitely, this recipe will be in the list for her morning meals. I makan letak sauce kat atas tu.. kick sikit.

Okay, pagi tadi bubur fakhry letak ini.

Ade pumpkin. Memang sedapppp. Lemak manis, ditambah dengan carrot. Cauliflower and sawi for the fibre, protein from chicken and oh beras for his carbs.(takde dalam gambar). Macam biasa..before masak, rendam seketika dulu sayur dalam filtered water then basuh sambil selawat tau. Supaya anak tak degil, sambil basuh and masak baca Ya Latif (Maha Lemah Lembut) banyak2x kali. heheh. Unfortunately, subuh2 tu ngantuk lupa nak baca.:(

Tada, dah masak. Ni, dah tinggal separuh.. Sebab dah suap dah. Biasa masak sekali dekat 3/4 periuk kecil tu. 3 servings katakan. Letak pumpkin memang sedap. So far, he likes it and got no problems at all to finish it. Alhamdulillah.

Pumpkins and carrots also are very good for the baby, very mild to their tummy, high fibre so tak sembelit and for the nutritional facts i copy from wholesomebabyfood.com lagi.. Pumpkin je.

Pumpkins are jam-packed full of some of the best nutritional compounds around. They are highly loaded with Vitamin A and beta carotene. Beta Carotene is one of the plant carotenoids that when eaten and digested, turns into Vitamin A in the human body. Beta Carotene may reduce the risk of cancer as well as heart disease. It also may be responsible for combating or putting off the degenerative effects of ageing.
Pumpkins are also good sources of potassium, protein, and iron.Pumpkins are wonderfully low in fat, low in calories but high in fiber.

Baby Food a.k.a Bubur Fakhry - Sweet Potato

Biasala.. semua mak-mak pun masak bubur untuk anaknya. Semua nak the best kan. I choose to cook from raw for my baby instead of buying the instant baby food. Alah senang je, rebus-rebus or stim, blender, siap. Kalau prosedurnya macam kena masak rendang, harus I orang pertama beli instant.hehe. Lagipun bubur masak sendiri ni, actually is cheaper, healthier, boleh variasikan setiap hari so baby tak bosan, no added salt or preservatives and fresh.

Hmm..ini jelah masanya nak control pon apa yang dia makan, dah besar macam kakaknya, dah pandai demand nak makan KFC la, McDonaldsla, cupcakesla, pizza, Kit Kat and the lists go on.

Okay ni Bubur Fakhry semalam.. Every morning, subuh2 dah masak. The baby is a morning person. By 7am dah bangun and by 8am he will have his breakfast. Biasa masak untuk 3 servings sekaligus breakfast, lunch 12pm and for his dinner at 5pm. Memang everyday bubur dia seperiuk habis. Alhamdulillah he is not a fussy eater,so far.

Yang oren tu is the sweet potatoes (keledek), kentang, brocolli, sawi, daun bawang sikit untuk bau yang best, ayam and beras. Beras sikit je, baru sedap, lagipun kentang pun carbs jugakan..Rebus semua yang keras-keras dulu, Last sekali letak sawi and daun bawang bila nak masak. Surprisingly, tak payah garam walau sedikit pun, dah cukup sedap. Serba rasa, masin,manis,lemak-lemak macam tu. Tak caya cer rasa.

Yummy.Ini dah blender. He's already 11months. so blend kasar sikit. Tapi kasar sangat dia taknak.. malas kunyah budak ni, tau nak sedut je. Nak cepat kononnya.

Sedikit info pasal Sweet potatoes ni, from wholesomebabyfood.com

The Nutrition Action Health Letter rated 58 vegetables by adding up the percentages of USRDA for six nutrients (Vitamins A and C, folate, iron, copper, and calcium), plus fiber. Sweet Potatoes topped the list with a whopping 582 points; its nearest competitor, a raw carrot came in at 434.

Nutritional Value of Sweet Potatoes (1 medium baked)

VITAMINS:
Vitamin A - 21,909 IUs
Vitamin C - 39.2 mg
Pantothenic Acid - 1.76 mg
Niacin -2.97 mg
Folate - 12 mcg

Contains some other vitamins in small amounts.

MINERALS:
Potassium - 950 mg
Phosphorus - 108 mg
Magnesium - 13.5 mg
Calcium - 76 mg
Sodium - 72 mg
Iron - 1.38 mg

Also contains small amount of copper, selenium, manganese and zinc.

See, sayur keledek dapat no.1 paling bagus untuk baby. Sadly, malays selalu kaitkan dengan angin. Tapi, actually buang angin tu bagus.. improve bowel system baby, so tak kembungla.. ok.

Kids Project - Cuti Sekolah

Hmm.... Nak pergi cuti2 Malaysia, dah kena postponed. Papa very busy. Pergi rumah Atuk Opah sudah. Pergi rumah Wan dan tok Wan sudah... Lepas masak bubur Fakhry, ada lebih half of the potato.. dapat idea, bolehlahh... buka peti ais dig in dig out.. jumpa kobis, sawi and on the table top, ada bawang besar, pon ok gak ni.. (sambil mengimbau kenangan silam masa kat sekolah rendah dulu-dulu)

“ Kiss.. lets do it, ga!!”. Bukan untuk masak, tapi untuk ini..

She’s very ‘into’ arts and crafts ni.. biasalah,kids. Her favourite masa umur 2 tahun was watching Mr.Maker.

Still in her pyjama.. Nanti mandi terus..

So Serious, Adik dah kena ‘shoo’ away..
I let her play, untill dia sendiri rasa penat and insist to stop.

“Kiss, is it ok, tangan Kiss so messy”..(dia tak suka kotor-kotor,penakut sikit) “eh..boleh cuci, dont *worghi,mama” *worry

Bayangkan kertas sebesar ini dia suruh tampal kat dinding. Sambil tak abis2 puji kata cantik. Takpe.. tampal je dalam bilik dia. Jangan bilik mama sudah...Karya Kiss terlalu "agung" untuk bilik mama.:P
Okay.. daa!

Istanbul Aku Datang

Yesterday, a movie date with hubby. Berjaya convince him utk tengok cite ni.. Memang besss. Tak rase boring pun.. Skrip bes. Jalan cerita menarik. Paling bes Lisa surihani.. its good to see sisi lain lisa. From rambut, wardrobe, accesories, perwatakan semuanya fresh, vibrant..full of colours. Dia pakai beg Prada. Sebab dia kan asyik berlakon watak serious and matured. Tapi memang suka fesyen lisa dalam movie ni. Trendy and chic.

Scene paling bes..emm masa Beto cuci rambut lisa yang kena aiskrim tu kot. Very,gentleman, anak sapela ni. Part Beto, bawak lisa jalan2 keliling bandar ngan scooter tu, alahai cutenya.Beto memang berlakon sempoi je.. Tapi menjadi. Agaknye itulah yang dikatakan bakat semulajadi..??

Tomok.. emm ok. dia berjaya mempoyo kan dirinya. Serious annoying dapat boyfriend macam tu. Walaupun banyak komen lakonan dia, I ok je tengok dia berlakon.. what u expect kan..? dia penyanyila.. To me, STILL he succeed to deliver his scene. sbb i rase bengang ngan dia treat his gf macam tu, and rasa ciann pulak bila dia nyesal.. so ok la tukannn..i feel u. tapi napela nak pakai big glasses tu.. perluke untuk menggambarkan student medic? So cliche..

serious, rase nak tengok sekali lagi. Jarang ade cerita romantic comedy yang best buatan Malaysia ni.Thanks Bernard Chauly and team. Terubat kekecewaan selepas tengok cerita Aku terima nikahnya yang so blank....oppssss.
