Almond Joy Waffles

Almond Joy Waffles

Waffles are such a simple and quick, yet delightful treat to make. I absolutely love using coconut butter or oil because it is healthy as well as delicious, but also it enchants the flavor and aroma.

Lunch Box: Stuffed Bread

Lunch Box: Stuffed Bread

Lunch Box: Stuffed Bread

Before Monday starts let me share one more yummy lunch box idea. It does take little more time to make these stuffed bread rolls, but trust me they are so worth it. 

My kids… no, to correct myself,  my whole family and friends love this and it’s one of the favorite after-school snacks, lunches or even dinners with some salad on the side. 

These are perfect, obviously, for lunch boxes for school or work, but also fantastic to take on trips, potlucks, and picnics. You can eat them hot right out of the oven (although it is too good and dangerous) or cold. 

Lunch Box: Stuffed Bread

You can, of course, pair it with anything that you have or like, but I added some radishes, English cucumber, and cherry tomatoes from my garden; And for the fruits: raspberries and blueberries that go perfectly well with a strawberry yogurt smoothie. 

As for the roll itself, I made two kinds, and again you can add what you have and like.

We all love and it is one of the top ones that my family or friends always asking for, which is stuffed with sauteed ground beef, onions, and garlic,  but you can be creative and add roast beef + cheese + peppers, ham + cheese, sauteed potatoes and onions, breakfast sausages + cheese + eggs, Nutella etc.

Possibilities are honestly endless. It is also convenient.  It stores well in the fridge, you just need to reheat and eat; OR if you going to take it the next day just make sure to preheat for few minutes in the microwave, let it cool down to a room temp., then pack. 

Lunch Box: Stuffed Bread

You can roll it and make it like a stick looking or you can make a bun out of it…it’s your call!

See how easy that is…but wait there is more, just kidding! You can also use pizza dough from the store or make your own as I do.    Check out the RECIPE WITH A VIDEO for Stuffed Bread Rolls with Ground Beef and Onions…HERE

Lunch Box: Stuffed Bread

For ham roll

1 Tbsp. Cream Cheese – room temp. (spread on the dough before adding ham)

4 slices of thinly sliced Virginia Ham or any on hand

One handful of shredded cheese such as mexican chese blend

Before I complete this post I feel that I do have to write about it in every of the lunch box posts for safety.

Q: What Box is safe for me and my child?A: Look for the boxes that have a clear written label that they are BPA FREE just in case if they are plastic-
BPA stands for bisphenol.  BPA is an industrial chemical that has been used to make certain plastics and resins since the 1960s. Seeking out BPA-free products may not always be easy to do. Some manufacturers do label their products as BPA-free, but some do not. If a product isn’t labeled, keep in mind that most aluminum cans or bottles have linings that contain BPA, while steel bottles or can do not. Polycarbonate plastic is generally hard, clear, lightweight plastic. It often has the No. 7 recycling symbol on the bottom. (source Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D.from Mayo-clinic)

My Bento Boxes are No. 5 PP/BMA FREE- but these cheaper ones that you can get in the grocery store are not safe to use in the microwave or to put hot meals in them, so you HAVE to let the food cool down BEFORE closing the LID. READ HERE about the difference between recycling symbols on the bottom of your lunch boxes, bottles, etc. No. 5 – PPKetchup bottle, a No. 5, may one day be a broom. Ketchup and medicine bottles, PP, or polypropylene, fall under recycling category No. 5. Recycled through many curbside programs, PP has a high melting point, so it is chosen for containers that can hold hot liquid. Polypropylene can be recycled into signal lights, brooms, brushes, rakes, bins and pallet trays.

Green Tea Frappuccino

Green Tea Frappuccino

Green Tea Frappuccino

 

I love Matcha, so this Green Tea Frappuccino is such a convenient and quick way for me to enjoy it without going to Starbucks. Plus, I honestly believe mine is better!

Last week we went to one of my favorite stores, International Market, where most products are imported from Asia. When I go there I don’t know where to turn.

It’s like being a kid in a candy store. I want to try and buy everything. I swear! For foodies with Asian culinary hankerings, it’s paradise.

I searched many, many times for green tea powder but never found it. I guess I was lucky that the store got it in stock. Sure, I could get it online, and take the easy way out… But… I didn’t! Sigh!

Green tea Frappuccino

I made cold iced tea and a latte, both of which were excellent. But I want a frappuccino. I’m dependent on it, and it’s my summertime beverage.

Consequently, I had to create it myself. I did not want water as the base or make it “just a smoothie.” Rich, cool, and thick was what I desired. I think I was successful in creating something that I genuinely enjoyed.

Recipe Notes:

  • Green tea from the bag/filter or dry green tea leaf will not work for this frappuccino
  • Green tea is bitter and also depends on what kind you buy. The best one is 100% natural.
  • I recommend getting Organic Japanese Matcha (抹茶/also known as matcha-fine powder, tea). It is more expensive, but by far better quality.
  • You can use almond milk or simular instead heavy whipped cream.

This is not STARBUCKS Frappuccino. 

I never stated that this is a Starbucks recipe! 
This is my recipe and the color is slightly different and a little lighter than the one that you get from Starbucks because of the ice cream, milk, and cream that is used in the recipe below the bottom one.
You can omit that and make your own version using only matcha, ice, cream, water, and melon syrup for flavoring.
