Honey Mustard Chicken

Hello hello, I'm still alive! I just took some time off from blogging and cooking. It's just that the sizzling weather down here makes me feel so fatigued and drained. Question, how hot is it in your city?

So what's for dinner today? Baked honey mustard chicken! You can definitely grill this just that I didn't want the hassle of cleaning afterwards especially when I'm just cooking for one. Anyhow, I feel this recipe taste much more satisfying when accompanied with a nice green salad. Say goodbye to salad dressings and just let the flavors of the chicken marry with the salad as they dance around your mouth. Wow, that sounded slightly creepy. Enjoy!

I admit garnishing dishes is not my forte

Pretzel Burger

I don't remember when was the last time I ordered a burger from a fast food joint. After a burger I always end up feeling miserable and fatigued. Think about it, the food is loaded with preservatives and low quality ingredients then off it goes to the deep fryer. So why not cook at home? Yes, it may be time consuming, but you can always make everything in batches, freeze it, defrost it, and reheat it! This is what I usually do on my lazy/tired days.

Today's recipe is my favorite burger patty and it goes perfectly with the pretzel buns I posted a couple of days ago. The burgers are delicious, juicy, easy to prepare, and with the right amount of seasoning. I'm sure you'll enjoy these as much as I did :).

As mentioned previously, you can make a batch and freeze it. The best way to freeze the seasoned raw patties is by lining them up on a waxed paper lined cookie sheet. In between each layer of burgers, put a double layer of waxed paper so that they don't stick. When they are frozen solid, put the patties into ziplock bags and they'll last for about two months in the freezer. 

You can enjoy the cooked patties 1) As is. 2) Hamburgers. 3) Dice it finely and use it as a pizza topping. 3) Crumble the meat and add it to your favorite spaghetti sauce. 4) Mix it with sloppy joe sauce. 5) In a bowl of rice top it with a cooked patty, fried egg, and gravy. Now you got yourself a Loco Moco. Be creative!

Smoky and Spicy Rub

Why go to an expensive restaurant to get a delicious and juicy steak when you can make it in the comfort of your home? Here is a spicy and smoky rub for steaks, chicken, ribs, or any cuts of meat. All you need to do is rub a couple of tablespoon of dry rub per piece of meat. Grill it in a preheated grill for 3-4 minutes on each side (I used a ridged iron skillet) and finally brush the meat with some Worcestershire sauce mixed with tamarind paste and ketchup. Easy huh? Told you so! You can also mix the wet and dry ingredients together to save time but careful because sugar burns easily.

***Remember the steak needs to be at room temperature before they go on the grill, oven, or skillet***
