Garlic Shrimp & Crab Lumpia

Made a simple bento lunch for today. Garlic Shrimp sauteed in butter and crabstick wrapped in lumpia wrapper. I added Tamagoyaki and green beans for some color. 


Garlic Shrimp:
Remove the shell and devein.
Chopped Garlic
Butter
Heat the butter with a few oil, saute the garlic, add shrimp and a pinch of salt to taste. Remove once shrimp turns orange. Enjoy!

Butterflies and Flowers

I've been busy lately with my new baby,Samantha, and had no time to make bento lunches. 

So for today, I made a quick and simple bento without much planning needed unlike the other bentos. The butterfly shaped cookie cutter was way too long stored and was never used. Here I made simple rosettes out of bacon and ham, and the flowers cut out of carrots. Butterflies were red bell pepper and sweet potatoes, which by the way I thought was colored purple when I boiled them. Some lettuce, green beans and broccoli for the greenies completed the look.  Maybe next time Sam will help me with the bentos :P

A Wicked Cookie

Here's a non-bento post... but still yummy though! 

Wicked Oreo Cookie

My nephew asked me to cook this for his afternoon snack. A very simple recipe which gave a twist to the all-time-favorite Oreo cookies.

Ingredients: Pancake Mix
Oreo cookies or any chocolate cookies
Cooking oil 
Powdered sugar


Prepare the pancake mix as instructed on the box. Coat the cookies then dip fry in oil. Place in a paper towel to drain the oil then sprinkle powdered sugar.
