Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Being lazy these few days, even though I am on a one-week-holiday. :P:P These days I was thinking about cooking something delicious but not very fatty...I was trying a no-oil banana cake recipe this morning but the texture turned out a bit strange, I will keep trying and share that with you when I think it tastes okay :):)

This grilled cheese sandwich is very easy to make. Best to serve with coffee or tea for breakfast or tea time snack. This recipe is very flexible, we can customize it according to our taste :D:D

Ingredients: (1 serving)
2 pieces of bread (choose the type of bread you like: white, wheat, anything)
1 piece of Cheddar cheese (or any cheese, light cheese is better for health, grated cheese is also ok! For stronger taste or cheese lover, add extra cheese! :D:D)
Butter (optional)

Direction:
If you would like to add butter, spread adequate amount of butter on one side of each piece of bread. (Don't worry about the butter if you want to leave it out).
Put the first piece of bread on a pre-heated pan over medium heat, buttered-side-down onto the pan, place the cheese on top, place the second slide of bread on top, buttered-side face up this time.

Usually I would press the edges of the bread a bit so they won't fall apart that easily before the cheese melted.

When the first side turned golden-brown, flip it over, grill until the other buttered-side bread turned golden-brown.

Remarks:
With butter on, it's a little bit more crunchy, the brown color is prettier :P:P but it tastes just as fine without the butter in my opinion~

Be Well and leave comments! :D:D

Honey Green Tea


The green tea tea bags have been laying on the refrigerator for quite a while :P Originally I bought them for facial purpose but since my right ear was giving me problem I don't dare to put on anything near that area ever after. Since putting the tea on the skin might not be a good thing to do for me...put them in my stomach should be alright LoL This tea is really great and I would like to share that with you :):)

Green tea is good for health for a lot of reasons - many articles on the web pointed out that green tea can keep us young (antioxidant), can help burn up fat, reduce risk of cancer, good for eyes, good for heart etc. Honey also contain lots of good stuff such as Vitamin B2, 3, 5, 6, 9, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron etc etc.

In sum it's just good for health LoL

Honey Green Tea - Ingredients:
1. One green tea tea bag
2. Honey to taste

Directions:
Make the green tea with hot water (about 80'c, not boiling one cz it would damage some nutritions)
When the tea becomes warm, add in honey (I usually add in one table spoon, don't add it in when the tea is still very hot cz it will bring a sour taste to the tea)

This is really an easy and healthy drink to make, hope you'll like it! ^^

Be Well!

p.s. The tea bag can usually makes a few cups of tea, add in hot water again when you've finished one cup, but don't drink too much honey per day! LoL
