My Favourite Easy Meals Right Now

 

When life gets busy, I don't always want to spend hours in the kitchen.

I love cooking, but I also love simple meals that are easy to make and taste great.

Since I am currently trying to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle, some of my favourite meals have changed over the past few months.

These are the meals I enjoy the most right now.

1. Pasta Pesto

One of my favourite quick meals is pasta pesto.

It is simple, delicious and perfect for busy days when I don't feel like spending a lot of time cooking.

2. Chicken Alfredo

Chicken Alfredo is another meal I love.

It feels like comfort food, but it is still easy enough to make on a weeknight.

3. Indian Eggs

If you have been following my blog, you already know how much I enjoy Indian food.

Indian eggs are one of my favourite easy meals because they are full of flavour and simple to prepare.

4. Surinamese Chicken

If I am cooking for my partner, Surinamese chicken is usually my first choice.

It is one of those dishes that always feels special and reminds me of my roots.

5. Oxtail

My favourite comfort food has to be Surinamese oxtail.

I could honestly eat it every week.

It is rich, comforting and one of my all-time favourite dishes.

6. Chicken And Sweet Potato

Because I am focusing on my health, I often eat chicken breast with sweet potato.

It is filling, nutritious and fits perfectly into my current lifestyle.

My Secret Ingredient

If there is one thing that can never be missing from my kitchen, it is spices.

Good spices can turn a simple meal into something amazing.

I love experimenting with different flavours and creating meals that are full of taste.

My Favourite Cuisine

Without a doubt, my favourite cuisine is Surinamese food.

I love the flavours, the spices and the memories that come with it.

It will always have a special place in my heart.

What are your favourite easy meals right now?

Love,

Shavida

NASA scientists hope to communicate with extraterrestrials. They've drafted a message that they want to launch into space soon. That message is more than a simple 'hi, how are you?' The goal is to give the aliens as much knowledge about our civilization as possible. "The message incorporates basic mathematical and physical ideas to construct a universal means of communication, followed by information regarding the biochemical makeup of life on Earth," said Jonathan Jiang, the primary author. The so-called Beacon In The Galaxy (BITG) is written in binary code and concludes with a digital image of a man and a woman, as well as an invitation to reply.
