Today!

Today was so interesting that I thought sharing my experience with you. I woke up this morning feeling worn out because I had to go to school. I had bread with corn beef as my breakfast. Getting to school, I was very hungry so, I decided to get a fruit drink called la casera which I ate with donut. The rain was very heavy trying to get me angry but getting home, Okra soup and Eba had been prepared. I ate and ate; in fact, it was delicious. I really enjoyed myself.

Vegetable Soup...

Last night was very different. I ate this vegetable soup which my mummy made and it was very delicious. It contained sausage rolls, tomatoes, potatoes and a very special reciepe which is the vegetable. Guess what? I ate it with yam which gave it a very different taste. Don't be like me, Try it with rice and I think you would appreciate the taste better.

Braised Pork with vegetables

This is what happens in the kitchen when mum is alone. She comes up a delicious Smokey braised dish with pork shoulder, preserved vegetables and dark soy sauce. I haven't had the chance to get mum to write down a recipe for me but I will. I think it's pretty similar to the other soy braising techniques but this is more savory, less sweet. Paired with some killer home-made chili sauce (spiked with grated ginger, garlic and sesame oil), this is a perfect partner with steamed rice or even rice porridge.

Fried Fusili...

I love planning meals for dinners at home, I also enjoy coming up with a recipe/dish that pulls together what's left in the fridge. I don't know about you but on some days, the meat won't thaw fast enough, and a particular noodle just isn't in stock in my pantry. Watch this…We had leftover ham from our split pea soup night, a new bag of frozen peas, some fresh shitake mushrooms and lots of pasta. So I threw them together - sautéed the onions, diced ham, frozen peas and sliced mushrooms in some samba chili, added the cooked pasta, tossed them together in the wok till they started to look like they were meant to be together. I also seasoned with some ketchup, chili powder, salt and dark soy sauce. It was amazing in its outcome.

Buffalo wings, how delicious!

I have tried this recipe a couple of times and I'm delighted to say that it's only gotten better. The wings were left in the oven to broil and crisp up with flavors of garlic powder, chili powder, onion powder, pepper and salt. While the wings are cooking, I melt butter, add hot sauce, dash of Worcestershire, pepper and a corn starch slurry that is, thickening the sauce helps it adhere to the win. I also made some blue cheese dressing, since I could not find any good one in the store. I also borrowed Meat henge’s recipe wow! Just like my mum says “you’ll never go back to store-bought”.

Especially for health concious individuals...

I observed something which I thought to share with you. Most people try to be fit by just enrolling for gym or exercising on a daily basis for work outs without being conscious of their food in-take. Nutritional administration plays an important roll in everyday life. Enrolling for gym is a wonderful idea but filling the space with junks is terrible. Here is the catch, you can eat a large quantity of meal and yet remain trim. Skipping meal because you want to cut out fat leaves you sickly and unhealthy. So to look good while dieting requires adequate consumption of vegetables, fruits and fluids especially water.

An Alfredo sauce with...

This is a very simple recipe that is delicious and can be prepared in a few minutes even if you can hardly cook at all. Just clean up the kitchen so that no one will know it came out of cans and jars.
It is a creamy pasta dish that is appealing in appearance, fragrance, and taste. There are quite a few good Alfredo sauces available in jars these days. If you are ambitious or willing to really earn your reputation then you may choose to make an Alfredo sauce from scratch. Otherwise, the one in the jar is pretty darn good.Well here is the good news, you can use spaghetti but Linguini adds a classy touch.

Here are your Soup Tips...

1. Vegetables added to a soup taste better if you sauté them in a little butter first.

2. Did you know that Lettuce loves fat: Fat can be removed from hot soup by floating a large lettuce leaf on the surface.

3. Eliminate fat from soup and stew by dropping ice cubes into the pot. As you stir, the fat will cling to the cubes. Discard the cubes before they melt.

4. Never over-boil soups as they lose their color .

5. You can camouflage the burnt taste from your soups & Stews by pouring the liquid gently and carefully into a clean pan and flavor it with curry powder or mustard or some chutney.

6. Salty Soup - Place a raw potato in the bowl & it will absorb the extra salt.

7. Thickening for the Soups - Put instant mashed potato and gravies to thicken. Stir thoroughly and Keep on adding as much desired.

8. A cold soup should always be thoroughly chilled. Prepare and refrigerate the day before, if you can. When serving a cold soup, chill the bowls or cups you are going to serve it in. The soup will remain cold longer

9. A liner plate placed under each bowl allows you to serve bowls filled with hot or cold liquid gracefully. Use a salad plate beneath rimless bowls, and a ten-inch dinner plate beneath rimmed bowls.

10. The plate also gives your guests a place to put the spoon when they have finished eating, and helps to protect the table.

They're also a great source of Vitamin C and also has more of the antioxidant power you need to fight aging, cancer and heart disease. They taste great with a bowl full of cream for breakfast or in your muffins.A native of North America, and grown in shades varying from light blue to dark purple. There are at least 50 different blueberry types, both cultivated and wild. Blueberries are second only to strawberries in the berry category in the United States. They are great snack items, they can be used for pies, crips, muffins,smoothies, cakes, blue witches brew and many more and also they taste great when added to cereals, salads, yogurts or pancakes. Wild blueberries are smaller and more compact with a brighter blue color than cultivated blueberries, and many think that wild blueberries have a more intense flavor. When buying fresh blueberries, select firm, plump nourished berries in dry, unstained cotainers. Color is the best indicator of blueberry maturity and fully developed flavor, so avoid green and immature blueberries. Reddish berries are not ripe, but may be used in cooking. Blueberries will last up to ten days stored if well stored, and can be keptf frozen for up to nine months. Don't wash berries until you're ready to eat them or use in a recipe, because they'll turn moldy and mushy.
