These delicious Sandwiches go well under the grill or BBQ.As the weather here is gloomy, thundery and torrential at times, didn’t feel like spending too much time in the kitchen.
We had this simple healthy meal yesterday served with Mediterrean Couscous.
The chicken filling was grilled chicken with rocket leaves, tomatoes, sliced red onions and drizzled with a oil dressing …

We all thoroughly enjoyed these sandwiches, as hubby came very late yesterday as london-ipswich trains were delayed and was quite happy to dig into this tasty, vibrant meal on the table

How to make these:

Chicken Breasts : 2, cut into small pieces

Lemon: 1

Chilli powder, Turmeric, pepper powder, salt: 1 tsp each.

Marinade the chicken pieces with the above ingredients and leave it in the fridge for 1/2 hr.

Grill them in a pre heated oven 200degreed centigrade for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.

Now mix these grilled chicken pieces with rocket salad, sliced onions, sliced tomatoes.

Before filling the ciabatta, drizzle with olive oil and serve with delightful couscous.

I was quite delighted with this delicious and versatile meal, it’s quick and easy.

Hospital Days n Chicken Salad

One of my nightmares have come true in last couple of weeks.
A hectic weekend ended in chaos, A normal routine to work on a lazy monday morning changed to rushing to the hospital, blood tests, examinations and everything you dread and there I was completely dazed at the pace of things happening to me.
Family not allowed after the visiting hours so Rocky and Noel had to leave me and so there I was suddenly in couple of hrs all by myself and in thumping pain.
I found the whole experience quite overpowering. I always disliked hospitals and its may be b‘coz I was living in that atmosphere throughout my life as dad being a doctor.
And as I am quite a sensitive person, I get effected when I see and hear those distressed stories of why other patients are in there, you really think how fortunate you are.
But anyway I am back to myself now and away from those horrifying week, trying to get back into routine. When you think life is just the way you wanted with less hassle and bustle, yearning for a peace of mind , Swiftly things change in such way that it makes you comprehend what really imperative in anyone’s life.
Sorry to turn you all with my worst nightmare but felt like sharing with friends and that’s what friends are for right? In happy days and in sad days!!
I am taking things slowly so spending a lot less time in the kitchen and making some simple salads to go!!

I made this salad yesterday, a pretty simple chicken salad which can be had on its own or with Mediterranean cous cous which is exactly the way we had.
Nice simple delicious salad which was ready in 10 minutes

How to make:
Chicken breasts: 3 cut into small pieces
Ginger-garlic paste: 1 tbsp
Salt, turmeric and chilli powder: 1 tsp each

Mix all these ingredients and shallow fry them in 1 or 2 tbsp for 10 minutes on medium heat.And add these succulent pieces to Rocket salad, chopped red onions, jalapeño peppers, cucumber and plum tomatoes and serve immediately

This Enthralling Starter, Spicy Chicken Drumsticks is much loved in the family and it has always been a huge hit at dinners and It work wonders as a starter.
We were up for a spicy dish after our pleasurable time this weekend with brilliant sunshine and as a family we are quite adventurous and love our explorable outdoor trips every weekend.
We look forward to enjoy our quality time with Noel by visiting all the striking, exquisite and adventurous places to go around our county and neighbouring ones as well.

This weekend we were off to one of Noel’s favourite outdoor spot, Thetford Forest which is one of the biggest lowland pine forests in Britain with wonderful patchwork of pines, heathland and broadleaves providing the ideal setting for a day out, and a welcome refuge for a rich variety of animal and plant life. We have been attracted by the peace and tranquility of Thetford Forest as well as the wide range of recreation facilities.
High Lodge is the venue where children can explore trails, use the play furniture and have fun on the large grass area. There is always something for everyone somewhere in the deep down forest and the quieter sites provide a haven. We always like to explore by taking a walk or bike at Lynford in their Arboretum or around the lake.

Its maintained by the forestry commission and it has around 200 tree species are here and in autumn it’s a blaze of reds, golds and browns. Deer, red squirrels, bats, adders and great crested newts and rare birds like the nightjar and woodlark have made their home here. We had a great time and hope to explore other forests around east Anglia in coming weeks.
