Fried Hake and Savoury Rice

“We know that God works to help those people who love him. He uses everything that happens to them to bring something good. He does this for those people that he has chosen to serve him.”
‭‭

Romans‬ ‭8:28‬ ‭

Greetings Beloveds ❤️

You know how sometimes things don’t make sense, I mean one moment you are certain you are on a right path, things are working out for you then the next you just don’t understand what is happening. I’ve been there a couple of times and listen to what His Word says: we KNOW, my oh my, just that one word is enough for me, the fact that we do not assume or hope or imagine; WE KNOW. We are convicted within our minds, hearts and entire beings that indeed God is out there using everything that happens to us whether it is confusion, good, bad or detours to bring something good. Let’s never doubt that us being chosen by Him to serve Him guarantees us peace in the midst of all that happens because WE KNOW it happens for our good. I hope this encourages you as much as it did me.

Tonight we are wrapping up our #SeafoodTheme, is it me or did it go on and on and on. It did because I have two meals that were not fortunate enough to be featured as blog posts but I will share their pictures here😊

First was hake medallions in sweet chili and oyster sauce served with rice, lentils and a salad.

The other one was the infamous Fish and Chips. Made by yours truly👩‍🍳

Now back to the meal of the night. I started by preparing my vegetables with our favorite vegetables stock from Woolworths.

Added my cooked basmati rice and mixed it well with the vegetables. Tell me if this doesn’t scream “eat me now”🤤

One day soon I will have a good fryer, one day very soon I repeat. Anyways I used Southern Coating for my hake, the instructions are on the pack😉. I thought I’ll grill but ended up frying it.

Made a coleslaw on the side.

Dished Up, Served and We Enjoyed😋😋

I have noticed that I don’t greet you guys, such a bad habit🙄.

Hello Beloveds❤️, I hope you like that pet name I have for you because I think it is the most appropriate based on how I feel about y’all☺️

Let’s get right into it – today’s verse teaches us that our God given gifts are not to benefit us but are for the benefits of other people. Imagine how it won’t make sense to cook delicious food that only you get to eat🤦🏽‍♀️. I learned recently that we are not responsible for the gifts that God didn’t give us meaning that if I can’t sing God is not expecting me to sing like Adele [insert your fav musician]. I am responsible for the gifts I know He has given me and may I just ask that we don’t “copy” other people’s gifts – make it a point to flourish in what you are gifted in and you will know if your motives are wrong, your conscience will let you know. We will obviously stumble and fall because this is a journey, good to know that the Holy Spirit is here to help us.

Tonight we are having my husband’s favorite meal to make – I thought why not also try it, hopefully I do justice to it like he does. I started off by defrosting the Snoek.

I decided to stuff it with sweet peppers, mushrooms, garlic, ginger and chili.

Spice of the day was this yummy flavorful Cajun Spice from https://www.paarman.co.za/

Then I gently opened the snoek, rubbed it with olive oil and added my stuffings.

Covered it with foil and into the oven it went.

Beloveds, how amazing does it look, I will start timing #NoteToSelf☺️ but I kept opening it up to see if it’s coming along okay until I was satisfied with how it looked and tasted🤤.

I cut it nicely then, added avocado then… I Dished Up, Served and We Enjoyed 😋😋😋

Tonight we finish off our #PastaTheme, to say I thoroughly enjoyed experimenting and playing with different pasta would be an understatement, it was so fun and makes me look forward to the next theme😁

When I think of a #WeeklyTheme I let my husband know, it’s a good thing he is also a foodie so he sometimes helps with ideas but tonight he didn’t come up with an idea, tonight he called me from one of my favorite spots in our area: Fairmont Zimbali http://m.fairmont.com/zimbali-resort/ (check it out), not only is it the most beautiful place ever, they serve the most delicious food😭.

So when he called me and said I should not cook, he will bring me a takeaway after a meeting with his friends – I prayed that it is along our theme😅 otherwise I was not going to post🙈.

Few minutes later he arrives, I quickly run to check what’s inside and the ever so considerate and thoughtful husband of mine ordered my favorite of all times SALMON, guys my love for salmon knows no bounds, I love it so much so that if it was possible, I’d have it on a daily basis, well maybe not daily but you know what I mean, right?

Salmon with noodles😋, noodles do fall under the pasta category🤔, correct me if I’m wrong. Next time I go there – I am definitely having this meal again.

To think that I had committed to both myself and friends that I will post once a day – I guess I underestimated how a slight change of routine can mess up the rest of the day😅

Anyway, be that as it may we are back at it and I just want to post all the dishes I did on my #PastaWeek theme uhm not on a single blog post though😝.

I don’t have all the pictures of the ingredients I used in this recipe.

I cooked spaghetti as per the instructions on its pack while grilling fish on the oven.

This was a very quick meal because after putting cheese sauce on the cooked spaghetti I tossed baby tomatoes and parsley and added my grilled fish, doesn’t it look yummy? It tasted just as good😊
