Cute Cucumber Rolls

Bismillah.

Just wanna share another simple and healthy menu. I made it for yesterday's tea time. Not really tea time actually, i think it was slightly after having lunch. ;D

A picture for you.

I am not sure what's the suitable name for it. Cucumber roll, maybe. I used Japanese cucumber. You can use ordinary cucumber too. 

Notes: 

1. I mixed the tuna with diced tomato. You can add anything you want to the tuna. Mayonnaise, etc. 

2. Peel the cucumber using peeler, in order to get the shape like I have shown in the picture. 

3. Spread tuna on cucumber, but leave some empty space at the other end (refer to the first picture) so that it will be easier for it to stick after being rolled. 

What I love about this menu is; my daughter loves it so much she eats them all! Alhamdulillah. I need to be more creative to encourage her to eat vegetables.

Barley Barley

Bismillah.

When my baby was warded a few days ago (she's completely fine now Alhamdulillah), there was this one tea time (hospital) meal that I love so much! My first time eating such refreshment. Just a simple meal yet it really made my day. At that time, I couldn't wait to go back home to try the recipe. Well, it was not a lavish food, it was simply a treat called barley porridge. ∩﹏∩

Actually since a few months ago I had already started becoming a fan of barley. It happened after a good friend of mine suggested me to make barley drink for my baby who was having fever. She said barley is good to help reducing the high temperature. I googled about barley water and found out that the claim is true. Barley is indeed full with health benefits. The times of India website said that barley water is the best beverage. ⊙ω⊙ (it's a perfect drink too for hot & sunny days). You can google it if you wanna know more. Here are some of points regarding barley water:

However, before this I just consumed barley by adding it to fresh milk. With some honey and chia seeds (a very good source of omega 3). My baby loves it too. Well, to cut the long story short, I searched for barley porridge recipe the next day after my baby was discharged. Just tried a simple menu. Followed a recipe by a Malaysian mother. She uses barley, coconut milk, pandan leave, salt and sugar. I made it yesterday without using sugar and with a small amount of coconut milk. (Just now I found latin recipe of barley porridge and I think it's healthier coz it includes cinnamon and fresh milk only- no coconut milk).

In sum, these are the ingredients for the barley porridge I made yesterday:

1) barley
2) water to boil it
3) pandan leave
4) coconut milk
5) honey
6) chia seeds
7) sago
8) fresh milk
9) a pinch of salt

So, tadaa... here's the simple barley porridge prepared by my daughter's mama. ＞▽＜

Alhamdulillah. :)

Breakfast. Again.

Bismillah.

So this was my breakfast for today. I can eat it everyday without complaining at all. :p

I love it because it is such a simple yet tasty and healthy meal. Well, it's almost the same with the potateggs (refer to my previous post) but no potato.

As usual, I will just put the picture here. (With some notes)

Notes:

1. I put minced carrots, mushrooms, and onion with half piece of low fat cheddar cheese.

2. Sprinkled it with white pepper and parsley flakes.

3. Put on the bread, put into oven. Done. 

4. It's delicious. Seriously. ;)
