Things Mums do….

When she can’t have this because of her allergy…

IMG_8738

And she really really wanted to know what it tastes like…

And all the non-peanut spread and the nut-free spread at the shops come in a biggish jar and quite expensive (what if she doesn’t like it, it would have been a waste buying it.).

So, super-mum surfed the net for a recipe and made this…

A cashew-walnut butter spread just for her.

And when she looked like this while eating raisin toasts spread with the cashew-walnut butter and a drizzle of honey….

And the thank yous that came out of her mouth….

It makes it all worthwhile Open-mouthed smile.

Natrah,
Kadang2 aje I rajin godek2 buat benda2 mcm ni, hehehe

Shidah,
I found how to make homemade peanut butter on the net so I pun tukar ke cashew+walnut aje lah. It tasted ok lah but tak rasa peanuts lah, hehehe

Zarin,

Shiera,
Memang betul tu :-D

Anis,
Tak, dia kata lebih kurang aje harga dgn kat M'sia and takde yg mentah. so dia malas nak beli n bawak berat2, hehehe.

Kak Nor,
Memang betul kan, sedaya upaya kita cuba buat sebab sayang :-)

Kak Ita,

DeLancrettLurpak said...

Anak you tak leh makan peanut aje la eh, walnut ahd all boleh la makan? how do you know yg the kid tak boleh makan peanut aje? masa allergy test tu dia bagi tau specific ye?

rajinnye u, nasib baik miss 7 suke ..:)

lemongrass said...

Cicayanki,
Hello :-). Little things like this make my day :-).

Lurpak,
Cuma peanut aje yang she's allergic to. Masa she was a year old, I gave her chicken satay and she reacted badly to it. Then another time, we gave her choc with peanut paste in it and she reacted badly again. Then we got her tested for a lot of nuts and other things and luckily peanut is the only nut she's allergic to.

Sally said...

SJB aka SUELYN J-B. said...

You pernah cuba almond butter?. I think I suka almond butter better then peanut butter. Tapi tak pernah cuba cashew/walnut butter pulak :).

Daniera said...

kasih sayang seorang ibu :)

relaxNhappy said...

I pun terharu baca entry ni =) And at the same time happy tengok muka Miss 7 senyum sambil makan tu.

Madam Sooyaree said...

Bertuah anak, dapat mak yang prihatin :)))

Aswani said...

kak LG,
saja nk bizibodi, botol ubat apa yg byk2 blkg miss 7 tu? :)))

Oyis said...

aduhai, dunno mcm mana saya nak buat when aisyah gets to that stage bcoz dia all nuts x leh ni *garu2 kepala*. skang ni dia x tahu lg existence of peanut butter, sbb we ols sorok, and kat nursery pon sini well aware psl allergies kan, banned from school premise terus. balik msia x tahu la cam no huhuuh...

T said...

LG,
Those looks so good. Next time letak chocolate chip or nutella too. I'm a bad influence.
I tak pernah buat lagi nut butter because I don't have food processor. Besides, here ada kedai yang jual almond butter/ peanut butter yang allow you to dispense it from a dispenser/blender macam slurpee tu. So I could take as much or as little I want.

Kalau tak habis, boleh buat base for pesto sauce or pecal or sambal kacang salad dressing.

Unknown said...

kesian kat budak2 kalau allergi ni.. but alhamdullillah u manage to find something that can replace the peanut butter for her.. n i'm sure bila tgk muka miss 7 yg penuh satisfaction makan tht butter.. the mommy pon rasa puas n senang hati.. tho have to googling n struggle buatkan that butter for her..

btw, love the way u snap the pic.. masa miss 7 makan sambil tersenyum..

Anash said...

the 'thank you's came out from your daughter will always be the magic 'zap-away-the-tired-feeling' of you...I baca your blog pun ilang my boredom...hehe

Unknown said...

wow...u really good!

aliaaroslan said...

Axie04 said...

betuah ank u dapat dapat momy cam y

lemongrass said...

Sue,
I've never tried it. Maybe I should make almond butter next time using almond meal :-).

Daniera,
Kasih sayang yang tiada bandingan kan :-)

Relaxnhappy,
I pun suka tengok hati dia berbunga2 bila makan the spread with toast :-).

Sooyaree,
Mak dia prihatin when the food to be made is so sempoi aje, hahaha

Aswani,
Itu segala mcm vitamins and ntah hape2 lagi, hahaha

ka6,
tak sampai berdarah. Dia cuma prick sikit aje mcm kita tercucuk jarum sikit. Still sakit tp tak berdarah, hehehe

Oyis,
We all bila balik M'sia memang on high alert everytime sebab kat M'sia banyak food yang campur nuts esp peanuts and banyak food yg digoreng guna peanut oil. It is quite difficult jugak lah but luckily Zahra dah besar so she can ask and understand why she's not allowed to eat the tempting looking cookies or kuih or anything.
Poor Aisyah though nanti esp if she's going to a m'sian school.

T,
hehehe...Maulah every week I kena buat a batch of spread if I add chocs to it :-).
Lucky you! If only kat sini ada kedai jual almond butter in that slurpee jar.
I might make the leftover into chicken sate marinade :-).

Sarasofia,
Sekarang boleh lah I buat all those nice cakes n cookies n muffins yang guna peanut butter in the recipes by using this butter kan! :-).

Anash,
She's so happy to finally be able to taste 'peanut' butter thus the many thank yous :-).

Noriz,
It's not difficult to make tu yg I try buat :-)

bobhandburry,
Salam singgah ke my blog :-)

Aliaa,
That's a prerequisite to becoming a Mum kan.

lemongrass said...

Axie,
Senang aje nak buat that nut butter, tu yg I cuba buat. Jadi pulaknya :-)

shiori_LA said...

seronok...kan LG kalau dapat tunaikan hasrat anak2....

lemongrass said...

Shiori,
Memang seronok esp kalau dia dah lama mintak kan :-)

PUTUBAMBU said...

wah..terer lah LG skrg...

hnyhar said...

sy suggest kak LG komersialkan hasilnya...nmpk mcm sedap je tgk little miss cheeky tu makan...

lemongrass said...

Kak Putu,
hahaha...skrg senang betul nak buat apa2, just surf the net and dah dapat recipe kan :-)

hnyhar,
I kena tweak the recipe quite a lot sbb a bit keras and susah nak spread sbb kena letak dlm fridge kan :-).

4AS said...

Things that moms would do..Terharu I baca what u did for her. I'm sure she appreciated it very much.
Zahra punya allergy that bad? kesian kat dia.
