this photo was capture by my brother, while our recent visit to Malaysia. the petronas tower located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
i just wanted to share the beauty of this building. you should visit some time, too.

yum! yum!

This dish is not only for kids, but adults would enjoy it too. I made roasted pepper, tomato, onion and baked salmon fish. Then chopped cucumber and apples. So I just cooked rice with some peas and chopped carrot.

Tested and my kids loved it and cleaned the plate.

So I guess for kids to eat their vegetable, presentation of food is important. I prepared and made it to my kids taste and with all the possible colors in food that can be found. Of all, it is very easy to prepare and most of all very healthy.

I totally believe that, kids need to eat from every food group and have the correct portion of food. As we cook for our kids, I feel that it is our responsibility to prepare a good healthy rainbow dish. Then, can give a dessert at the end, it is not necessary for a kid to know what the dessert is. That will make a kid to give a plenty for excuse to finish the greens.....but I to agree for some group of children , you need to say 'if you finish this, then you get your dessert'. So as parents we need to act smart and fast, to judge the situation and keep our children healthy.

Don't you agree with me: "today's healthy children is tomorrow's brain of our country."

eating right

Eating the right food is very important for kids. Don't you agree with me? The children need the balanced diet, they need the rainbow, more colors in food, more nutrients for our children. I don't believe it is hard to find, it is just how much time an adult willing to put in preparing a child's food.

Are you a working mom, and cooking does take up time? Then let's make it fun, get your children to involve, they would surely be excited do it. My girls love to shred, peel and cut the vegetables. Dad can help, too. Even a stay home mom, would like to get their kids learn to cook. Believe me, you child would surely like to do the dishes.

So enjoy preparing food and feed the correct food to your kid.

a place to visit with your Kids

I too enjoyed the field trip to Pumpkin
Farm. I would rather call it farm, since my kids not only pick a
pumpkin, but the got a variety of exposure.


My kids get to
see a corn plant, how the baby corn attached to the corn plant. They
learn about a plant. The sunflower plant looked beautiful. There were
animals too,ie : horse, llama, baby pigs, turkey, goats...i hope i
didn't miss any. My children also didn't miss the chance of feeding the
goat.

It was a worth of trip for children. I would say this is an educational field trip.

As a parent, grandparent, relatives,
childcare or teacher, it is very important; where we are taking and
what we are planning to teach our children.

Quick Snack

I believe that it is very important to feed kids with healthy food; at the same time, if we make it to the way children wants it.
I'm sure your kids would love this snack. Mine enjoyed so much. Simple ingredient and ready fast, yet healthy. Adults too would enjoy it!
- 4 wheat tortillas
- 1/2 carrots medium size, shredded
- 1/2 cup carrot, shredded
- chicken breast strips - baked or fried
- favorite ranch or barbeque sauce

For this wrap, any kind of crunchy vegetable would make it delicious. The next time, I would want to try it with shredded cucumber and jicama, also sprinkle some chopped peanut. This would surely a Malaysian/Thai taste to it with sweet sauce.
Spare some for adults.
