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!
Well who can actually believe that the holiday break has come to an end!? I’m not sure about you, but I’m certainly not ready to go back to regular life starting Monday. My staycation has been lovely but just not quite long enough.
I’ve been lucky enough to have my partner at home with me every day – thus a date with him every day! We’ve been exploring different beaches, parts of Auckland, cooking delicious meals, and relaxing around the house.
