Quick and Easy Minced Beef Stew

Whenever I am hungry, I like to whip up something that is quick and easy. That's where this minced beef stew comes from. Luscious, thick, filled with layer after layer of flavor and texture. I mostly cook minced beef for eating with spaghetti or pasta but today I wanted to have it with rice. Whether it be plain rice, pilau or fried rice, you will love this recipe. Make the minced beef spicy with some paprika, cayenne or chili pepper. 

Double fry Homemade French Fries

Lately I have been loving homemade french fries. Simply because I know they are fresh since they are cooked in my own oil. We have all heard about places where they reuse oil so many times and cook in the same oil different things especially in fast food restaurants. Whether true or not, it still gives you that eerie feeling that you could be eating french fries on friday with oil that cooked fries last monday! I don't mean to alarm you, but, homemade is mostly better. I chose to double fry my potatoes so that I get crispy golden fries in the end. It also helps the potatoes not to absorb too much oil since the second fry gives the potatoes an extra hard coating. You can choose to boil the potatoes first before frying them, they'll be delicious.

Balsamic Garlic Pepper Chicken

I always see pre-marinated chicken in the freezer section of supermarkets and I have always wanted to give it a try. I usually marinate my own chicken but I wanted something new so this was going to be my plan. I forgot to ask what the marinade ingredients were but the pack was labeled Chicken Boston Barbecue. Well, well, well, this chicken was gonna take me to Boston! Hehe! Anyway, I decided not to add too many condiments since the chicken was already marinated. I was pleasantly surprised when I started searing the chicken the aroma that filled the chicken was just wow! I wanted to add some color with some red onions and green bell peppers. They added a touch of freshness and crisp. I shallow fried the chicken to make sure that I did not loose the flavours in the marinade, that I forgot to ask 🤣, bottom line is, I looooooved the chicken!
