Ms. Angie, with her post Crab Shen Mian (Crispy Noodles), on her blog: Simply Mommie.

I love crabs, though I find it tiring picking through the shells. That hasn't stopped me from eating those delicious morsels, of course! In fact, since it is one of my mom's fave, we used to have crabs at least once a week back home. Yummy! I would so love to try Ms. Angie's recipe and that's why I have it bookmarked! Her blog not only features healthy recipes for families, but also about parenting. Click on the picture above and see for yourself!

My post for today is sort of a continuation of last week's post...yeah, it's still about the avocado and sandwiches. lol. Avocado - Egg Sandwich, that's what I call it. :)

Ingredients:
avocado - peeled and sliced/diced
hard-boiled egg
mayonnaise, salt, pepper, chili flakes, margarine (bacon flavored) extra virgin olive oil
cilantro/Chinese parsley/coriander - small bunch, washed and chopped
lettuce, bread (your choice)

Procedure:
After peeling, slicing and dicing the avocado, set aside. You may leave some bigger slices for garnish.
Mix together the mayonnaise, mashed hard boiled egg, prepared cilantro, diced avocados, salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Taste and adjust to your liking. Set Aside.
Prepare the bread: put margarine (or butter) on one side of both slices, then toast. Remove once done.
While still hot, place lettuce as a base, then add the avocado-egg mixture. Top with extra avocado slices, chili flakes, and a drizzle of the olive oil.
Cover with the other slice of bread.
Enjoy!

I was surprised my sons liked this one. They ate the ones I placed on top of the sourdough bread..while I had the whole wheat sandwich. It was delicious with some sliced fruits (apples and oranges) and a cold drink of calamansi/calamondin juice! Definitely will try this again!

PS. This isn't my recipe; I know I found it somewhere while surfing the internet for some avocado recipes. I just modified it to my liking. ;)

Ms Dominique with her post Monkey Boy Cooking on a Friday, on her blog, From Dominique's Desk.

Who would have thought that an eight-year old boy made that dish above? Yes, Ms. Dominique's son cooked that all by himself! *clap, clap* Letting our kids help out in the kitchen is a great way to keep them busy and at the same time  let them appreciate and learn how hard (and fun) it is to cook for a family. Good job, Monkey Boy! Do visit Ms. Dominique's blog to learn more about parenting concerns and tips as well as some of the yummy food that they've been having!

Am afraid my food post for this week isn't really healthy...and it's not something that I'd recommend that you eat daily. lol. Peanut butter, Banana, and Marshmallow Sandwich. That's what it's called.

Ingredients

• two slices of bread (i used whole wheat)
• one banana, sliced (you may use your fave variety; we only had plantain that day, so that was what i used)
• peanut butter (your choice..i used creamy)
• marshmallows (i think it would look way better if i used white smaller sized marshmallows...lol)
• muscovado sugar (or you may use maple/chocolate syrup)

Procedure:

• Using an oven toaster, toast the bread slices slightly before slathering with peanut butter. 
• Place the banana slices on one bread while the marshmallows on the other bread slice.
• Toast both slices until the marshmallows expands, gets gooey, and turns brown on top.
• Remove from the oven toaster (or the oven), then add muscovado sugar (or maple/chocolate syrup) on top of the toast with the banana slices.
• Place the marshmallow topped toast on top of the banana topped toast.
• Enjoy!

I first found this recipe online (yeah, this isn't a Maiylah Original. hehe) a couple of weeks ago, and got curious. I only managed to buy marshmallows this week, so I thought I'd try this. I didn't think I'd like the mix, but I did! It wasn't overly sweet at all, much to my surprise. My youngest son who was with me at that time didn't like it that much, though. That's because he doesn't like peanut butter; he says he prefers eating REAL peanuts instead of peanuts with butter in it. lol. :D

Toge Omelette between Buttered Toasts

We had toge (mungo sprouts) last Friday night, and since I didn't use up all the toge in the pack, I decided to cook the remaining ones during the weekend. We had toge omellete for breakfast. Just a matter of mixing scrambled eggs, around a tablespoon of evaporated milk, salt, pepper, cumin, and toge together. Yup, I added cumin (i just love cumin and toge together!). Since we had a fresh loaf of bread that day, thought of adding some lettuce to the buttered toasted bread and dumping the omelette in. lol.

I liked it. Simple and easy. Healthy too, I think. ;P

Angi and Yuè of Say Cheese, with their post:
Peach Squares

First, I really like how the shots were processed... so vintage-like; reminded me so much of those good ol' days. Back then, I didn't have to think about budgets and menus. lol. But seriously, Say Cheese is a photoblog that covers a wide variety of topics. From nature to interior designs, street photos, food, and much much more! Browsing through their site is such a pleasurable experience...I encourage you to go ahead and experience it for yourself!

My post for this week is something really light...my version of the TLC sandwich.

Ingredients are few:

• whole wheat bread
• tomatoes, lettuce (i used romaine), cheese (crumbled cheddar)
• olive oil, dried dill leaf tips, balsamic vinegar

All just a matter of 'piling' them up:

• Put lettuce on top of a piece of bread, then add the tomatoes.
• Next the crumbled cheese. Sprinkle some dried dill leaf tips, then some olive oil.
• Add some drops of balsamic vinegar then cover with the other piece of bread.

Easy, fast, and a nutritious snack! :L
