My curry recipe

Chicken curry

I am a self confessed food junkie!

Like i LOOOOVE food...
I mean if i had the choice of shopping for food or shopping for clothes, i`d probably pick food...
(ok,slight exaggeration there, but you get what i mean...i LOVE Food!!)

 I can`t eat most processed foods, i`ll basically be writhing in pain for hours after eating.
So i have to make my Food from scratch. (Good thing i love to Cook)

So i thought i`d share how i make my curry.

 

Recipe

 

4 fillets of chicken ( or any other meat/Fish)

1 onion, sliced

4-6 mushrooms sliced

1 can lentils (any kind is fine, remember to them rinse well)

1 can beans (any kind is fine,remember to them rinse well)

2 tbsp concentrated chicken Stock

100-200 ml water.

250 ml coconut milk

2 tsp curry powder

chili flakes

2 tsp flour

Salt + pepper

2-3 cloves garlic or 1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

 

On medium/high heat fry the chicken and onion until the chicken is cooked through.

Add the  flour and combine and stir well so the flour doesn`t burn, add the water and coconut milk, keep stirring.

 

Add the chicken Stock,mushrooms, chili flakes, garlic, onion Powder, curry powder,salt and pepper.

Let it simmer until sauce is thick, if its too thick, just add more liquid. continue to stir.

 

Add lentils and beans  let simmer for 5-10 min.

 

Serve with rice, nan bread and mango chutney.

 

YUMMY!!

HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY

 

XOXO!

Dare to dream, dare to hope

Pinterest

I believe us humans are  born with a purpose in life other than to just exist.
we all come with our own personal blueprint in a way....that makes me who i am and you who you are.
But in spite of our differences as human beings,we all have something in common.
We all have hopes and dreams for our lives, for our future. (not the same ones of course,lol)

Pinterest

I can only speak for myself, but i know i have dreams,longings and hopes for my life that i really want to come true.
And i must admit, there are dreams i had hoped would`ve happened already.
I`ve been heartbroken over what has not come to be.
I have let fear and anxiety get in my way.
But in spite being heartbroken over unfulfilled dreams, hope keeps me going.

Since i was a child all i ever wanted to do was to sing, i love music.
I have the talent , but i lack the confidence.
I grew up with the mentality " don`t think you`re anything special" ,If you have the talent you shouldn`t act like you know it kinda thinking.
So my ability to pursue my biggest dream has been lacking because of how i was taught to think.

Pinterest

I have done a lot of singing over the years,and loved every moment of it,but it seemed it didn`t lead me anywhere.
And i wanted to go further, my dream is to sing for a living.
To live off my biggest love and passion is my biggest dream in life.
I`ve probably made some wrong decisions along the way, but that can`t mean that i can`t have my dream come true,can it?

I`m choosing to believe that as long i`m living,there is always a chance for my dreams to come true.
But i have realised,that my dreams won`t fall into my lap,they rarely do for anyone.
I have to work for them, put myself in motion.

But that is sometimes easier said than done....
I can feel totally paralyzed,unable to do anything!!
And it makes me feel desperate and frustrated.

I have also let my age be a factor as to what i can and cannot do.
But age has nothing to do with it!
If i want it bad enough,i will find a way to reach my goal.

Pinterest



I wish of course i had reached them at least 10 years ago, but i have a feeling i wouldn't`ve been able to handle it as well as i know i can now.
Maturing is just as an important part of the process.
Some things just can`t be hurried (clearly!)

I have started to write songs again, and are gonna start recording some of my songs soon.
I`m fortunate to have a brother who`s also a musician and has a small studio.
So i`m in the progress, the best is yet to come i believe.

I will dare to dream and dare to hope....

I thought i`d share one of the songs i was singing a duet on a good few years ago.( actually long ago.lol)
I was singing in a gospel choir at the time.
Hope you like it.

Color me happy!

I personally LOVE bright colors, on both makeup and clothes, i can`t get enough of it.
And as spring and summer approaches, i just can`t help myself.
I`ll whip out my brightest nail polishes and lip colors.

I find that wearing colors actually does something to my mood, it makes me really happy.

On my nails ,Hot pink,baby pink,purple,Orange,turquoise,blue, Coral...... you name it, they`re all fabulous!
Any shade of Coral is my favorite color , but i love and wear any of the other colors of the rainbow.

In the photo above is one of my favorite colors : Tart Deco from essie

For my lips, i`m a sucker for hot pink and Coral hues.

With a bright colored lip,eye makeup should be toned down and simplified .

Just mascara and eyeliner is more than enough.
