the joys and woes of placing a meal on the table
To say my husband loves chapatis would be an understatement. I think he can even eat them daily. So sometime last week, actually Wednesday, as we were on our way to visit my mum, we passed by those vibandas (road side kiosks) that make and sell chapatis and this is the conversation that ensued between hubby and […]
You basically put all the fruits you have on hand and make a smoothie. Ingredients: 2 ripe bananas sliced A handful of strawberries, hauled and sliced 3-4 grapes (i had the ones with seeds) 2 tree tomatoes 1/2 mango diced 1 cup vanilla yoghurt Smoothies are best for quick lunches and breakfasts. They are pretty […]
I love me some potatoes. Some random Tuesday last week I decide to cook some potatoes I’d been given by my mother in love. As usual I baked them. It’s funny how they are called roast potatoes anyway as long I don’t deep fry, I’m good. This recipe closely resembles this, only that I was […]
Yep!!! One can apparently put yoghurt in pancakes or so I ‘invented’. I had some leftover plain yoghurt from a previous recipe so I decided to add it into the pancake batter. Have I mentioned that it was to expire in 2 days, yeah, hence the reason I had to use it and I had […]
Since I discovered, the chicken curry recipe, I have modified it to suit different meats. I had some filleted tilapia and I decided to try it out. Ingredients: 1 1/2 fillets of fish – I used tilapia (cut into chunks) 1 cup plain yoghurt 3/4 cup coconut milk 1 onion chopped 2 cloves of garlic […]
Sounds odd but it was tasty. It was one of those days I was clueless on what to cook. I had some beef strips in the freezer and we had this ripe pineapple in the fridge. I decided to make a simple stir fry to go with some leftover rice. Ingredients: 1/4 kg beef, cut […]
I love chicken, so I’m always on the look out for easy chicken recipes. I decided to search online for some curry recipes, boy did I find many. I eventually settled on one that had easy to get ingredients. Armed with a shopping list I was ready to embark on this new journey of curries. […]
This past weekend was hubby’s birthday, so I decided to bake him a surprise birthday cake. Planning a surprise for someone you live with can be a bit difficult. The biggest challenge was where to hide the cake. I recall earlier this year, on the eve of my birthday, hubby had prohibited me from opening the fridge. […]
I was charged with the great task of baking a cake for a friend’s bridal shower. Boy was I nervous, I kept asking myself, will they love it? Will they compare my cake to previous cakes? Oh well, I took the challenge. I decided to make my chocolate banana cake. Since, the cake was for […]
I love when I get home and discover I have leftover rice, because that translates to dinner in under 20 minutes. This happened to me some 2 weeks ago and boy was I happy. I had a feeling I had some sausages in the freezer and lucky me, I spotted the last three. I also […]
