Honey chicken


Hello all! Remember the sneak-peak to the honey chicken i had?
Well, here is the recipe for it. It was simple but time consuming, and it turned out great!

Here it is:

You dont need a lot of ingredients for this recipe.
All you need is your choice of meat; it can be pork, chicken etc.
Some water, olive oil (a few tablespoons) and honey.

The salad was a spicy mexican salad. It had the dressing in it and all we did was mix it all together.
For some extra taste, we cut up an orange. It really paired well with the honey chicken.

Put 2  tablespoons or so of olive oil in your pan or pot and then add water to it. Put it on your oven coils on very low heat.  Add the pork/chicken and let it slow cook for 30  minutes or until fully cooked through. The low heat will make sure that your pork doenst burn and the water will not evaporate as fast. If you aren't sure whether it's fully cooked through, cut it through the thickest part and if there is any red or raw meat showing, keep it on the fire.

When your meat has fully cooked add the honey to your pan (while the pan is still on the low fire) and mix it with the remaining water/oil, while making sure you are coving your choice of meat with the honey mixture. The oil and water will help the honey stick on your meat better.

And that's it! It was so good!! The salad was a surprise for us because we didn't see that it was a pre-made one when we bought it. We decided to try it out and mixed the dressing with the vegetables and it turned out really  tasty.

Hope your guys enjoy this.
Let me know what you think.

Haddock delight.



 This is really simple. Using the leftovers from yesterday's pork dish (aka wine sauce and potatoes and whatever else you may have), we added 4 small haddock fillets in our crock-pot along with some vegetables and tandoori powder. Let it cook for 4-6 hours, turn it on high until it warms up and then back to low.

For the rice, we cooked it (1.5 cups) separately while we lightly fried one red pepper, one yellow pepper and about 10 thin asparagus chopped up.


After frying the vegetables for a minute or two, we mixed 2 tablespoons of soysauce and 1 tablespoon unrefined, raw brown sugar and stirred it together. Add a few tablespoons of the rice into the soy sauce mixture and continue stir-frying until it gets covered well.

Add that soy sauce/rice mixture into the rest of the rice and mix.


That's it, you're done! Take a look at more photos. I hope you enjoyed this, give it a try and let me know what you think :)

Shrimp-Herring dish





I love smoked herring. It's been an accompanying piece whenever I eat beans, black-eyed peas etc. My favourite part is the egg sack/roe. But in this case the store only sells small (really small) sliced herring fillets. Since it's so salty, we put it together in a dish containing shrimp and veggies.

  • 1 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 small slices of smoked herring
  • Shrimp
  • Frozen vegetables of your choice
We eyeballed the vegetables and shrimp. You can put however many you want that will suit your needs. In this case, it served two.

We thawed the vegetables as well as the herring and shrimp.

Place everything together in a cookware (drizzle the olive oil and soy sauce on top) and set in a preheated oven at 300 degrees F for 10 minutes. Just ten. We don't want all the nutrients to go away.

The result is a delicious, saucy meal that's been enriched by the aroma provided by the herring, which is hiding underneath the vegetables and shrimp. We placed 2 herring slices on each side of the dish.

Quich and easy, delicious and healthy!

Hope you like it :)





PS: There's a lot of sauce that will be left over in your cookware. Don't let it go to waste. I put it in along with the food and took some pita bread, tore it up and let it absorb the liquid. It was so good!
