“Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do.” Philippians‬ ‭4:5‬ ‭

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.

Chorizo and Prawn Pasta

“A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is his delight.” Proverbs‬ ‭11:1‬ ‭

We are all busy doing this and that but we have to make sure that we find a balance – making sure that I keep up with the vision I have for this blog requires nothing but balance and to think how much God hates a flawed balance makes me want to be more focused because at the end of the day, this isn’t only about me.

I’ve never cooked nor bought chorizo before, I think I saw a post about it from a fellow foodie on Instagram and having a theme like this for an entire week demands one to be on a lookout for a “new” recipe because there’s no way we are having one thing over and over again.

Tonight’s pasta is Macaroni, experimental as we are – we will never forget where we started from.

I literally threw everything in my pan, pepper strips, prawns, chorizo, spices while cooking my macaroni on the side.

Believe it or not, it came out beautifully cooked, added my al dente macaroni; dished up, served and enjoyed 😋😋

Tagliatelle and Chicken Strips

“But I have this against you: you have abandoned the passionate love you had for me at the beginning. Revelation‬ ‭2:4‬”

I love how the Holy Spirit is able to shut me up when I start coming up with silly excuses – He gently says “babygirl, you have abandoned the passion you had for writing”, but because He is able to restore what the enemy steals from us, yes, even my passion😊 I am back here and I have my priorities back in order🙌🏽.

We are left with only two meals before we close off this #PastaThemedWeek so today we have tagliatelle, it’s my favorite of all time.

I prepared the pasta as per the instructions on its pack💁🏽‍♀️ while I fried my chicken strips in olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper, we don’t leave herbs behind😋

Can I be forgiven for not taking pictures of the whole preparation – some nights are not like the others but I will definitely improve as we go.

I put a cheese sauce over my pasta and mixed it with the cooked chicken strips.

Cheesy Mince Fusilli

You can make many plans, but the LORD’s purpose will prevail

Proverbs 19:21

I am not even going to make up an excuse for not posting for such a long time, today’s scripture sums it up so well🙌🏽

We are on our 4th night of #PastaThemeWeek and tonight I thought why not make our old time favorite🤷🏽‍♀️ who doesn’t love pasta and mince? I mean at some point my husband called it “the lazy people’s go-to meal”😮 shocking right, considering that some households have it on a weekly basis because it is yummy and easy to make💁🏽‍♀️😊

Back to my recipe – I did not take any pictures when I was making this meal🤦🏽‍♀️

I fried peppers, added my mince and put in spices (oregano, paprika and barbecue).

Fusilli was prepared according to the instructions on its pack😊, added lots of grated cheese…

I put in tomato and sweet chili sauce to the mince then poured the cooked pasta, mixed it well, after that I dished up💁🏽‍♀️

PenneDrumsticks

So I bought different kinds of pasta because if you plan on having pasta for the whole week, you cannot afford to be making the same type over and over again😅.

Tonight I thought left me pair my penne with drumsticks and see what happens.

First things first, cooked the pasta as per the instructions on its pack then I fried bell peppers and added drumsticks.

Further browned my drumsticks with a soy sauce then added these canned tomatoes (blended them first)

At this point I had all my favorite sauces and herbs mixed together with the gravy and chicken in preparation for my pasta.

Added the cooked penne and my PenneDrumsticks were ready to be eaten 😋😋
