dinner

easy chicken tacos

I go through moments of craving many things and tex-mex is one of them. At the same however, once you have had real Mexican, it is hard to go back. This is dish is my brain child of the two. A little bit tex-mexy a little bit authentic. A good go to for mid week dinners and you’ll nail nachos with these left overs.

Serves 4

Hey there

This is a collection of tastes from my tables abroad… wherever that may be. I spend my days professionally food writing my nights recipe developing flavours from my adventures.

I am at my happiest when sharing food with my favourite people. I care deeply about nourishing our bodies with goodness. I don’t believe in dieting, I don’t believe in fads, I believe in feeding your body simply with home made deliciousness.

I’ll jog your memory: you’re 19, it’s 2am, you’ve just left clubba and you head to fresh provs because HJ’s is closed. This and maybe that Broccoli Salad 🙌🏼 in any case, this is mid 30’s Holly recreating her youth. You’re welcome! Sticky Honey Soy Meatballs on the blog.

It’s like a sticky cinnabon bun, meets sweet potato pie, meets smiling Canadians … except for dinner. Maple Sweet Potato Soup With Bacon on the blog 🇨🇦

Things we know about ordering takeaway Chinese foo Things we know about ordering takeaway Chinese food: 

1) You will inevitably receive an oversupply of wooden chopsticks. Obviously this is because you over-ordered and you only have yourself to blame for the restaurants assumption. 

2) The food will be mildly OK. Just good enough for you to finish you container but not good enough to alleviate the feeling of takeaways remorse.

3) No lessons will be learnt and you will repeat this two weeks later. I call this Regrettable Chinese Takeaway.

So all in all, it’s probably just easier to grab some steak and a broccoli and sort this one yourself (or until next week when you Regrettable Chinese Takeaway all over again).
