Not my usual marinade for fried chicken but a delicious one nevertheless…..although I have to say I do prefer the seasonings with pork chops, if given a choice. Enjoy! For my equally simple go-to fried chicken recipe (one I grew up with), check out my Favorite Fried Chicken or Macaroni Salad and Fried Chicken posts. […]
What’s Cooking
Easy Open-Faced Omelet
I find that I use a LOT of aromatics and salt-free seasonings/spices nowadays to boost flavor since I have to drastically cut back my sodium intake (I miss salt!). My go-to aromatics are garlic (my absolute favorite) and sweet onion (you can get a giant bag of the sweet onions at Costco for less than […]
Chinese New Year Peanut Cookies
So, I conducted an experiment yesterday – I tested two different gluten-free flours and compared the results with cookies made from regular wheat flour and now, we are inundated with peanut cookies galore, lol. The first gluten-free flour I used was the Authentic Foods Multi-Blend Flour. I have had so much success with utilizing Authentic […]
Kuih Bangkit

Due to an extra restrictive diet and in an attempt to try to manage the physical side effects of my medications, there aren’t a lot of foods I can enjoy at the moment. However, I know I can enjoy these […]
Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Lemon Muffins
The main difficulty I had in the past when baking purely with just coconut flour was that the resulting baked goods would come out dense and wet in the center. Is it possible to obtain a tender, fluffy muffin with only coconut flour? Apparently, it is! Using a Keto Lemon Muffins recipe, I made some […]
Blueberry Cake
I totally forgot I have this fantastic, easy-peasy cake recipe where the cake bakes up perfectly and the fruit topping never sinks to the bottomless abyss, lol. The base recipe originally came from an old favorite magazine – Chocolatier, and had plum toppings but here, I filled it with a massive amount of blueberries, because […]
Fig Leaf Coffee
I’ve been hearing the term hygge (hue-guh) or self-care a lot lately and it’s even more relevant to me now, more than ever as I struggle with the consequences of a health condition and the side effects of the medications I need to take, while in the midst of a pandemic nonetheless (and I am […]
Air Fryer Ayam Goreng Berempah (Spiced Fried Chicken) with Nasi Lemak (Coconut Rice)
