Juggling school and family life is like trying to juggle two bags of cement all on your own. One of my friends in school said the other day, "It feels like I'm ignoring my hubby and kids. I don't even cook for them anymore...that's so bad school work has affected our lives! My new best friend is my PC...so much course work! In fact Belle, any day you don't see me in school, just know that I finally quit school".
I've refused to let the stress interfere with my giving quality attention to my man and his stomach. The way to a man's heart is through his stomach after all! So I came up with this plan of stocking as many chicken thighs as possible, spiced and left in the fridge over night to marinate after which I pack them, as I want to use and preserved up in the freezer. It really comes in handy especially when an unexpected friend pops in to visit…
Here's my recipe for spicing the thighs, and the salad that goes with it.
Ingredients
Meat seasoning Salad
Beef Avocado
Knorr Cherry tomatoes
Salt Carrots
Ginger Cucumber
Garlic
Lemon or vinegar
Curry
Thyme
The seasoning process.
- Remove the skin of the back of the chicken
- In a bowl, put in the meat, be it chicken or beef
- Add the Knorr, curries, a pinch of salt, ginger, fingers of garlic, squeeze in quarter of a medium lemon and thyme
- Massage the spices into the chicken
- Put in the spiced protein into a freezer bag
- Put in the fridge to leave to marinate for 2hrs
- for the steak...fry with little olive oil and butter until browned
For the Salad
- Empty the Bristol salad into a bowl
- Grate in your carrots
- Cut the cucumber and avocado and chunk into the bowl
- Wash the cherry tomatoes and add in
Mix together and serve with any cream of your choice. I love my salad cream.
I guess it's about time to come for a visit too. Thanks for sharing
