Quick & Easy Coleslaw

Seriously the easiest thing to make in the kitchen.

The coleslaw you buy from the supermarket should not be consumed as it is nothing like real homemade coleslaw. Doesn't taste like it, doesn't look like it, and you would be surprised at how easy it is to make yourself.

5 ingredients, a spoon and bowl and you are done. This is a no brainer for me. If something is that simple to make yourself in the kitchen why pay for some cheap knock off from the big supermarkets...and the taste...oh my it is oh-so-good.

Beer & Golden Syrup Slow Cooked Pork

Alright foodies, I think I may have hit the jackpot, the mother of all recipes, the one that will change your life forever. I am big on street food and don't get to experience it enough where I live in this small town (although that could change soon).

Our options include Kebabs, Burgers, Kebabs, Burgers, Kebabs, PIZZA! Thats it. Nothing out of the ordinary, nothing too left field and definitely nothing made with any sort of soul, flavour or love...and to this point they aren't even street foods, not served from a van or cart, not served during the day and night from said van/cart. So technically we don't have street food at all.

Anyway, thats not the point. *Get back to the recipe!*, Sure thing. I found a few variations for Pulled Pork and thought I would try it myself and add some of my own flair to it. Who loves Beer? "Yeah I do" says the guy typing this. The recipe has flavour that smacks you in the back of the head and the resulting pork shoulder melts in your mouth. It is so so so good.

Blueberry Craisin Shortbread

I will be the first to admit I am not the best at baking. In fact baking and desserts are where I fail the most. But with persistence and practice comes success right? Right!

So why not try something simple. Basic ingredients, basic method, maximum flavour. I thought Anzac Biscuits were a simple recipe but Shortbreads are by far the easiest thing I have baked. Butter, sugar, plain flour and cornflour form the basis of this recipe. To this you can add anything you want. White chocolate chips, pistachios, cranberries, milk chocolate chips, peanut butter. The list is endless. 

Szechuan Chicken Stir-fry

Hello Foodies! A quick post tonight of a really simple midweek meal I made...wait..well yes I made it, but I adapted it from a recipe I found on the internet. Szechuan Chicken can be as simple or as complicated as you want it to be. I choose the simple way because that's my midweek style. I love simple and quick meals that use 1 wok and 2 chopping boards and can generally be cooked with pantry and fridge staples.

I like being different in the kitchen and I will always adapt a recipe to suit what I have in the pantry and in this case it worked really well and the flavour combination at the end of the day was fantastic.
