I’ve seen quite a lot of food images of home-made xx-nut butter – almond butter, macadamia butter, cashew nut butter etc. The recipes of these exotic butter sounded easy to execute too – just keep grinding the nuts in a blender and don’t ever give up before you reach the end of the road. So I thought to myself: why not give it a try, especially since I have a bag of almonds sitting around and doing nothing in the kitchen cabinet?
It was time to clean out my kitchen cupboards. I had this small bottle of sriracha sauce that remained last year from my attempt to cook a few different Thai dishes such as Pad Thai and Sriracha Honey Chicken. I originally wanted to finish using up my sriracha sauce as fast as I could, before the year ends, but it is already 2016!
Let’s start the year right with a hearty and healthy bowl of vegetable chowder. This chowder recipe has loads of Vitamin C and fiber in it, what with its plentiful vegetables. The bacon bit topping is an additional treat for myself, but these are really optional and can be done without.
I was getting a bit tired of eating Chinese style steamed fish. It was a dish that was on my menu for quite a long time now, since I was pregnant till about seven months after the little munchkin was born. Now that I finally had freedom of choice for what goes into my mouth, I decided I should do something different to awaken my eager palette.
I love the red colour a lot. It signifies the arrival of Christmas in a couple of days’ time. This champagne would make for a lovely drink to serve and impress your guests during Christmas parties. It is quick and easy to make too.
