Wednesday favorites!!!

Heloooooo my sunflowers 

 It’s been a long time since I’ve posted. But I have not done Wednesday favorites in a very very very long time. 

Can you guys guess what today’s Wednesday’s favorite is? 😋😋😋😋😋my favorite food!!

For those that know me know that FOOD is seriously the way to my heart. I love GOOD FOOD. I am VERY PICKY when it comes to food and I would like to think that I am an expert when it comes to food

This was actually a very good meal. It was at Kream in Brooklyn. I don’t remember what this was but I think it was cheese ,mash potatoes and steak. 

My OTHER FAVORITE! 

This is definitely my favorite breakfast. This is a specialty at Tasha’s Mall of Africa. 

They don’t have this meal at other Tasha’s in Gauteng. 

So drum roll please 👏👏👏👏👏this is chicken livers with an omelette on top.This is AMAZING!!!

My other favorite is SEAFOOD😆

I seriously LOVE seafood and one of my favorites are mussels or oysters. I don’t know why I love seafood but it’s amazing!

My other favorite seafood meal are prawns and calamari. I have not tried a lobster but I seriously would love to try one, If anyone knows the BEST lobster places please let me know.  

         

                         

My favorite dessert is definitely malva pudding I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!! My wedding is definitely going to have Malva pudding. So I eat Malva pudding with custard. I’m not a fan of ice cream. Honestly the best Malva pudding I’ve had is from woolworths . I’ve been to great restaurants that have Malva pudding but it’s not that great like the one from woolies. 

That's it for now. 

Hope you all enjoyed reading this blog like I enjoyed writing about it

Did somebody say fruit salad?

Good afternoon everyone 😬

Today is the day for my Wednesday favorites 😬

If you are new to my blog please go to my Wednesday favorites menu and check my first post and read what its all about for you to understand why I call it Wednesday favorites.

I have not posted Wednesday favorites in a while. So my favorite today is the lunch I had which was a fruit salad that I made with yogurt. Mhmmm it might seem to wack but it is really nice and fruit salads are really nice to eat in summer because they are colorful ,tropical and very summery.  You can make your fruit salad at home actually you don't have to buy it from the shops if you have your favorite fruits at home you can cut them and mix them ,make them look colorful if you like or not. 

So my fruit salad was very simple,I just had strawberries and oranges mixed together:) simple but soooo delicious!😍

Tell me what your favorite fruit salad is ?

Till then stay blessed and beautiful 💗

It's Friday !!😬

Good evening everyone 😊

This morning I had some really wonderful breakfast😊 As I like to explore , I like to try out different places to eat because eating at one specific place all the time can get boring. So this morning I had some breakfast with my cousin at Roca Mamas. I didn't know that Roca Mama's actually sold breakfast, I just know them for burgers and wings so it was refreshing to see what they had as a menu. I ordered scrambled eggs , bbq beans , toast , chips and bacon then I had my meal with some hot chocolate. One would swear that the hot chocolate is actually a latte with the way they designed it. So yes I enjoyed my breakfast and if you haven't been to Roca Mama's for breakfast I would suggest you try it out and if you have had breakfast there comment below and tell me your experience 😊


Till then stay blessed 💗

How to cook dumpling and stew!!

Hey!!!

Today I've been posting a lot,I'm trying to catch up on the days I have not been posting so hope you guys are enjoying my posts as much as I am !!😬😬
Today I made dumpling and stew so my receipe is actually focused on how to make the stew and not really emphasized on the dumplings!! This is one of my FAVORITE Dishes !! I love it !!

Ingredients:

Beef Stew

• 3x Potatoes 
• 2x carrots 
• Chopped onions 
• Beef stew 
• Beef stew Knox cubes
• Chutney 
• Worcestershire sauce 
• Meister Club prego marinade sauce 
• Olive oil 

Dumpling 

Buy ready made dough from spar or pick' n pay

         Methods for the beef stew

• If you have a slow cooker put the stew in for about 40 minutes if not then I will tell you later what to do
•  Meanwhile while the meat is cooking you must dice your potatoes,onions and cut your carrots which ever way you want to cut them. 
•  Then once the meat is finished in the slow cooker take it out and put it on a bowl and wait for it to cool down a little beat them after pour all the sauces mentioned in your ingredients your chutney ,marinade and worceshire sauces and mix your meat  then when finished leave it there for a few minutes to absorb the marinade 
•  Then get a pot put it on the stove and put a little bit of olive oil then wait for it to get hot then throw your diced onions and fry them then add your carrots and fry them then add your meat and fry your meat until brown then add cold water that covers the meat a little bit and add your Knox beef stock cube and let it simmer for about 40-50 minutes and stir in the meantime 
•  After that you can add your potates and once your water gets finished you can keep adding more water now remember  I said if you don't have a slow cooker I will tell you what to do? Yes this is the part now. If you don't have your slow cooker your meat is going to take a while to cook because its depending to get soft and cooked in the stove so approximately it will take you 1hr:30 minutes to cook the beef stew without a slow cooker so the slow cooker just cooks the meat a little bit for you and makes it soft so that when you cook on the stove you don't take long 
• then your beef stew is ready!!! 😬 

Methods for the dumpling

• Like I said it's easier to get a ready made dough then making it, it makes your cooking time less 
• So you take the tough you bought and you get a pot that will fit it and you put the dough in a plastic bag 
• Then you add water to the pot and you out the plastic bag with the dough in the bag and let the dough boil for about 30-40 minutes then it will be ready 

Hope you guys enjoy my meal as much as I do!! Comment below and tell me how it went and if you like it 😊

How to cook Alfredo Pasta

                                                              ALFREDO PASTA

This is one of my favorite recipes that I learned to create, I love how it's so simple and yet so delicious to make. Hope you all enjoy it. You can comment about the recipe if you like or let me know some few tricks of your own if you have :)

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 a pack Pasta
Cream
bacon( if it was in the freezer, take it out in the morning and make sure the ice melts completely)
1 tablespoon of Thyme
mushrooms
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
olive oil
salt

PREPARATION:

cooking the pasta:

1)you need to get a pot and put it on medium heat and then pour water in the kettle and let it boil.
2) After the water is done boiling in the kettle you must pour the water in the pot ( the water should fill about 1/2 of the pot or a little bit more depending on how many people will be eating)
3) Wait for the water in the pot to boil then you can pour the pasta in the pot and wait for it to boil and then when it boils you pour a tablespoon of olive oil in the pasta and an inch of salt
4) While the pasta is cooking you can just keep stirring but don't leave the pasta or otherwise it will burn
5) Once the water is finished in the pot check how the pasta is looking if it's still a little bit hard then pour water again and let it boil in the pot (but be careful don't pour too much water because otherwise your pasta will come out soggy and we don't want that )
6) Once the above is done you can take your pasta out

Cooking the bacon

1) Get the bacon and as I have mentioned make sure it is not iced at all. Now depending on how many people you are serving for it will determine how much bacon you should use. Start cutting the bacon in small pieces or cube pieces
2) Get a non stick frying pan and heat the stove and then pour about a table spoon of olive oil then wait for the oil to get hot
3) Once the oil is hot pour the cut bacon into the pot and start frying it until it becomes a bit brown.( be careful not to over fry it and then it burns or becomes crispy)
4) Once the bacon is brown you can start pouring the cream in the pot and start stirring and lower the heat so it simmers
5) While the bacon is cooking you can start cutting your mushrooms in small pieces as well or however you like it then you add it in the bacon mixture
6) You can add a teaspoon of 1/2 of black pepper and a tablespoon of thyme and start stirring everything
7) Let it all simmer for about 5 minutes then you can pour your bacon mixture into your pasta and mix it nicely so that the pasta has all the sauce.
8) And lastly enjoy your homemade alfredo pasta..If you would like you can add some grated cheese on top
