the joys and woes of placing a meal on the table
Happy New Month. It’s unbelievable how fast this year has gone by. I had several plans for the blog which I’m yet to implement, however I am geared up to pick up where I left off. For the longest time I have wanted to share my simple homemade barbecue sauce recipe but whenever I took […]
Cookies have been on my mind lately from chocolate chip to ginger snaps. I enjoy baking, be it cakes, cupcakes and muffins but rarely do I make cookies. Up until a week ago I had never made ginger snaps, I searched through pinterest and found a recipe which I tried and now tweaked to share […]
Happy New Month! Breakfast has to be my favourite meal of the day and boy do I enjoy making it. Bread is one of those staple breakfast accompaniments in our home and I love serving it differently,whether it’s by applying different spreads from peanut butter to avocado or using it for french toast.
One of my favourite things paired together, bacon and potatoes. This month’s Onja challenge was the word ‘Texture’. After much thought, I settled on some potato skins filled with cheese and bacon. These are perfect to serve as a starter or part of brunch spread.
I love me some pancakes, I love making them and devouring them. It’s pretty evident considering I have quite a number of pancake recipes on here. I find pancakes pretty versatile to make and you can play with different ingredients from ripe bananas,oats, raisins to chocolate chips. Since I don’t like them plain, this time […]

I enjoy a refreshing salsa just like any other person and what’s more refreshing than adding watermelon to one? Not only is this salsa full of colour it is packed with flavour. From the sweetness of the watermelon to the herb flavour of the dhania to the coolness of the cucumber. Not much is needed […]
I’m back with yet another quick and tasty way to revamp your leftover rice. This time round I chose to use broccoli and sausage. For the sausages, I removed the casings to use the sausage meat.
Happy Eid Mubarak to my muslim readers! When it comes to broiler chicken on bone I always gravitate towards baking. I hardly stew or curry the chicken pieces mainly because I find that the chicken can easily fall off the bone when manipulated too much. Fast forward to a few weeks ago when I visited […]
