OVEN-BAKED HONEY SOY CHICKEN

February 17, 2021 50 Comments

Hello Lovely People,

I hope you are all doing great and having a great week so far, another week calls for another recipe and let me just tell you this one is a keeper. A delicious oven-baked honey soy chicken recipe is what I have for you today, now I just have to confess that I have tried similar chicken recipes before but always ended up with blackened meat and not well cooked inside. After many trial and errors, I found the right way to cook these and they turned out perfect. I did end up marinating my chicken for 3 hours but I do know there are times when you just don’t have all that time, so I would suggest a minimum of 30 minutes when it comes to marinating and it will still hold on to the flavours and turn out great.

SWEET FLUFFY HOMEMADE DINNER ROLLS

February 10, 2021 18 Comments

Hey there,

Gosh, this week seems to be flying pretty quick. I hope you’re all having a good one and managing to accomplish all you wanted to do. Since It’s Wednesday, I always publish a recipe post and today, these sweet fluffy homemade dinner rolls are definitely the ones to try. Honestly, these are my favourite dinner rolls I have ever made and never fail me, and so long as you use the same cup to measure everything, then you will have no failures. Plus they are very good to freeze for up to a month and you just thaw and heat in the microwave or oven. This recipe is one I got from my sister and I think it’s the only one I wrote down because I didn’t want to forget any detail. They smell amazing while baking and even better when eaten warm or room temperature. For the 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;

January 25, 2021 138 Comments

Happy New week,

Hello everyone, I hope you all had an amazing weekend and are staying safe. We were surprisingly visited with some snow yesterday which was great to have and to also witness my youngest seeing his first snow. I hope it decides to stay awhile for a snowman attempt. Anyway, today I am back with another blogging post for you and is for those people who just started blogging and are still figuring out how to increase their page views without selling their souls or having to buy something to get the information they need. So here are 6 ways to explode your blog’s pageviews in a brand new blog if you are a newbie. In case you missed my post on the mistakes I did before launching my blog, do check it out here.

Blogging is really hit or miss sometimes whereby what may work for one blogger may not necessarily work for you and that is totally fine. There’s no point of beating yourself up if you tried what another person did and it just didn’t work. All you have to do is regroup and find new strategies that will work for you, I have personally used these specific ways and they really helped me out when I got started and still do up to now.

Hey there,

Another week calls for another post and this one you will love, it’s a recipe to die for. This past weekend, I woke up craving pork and better yet it had to be ribs. The fact the weather decided to just go crazy with the wind and rain didn’t really help to brighten my day but I knew that good food would totally do the trick and so ribs it was with a side of coleslaw. After finishing my grocery shopping, I finally came back home and was ready to start the dry rub for my ribs, so before I bore you with my weekend shenanigans, I will just go ahead and share with you my oven-baked dry rubbed bbq pork ribs.

Guess who? Yes, it’s me again and the week is almost over. We are on day 4 and I am super proud to have been able to do this. Anyway how are you all doing today? I hope all is ok and you’re all getting on just fine. The heat is apparently starting to check in and today was not that comfortable, I mean I do like warmth but not scorching if you know what I mean. I thought tomorrow would be better but apparently it’s going to be even higher than today, I guess outdoor cooling activities are in order. If you remember a while ago, banana bread was everywhere and I don’t know why but I also jumped on that wagon and made this simple perfect moist banana bread. Hence the recipe for today, you will need;
