I have a soft spot for products made locally. When you combine that soft spot with cooking and beautiful packaging – things get can get a bit crazy! Over the past year, I’ve been lucky enough to meet Jo from Bees Blessing. And I can guarantee she is as delightful as all their products!
Tonight I made an absolutely delicious marinade for our chicken made with their latest treasure: Lemon & Thyme. I’ve never tasted anything so tender and full of flavour – it was absolutely fantastic. The chicken tenderloins were only marinaded for 30 minutes before being grilled. Here is what I made this evening (give or take).
1/4 cup Bees Blessing
3 Tbs soy sauce
2 tsp fresh ginger
2 Tbs fresh garlic
1 tsp chili flakes
1 tsp dried coriander
The chicken was served along side a large green salad made out of:
baby spinach
basil
sundried tomato feta
sundried tomatoes
pine nuts
sunflower seeds
Look for Bees Blessing in a cafe or store near you and make sure to pick it up on your next shop! I guarantee you won’t regret it!
October has turned out to be a crazy busy month for me. Lots going on with work and life.. new products arriving for the holidays, mini holiday down to Wanaka, a wee cold (made better with Wellington’s own Bees Blessing), and a special photo shoot to be revealed later this week! Here’s a little snapshot of what I’ve been up to! You can follow me on instagram at @tootsnoots
Can’t wait to see what November has in store! x
