BALSAMIC PORK & VEGGIE NOODLES

Nothing beats a delicious homemade noodles dish with ingredients carefully selected and planned, who am I kidding, noodles are bomb because you can literally throw in any left overs you have. I had some left over fried pork and decided on a fast simple meal. 

2 MINUTE OREO MUG CAKE

Oreos have always and will always be my favourite cookies, of all time! And I always look for ways to add it into my dessert. Sometimes you want a fast dessert without the hustle and a mug cake is just perfect for such times. This mug cake is so delicious it will soon become your favourite.

CHICKEN SALAD WITH LEMON PEPPER DRESSING

I love fresh vibrant salads that are crispy with a tiuch of tangy and sweet. There are so many variations of salads and different ways to serve them. Appetizer salads are served as a first course of the meal, side salads accompany a main course while a main course salad contain portions of protein like eggs, cheese, legumes, fish and even meat. Dessert salads on the other hand contain fruits, topped with whipping cream or/and sweeteners. You can add so many ingredients to your salad, from green beans, cucumber, beet root, peppers, parsley, tomatoes, olives, onions, avocado, carrots and mushrooms. For a tasty flavor and texture, you can add nuts, berries, seeds, edible flowers, cheeses, hard boiled eggs, shrimp and even bacon. Now that I have given you plenty of options when it comes to making salads, why not get your creative juices going with your favourite add ins and toppings. Also I love to hear from you guys, leave a comment, let me know what you would like me to cook next on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, and  Youtube 

CARDAMOM SPICED MANDAZI

When it comes to Mandazi, I love them fluffy and soft and, I love having them warm with marsala tea. Adding cardamom spice to your mandazi makes them so delicious since cardamom is fragrant with a touch of earthiness.

AVOCADO STRAWBERRY BREAKFAST SMOOTHIE

Healthy breakfast is the best way to start your mornings. Since I love avocado my first smoothie on my blog is avo-strawberry. This smoothie is creamy, filled with great nutrients like Calcium which is wonderful for your bones. The best part about smoothies is that you can substitute lots of ingredients to suit your diet and preferences. If you want sugar free, you can skip the sweetener, if you don't use dairy you can add water instead or use plant based milk like almond or soy. Smoothies are great breakfast options, great for weight loss or even a post work out drink.

SAUSAGE CARROT & ONION STUFFED OMELETTE

Breakfast has always been the best part of starting my morning. Lets get a bit theoretical about omelettes a bit as I gather ingredients for today's omelette. As you know an omelette is usually made from beaten eggs fried with oil or butter without stirring like its usually done with scrambled eggs. The omelette is commonly folded around fillings like mushrooms, cheese, ham, chives, bacon or vegetables. Sometimes you can have a combination of two or more of the ingredients. Some interesting omelettes include the Nargesu an Iranian omelette made with spinach and fried onions spiced with salt, garlic and pepper. Egg foo yung/oystee omelette is a Chinese omelette. Tamagoyaki is a traditional  Japanese omelette where eggs are beaten with mirin, bonito flakes, soy sauce, water and sugar. So many ways to cook the omelette and I have just started, I must say I still don't have a favourite, yet. Let's get cooking loves!
