My curry chicken recipe

I love curry chicken it's one of my favorite dishes it's just so full of flavor and it's different from just typical chicken whatever that means lol. I recently made some curry chicken for dinner and I knew that I had to share this recipe with you all I hope you enjoy this share your thoughts about this with me and let me know If you made it.

 

Curry chicken recipe

Ingredients

Chicken thighs, breast, wing, drum stick (whichever you prefer I used chicken thigh).

Curry powder any brand you like my favorite brand is chief Indian curry I use nothing else.

Onion powder

Garlic powder

Red onions or yellow whatever you like

Directions

I like to debone my chicken but I know some people like to have the whole pieces of chicken so that is  up to you. So if you want to debone then cut the bone out and cut the chicken into medium size chunks and  then add onion powder and garlic powder mix it up to make sure all the chicken is coated. Next chop up and onion I am excessive lol so I use a whole small onion but you can use half of an onion  I then add a bit if oil to my pot and let the onion cook down. When the onion is cooked down it brings out the flavor cook it down for about 5mins. When that’s done add the chicken to the pot with the onions and add the curry powder to the chicken while it is in the pot mix it to make sure the chicken is completely coated. Put it on a low flame and leave the lid leave lid a bit open because you don’t want the chicken to burn or stick. While the chicken and curry is in the pot it will create it’s own juices so after 15 mins just check on it to make sure it’s not burning and that it has created it’s own juices. When it’s completely cooked and tender serve with rice and enjoy!.

My new favorite hair product

I do not know how to do hair for the life of me lol I don't know how to cornrow or flat twist nothing over the past few years I've  learned the basics like how to wrap my hair or how to do plaits for a braid out. I usually wear my hair straight or in a protective style which is usually kinky twist however before the year ended I became really interested in wearing my hair curly.  I am a bit of a product junkie so I am always looking in the hair product aisle to see what I can find to enhance curls or moisturize I usually use Shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie I have been using that  for the past  three years. However a few months ago I ran out and I decided I wanted to test a different product. I came across some cantu products, I have used a product from their line a few years back and I wasn't too keen about it but I thought I should give it another try with different products. I am very HAPPY that I decided to do that I use the oil moisturizer and the  curl activator  for natural hair on my braid out and my hair is extremely defined and soft, bouncy, shiny and overall  amazing. The products are also affordable I spent around 12 or 13 dollars for both products combined  I purchased it from my local beauty supply store but I am sure I purchased from target or Wal-Mart it would have been  cheaper. I definitely recommend this for anyone this is now a staple/favorite  in my hair care routine when I am doing braid outs. Also I do want to add that I am not natural I have a texturizer and I do not have anything against anyone who is natural it's just not for me. For details on purchasing click the highlighted caption underneath the photos I hope you guys use these product if you do let me know how it worked for you.

A must-have EVERY girl should have

You know how in the movies you always see the women coming out of the shower with their towel perfectly tied and their hair perfectly wrapped in a towel as well? lol. Well the shower wraps and hair wraps from target are going to give you just that look lol. The wraps come in cute prints and they are affordable as well as the head wraps some of them match the towels.  The towels are easy to put on after showering they have Velcro attached so they stay wrapped and they aren’t too short. The towel hair wraps are great to use after washing your hair they soak up a lot of water and they have a little loop attached to keep the towel on your head. I love these items and I think every girl can use these trust me you’ll love it. Information for purchasing both the head wraps and towel will be below click the highlighted link under the pics. Do you have a shower or hair wrap? let me know what you think let's chat.

One print wonder

Over the past year motorhome and printed sets have become a huge trend I guess I never really thought of trying either trend because it just wasn’t for me but I enjoyed the look on others. However this year I am trying to step out of my comfort zone with fashion so today when I found out h&m was having a sale I figured I should grab this set I have been eyeing for some time now. I can’t for the set to come so that I can wear it and of course it’s perfect for spring  and it can be dressed up or down I can mix and match the top with different bottoms and the bottoms with different tops.

Step into spring part 1

 Recnltly I posted an look for less inspired by Kim.K’s camo pants however my inspiration didn’t stop there. With spring around the corner I am sure I am not the only one ready for warm weather and less layers .  For this first look I featured these h&m pants that I am obbsed with this is a cool dressed down look for when you just want to relax grab lunch or go shopping/run errands.

           

 

Look for less: Kim Kardashian

Today Kim Kardashian aka the fashion slayer was spotted out wearing what I consider a casual look and I love this look and I was inspired to do a look for less because I definitely want to re-create this look. What I love about this look is anyone can wear it any size and it can be dressed up or dressed down. Also Kim has worn these Giuseppe Zanotti boots before and I love how she mixes things up and wears things more than once just like the rest of us lol.

 

 

 

Kim is wearing Faith Connexion Paper Bag Cargo Pant that retail for $795.00 with a white cop top from house of CB that retails for $77.00.

 

Look for less

 

 

H&M cargo pants come in Khaki green and brown and retail for $29.95 and vary in sizes 2-16 (like I said anyone can wear this look). I LOVE these pants and they will be

a staple in my wardrobe this spring.

 

 

 

These  edgy/ combat like booties are  from forever 21 and you can’t beat the price at $32.90 they look similar to her Giuseppe Zanotti ankle boots. To complete this outfit pair the pants and shoes  with your fav t-shirt, crop top or even a graphic tee. I hope you all enjoy this post and re-create this look!.

My chipotle copcat recipe

If you love chipotle like I do then this is the recipe for you there are times when I want to eat chipotle but I have no way of getting it  whomp whomp whomp!. So that’s when I have to put my cooking skills to the test and make my own. This  is my version of a chipotle chicken burrito  you can also make this recipe in a bowl, or with any meat and toppings you would  like. I happen to like no toppings but hey that’s just me so let’s get started.

Ingredients

Chicken thigh, or breast which ever you prefer I like dark meat

Lime

White or Brown rice

Soft tortillas (burrito size)

Fresh cilantro

Salt

Garlic powder

Onion powder

Oil

Directions

Chicken

Add oil to your frying pan and put it on a low temperate and  then clean your chicken and  cut the chicken into strips vertically and then diagonally so that you get little pieces. Add salt, garlic powder and onion powder onto chicken and mix it up. Then when the grease is hot enough add the chicken to the pan and cook chicken until golden brown.

Rice

Follow the directions on the box for your rice while the rice is cooking make sure you clean the cilantro and chop it up very finely before the rice is completely done and add the cilantro to the rice or you can add the cilantro to the boiling water.  Cut a lime into two halves and squeeze the juice from the lime and add it to the rice and cilantro.  Below I added photos of most of the steps, ingredients and final product.

Chicken in the pan

Whole wheat tortillas I decided to use but you can use corn or flour

 

                                                  Brown rice with cilantro and lime

 

 

This is the finished product as I stated before I don't like toppings but make this recipe your own you can add whatever you like. I did roll it up into a burrito which is not pictured but it was really good and I've made it twice since I have made this lol

 

 

 

please share and tell me if you like the recipe and if you decide to make it I would like to know how you made it your own enjoy!.

However Over the weekend I learned about this r great plus size website called pulssize fix .com that carries some really cute pieces and I thought I'd share a wish list of items that I like. The link to purchase these items are down below as well as the retail prices.

 

This leopard print dress is perfect for date night or just a night out at the club.

This can be dressed up with heels or dressed down with flats I love the sweetheart neckline which complements women with large bust. It retails for  $42.99 and runs in sizes 3XL (seems to be all that's available on the website right now).

A creative budget-friendly Valentines day gift

It’s that time of the year again Valentine’s day and besides looking for something to wear I'm sure the other problem is looking for something to buy for a loved one. I have a really creative side and I enjoy using it when it comes to gift giving.  I thought of a cute idea to make your own V-day treat bag. Usually when it comes to treats on V-day everyone thinks of the box of chocolate or the heart shaped message candies. However why not create your own bag or box with treats that your partner, friend or family member likes. That way you know the person is going to enjoy the candy you're giving them because if you’re like me you don’t like most of the candy in the box lol. This weekend I went to target and purchased a pack of  cute inexpensive treat bags that I am going to fill with candy and give to my loved ones. Also you can fill the bag with many things it does not have to be candy it can be a mini hand sanitizer, notepad, small bottles of body midst or hand lotion get creative! that's why these bags are so great you can do  whatever you want and of course it is  budget-friendly.

 

 

 

             These treat bags costs $2.00 for 4 bags with heart shaped stickers included.

 

Where to purchase.
