Easy and Yummy Meal Ideas with Kraft Cheese
What kind of a Mom are you when it comes to cooking or baking at home?
Are you the ‘thorough type’, the kind who could spend 1-3 hours on meal preparations?
(I’m always wowed by such moms’ dedication! Kudos!)
Well, I’m the kind who prefers cooking / baking that’s easy, yet nutritious and yummy (and, fast please =)
…
Now. It’s been a while since I last shared about what we baked and cooked at home. So today, I’ll share two easy and yummy meals with you yeah! =)
I got the recipe from this Kraft website: www.kejumooo.com
(Saw the web URL when I was about to stock up on my usual Kraft cheese at home)
Lots of recipes there, btw.
From breakfast ideas to main course and snacks!
So first thing first.
I made this “cheesy omelette” for the everyone over the weekend!
(Click HERE for the recipe page)
Ingredients
4 eggs
1/4 teaspoonful of pepper and salt
Carrot pieces (I cut half a carrot into small squares)
Macaroni (boil about 3 handfuls)
Kraft Cheddar Cheese
Margarine to grease the pan
Preparations:
– Mix eggs, pepper, salt, carrot pieces in a bowl
– Pour in the cooked macaroni
– Grease the pan with margarine
– Pour in your mixture, spread some Kraft Cheddar Cheese (I sliced it into small, thin layers)
– Lower the heat
– Fold the omelette, flip it so it’s cooked on both sides.
And that’s it!
We munched it all with some tomato ketchup. We like that added sweeter taste! =)
This one is fast and easy to make.
Just mix and pour, flip and that’s it! =)
And.
Here’s what we had for dinner the other day : Cheesy Broccoli Macaroni
I kind of mixed THIS recipe (Cheesy Broccoli) with THIS recipe (Spaghetti Carbonara) from kejumooo.com =)
(As usual though, I keep it simple and fast)
Ingredients:
– Macaroni
– Broccoli
– 25g Plain flour
– 300ml milk
– Half of a new block of Kraft Cheddar Cheese
– Olive oil
– 25g Butter / Margarine
[Tips: Involve the kids whenever you can, as it allows them to learn and be a helpful member of the family. Plus, if they contribute, they usually like the ‘end-products’ better, hehe. As for us, Anya cut the broccoli pieces that day]
Preparations:
– Boil Macaroni and Broccoli (in the final 4-5 mins, until tender). Then, drain it all.
– Heat the Butter, stir in the flour. Cook for a minute, add in the milk. Bring to boil, stir for about 2 mins. Add in the cheese.
– Pour in the cooked macaroni and broccoli into the sauce (I added some olive oil too. Personal preference =)
Now, this is actually done already!
But if you wish to get that nice, grilled taste:
– Spoon everything into an ovenproof dish, scatter remaining cheese
– Place under a hot grill (just into the oven) for about 3-4 mins, until the top is golden brown / bubbling
The kids and Daddy loved this dish a lot, btw! =)
…
The other day, I had a casual chat with a few friends about whether our kids drink milk everyday.
Well, our kids drink some fresh milk everyday. About 1 – 2 mugs a day.
But, other than milk, I believe, our calsium and vitamin D intake can also come from others.
Like, from consuming cheese (which adds taste and nutritional value to the 2 simple meal ideas above =)
And I don’t know about you, but when we do our grocery shopping, I somehow automatically head over to the Kraft shelves whenever I need to get some cheese =)
Perhaps, it’s because I’m just used to having Kraft cheese since I was little? =)
Anyway.
To my Muslim readers who are celebrating Ramadhan soon, go and check out the many different recipes on the Kejumooo web yeah!
Many easy to make, and nutritious, meal ideas there from Chef Marinka =)
Oh one more thing, I was asked the other day : what do I think of Ramadhan?
Well, to me, Ramadhan is very similar to how our family spends time with the bigger family during the Chinese New Year!
Gatherings over food, and catching up with families and friends! =)
In Singapore, during Hari Raya, I love seeing families dressing up in similar colour tones and patterns when they go and visit their bigger families. A nice tradition to have, I reckon.
And here in Indonesia, usually those who celebrate Hari Raya (Ramadhan) would go back to their villages / home towns, to enjoy some get-together time with their families too. Which I feel is a must as well.
Anyway.
To close the post, here’s a video to share with you, on the importance of caring for the family and those who are dear to you:
