Smoked Salmon Croissant

Nothing is wonderful having brunch on Sunday morning accompanied by fresh baked bread and croissants and a cup of coffee. This is what we normally do on Sunday morning. But because now is Ramadhan which is a fully month fasting so I can't do this for a while. But I still can have croissant for my morning eat during Ramadhan.

This time I make my croissants filled in with smoked salmon. I'm not such a person who would do the effort to make the dough by myself and especially if it's easily to find in the local grocery, so I just bought a ready-made croissant dough and fill it with smoked salmon and bake it in the oven... voilà ready, fresh and still warm straight from the oven. Perhaps the taste would slightly different than if you make the dough by yourself. But for now lets give a try for simple and easy made croissant filled with smoked salmon...;)

Manggo Yogurt With Nectarine For Breaking Fasting

Ramadhan this year is quite different that the past years. The time to break the fast is starting at around 8.30 pm. I have to keep my conditions healthy otherwise I would break-down before the Ramadhan finished. That's why I try to make healthy food and healthy dessert too. No frying stuffs and not too many sweet things too. My breaking menu is usually rice, stir-fry vegetables and a piece of fish or chicken. For dessert I choose to eat yogurt and a bit fruit. Usually after this breaking it's almost time to bed. If my stomach too ful, I can't sleep and I'll have difficulty to get up early. Ramadhan month is tiring but no matter what I'm happy to do it. It comes only once a year and I always look forward for Ramadhan.

This is one of my desserts look a like for breaking fasting during Ramadhan... Manggo yogurt with nectarine. It's delicious and healthy too.

Black Forest For My Rendo

2nd September is my son's "Rendo" birthday. He becomes 12 years old. He's not a little boy anymore, he's becoming a teenager. The ages that most people say as every parents's nightmares. To be honest actually I'm quite excited with this lifetime. I'm curious and excited to experience the moments when my "little" boy is having his first pimples, first love, first broken-heart..("hopefully not")... everything with his first life experiences... and this makes me almost in tears. In my heart I just hope he'll be fine passing through teenager life and I hope with all my heart in the future he'll become a good, care and wise person.

Special for his birthday I baked his favorite tart, black forest. I didn't get a chance to take the picture of the whole cake so here it is a piece of my black forest tart.

The recipe will be added soon...
