Honey Lemon chicken with soya sauce

I saw this recipe in a local woman’s magazine. Thus I have no link to share.

Ingredients
- Chicken thighs
- Honey
- Lemon juice
- Soya sauce: Dark and light
- Pepper
- Crushed garlic
- Ground garlic and ginger paste
Steps
- Make deep cuts in the chicken pieces.
- Mix ginger and garlic with the chicken pieces.
- Marinate chicken in the sauces. I add 4 tbsp of light soya sauce to every tbsp of dark soya sauce. Lemon and honey to my whimsy taste ;p
Leave chicken marinated for at least an hour (overnight will be ideal)
- Heat oven at 220 deg C. Season with ground pepper and crushed garlic cloves.
- Bake for 45mins til chicken is cooked and skin is crispy yummy!

Garlic soup

I came across this recipe when the boys were showing early signs of the flu bug. Since I had all and more ingredients, I quickly got set to work.

Oh I must add a note- my children are anti-soup (except for Princess who enjoys only potato leek soup- recipe coming soon ) That does not stop me from making this versatile and v v nutritious dish. Recent discussion in a local parenting forum taught me easier of making soup even without pre-made stock. Just throw in the bones with ingredients! How hassle-free is that! (except for the chopping and dicing ;o)

Back to this recipe, not sure if it had any great impact but I think I managed to prevent the flu bug from spreading with this and other effective natural remedies )

Ingredients
- Garlic (roasted or fresh) I also discovered how easily I can make my own garlic butter with roasted garlic!!
- Potatoes
- Carrots
- Leek/ onions (or both )
- Celery
- Peppercorns
- Thyme
- Stock
- EVOO/ butter

Steps
- Saute leek and potatoes (with fresh garlic) in oil/ butter, until softened.
- Add carrots and stock. Let ingredients simmer. Add the roasted garlic.
- Add pepper and thyme.
- When ingredients are cooked, cool the soup.
- Puree in blender.
