I have wanted to try Kale for a long long time. Saw them at Tesco and grab them. Tried the reci[e by Pioneer woman, very simple, ingredients are kale, garlic, parmesan cheese, {child flakes, bacon and mushroom - are my own addition}. Turned out very well, will buy them again.

Cabbage patty

Came across this cabbage pancake done by Maria Cordero in her cooking show. I changed her recipe a bit by adding garlic powder, cayenne pepper, carrot and dried sakura shrimp to the mixing ingredients of cabbage (shredded), breadcrumbs, black pepper, salt and eggs. The original recipe was to pan fry the pancake but am too lazy so I opted to bake them at one go. Finish the cake with okonomiyaki sauce, mayo and chili sauce.

Toys

My first attempt in making soft toys. Jaden has a year end project. He chose to make soft toy and guess what? he chose "Spiderman", his latest obsession. We bought materials and finished the project on time. As there are leftover materials, I came across making "dog" soft toy using socks in youtube. So here there are my first ever....

first try- look awful, more like a voodoo doll

second try - all hand sewn costume, not bad

back view, the spider logo was so hard to sew as my eye sight is turning bad due to ageing 

sock dog, without the eye

Complete!

Baked omelette

Ingredients for baked omelette are red and yellow capsicum, ham, chives, mozzarella and parmesan cheese, eggs and bread as the base. Oil the base of the baking tray to prevent any sticky situation. Prepare egg mixture add some black pepper, cayenne pepper, onion and garlic powder with some salt. Cut everything into cubes and lay them on the bread. Spread some cheese on the veg and pour the egg mixture. Baked at 180 for about 20mins.

Sambal Telur

I remembered we cooked this dish during one of our SRT in school, quite a nostalgic dish! Instead of rice I prepared macaroni to go with it. For the sambal I blended dried chillies, shallots, onions, garlic and ginger. Since I do not have tamarind paste in stock, I tried using apple cider, huh... not bad the taste. But to get the sambal taste, just add some ikan bills stock, salt, sugar, tomato and child sauce, guarantee dapat!

Katsudon

While browsing "Just One Cookbook", this caught my eye. The chef baked her pork cutlet, which is healthier. So here it is, my baked breaded juicy pork cutlet with eggs in simmering dashi broth on hot steamed rice ( katsudon) served with hot miso soup (store bought). Nice japanese breakfast!
