Prawns Stir Fry

“For I hold you by your right hand— I, the Lord your God. And I say to you, ‘Don’t be afraid. I am here to help you.”
‭

Isaiah‬ ‭41:13‬ ‭

Greetings Beloveds ❤️

It is so sad how we are so afraid of almost everything, we are afraid of expressing our thoughts, afraid of doing things that bring us the most joy, we are even afraid of pursuing our dreams, afraid to live our truths, some are afraid of genuinely loving, I mean this is not how God created us to be like, He tells us on this scripture that WE👏🏽MUST 👏🏽NOT 👏🏽BE 👏🏽AFRAID. He goes on to say that He is here to help us, the next time I am afraid of doing something I am going to remember this assurance “I am here for you”. Don’t you just love His Word? It’s so comforting. I encourage you and myself to hold on tight to the hand that holds us by our right hands☺️

We are still having seafood right? Tonight on our kitchen we are serving prawns, I thought I’d make them creamy; you know “creamy prawns” but we had creamy mussels last night, that’s enough cream in a week😂 so why not have them as a stir fry💁🏽‍♀️

I bought my prawns at Pick n Pay, I made sure they were thawed and placed them on a paper towel so that they can be dry.

I then heat butter in a pan and sautéed the prawns😊.

As soon as they turned pink, I put them aside and cut peppers into long strips, fried them together with mushrooms then added this oyster flavored sauce.

Did not take a picture of the spices I used and I’m not going to pretend that I remember💆🏽‍♀️ because I honestly don’t. All I know is that it looks so good🤤

I steamed sweet corn on the side to have our meal balanced.

Dished Up, Served and We Enjoyed😋😋

“Do not worry about what to eat”

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😋😋

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😊

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.

Rice, Veggies and a Thigh

Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment.

1 Timothy 6:17b

I initially thought that this week we will have vegetables and chicken, but I realized when I was preparing my meal that we actually haven’t had rice in a very long time so being a believer of all things given to us for pure enjoyment, why not enjoy rice this week, carbs and all.

First things first – let’s get our chicken thighs marinaded in a quick sauce. I don’t always use store bought marinades because I know I can be creative like that😁, I used a Steers Monkey Gland Sauce, Wellington’s Sweet Chilli Sauce and the ever so tasty Spur Chicken Spice, combinations like these always produce the yummiest results.

Since this is supposed to be a quick dinner, I put my marinaded chicken in the microwave for about 6 minutes because we need all the flavors right. Then straight to the oven.

Then on to the vegetables – you can never go wrong with frozen mixed vegetables hey, they are God’s gift to us🙌🏽. I mixed mine with sweetcorn because #color💁🏽‍♀️. Cooked them with a vegetables stock, garlic, herbs and green onion.

Cooked my basmati rice on the side.

Dished Up, Served and Enjoyed😋😋
