BBQ Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Spring is here but its doesn't feel like Spring. Too much rain and I was thinking of how to finish up my lettuce. So, in the end, I decided to make some lettuce wraps.  This can be an appetizer or a side dish with your main course. Most of the time, I will let the whole family do their own wrapping. There's so many recipes out there for these wraps.  This time around, I just made BBQ Chicken.  All I have to do is to shred the chicken and wrap it with lettuce. For the dipping sauce, you can use BBQ sauce, thai chilli sauce,etc. Here's a photo of my BBQ Chicken Lettuce Wraps.

Happy wrapping!!!

Mini Muffins with Oreo

I love baking mini muffins as its just the right size for my kiddos. I tend to bake muffins once a week but never remember to take a photo of it. Its always bake, cool and serve to the kiddos including my other half. This time, I told myself that I should at least take a photo of it and my other half was kind enough to take it for me. For me, I will just use a basic muffin recipe and add the additional ingredient (oreo, apples & cinnamon, etc) in the end before baking it. So, here's a photo of my Oreo Mini Muffins.

Cheers to Mr. Muffin!!! You really make my kiddos day!!!

Spelt Bread (Dinkelbrot.) & My 1st Sewing Project

I heard about spelt bread from my friends from Germany and they call it Dinkelbrot.  When I went to the store to buy myself a packet of spelt flour, I asked the kind lady there about the spelt flour. She mentioned that this flour produces a softer grain of gluten thus more gentle toward the digestive system.  She also informed me that spelt flour is NOT gluten free. However, its low GI. I used the same old recipe which I often use to make white bread but substitute the flour with spelt flour.  Here's a photo of my spelt bread.

As I mentioned in one of my earlier posts, my other half bought me a sewing machine. My prince has been bugging me to sew him a Ben10 pants and my princess wants her Dora dress. I did not have any commercial patterns at hand. Therefore, the next best thing to do was to trace the pattern from their favourite pants / dress. Here's my finished sewing project.  Here's a photo of my son's Ben10 pants.

Here's a photo of my daughter's Dora dress.
