During one of my lunch dates with sarah, a good friend of mine, she told me about a website that she has signed up for.It a website that do personal recipe menus for children. A quick and nutritious recipes. Its good for working mother's like sarah. She was smiling about it and said it saves a lot of time. Most of all her kids love it. She plan to order more recipes through the MunchkinMenus.
She recommends it to all her friends including me cause I have a 2 year old who is so fussy about food. Sometimes it so stressful to think that she is not eating right. Going through the MunchkinMenus, it offers the recipes at affordable prices. I will try the 10 custom made recipes first.
At the MunchkinMenus, I will have to fill up a questionaire first in order for them to do the custom made menus for the kids.
Well hopefully my kid will start eating regularly from now on. Thanks to my good friend Sarah for recommending MunchkinMenus to me.

Grandma's Pineapple Tart
I love my grandma's pineapple tart recipe.
Every festive season ( Hari Raya) my grandma will not fail to make her pineapple tart.
All of her grandchildren love it. Whenever she start baking, I will always be there to help but mostly to eat when it comes out fresh out of the oven. Actually doing pineapple tart even though tiring but its fun when you do it with your whole family chipping in to help.
Ingredients: For the pastry
16 oz butter
3 large eggs
28 oz plain flour
1 tsp salt
Ingredients: For the filling
2 ripe pineapples
1 bowl sugar, taste and adjust accordingly
a drop or two of yellow colouring
Method:
Pineapples to be peeled and cut into 4 pcs. Grate pineapples finely.
Pineapple filling should be as dry as possible.
Place the pineapple filling into a pot over a stove over high heat. Do not burn filling. Keep stirring. Add in sugar and mix well.
Lower the heat, add the yellow colouring and let the filling simmer for at least 1/2 hour. Some would let it simmer for much longer than that because the filling would last longer if cooked longer. Some would let the filling simmer for an hour or so and then the next day simmer it again for another hour. But don't forget to regularly stir the filling while it's being heated over the stove.
Cool the filling.
Add the butter to the flour and do the rubbing in method. Add the egg one at a time.

Add the butter to the flour and do the rubbing in method. Add the egg one at a time.
Mix in salt and knead till dough is even and smooth.
Now you are ready to roll out the dough. Roll out dough to about 1/4 cm thick.
Make sure there's plenty of flour under the dough and on the rolling pin to help the whole process.
Get a tart cutter and depress the cutter into dough. Move the cutter a little while the cutter is still in the dough and then remove the cutter.
Slowly push the inner part of the cutter and remove the tart. Repeat the process.
Nowdays the tart cutter is not like the olden days days where it must be done traditionally by pinching around the tart. Now its ready made pineapple tart mould that can be found in any hardware shops.
Next, put the cooled filling in and place the tarts on a baking tray.
Bake in a hot oven of 180 degrees Celsius for 1/2 an hour or till tarts are done.
Check the back of the tarts if you are unsure. They should be golden or brownish in colour.
Hope anyone who reads my blog will enjoy the recipe as much as I do.

Cooking Made Easy
For as long as I can remember I can't cook to save my life. But my passion started when I was in school.I first started baking the Rock Bun.Unfortunately for me it was hard as a ROCK. When it was time for cooking lessons, well accident came in pairs, mistook the sugar for the salt. Well you can imagine my teacher's face when she tasted my dish (can't remember if i added a bit too much sugar) I got an F for that day practical homework for cooking.
Those were the days. Nowdays I am so busy working and feel so tired after. Usually I am too tired to cook but fastfood is not a healthy choice. I have found a website that offers recipes for quick but healthy dinners. I was skeptical at first but after trying it out I find the recipes simply delicious and so easy to prepare.
Just Click Here! . You will love the recipes like I do. So easy to prepare and fast.
