jiggly java

summer is here and what better way to cool down that lazinf around with your favorite drink. I am still hung over making jello (still - because the last experiment I did was a failure *sniff*) so armed with new vigor I decided to make coffee flavored jelly which I will then add to a cold mocha drink.

Mocha Coffee Jelly Cooler
ingredients:
- 2 packets 3 in 1 (cream, coffee and sugar) coffee mix
- 2 packets black coffee mix
- 1 packet unflavored clear gelatine powder
- enough water as called for in the coffee mix
- a few squirts of chocolate syrup
- milk
- sugar to taste

how to:
- prepare the jelly as per package directions and flavoring it with the packets of black coffee. Chill until set. Cut into cubes when set
- prepare the drink by dissolving the packets of 3 in 1 coffee mix in half a cup of hot water, add a cup of water and half a cup of milk to make two cups.
- add chocolate syrup and sugar according to your taste. chill.
- to assemble, fill half - more or less to your liking- of your serving glass with the jelly cubes and pour in the mocha drink. Ice cubes optional.

cool drink with homemade banana bread - now my belly fat jiggles!

getting Stuffed!

I my house no leftovers are never wasted - we dress them up or 'reinvent' them into new dishes for the next meal, such is the case when I made these stuffed bell peppers. I had a couple of cups of  leftover rice in the fridge along with a slice of steak and mixed veggie sidings from the steak dinner we had the previous night. I wanted to make it like a java rice but didn't have the turmeric powder needed to color the rice yellow so I used the curry powder I had instead and liked the mild spicyness flavor it gave the rice. Curry Rice Stuffed Bell Peppers ingredients: - 2 large bell peppers - 2 cups of leftover rice - 1 cup cooked sliced meat of your choice - 1 cup cooked mixed veggies - chopped onion and garlic - 1 tsp or more of curry powder how to: - cut the bell pepper in half to make 'cups'  - if you are using the long big ones or if using the round ones have 4 and just cut the tops off, carefully remove the seeds - blanche the bell peppers i...

winner winner chicken dinner!

whenever I don't feel like slaving too much in the kitchen and want something fast and cheap, my go to option is to get a whole Roasted Chicken. Yep, we love our chicken, but you got to admit sometimes store bough roast can be a tad bland and dry. In cases like this I dress it up a bit and throw in some veggies and a sauce to give it more flavor and liven it up. Sweet Chili Chicken Stir Fry ingredients: - half a roasted chicken deboned and the meat cut into strips - 1 cup broccoli florets and stems - 1 medium carrot sliced - 1/2 cup broth or water - 1/2 cup of sweet chili sauce (or more according to your taste) how to: - just toss everything in a work cooking until veggies are crisp tender - best served with hot steamed rice  no more bland and dry chicken! this one is saucy, sweet and spicy like chinese take out
