truffles in the kitchen with a kid: corn flakes chicken fillet

i'm quite pleased with this.

marissa has been eating too much fish and is not keen to eat any other meat.
but she seems to like this!
easy, quick and yummy.
easy enough to involve my 3 yr old lizzie, who helped to crush the corn flakes!

ingredients:

5 chicken fillet, marinate with slice of ginger,salt, pepper and a bit of soya sauce for more flavour
1 egg lightly beaten
1 cup of corn flakes
butter and olive oil for frying

method:

put the corn flakes in a plastic bag and crush them with your hands
pour crushed corn flakes into a plate
coat one marinated chicken fillet in egg, then coat it well with the crushed corn flakes
lightly flatten the fillet with your hand as you coat it with corn flakes (alternatively you can lightly flatten the fillet with the back of the knife before coating it)
repeat the process till you have coated all fillets with the crushed corn flakes

shallow fry the fillets in a non-stick pan with butter and olive oil over medium heat
take care not to over cook it if not the fillet will be very tough and not tender
roughly 1 min on each side if you have flatten the meat

serve with ketchup or any favourite sauce

christmas cards and a child's holiday activity

i am pleased that the two christmas rubber stamps i bought for last year's christmas cards, are still useful this year!

i took them out for lizzie to make her own christmas cards and she really enjoy stamping away!
in addition, she has learned how to write and really enjoys writing!
this really kept her from feeling bored and restless at home during the school holidays!

take time...

to read and eat a cupcake!!!

heeheee...

this afternoon is so lovely,
raining lightly outside,
the kids are sleeping soundly,
cool air blowing into the living room, as i enjoy 

1. a beetroot (low sugar) velvet cupcake topped with sinful cream cheese frosting with watermelon candies (stolen from lizzie's stash of goodies from batman and bumblebee party!!), thyme leaves and sesame seeds!!!  yummy! 

2. a cup of coffee

3. a great book written by christopher ash: bible delight (the review on this website did not do justice to his book.  It's 5 star! I'll share more when i have time!)

x'mas is just round the corner...
i'm having lots of thoughts...

haikus

last night S and my hubby cracked their brains on what to write for the church's bulletin on discipleship group sharing as the dateline was up.

my hubby decided to write a haiku since it's short and sweet.
S thought it was fun and helped me with mine.
then hubby came up with two more for the kids!
funny!

Feed on the bible,

Roast chicken and fellowship

Burp! My spirit's filled.

I cook and they hear.

But still more deliciousness!

We devour the word.
