CHOCOLATE MUD CAKE & BAKED CHICKEN

LEMON GRASS, GARLIC & HERBS BAKED CHICKEN

What a beautiful day it was today... I and up staying all morning in the garden imagining what I could star growing right now to collect at the end of year (when my mum would be here from Brazil). I am thinking in plant grape tomato again (as last year was a success), baby eggplant, green beans and some more herbs... The chili trees I planted last year are still giving some fruits, so I used some to do my baked chicken today. I picked parsley, rosemary, chili and lemon grass... And it was all from my little garden... I am so proud!!! Them I mixed with garlic, olive oil, paprika, onion, carrot and chicken drumsticks and put everything to roast in a hot oven for 1 hour... I served with rice and salad... It was a very enjoyable meal!!!

CHOCOLATE MUD CAKE

I think I am addicted to bake... To be honest, I do need to loose some of the weight I have been putting on for a while, but to bake is so irresistible... Especially if you are not working. Everytime I pass through the kitchen I am look the oven thinking in what I could try next time... I need to resist this urge as I should be cooking more of WW food which is not bad at all. I need I bit of planning and discipline... Meanwhile... Look at this CHOCOLATE MUD CAKE I have just done this afternoon... I will be honest: it was the BEST CHOCOLATE CAKE I've done in my life! It was my first attempt with mud cake and it was a success! This in a way is a bad news because my hands will be itching to cook it again... Everything about the cake is nice; texture, taste, color, smell, height... Next time I am asked to bake a chocolate cake for a birthday party, this would be it!!!
