Yema with Multigrain Cracker

My daughter is known to have allergy for peanuts and I was looking at replacing nuts for this recipe. I had Vita-Weat 100% Natural wholegrain goodness - Cracker Multigrain in the pantry and used it instead of peanut. The grains from the cracker made such a big difference to the recipe and it tasted like it had some kind of nuts as well. By the way, 'yema' is one of the popular sweets when I was growing up. I even sell them at school!

You need:

2 -3 Tablespoons of Olive Oil

397 g Sweetened Condensed Milk

1  cup Crackers (crushed finely)

1 teaspoon of Vanilla

Caster sugar

- Heat oil in the pan, make sure it's not smoking hot

- Add milk and vanilla; keep stirring for 3 to 5 minutes or until the colour changes

- When milk has slightly thicken add the crackers

- Keep stirring

- Turn off the heat once it's really thick and leave it in the pan until it has cool down

- Shape into tiny balls and roll in the caster sugar 

- Put the shaped yema in a small size cupcake papers 

- Enjoy!

Mashed Potato with Raw Carrots and Parsley

I am introducing a bit of raw food to my kids. I tried this very simple and nutritious meal.

- Mashed organic Potato
- Organic raw Carrots (grated)
- Organic raw Parsley (chopped in small pieces)

You may want to add a grated green apple or a salt to taste. I was quite happy with my ingredients above. I have two kinds of mashed on the photo. The one on the left side is a combination of the 3 ingredients. The one on the right side is mashed potato topped with carrots and parsley. I like the one on the right ;) .

Pepper
Pinch of nutmeg
1 cup of Spinach (cooked and chopped)

Parmesan cheese

- Combine eggs, cream, milk, cheese, salt, pepper, nutmeg in a bowl.
- Add the cooked spinach and beef in the bowl. Make sure you squeezed the excess water from the spinach.
