A huge welcome to Week 32 of the Tuesday Tutorials Pintorials Pin Party!
This week I am featuring fruit recipes! My fellow blogger has shared her recipe on how she made this yummy looking peach and apricot jam! Next is Handpicked Life who made amaretto strawberry. I had not tried it before but I will definitely give it a try! It looks delicious! Last but not least, Christianity Cove made a beautiful looking fruit octopus!
Last week, on the eve of Chinese New Year for our reunion dinner, I had cooked a steamed fish. I mentioned in the post why a fish dish is a must on the table, so today, I am writing my recipe for you if you wish to follow.
Pop the fish in the steamer for 6-8 minutes or until it is cooked. Mix 4 tablespoons of Kikkoman soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, 1 teaspoon Shaoxin Chinese wine and pepper. Pour in the mixture once the fish is cooked. Serve while hot. It is that simple! They are fantastic!
ilumi is a County Durham food company who has been cooking up nut-, gluten- and milk-free foods for nearly a decade. Their team of chefs and nutritionists combine the allergy-friendly ingredients to create delicious meals. A fellow blogger, +Laura CYMFT, kindly offered me a chance to test these beautiful microwave food pouches.
As a family meal, we aim to eat a healthy meal with at least two portions of fish a week. To accompany the fish, I always use oven chips at the same time. We only stock McCain’s chips as they have always been our favourite chips. I love McCain’s French Fries as it is very crispy and crunchy. While Mr C prefers the texture of McCain’s Crinkle Cut chips.
Baking with children is one of our activities we do at home when it is a rainy day or simply because we fancy it. It is a great way to teach them and enjoy family time together. I can not say I enjoy it 100% because inevitably you spend double the time cleaning up the mess they make. But it is a great way to prevent them from watching too much TV.
As a busy mother of two, I always try to find quick and easy ways to cook a healthy meal and food that my family would enjoy. So when I came across Pyrex’s website for recipes, I found this 10 minutes quick and easy meal – Spicy prawns. Prawns is my son and my favourite seafood.
To cook this dish, I decided to use Pyrex’s Classic cake dish with handle. It is shallow and round which is ideal for cakes/puddings but I believe that this glassware is suitable for all purpose use as it is safe for oven and microwave. Since we have a small family, I think this is the perfect dish for cooking a small portion of spicy prawns.
