As most of you already know, I do not like cooking because of having to deal with the aftermath of cooking. Actually, I used to love cooking and making healthy breads when I had live-in maids for 10 years. My maids would do almost all the prep work and washing up and I just had to cook. So easy and fun. But with no one helping me now and a part-time maid who cannot come reliably on the days that she's supposed to come, I have resorted to cooking really easy-peasy meals that are a total no-brainer; like dumping an assortment of veggies into the rice cooker together with the rice, steaming, baking and air-frying meats.
The thought of pan-frying, searing, and deep-frying just turns me off because of oil flying everywhere! 😬

Marinating chicken drummets and wings and leaving them in the fridge for 1-2 days. |

Oven-grilled marinated Beacon chicken drummets and wings with red rice + parboiled rice + sweet potato. The girls and I love grilled marinated chicken drummets and wings. |

I love cooking rice with sweet potatoes as the juice-infused rice grains will turn sweet and fragrant naturally. Sometimes I add organic yellow and purple sweet corn kernels and pumpkin.

Air-fried salmon. I found a simple recipe that gives me really delish air-fried or oven-grilled salmon. I marinate the salmon with a salmon rub composed of paprika powder, black pepper, brown sugar, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, and mixed herbs. And it only takes 10-12 minutes to air-fry the salmon (depending on the size). When this is served, there's always a wrestle at the dining table. |

I like to bake some nuts after baking chicken in the oven. These sweet organic cashews are great for snacking and for adding to our sugar-free low-fat yogurt. |
