Thai Chicken Bowls

I made the marinade early this morning and let the thighs marinate in the fridge for about 8 hours. Then baked them in the oven, instead of grilling, because my stove is clean 😝

I served it with cold rice noodles, bean shoots, some the big batch of slaw I made earlier in the week and homemade pickled onion.

I made a sauce with the same ingredients and drizzled it over the top of everything to finish it off.

It was absolutely delicious and I loved every bite.

Thai Chicken Thighs (serves 4)

Ingredients:
8 chicken thighs (boneless)
2 tbsp white miso paste
2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)
2 tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)
1 tbsp sesame oil or neutral oil

Chicken Salad Baguettes with Wedges

Another meal that the kids saw somewhere 🤷🏻‍♀️ and asked to have for dinner.

I made the chicken salad from scratch, adding some chopped almonds for some crunch and it is delicious.

Roast Beef Rolls with Homemade Slaw on Rolls made yesterday.

I keep losing days these holidays. We’ve had lots of time at home and movie nights and cuddles on the couch. It’s been really needed and enjoyed.

She’s becoming so confident in the kitchen. I’m truly loving teaching the kids.

Cheats Chicken Pot Pie with my little helper tonight.

Both the kids have been taking turns helping with every meal lately. And while it takes longer, I know that they will not only be getting great skills, they will remember this forever. Just like I do from when my mum and nanas had me in the kitchen either them

Shredded Roast Chicken, Potatoes and Salad

I picked up a massive chicken yesterday at a reduced price, roasted it today and now have meat for the next few days.

I’m craving salads in winter. It’s weird, but I’m weird, so it’s okay 😜

Potato, Leek and Pea Soup with Fresh Milled Rolls by Miss 5.

I chopped the veggies and put things in and out of the oven. She did the rest.

It was our first time doing a fresh milled product. We have a bit to learn about how much more liquid it needs and the proving process, but the flavour was pretty awesome.

Steak with Corn and Vegan and Gluten Free Mac and Cheese.

I used steamed broccoli and cauliflower for the base of my ‘cheese’ sauce, blitzed it with almond milk then added nutritional yeast, turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper.

The kids absolutely loved it, so I’m glad there’s enough for lunch tomorrow.

It was a great dairy alternative recipe. A lot of the time I don’t enjoy them.

Tuna Cakes, Salad and Roast Potatoes

This was our lunch today as we had something different for dinner last night.

Miss 5 isn’t a big fish fan, but she tried it and that’s all that I can ask of her. Everyone else enjoyed them, so I’ll take that as a win.
