Sunday Routine and making Lemon Lime Drink

 

Nowadays, our routine on every Sunday is to do up a weekly plan on our meals so that we know what to buy from the supermarket whilst having our cuppa coffee over breakfast.

while the adults plan for the meals, James is drawing under the sea.



This afternoon was so hot! and we had lemons and limes in the fridge. Guess what we made ourselves? Lemon Lime drink! We used 2 large lemons, all the limes we could find in the fridge, added honey, lots of water and ice.

Velle Cooks | Braised Chicken with Mushrooms

 







Rainbow Sprinkle Cookies

 

Easy Rainbow Sprinkle Cookies

These are just normal sugar cookie dough rolled into a mini balls, rolled over a dish of rainbow sprinkles and sent to the oven for baking. The kids loved it not because it's tasty but it's because they are rainbow!!! Colours, baking and hands on experiences are just ways to keep my kids occupied at home on weekends.

A bright colours like these sure add a cheer to everyone's hearts.





















Velle Cooks | Laksa

 

I didn't make the Laksa Paste from scratch, used a premix instead. There are so many different types of premix in the Supermarket to cook local traditional food at home. I find myself either buying Dancing Chef or PrimaTaste premix most of the time as I'm used to their "taste" .

Premix - A convenient and easy to prepare a quick meal for the family. Why not. Especially when you have 3 kids to look after, work from home and still need to prepare meals for the table.




Velle Cooks | Egg Muffins, Egg cups, mini fritatas

 

EASY EGG MUFFINS

These are really yummy and super easy egg protein packed breakfast which my kids love because of the savoury and salty bacon wraps. The main ingredient is of course eggs, the rest you can use whatever that is left in your fridge!

For today, I'm using my leftover zuchinni and bacon into this egg muffins. Somtimes, I use cherry tomatoes, cheddar and egg; or combination of egg, mushrooms and bacon also works.

If you want to skip the meat part, tomatoes, spinach and mozzarella works well too!

Method

1. Beat eggs in a bowl (i use about 6 eggs for a family of 5), season with a dash of salt and pepper. If you are using bacon, I suggest you can skip the salt, cos I find it quite salty already.

2. Heat oven to 180 deg celcius

3. Add beaten egg into muffin tray about 1/2 full, top up with ingredients (bacon, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, cheddar or mozzarella)

4. Bake for 20mins! Once done, leave it to cool for a few seconds, cos they will be really puffy when they are out hot from the oven, once they start to "deflat", use a butter knife to nudge it out from the muffin tray and serve.






Tips: 

you really need a very good non stick muffin tray, like these ones I have in my photos, I sprayed vegetable oil all around, yet some parts of the egg muffin was stuck like crazy. It was only after I went out to buy myself a non-stick muffin tray (black coloured ones), it was such a life saver! The muffin just slips right out!!! and it was so easy to wash the trays!


only pour about 3/4 full of the eggs because they will puff up really high while baking in the oven.
