Having some guests coming over to dinner and you are at a lost of what to prepare? Or you are thinking of something simple and healthy for dinner? Roasting a whole chicken for dinner is actually quite easy and simple. It is healthy and takes up very little time to prepare too. You only need to season the chicken for several hours and then pop it into the oven and let the oven do the roasting.
My son was down with a horrid hacking cough for the past week or so and then he started throwing up everything yesterday. Needless to say, he was feeling rather poorly and had no appetite to eat anything at all. He couldn’t even swallow plain white bread without throwing up.
Anyway, we went to the paediatrician who gave him a shot and though he’s still running a fever, at least he’s not throwing up anymore.

I have been using Quinoa as a protein substitute in quite a lot of my recipes and sometimes, it is also quite interesting to combine it with other protein, like chicken. While there are recipes of Quinoa salad and plain Quinoa, I thought, heck, it can be cooked the Asian style too. So, why only cook it the western style?

I used to make a lot of salsa, then bottle them up and keep in the freezer. I’d use them for my salads, sandwiches or even to eat with rice. It has been awhile since I made salsa. Since, I do not want to freeze them this time, I thought of changing the recipe a bit and made a sorta chicken and quinoa salsa stew. Originally, I wanted it to be vegetarian, to leave out the chicken but then, I changed my mind and added the chicken for the two meat-eaters at home.
I know, boiled chicken just sound so bland. And boring. And plain. But do read on and you will see that it is not bland, boring or plain. Just look at it…
Far from being boring, it is so flavourful that the remaining sauces from the boiled chicken is pure neat chicken stock. Talk about a two in one dish! And yes, this dish is pretty healthy as it involved loads of vegetables and no deep frying to be seen!
Once in a while, I’d get this craving for pita bread, wholemeal pita bread, that is. And no, I am not pregnant but thank you for your concern.
I’m just being my usual food-loving self. So, when I want pita bread, then it is what we have for dinner. Other than being healthy and wholesome and all, it is pretty easy to prepare with minimal cooking. Really, I’m not lying.
When we talk about chicken breast meat, I can safely say it is pretty much our staple food at home. That’s why I even have a chicken recipes series or chicken breast recipes series. That’s because each time I cook, there must always be chicken. What can I say? We all love chicken.
Now, enough raving about the chicken and let’s get on to the three-step, stir fried chicken breast meat with Thai basil. Why three step? Well, because it isn’t four steps or one step or any other step. Just three easy steps. You slice the chicken, . . . → Read More: Chicken breast recipes: Stir-fried chicken breast meat with basil
