Easy One Pot Cajun Chicken Recipe

Ingredients: 
Chicken parts (legs, wings, thighs) - we used boneless thighs
3-4 stalks of celery ribs (chopped to small pieces)
1 can red kidney beans
1 can diced tomato
1 medium green bell pepper (diced)
1 medium onion (diced)
2-3 tsp cajun seasoning
1-2 tsp cayenne pepper
2-3 cloves garlic (minced)
chicken stock or cubes
uncooked rice (brown or white)
2-3 tbsp olive oil

Fry chicken in a pan with olive oil until golden brown. Set aside.
On the same pan, sauté onion, celery, and bell pepper.
Add minced garlic once onion is translucent.
Next mix in cajun seasoning and cayenne.
Put the diced tomato and water according to how you cook the rice. Add a cup more as the beans will also absorb it. Upon boiling, throw in the chicken cubes and let it be dissolved.
Finally ad rice and beans and let it cook.

VERDICT
WILL: Now, I am experiencing the anxiety my Mom revealed to me when she asked me what food our Ate Natie should cook for us on the following day. She narrated viands and none of them hit my head and to her frustration she blurted out “Wag na kayo kumain.” Haha! Now, because of YouTube and facebook, it is lot easier to search for new kind of food to serve on the dining table.Abbey is avid fan of cooking channel at YouTube specially of The Domestic Geek. Sara Lynn Cauchon’s smile is mesmerizing!  

Abbey, surprise me of One Pot Cajun Chicken. When I arrived at our doorstep, the aroma greeted me! It is spicy, it is tasty! Flavours play with my taste buds! Gosh! What a lovely dish! 

Thanks Abbey for cooking this and cheers to The Domestic Geek for inspiring my husband to cook!

Mushroom and Baby Spinach Pasta Easy Recipe 

VERDICT
ABBEY: This is another creation of my Baby Wilma. Pasta with mushroom and spinach in olive, boring? No it is not. This simple dinner is delicious and packs a lot of flavour. 

Maybe not your ordinary pasta flooded with tomato sauce and meatballs but it is good to divert from the usual from time to time. 

Next, maybe tuna or salmon can join the party.

Inferno Singapore (2016 Film) - Dan Brown

ABBEY: This is the third installation of Robert Langdon's story; the main character of the novels by Dan Brown. 

It started in the hospital where Robert was being treated. He is having trouble remembering what transpired the past 48 hours and having visions and weird dreams. He doesn't even remember the word for coffee :) But just as puzzle-solver he is and with his skills regarding the arts, he is able to decipher it and save the world. There maybe wrong guesses and interpretation of information but all fell into places before the inferno strikes. 

Like the Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons, this movie made me appreciate the arts more and the secret passageways on museums :)


Shaw Theatres Singapore Inferno Movie Booking Confirmation

WILL: The first book I read that was written by Dan Brown is the Deception Point. Oh! I have no intention to put it down unless my eyes screaming at me so I can put them to slumber. Haha. Then, Abbey surprised me of the boom Inferno. :) And for the second time, I watch a movie that I have read. Ha!

It just validated by imagination while reading Inferno. But I cannot help myself to smile at myself because I know what will happen next. Crazy right? 

Anyways, I enjoyed the movie!
