Sticky chicken
There are days, especially the day before the weekly grocery shopping, when I run out of ideas. I always tend to buy takeaways that day but seeing as my waist line is starting to resemble a take away menu, I thought I would try and eat more home made meals.

Sticky chicken
Sticky chicken I don’t know about you but before my culinary adventure, my Saturdays consisted of getting out of bed to go to the loo, brushing my teeth and chilling in my pjs till I started to feel frumpy.
