Mint Grilled Tilapia

Hello everyone!

I had quite a bit of mint around and I was really struggling to find ways to make use of it (I hate throwing things away). Coincidentally, I also had some tilapia and decided to give this a try and I must say I am SO happy with how it turned out. Here's how I did it:

How to Preserve Fresh Herbs

I always avoided buying fresh herbs when trying out recipes. Its because since moving away from my mom's little herb garden, I hated spending money on a big bunch of herbs and only using a small amount and throwing the rest away. Since the beginning of he year, however I have found a way to preserve them so that I can use them over a longer period of time and essentially get my money's worth.

Sugar Bean Curry

Hello everyone!

Making a curry can definitely turn a potentially boring or bland meal into something exciting. Beans have always been one of those things I found quite uninteresting until I started making them like this. I love sugar beans now and I always have them with chapati which is a perfect accompaniment for the spicy beans.

Garlic and Herb Grilled Potato Wedges

Hi everyone!



If you looove roasted potato wedges but you never quite get them right, then this post is for you. There are so many reasons your wedges don't turn out the way you imagine, but the most likely problem is the type of potato you are using. Some potatoes are best for salads, steaming or boiling, baking while others are best for roasting etc. I guess the real difference is in the texture. There are thousands of varieties, I would have to do a seperate post to cover them all so today I am going to focus on how I made these delicious, crispy garlic and herb grilled potatoes.

Any Time is Tea Time!

Hi everyone!

 

So I have recently come to realise and accept that i have an obsession with tea, more specifically this Clipper Mango Green Tea. The extent of my absolute love for this tea is obvious because even though it has been quite warm, I've managed to go through multiple boxes over the last 3 months. Sometimes I even have it twice a day (covers face) but I have no shame, rather that than some sugared beverage.

Mini Chicken Pizzas

I've been thinking what food is reminiscent of spring and summer and somehow pizza came to mind. So I thought I would share my recipe for mini pizza. This recipe can be adapted to your needs, so you can make many small pizzas or one large one to share with family and friends.




Secret to a delicious pizza is in the pizza sauce you use and I have tried countless times to make my own sauce. I'm so excited to say that I think I may have nailed it this time!

For the Pizza sauce: 2 mini pizza (15cm diameter)
