Crispy Fried Chicken Wings

My mom used to make chicken wings like this once a while for us. She never cooks her wings any other way except frying them. I had features a few other wing recipes here like Crispy, Sweet and Sticky Chicken Wings, Grilled Mayonnaise Chicken Wings, Honey BBQ Wings, Oven Baked Chicken Wings, etc but this is just a plain and simple fried one. I just marinate it with a few ingredients and coated it with some flour and fried it. Delicious!

Ingredients:

10-12 chicken wings – clean, cut and tips removed

Seasonings:

2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp ginger juice
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp chili powder
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp salt

Orange Almond Sweet Rolls

The weather is getting a bit warmer so it is time to make some bread for our breakfast. Instead of the regular cinnamon filling I change it to citrus infused almond filling. The rolls are soft and fluffy and the almond filling is not overly sweet. They are the perfect rolls to have along with a cup of coffee or tea. We just adored these rolls and we take one of this any times over the traditional cinnamon roll.

Dough:

¾ cup milk warm
6 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs
4 cups flour
¼ cup sugar
2 ¼ tsp instant yeast
1 tsp salt

Raspberry Almond Cake

It is not a very good idea to bake cake when you can’t smell anything. As you can see this cake was over baked and turn out pretty dark. When I do baking I normally don’t use a timer as I rely on my sense of smell. Once I can smell my bakes that mean it is time to check on it. I baked this when I was sick over a month ago and once I put the cake in the oven I totally forgotten about it until it was too late. Oh well, nevertheless it still tasted great.

Ingredients:

226 gram/2 sticks/1 cup butter
180 gram sugar
5 eggs
170 gram ground almond
150 gram flour
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
50 ml milk
1 cup Red Raspberries

Asian Style Butterflied Roast Chicken - S$20 Budget Meal (Blog Event)

I will prepare at least 3-4 elaborate dinners each week and the rest of the week will be something simple like sandwiches, salad or leftovers. I don’t normally have a menu plan out for the week. During groceries shopping I will buy what is in season or what items are on sale. I will cook the weekly meal based on what I bought or what I still have in the fridge.

Here is one of the many meals I prepared for our dinner and sharing this with S$20 Budget Meal Blog Event hosted by Elena of Cuisine Paradise. The theme of this event is to prepare any "2 Dishes plus 1 Soup" or "1 Pot Dish" using a Maximum budget of S$20.00 or in my case US$15.00. I spent a total of $ 12.21 for this meal that will serve 4 people.

We will have roast chicken once every two weeks. I will usually marinate it with lots of fresh herbs and seasonings but for this chicken I marinate it with some Asian ingredients. We will usually eat this with roasted vegetables accompanied with some bread or rice.
