kitchen with banana muffins in tupperware (recipe below!)Nothing super exciting to say this sunday night, but I did want to share those photos of my "new" flat (since I just realised I never posted any when I moved in back in October, so no don't worry I haven't moved again, just photos you've never seen before :)
Aside from that the Camden Market is sadly still closed, but from what I've heard nobody was injured, which is a good thing! Today I went to pick up a letter of reference from my mate Jim, which I will share with you along with the two recipes I made today for my mates Kirsty & Dan who came over for dinner.
Jambalaya (serves 4)
1 1/4 tsp olive oil
1 1/3 chicken in bite size pieces
5 oz kielbasa (or pepperoni) - diced
1 green bell peppers (I use three: one red, one green & one yellow, but up to you)
1.5 TBS minced garlic
1/8 tsp cayennne pepper
1/4 tsp onion powder (I didn't have so it's optional)
1 1/3 cups uncooked rice
2 2/3 cup chicken stock (or vegtable if that's all you've got - like what happen to me today)
2 bay leaves
1 1/4 tsp worcestershire sauce (didn't have this either)
3/4 tsp hot pepper sauce
heat oil, over med-high, saute chicken & kielbasa about 5 mins, stir in onions, peppers, garlic, cayenne, onion poswer, salt & pepper, cook addition 5 mins (until onions are translucent), add rice, stock & bay leaves, bring to boil, reduce heat, cover & simmer for 20 mins, stir in worcestershire sauce & pepper sauce, mix well & serve - YUMMERS!!!
Sara's Banana muffins (a combination of 2 recipes I found online so I'm calling it my own)
2/3 cup butter
3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg
2 ripe bananas
3/4 tsp vanilla (unless your my dad then you add double ;)
1.5 cups flour
1/8 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp baking powder
2/3 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
preheat oven to 175C (I think that's about 350F), mix everything aside from chocolate & walnuts, mash with hands so the bananas mix evenly throughout. Once creamy, add in chocolate chips & walnuts, stir well & place into greased muffin tin (or muffin cups), bake about 20-30 mins - DOUBLE YUMMERS!!
