Salmon accompanied with blueberry salad.


The bottom picture is Haddock. The top is Salmon. Just make what you prefer!

Ingredients
  • salmon fillets
  • leek
  • frozen vegetables
  • blueberries
  • coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup tomato juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
Start by preheating the oven at 300 degrees F (150 Celsius).  Cut your salmon fillets to your desired size and place in your cookware along with 1/2 cup tomato juice, 1 tablespoons olive oil and some cut up leek.

We put half a can coconut milk (condensed, not the watered down stuff) with frozen veggies and a handfull of blueberries in a pot and put it to warm up a little. The coconut milk gets that blue hue from the blueberries as well as a distinct aroma. It's such a good combination.

Meanwhile put the salmon in the pre-heated oven for 15 minutes in 300 degrees F.

If your vegetables are thawed then you wont need to leave them as long in the pot. Be the judge and do the taste test. Get the pot off the burner when you think it tastes best.

And that's it. Simple and fast and absolutely delicious.

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 curry cakes.


Hello! Sorry I've been MIA. I know I haven't posted the honey-chicken recipe but I'm afraid I didn't have so much time on my hands.

This is something I had tonight. It was so good I had to share it with you guys!

I know I've posted another haddock recipe. But this is completely different. You are going to love it if you try it out!

Here it is.

Ingredients/Directions:

Haddock cakes
2 haddock fillets

  • cook the haddock in the oven prior to doing anything else. Cook it according to your taste/preference.

1/2 yellow corn mill
2 eggs
1/2 tsp bicarbonate soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp butter
vegetables - chopped

  • Mix all these ingredients listed above into a nice smooth paste. This does not include the haddock! As for the vegetables, it really depends on what you want to put in it. We had some peppers, leek, parsley etc that we chopped up in it. You can put in something totally different!
  • Add the haddock now. Cut it up/flake it and put in on top of the paste. To that, add:
    •  2 tbsp teriyaki sauce
    • 1/2 tbsp yellow curry powder
  • Proceed to mix everything together until you have your ingredients evenly distributed throughout.

Place in the oven at 350 degrees F for 5-10 minutes, just so the eggs are cooked through.




Salad:
frozen vegetables - thawed
2 tbsp teriyaki sauce
a drizzle of olive oil
2 tbsp honey-mustard sauce. OR 1 tbsp mustard and 1 tbsp peanut butter

 With your thawed vegetables, place all the ingredients in a pan or pot of your choice and give them a light stir-frying.

That's it!

So simple. And so delicious! I urge you to give it a try!!
Let me know what you guys think.

Choco-Rice Pudding

Hello everyone!

Sorry about my not updating lately. I had final exams and then I started a new job; needless to say I did not have that much time in my hands to sit down and write up recipes.

But, the Christmas break has begun and I have some delicious recipes to share with you.

Here is some rice pudding made for desert. The difference from the conventional rice pudding is that this isn't made with any milk.

Instead, it's made with almond milk and coconut milk. The choice is up to you, both almond and coconut milk is really good.

Also, you can add some raw brown sugar and cocoa powder in it, making it even better!

The rice used is glutinous rice (sticky rice), which makes it more sticky and much MUCH better for making any sort of rice pudding.

Start by cooking the rice in some water, half the dosage you would usually put and when it almost absorbs all of it, add the coconut or almond milk in it.

You can add the rest of the dosage you would add as water, but in reality you can keep adding as much as you want because the rice will keep on absorbing it, be the judge, it depends how firm you want your pudding to be.

 Keep on a medium fire and occasionally stir so as to prevent the rice from sticking to the pot. Add your sugar (2 tablespoons) and cocoa powder. Also, add a teaspoon or so of cinnamon, as well as some raising and dried cranberries.



And thats all folks. It's simple, lactose-free and a delicious desert for those who want a 'healthier' desert.

More recipes coming soon!

Let me know what you think and feel free to give this a try!
