Barley Salmon

“Then the son said, ‘Father, I was wrong. I have sinned against you. I could never deserve to be called your son. Just let me be—’ “The father interrupted and said, ‘Son, you’re home now!’”

Luke‬ ‭15:21‬ ‭‬‬

I am certain we are all familiar with the story of the prodigal son, if you are not I suggest you quickly run to Luke 15 and read all about him. So many lessons in that parable but what hit me the most is how when he came back to his senses, he went to his father to acknowledge his poor choices, not once do we hear him play the blame game. He does not say “but dad, had you not given me my inheritance, surely none of this would have happened.” He owned up and is teaching me today that in this walk of serving and living in purpose – looking in a mirror now and again when I am off track is imperative to avoid the “I did it because of this and that”, surely I also contribute even if it’s 5%🤷🏽‍♀️. Let’s also thank God for grace I mean the response the FATHER gave🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

It’s a new week and that to us means a new theme. 🥁🥁🥁. This week’s theme is “SEAFOOD”. Why not start it off with my favorite of all time, I know I have lots of favorites but salmon is right on top of the list🤞🏽.

First things we sauté mushrooms in salted butter, who else has noticed that mushrooms always find their way in my meals😅.

This is the salmon I am using, I rubbed both sides with salt and pepper.

On the pan it went, I used olive oil – fried both side for roughly less than 5min each side🤔

I then added this oyster flavored sauce from Woolworths.

I added barley on my mushrooms, these are also a godsend gift to us foodies hey, literally ready in 90 seconds – microwave does the things

See? Easy, yummy meal right here💁🏽‍♀️

Garnished with spring onion – I must use it daily before it gets spoiled😉. I Dished Up, Served and We Enjoyed😋😋

Chicken Necks Soup

“There should be a consistency that runs through us all. For Jesus doesn’t change—yesterday, today, tomorrow, he’s always totally himself.”

Hebrews‬ ‭13:7-8‬ ‭

Well people who know me can attest to the fact that to me CONSISTENCY is number 1, well maybe the idea because I haven’t mastered this character trait yet but God being faithful to all our desires is really working through me🙌🏽, let me just pat myself at the back for consistently blogging last week for the whole week👏🏽 – we try again this week💃🏽. Let’s have Jesus as our standard for he is always himself, no circumstance makes him change who he is or what he is about, one day I want to be known as that blogger who always sticks to her schedule, who always publishes on time and I know with “one day at a time” it is possible.

It is a good thing I just confessed now that my consistency game is not up to par I mean I didn’t take pictures of the ingredients used in this meal BUT I won’t let lack of pictures put me off like they used to in the past💆🏽‍♀️

Be that as it may, our chicken delicacies for the night are chicken necks, the weather was literally begging for a soup so I thought why not make “chicken necks soup”

I firstly cooked the necks on the side, made sure they were nice and brown.

Prepared the vegetables on the side in a vegetable stock, I had cabbage, carrots strips, spring onion and sweet corn.

I let it cook and simmer in low heat until the necks were “fall off the bone” vibes😊

Dished Up, Served and We Enjoyed😋😋
