Recipe - Chicken on Rice

Am off to HYPER JAPAN in London Olympia today but wanted to share this recipe with you. I need to defrost my freezer and I still have a lot of meat in it... So this week I decided to finish a box of chicken legs and thighs and I needed a new recipe since my usual recipe is really winter food and they dont sell pre-cut soup mix vegetables at Tesco at the moment (how is that for being lazy!).

So after checking Allrecipes (my favourite recipe site), I came across this recipe:

You will need:
  • 2 cubes chicken bouillon
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cups water
  • 6 chicken thighs
  • 1 teaspoon Italian-style seasoning
Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Dissolve bouillon in 1 tablespoon boiling water.
  3. In a medium bowl combine the rice, butter/margarine, onion and 2 cups water. Mix well and pour mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  4. Place thighs on top of rice mixture and season to taste. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes (depends on the size of the thighs).
I served this with roast vegetables and it was to die for! Quick and easy (great for after work) and sooo good!

Doesnt it look great? You can see the tray of vegetables in the corner there.

If you've had a long day and you need a quick and fantastic dinner, this is definitely an excellent option. I hope you will like it as much as I do :)

    Chicken and rice together are pretty much always a winner. I host a recipe swap every week and I'd love for you to come by and show off a recipe or two. Have a blessed day :)

    That sounds tasty and simple! I've never cooked rice like that in the oven - simple and less messy than on the stove top or rice cooker! I'll have to try!

    Thanks for linking to a Round Tuit!
    Hope you have a great week!

Scissor Sock Tutorial

Image
Hi all! I've had so many request from friends for these scissor socks that I wanted to share the tutorial with you. I've been sick for a while so this tutorial is well over due. This will be my first sewing tutorial so I hope it's clear enough :) Feel free to make you own or for friends or family, but please don't use it for commercial purposes or make them to sell. It is after all not my pattern. So let's get started :) You need: 2 pieces of fabric with different print Interfacing (with ironing option on one side only) Cord Ribbon 1 button  Beads Cutting mat and ruler Rotary cutter and scissors Some sort of circular template (I use a small plate) Needle and thread Cut the fabric and the interfacing to a rectangle of 9x12.5 inches (23x32 cm). Decide which fabric you want where, this will influence the next step. Use your circular template to round one corner. The fabric you want on the top and bottom of your sock will have t...

Easter Prep Stage 3 - Happy Easter!

Image
Happy Easter everyone! I hope you're having a great day and no matter where you are you've had your fair share of Easter eggs whether real or chocolate. :) I was a bit late as usual so had a few last minute projects to complete last night... Lots of cool Easter projects though, let me show you:  I started this at last week's Craft Meet. Everyone around me was knitting and I felt a bit like a 5-year old with my paint chips cutting out eggs, but there was a need for it. I found a great idea on Pinterest and just had to try it. So I rushed to the DIY store and got a pile of paint chips... Taadaa, the Easter bunting! Isn't it the coolest! The original idea was found here (please link to the ORIGINAL POST when adding this to Pinterest if you want to pin this) , and I just love it! The paint chips I used were a little different from what the original post shows, and I thought it would be nice to have some diagonal eggs as well. THAT was not such a good id...

Fabulising February - Men's Shirt Dress

Image
Hi everyone! Fabulising February is nearly over and this is the last project I have managed to complete.Tomorrow I'll post a short recap showing all the finished projects. Wanting to go out with a bang, I tackled a men's shirt that the bf bought online many years ago and forgot to return it so I wanted to make something nice out of it. Seems a waste to be throwing away a brand new shirt! Granted, it was white and while probably cotton it was very thick and stiff material. So I dyed it purple. Of course. Once it was purple, I then had to try and do something with it. Easier said than done! I finally found a cute idea for a dress in blogland (didn't save the link though) and I really wanted to try that. But the instructions were super tricky so in the mending pile it went. This is the shirt. Much too large even for the bf but purple at least ;) And a bit wrinkled for being in the bag for a very long time. But with only a little time left in my Fabulising February ...
