Cinnamon the Dog

I was contemplating if I should make a sandwich today but I managed to squeeze some time last night and did the preparation work in advance. I will share with you step-by-step on how to make the Cinnamon sandwich in another post. 

Cinnamon the Flying Dog

The kids saw pictures of Cinnamon on the Internet last night with all the 'Oooh…Uhh… and Aww…', and went gar gar over it So how can Mummy not make a sandwich to please them?  They thought Cinnamon is a rabbit. Fyi, it is a puppy with long ears that flies. Yap, it's a DOG!

I made ham and cream cheese sandwich and added their favorite almond cookies in the boxes. Cinnamon doesn't come with the bow on the head but I added the bows to secure the ears. The kids loved the small puny oranges in yesterday's sheep sandwich and requested for the same today.   

The kids were chanting 'Cinnamon, Cinnamon, Cinnamon, Cinnamon...' when they saw their sandwiches this morning. I have very happy and satisfied customers today. 

Which ribbon color do you prefer? Pink or Red?

Happy Chinese New Year!!!*bleat*

Count down to Chinese New Year(CNY)!!! 8 days away!!! Gosh! I have so much to do!

I saw some really cute pictures of sheep on a tee and made a sketch in my book. Decided to make it into a sandwich for the kids today since CNY is coming. I made some changes to the picture as it looked quite empty on the bread. I added pork floss to the sheep to give some 'volume' to the sheep's fur.

My kids' reaction was "Yesterday was Valentines Day sandwich, today CNY sandwich. What are you going to make tomorrow har? Xmas?!" *sweat*

Well, well, well, tomorrow I may not be making sandwich because I will be busy making pineapple tarts. *sheepish smile*

Peanut butter sandwich with an egg and fruits for today

Anyway, today's sandwich is filled with peanut butter and I also used peanut butter on the forehead of the sheep to make the pork floss stick to bread. The face and horns are cheese and the cheeks are dotted with strawberry jam. I have some small small tiny puny oranges and I arranged it like a flower and added a grape in the middle. 

The Chinese character for Goat '羊' on the egg was a last minute inspiration from the CNY decorations on the wall. That explains the messy cutting of the seaweed. Almost didn't have time to take pictures because of it.

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR!!! *bleat*

Sharing My Sandwich Creations For My Super Picky Eaters: V Day Sandwich

V Day Sandwich

Finally I am back to making sandwich today. They are spending their Valentines Day at Chingay Parade this Saturday so I am making V Day sandwiches for them in advance.

Lots of love from Mummy Me!

The kids squealed with delight when they saw their sandwiches today because I added candy to the bread. They are instructed not to devour all the sweet stuff but share with their friends. Today's sandwich is filled with peanut butter, top with strawberry jam surrounded by Jelly Tots forming a heart shape. There is a heart-shaped strawberry and some grapes along with their favorite cookies and a few chocolate buttons. Sugar rush during recess!

Sandwich Bag Deco

Making last batch of tarts today and hopefully I can have the energy to make sandwiches for the kids tomorrow. I bought some buns for them to bring to school today.

I used a colored sandwich bag, added a sticker and a personalized message for the kids. I shared the idea with a friend and now she writes words of encouragement for her kids on the sandwich bags during exam period! :)

The sandwich bags come with stickers but I prefer to use my own for now. I have some chinese words written on the stickers. I really hope my kids can pick up some chinese words along the way.

Believe! You Can Do It!

Pineapple Tarts - Year of Goat 2015

Busy Busy Busy....

No time to make sandwiches for the kids because I was busy making CNY pineapple tarts. Anyway, the kids didn't seem to mind because there was a CNY goodies sales going on in school during recess. They were more than happy to indulge in the extra goodies in school. 

This coming year is the Year of Goat so I made a special goat tart in the middle in each box accompanied by my usual pig tarts. The goats need a lot more work so I am sticking to my pigs. Hee.... 

Made the pineapple paste from scratch and it always reminds me of how my family made the tarts. I still remember how my grandma would grate the fresh pineapples to bits by hand and my grandpa would stand in front of the stove for hours, stirring the pineapple paste in the wok. At night, everyone in the family (my mum, aunties and uncles) would come together to help make the pineapple tarts. I don't recall helping much but I am very sure I helped to eat (especially the freshly baked ones, hot from the oven). Hahaha….

Well, now I am on my own. 

Puzzle Sandwich with Order of Operations

Order of Operations

Made a puzzle sandwich today with the Order of Operations. I used Kaya jam for Addition (green), peanut butter jam for Subtraction (brown), strawberry jam for Division (red) and cheese (yellow) for Multiplication.  The kids are happy to have 4 different kind of spread in a sandwich today.

Math is getting tough nowadays. Some Chinese make their kids drink amulet water hoping that they excel in studies. Can my kids conquer Math by eating the Order of Operations?*wishful thinking* Hee…

Eat already can be super in Math?
