Food glorious food

So as the name of blog suggests I will be covering all (maybe not all lol) but many of the things I like, dislike and want to try out.

Along with learning to understand my hair and doing events (visit my other blog trueambienceevents.blogspot.co.uk) I also enjoy cooking and eating :-)

So I've decided to incorporate the concoctions I prepare in the kitchen to the blog. I'm actually quite annoyed as I've had a busy cooking week but failed to take any pictures. I've now made a mental note to take pics of the things I do and may even buy a better camera, as I dont think the iPhone. Camera is that great (shopaholic - any excuse will do lol)

So on Tuesday I made some tasty BBQ chicken, well I'd like to say BBQ but I went off on a tangent, it ended up being honey mustard chicken and it was delicious. To make things clear I'm a tasting type of cook/chef, I sometimes use recipes as a skeleton and then veer off and do my own thing until it tastes the way I want it. Tbh this works for me even if I end up putting all sorts of random ingredients in the mix. Anyway back to the chicken I ended up serving it with mash- which I love and a rocket, Parmesan and tomato salad.

Am i ashamed to say I made this meal for one? HELL NO, sometimes in life you need to do things for yourself, that's what I felt for so I went ahead and made it. Greedy but tasty! Lol

But if it means anything I also spent that week baking melt in the middle chocolate cupcakes for the other half - he ate all of them- greedy little pig lol! I also made dark choc chip cookies and white chocolate with cranberry cookies for my colleagues at work - aren't I an angel... I know, i know lol, I'll take pictures next time xxx

Ps: I also made some cornmeal porridge a Caribbean staple and totally delicious- this picture came out quite dark but I thought I'd add it anyway.

Anyway adios - sweet dreams and foodie thoughts x

I love food and food loves me!...

Hey guys, so i'm just gonna go ahead and say it - I love food! i've come to realise a lot of women from different cultures have an issue admitting this, but not me! I guess i could say the same for my closest freinds and family too, my best friend or sister will call me up excited to tell me about the meal they've just had lol (is that normal??)or we'll call each other especially on a Sunday to let each other know what we're cooking that day. I wonder, do other ppl do that, or do I have some form of illness. Regardless I simply love food and that's cooking and eating it. For instance I've just had some lovely oven cooked plaice with chips, peas and tartare sauce. It might not look amazing in the picture but I was definitely humming by the end of the meal. I then thought I'd do a bit of baking (don't ask why-when I really should be washing my hair!). Anyway I made some donut muffins and they are yummy lol!
