EASY BAKED GARLIC PARMESAN CHICKEN WINGS

September 30, 2021 No Comments

Hello Everyone,

If you’ve been following my blog for a while now and have seen my recipes, then you already know that I tend to have more chicken recipes than other meats. That’s just because I love chicken and my most favourite will definitely have to be chicken wings. There is just something about eating chicken wings that make me super happy, I can have them plainly roasted, dry-rubbed, sticky, spicy and my recent obsession which are my garlic parmesan chicken wings. They are easy and baked to perfection and finally tossed in some parmesan cheese.

My son also loves chicken wings and as much as he used to make me have to debone them for him, he has now appreciated the satisfaction of eating it on the bone and asks for chicken wings every chance he can get. This recipe is super simple and the outcome doesn’t disappoint, with some small prepping time and the oven at your service, then you will love this recipe. You will need;

POTATO AND SALMON FISH CAKES

February 3, 2021 77 Comments

Hello,

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and that it’s going on fine, I always publish my posts on Tuesdays but this week will have to just understand that I couldn’t publish a post-half-written. Now, I am all for having what’s on my menu every week and since I change it every two weeks, I never mind repeating a dish but when you have the same thing for four weeks in a row, it becomes too monotonous and I blame my busy schedule for that. So this past week, I finally got to change my menu and instead of the same old oven baked garlicky salmon, I decided to do something different and make some potato and salmon fish cakes. These are also great if you have a picky eater and need to include some veggies or some meats into your meal. You will need;

KENYAN POTATO BHAJIA RECIPE

January 27, 2021 20 Comments

How are you all doing today? I hope your week is getting on just fine and staying safe as always. Today I have for you one of my favourite childhood recipes and brings back great memories. Not only did I have this when younger but even now I would still have them anytime when the craving decides to check-in. Now I do know there are different versions of this recipe and other names like “viazi karai” but I am sharing what I know and how I remember them. My Kenyan potato bhajia recipe is what I am talking about, flavourful, spicy and so delicious if I say so myself. You can easily order bhajia in many restaurants in Kenya and they will either come with some ketchup or my other favourite, a tamarind dip which just takes them to another level. For my Kenyan potato bhajia recipe you will need;

Recipe week 3 (Day 5)

Finally we have come to the end, I would have continued up to day 7 but l decided to stop on day 5 and give it a rest since I still have other posts scheduled unrelated to food and are long overdue. I have really enjoyed posting everyday this week and as much as it wasn’t easy with kids and life in general, I managed. Also I call them recipe weeks for a reason which pushes me to be able to do them. So today I am going to share with you my love for chicken wings, like I really LOVE chicken wings and if I had to choose to have them every time I had any chicken dish then I definitely would. My oven baked honey sriracha chicken wings recipe is what I have for you today, sticky, spicy and just finger licking good. You will need;

Recipe week (Day 3)

Hey, it’s me again and we are on day 3 of this recipe week. I hope you’re all doing great and that you’ve already seen my day 1 and 2 for this week. So what’s on today? Let’s talk tuna, funny enough I am still not a fan of tuna on it’s own until something is done to it. I can have it in a pasta salad, with some dressing over some salad leaves but never on it’s own. I don’t know what it is but it just doesn’t mesh well with me when it’s super plain hence my recipe for you today are these delicious and simple tuna fish cakes. For this recipe, you will need;

Happy new week,

So this weather isn’t really doing me any favours and I know Thanksgiving is literally a stone throw away. I never celebrated it when I was younger and even now, we don’t really do anything big. I am sure, you’ve already planned out your decorations and what to cook on that day but if you don’t really fancy having a turkey roast on the day, then these cheese stuffed turkey steaks can be an alternative for you, easy to prep pan fried and totally delicious.

So,

Can you believe how fast this week has gone by? It’s almost the weekend and the weather is really not doing me any favours this time. I have literally been rained on every school run and it seems like it’s not going to settle down anytime soon. I am back today with a continuation of my recipe week 1 posts with these mini tortilla crust pizzas. Yes, the season calls for soups, hearty stews and everything gingerbread and I know that but this was long overdue. I hope you do understand, it’s not going to be a full week of recipes like last time but I will be throwing one once in a while to support my channel.

Hello Everyone,

I hope you’re all doing great today, last week flew by so fast and this week, my boy turns 6. I can’t believe it but it’s exciting and just nice to see. We ended up having his party this past weekend because schools close this Friday and everyone will be off on holiday so the earlier the better. All in all everything turned out fine and it was a success, shoutout to bakersdays for the best birthday cake. Today’s post is for my foodies out there, Summer is here so lots of outdoor cooking if the weather behaves. Crispy oven-baked chicken wings is the recipe I have for you today and I know you will definitely love them. The best part is you can also grill them if you wish I think I will do that next time. Before I get on with it, stop by here and check out my last post.
