Granola?? It is nice?? It is rough like eating pieces of cardboard? What is it anywhere mum??   My boys were asking me this when i am preparing this. I guess kids grow up in Asian have less chances taking whole grains compare to those in the west. Does your kids facing this too?? or it is just mine  =p Not anymore, i am making my own granola. This granola is so versatile. Be it for breakfast on milk or having it on its own as snack. My boys get the chance to learn how to eat this and they enjoy snacking on it now. They love it on yogurt and they like it as pudding or simple parfait like this   格兰诺拉麦片？？ 是什么来得？是粗粮吗？ 好吃吗？这是我家的宝贝问的。。在亚洲成长的孩子比较少接触粗粮或麦食吧! 不晓得您家的宝贝是否也是如此呢？ 格兰诺拉麦片其实很好吃又健康。里面包含着燕麦，坚果（这里我用了山胡桃，南瓜籽，芝麻）果干（我用了葡萄干，蔓越莓干）还加了蜂蜜，黄糖和少许的盐。把这些材料都拌均，烤香就是自制机的格兰诺拉麦片 （Granola） Homemade Granola (Annabel's Granola) Recipe adapted from Annabel's Kitchen-My first cookbook makes 6-8 portions Ingredients: 175 g rolled oats   70 g coarsely chopped pecan ...

I believe we all have left over food sometimes. Be it we do some switch up to cook into something else or just throw it.

Normally when i cook ABC soup, the soup and meat will be very fast moving leaving the veges behind. With the left over veges, the potatoes and the carrots i will keep in the fridge to make my chicken pie fillings later. This round i have some stale bread in the fridge. I am going to make them into Honey crouton. It is a more healthier choice for the kids to take it as a tit-bits or a little snack. Honey Crouton (蜂密面包干) recipe source: Carol's 'The second book of baking for the begineers' Ingredients: 4 pieces of stable bread (i am using my left over Oat meal sandwich loaf) 30 g castor sugar 20 g honey 15 g unsalted butter 15 g dairy whipped cream a pinch of salt To do: Cut the bread into cube...

This is about a oat meal sandwich loaf. I search for a recipe which is easy, soft, nice and straight forward method to make a quick loaf. Found it in Carol's 'The second book of baking for beginners'. It bakes nicely in a 450 g pullman loaf pan but mine comes out a bit under bake because the crust is not nicely brown. The loaf still taste soft and nice despite the not so nicely baked crust :p    I then found out that my pullman loaf pan is a bit too thick a...
