Chicken Gizzards with Quinoa

“Each of you has received a gift in order to serve others. You should use it faithfully.”

1 Peter‬ ‭4:10‬ ‭

If there’s something I say a lot and sometimes in a form of a joke is that “I AM HERE TO SERVE”💁🏽‍♀️. I was at a wedding last weekend, after the reception ended and people started leaving I found myself getting up to clear the tables by removing all the decoration so that its owner will just arrive, count her things and pack – when the other ladies saw me doing it they got encouraged and started helping me. The wedding planner was amazed and couldn’t stop thanking me but to me it was not a big deal at all. I don’t want to miss an opportunity to live out my purpose and now that I know it is to SERVE I will do it faithfully🙌🏽

Tonight’s chicken delicacies come in a form of chicken gizzards. I like them but I don’t like the fact that they take a long time to cook and for someone who is in to quick meals this can be a bore🙄.

Anyways, I started cooking the gizzards first in salt and pepper then did my vegetables actually I didn’t “do” them, I sautéed them 😅🙈 in butter; I had baby corn, mushrooms and sugar snap peas all together seasoned with a Veggie spice from Robertsons.

Gizzards were all cooked by now so I added them to my veggies.

Some of you know by now that we use this stock from InaPaarman’s a lot so tonight I used the chicken flavored one.

Look how amazing this already looks and the aroma is out of this world.

I made quinoa on the side.

Mixed everything together. Dished Up, Served and We Enjoyed😋😋

Butternut Rounds meet Sweet Chicken and Creamy Spinach

“This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

Psalm 118:24

I don’t know if it is because I declared that I will not only be excited about serving but I will wake up everyday looking forward to it. Indeed there is so much power in declarations, I woke up this morning so glad thinking that this is the day that the Lord has made, this is a brand new day and blogging like serving just takes a day at a time.

We are wrapping up our “Rice, Chicken and Veggies” theme, I got WhatsApp messages from my contacts saying they have tried some of the recipes and enjoyed them. Glory be unto to God🙌🏽

We close off our theme with a “Sunday Meal”. First things first – chicken seasoning, this is what I used. Then into the oven it went.

For the spinach, I started with frying mushrooms then added my washed spinach, seasoned with my favorite sea salt.

I made a sauce for my chicken in the meantime, which consisted of sweet chili, monkey gland and lime juice. No measurements there – your chef intuition must just come through 😅. Poured it on my almost cooked chicken and put it back to the oven.

Took out salted butter and sautéed (I’ve always wanted to use this word🙈) the butternut rounds, no seasoning required here because our butter is salted💁🏽‍♀️

Added cream to my spinach and mushrooms mix – please do forgive me because I honestly don’t remember which one I used, forgot to take a picture but you can see it looks delish already.

Paired my rice with sweet corn this time around. This is how my chicken came out like.

Dished Up, Served and We Enjoyed😋😋
