Overnight Oat

Sometimes bila pikir kena makan oat, rasa kembang anak tekak. Zarin suggested overnight oat. Sejuk dan nyaman je bila masuk tekak.

Sangat senang nak prepare oat ni. Just soak 3-4 tablespoon of quick cook oat dalam 1 1/2 cup of milk in a jar. Pastu simpan dalam fridge overnight. Serve with honey, sprinkle some dark choc chips or any topping of ur liking. Voila! dah siap :D

Breakfast with Oat

How do you take oat in the morning?

Currently this is how I prepare my oat. Aku sprinkle with some poppy seeds, dried cranberry and some blueberries.

The Best Sambal Nasik Lemak

Every weekend, nasik lemak has become a routine Sunday morning menu. Hubby and Iffah is crazy over this sambal nasik lemak. This sambal nasik lemak is super easy and super delicious. Maybe jugak because it is so simple, maka rasa dia amplified.

See, even the mug is smiling.. hehe

Roti Jala & Kari Sardin

Err.. aku rasa aku dah jatuh cinta dengan roti jala. Semalam, aku buat roti jala dengan kari sardin pulak. Kan semalam hari malas, thus, the kari sardin. Kalau hari rajin, mau aku buat kari daging ke, kari udang ke. Dah lama sebenarnya aku tak masak kari sardin tu. Tak sangka, dah lama tak makan, rasa sedap pulak. Licin periuk. Roti jala aku buat 2 batches.

Iffah balik from school semalam, complain sakit kepala. So, dia skipped KAFA. Aku cuma hantar Iman sorang je. Balik from hantar Iman KAFA, badan iffah panas, demam pulak anak aku sorang tu. With Shariff and Raina around, memang aku tak boleh nak pay attention pada Iffah. Kesian Iffah. By malam, demam dia dah kebah sikit, but this morning, panas lagi.

Alhamdulillah hari ni hujan, at least jerebu tak teruk sangat. I hope iffah will be well enough untuk pegi tengok cerita Harry Potter tonite. Yes, we're going to watch Harry Potter mlm ni. Aku dah beli tiket since last week. Baru 2 days ago aku pegi ambik tiket kat TGV, booking dah seminggu  lebih. Nowadays, it's easier to buy online then pegi collect tiket. Tak payah la aku susah2 nak beratur panjang.

Argh!! I'm tired!

Semalam I went to urut badan kat rumah K.Anum in Taman Permata. Adula.. banyak sungguh angin. Ni angin cina selatan or angin barat daya pun aku tak tau. But, yang pastinya, angin dasat, ibarat puting beliung dalam cerita Thor tu. My body is so berangin that, nak makan pun tak lalu. Dah la mandi tak basah sebab malas nak mandi.. hehehe.. Teruk betul aku ni kan?

Today I started my day early walaupun sepatutnya aku cuti dari memasak dan yang sewaktu dengannya. My friend, Alie, ordered Lemon Bars. So, pagi2 lagi aku dah bake Lemon Bars for her. Lepas siap bake the Lemon Bars, aku pegi gym untuk berlari. Benci sungguh duduk dalam gym hari ni. Dia orang tengah repaint the gym, bau cat yang kuat tu membuatkan aku sesak nafas. Lepas balik dari gym, aku pegi Bagus to buy my baking supply. I'm baking Sicilian Orange cuppies now. The cuppies are for the girls' teachers esok. Ye la, semalam tak pegi sekolah, so esok kena la antar the cuppies pada cikgu2 sempena hari guru semalam.

Mula2 kan, aku nak upload gambar a friend, yang study sama masa kat Ausmat dulu. Tapi, should I or shouldnt I? Aku takleh tahan tengok the gambar, sakit perut gelak. Kalau sesapa yang penah tengok cerita "Sivaji The Boss", haaa.. muka that guy sebijik muka hero Tamil tu. In that picture of his, he was holding rokok gulung, duduk atas kerusi malas, sambil sebelah tangan lagi pegang pistol. Pastu, pakai sunglasses, and rambut di iron, jadi keras. Err.. boleh imagine ke? Erm.. still thinking..

 The girls' breakfast. Everyday request benda yang sama, pancake with condensed milk.

Short Break to Terengganu

I'm very sleepy. Bila balik to Terengganu with such a short notice, and such a short break, rasa buang masa je, letihkan badan. We arrived at my mok's place at 2.30am on Sunday morning. Kita orang bertolak from KL pukul 5pm on Saturday but arrived late sebab kete banyak giler on the highway. We had to sleep kat living room sebab rooms semua dah penuh. By the time pukul 7am, the kids semua dah bangun dan berlari2 ke sana kemari. Rumah kayu, bila budak2 berlari, bergegar rumah. Macam mana ler makcik ni nak tido. Sudahnya, aku migraine today. Argh! tension sungguh!

Then pukul 1pm, hubby ajak balik to his mom's house kat Kuala Terengganu. The girls nak stay rumah baba and nenek sebab both misses baba and nenek a lot! So, we left them kat rumah my parents, balik berdua je to rumah my MIL. Iman and Iffah aku kirimkan kat my brother Harun yang nak balik ke KL malam tadi. Dah janji nak jumpa Harun kat simpang nak masuk Ajil. So tadi, at about 9pm, we picked up the girls kat Ajil, which is quite a distant from Kuala Terengganu. Takpe la, kesian kat the girls, rindu sangat kat their grandparents.

Since I forgot to bring my camera along, I dont have any photos to upload, sedih betul.....

We had this for breakfast on Saturday morning

Huevos Rancheros

Adapated from Skinnytaste

• 1/2 tsp oil
• 1/2 onion, minced
• 1 medium tomato, minced
• 2 tbsp chopped green chiles (I didnt use any)
• oil spray
• salt and pepper
• pinch cumin (optional)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 oz shredded cheese (I omitted this)
• 2 tsp chopped cilantro (no cilantro in my kitchen, thus I didnt use any)
• 2 corn tortillas (I used garlic tortillas)

Heat oil in a small pan. Add onions and cook one minute, add tomatoes, cumin, salt and pepper and cook another few minutes. Set aside and keep warm.

In another medium non-stick pan, add a bit of oil,  heat the tortillas for a few minutes on both sides until tortillas gets crispy and pockets or air bubbles start to form inside. Set aside. 

In the same pan, add a bit of oil and add eggs, salt and pepper. Cover and cook until sunny-side up or to your liking.

To serve, place a tortilla on each plate, top with egg, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese and cilantro.
