Recently my dinners have been simple and easy. As a working mom, it is hard to make delicious and healthy food while working full-time. I started to experiment more and make things that I haven’t made for a while. One of the things that I have missed was chicken satay skewers. Begin by dicing the…

Cumin Lamb Noodles
We have become addicted to cumin in my household and use it on chicken, roasted veggies and also in this dish. Lamb and cumin work so wonderfully together. Cumin brings out the meaty game-y flavours of the lamb. To make this dish, prepare the lamb by cutting it into cubes. Finely mince 4-5 cloves of…
Herb Infused Butter Turkey
Turkey can often be dry and bland if done incorrectly. But if you do it right, it is one of the most delicious dishes you can serve for dinner. This year I wanted to make some turkey, but I knew that it would take a couple of days to prepare. I normally buy a frozen…
Coca Cola Instant Pot Pork Roast
This is a simple weekday meal idea or whenever you just feel lazy. The secret to this recipe is Coca Cola. Yes fizzy soda. You won’t know that it is there and it adds just the right amount of sweetness to your dish. You could probably try this other meats. I wanted to keep the…

Chicken Shawarma in the Oven
The pandemic has made it hard to go to restaurants and enjoy foods that you get in restaurants. Even going to get take-out can be challenging. I decided I wanted to eat shawarma but I didn’t want to go out. Instead I decided to make some oven baked chicken shawarma. Begin by mixing the spice…
Lemongrass Chicken
Lemongrass chicken is a staple when you go to a Vietnamese restaurant. The rich citrusy and lemony flavours from just adding fresh lemongrass make this chicken delectable. This dish is surprisingly easy to prepare and make. Start by preparing the lemongrass. Some supermarkets sell fresh lemongrass. Look for ones that look bright green and not…

I started to experiment with different recipes and even tried and air fryer version. I still preferred the traditional oven method. This recipe was inspired by Hot Thai Kitchen’s Crispy Pork Belly. I begin…
