Add a teaspoon or so of water as needed for the cornstarch to form a light batter on the chicken 2) Heat a nonstick skillet and lightly coat with olive oil Place the chicken in the skilled and cook for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned 3) Turn over and cook for 2-3 minutes on opposite side Place chicken in crock 4) Mix the remaining ingredients in bowl or measuring cup 5) Poor over top of chicken 6) Cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-6 until chicken is fully cooked. 7) Enjoy!

@Lissabrol1 Pan fry the chicken with the sauce for 5 mins or put in a dutch oven over low heat for 15 to 20 mins. If you use paper bowl to absorb the excess oil after browning the meat, the finished dish would not be greasy.

Lemon Garlic Chicken
INGREDIENTS: 4 chicken thighs, bone-in, with skin 2 tbsp olive oil 2 lemons 1 cup chicken broth 4 cloves of garlic, minced 4 sprigs of rosemary (optional; plus additional for garnish) 1 tsp garlic & herb seasoning salt and pepper to taste 5 young, thin multicolored carrots (optional; can be found at the farmer's market) handful of broccolini (optional; you can replace with other vegetables) DIRECTIONS: 1. Add olive oil to pan and turn stove to medium high. When oil becomes hot, add in chicken, searing both sides until they are brown and the skin is crispy. Turn off stove. Preheat oven to 425F. 2. Squeeze juice from one lemon. In a small bowl, combine lemon juice and 1/2 tsp garlic and herb seasoning. Brush chicken skins and top of chicken thighs generously with lemon juice mixture. In a separate bowl, add leftover lemon juice mixture, chicken broth, garlic, remaining garlic and herb seasoning. Taste to see if you want to add salt and pepper. If so, add at this point. Pour mixture into the pan. It should only cover the bottom of the chicken, leaving the skin exposed so it can remain crispy. 3. Thinly slice your second lemon. Place lemons into your pot, submerging them into the broth. Add rosemary to the broth if using. 4. Transfer pot from stove to oven. Let chicken bake for about 20-25 minutes until done. About 10 minutes before chicken is ready, Add carrots, placing them underneath the chickens. About 5 minutes before chicken is done, add broccolini, placing them near the carrots. 5. Garnish with more lemon slices and rosemary sprigs if desired. Serve while warm.
Baked Chicken Parmesan Meatballs in Tomato Cream Sauce
Meatballs in tomato sauce are the best comfort when you're fighting an unrelenting cold. This can be eaten alone with bread or they would be great over pasta, quinoa, on a sandwich or maybe even cut up and added to a pizza. Enjoy! Yield: 6-8 servings For the sauce: 1 (28 oz.) can whole tomatoes, liquid reserved 1 tbsp. butter ¼ cup finely chopped onion 1½ tbsp. tomato paste 2 cloves garlic, minced ½ tsp. red pepper flakes Salt and pepper, to taste 1/3 cup heavy cream or half-and-half For the meatballs: ½ cup dried panko 1/3 cup grated onion 1 tsp. dried parsley 1 tsp. dried basil ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese 3/4 tsp. kosher salt ¼ tsp. ground black pepper 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 large egg, lightly beaten 1½ lbs. ground chicken 2 tbsp. olive oil To finish: 4 oz. shredded mozzarella 2 tbsp. freshly grated Parmesan 2-3 tbsp. minced fresh basil (optional) INSTRUCTIONS: To make the sauce, add the tomatoes to a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth, adding a bit of the reserved liquid if necessary to smooth the mixture out. Melt the butter in a large, deep skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook about 1 minute, until it begins to soften. Stir in the tomato paste, garlic and red pepper flakes and mix just until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the tomato mixture, lower the heat to a simmer, and cook about 5-8 minutes, until the sauce is slightly thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cream. Set aside. To make the meatballs, combine the panko, grated onion, parsley, basil, Parmesan, salt, pepper, garlic and egg. Stir together with a fork just until blended. Mix in the ground chicken and knead together gently until evenly combined. Form the mixture into meatballs about 1½-inch in diameter. Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs to the pan in a single layer. Let cook, turning occasionally, until all sides are browned. Once all of the meatballs are browned, place them in the pan with the tomato sauce. Sprinkle the mozzarella and additional Parmesan over the top. Bake until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling and the meatballs are cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and garnish with the fresh basil. Serve warm.

Korean Thanksgiving Treat: Songpyeon!
Don't these look delicious?! Next week on October 3, Korean Thanksgiving, called Chuseok, will begin!

They're filled with delicious things like sesame seeds and honey, sweet red bean paste or chestnut paste, all steamed over a layer of pine tree needles (song in songpyeon means pine!) My favorite Korean youtuber will teach you how to make it! For the full recipe: visit maangchi! Actually, she just uploaded a more recent version (better video quality lol) thanks @ivyheart13 for letting me know!

How to Make: 수박바!
수박바 is one of my favorite Korean popsicles that you can find in Korean marts! It's watermelon on top with a sweeter flavor at the bottom (still not actually sure what it is...) with little pieces of chocolate covered peanuts inside as the 'seeds.' 수박 - Watermelon (soo-bak) 바 - Bar (bah) If you can't get to a local Korean or Asian food market, try this recipe at home via The Pretty Bee! What you need: 3½ cups seedless watermelon cubes 3 kiwi, peeled and sliced 4-5 teaspoons sugar (optional, amount may vary based on your kiwi) What you do: Put the watermelon cubes in a blender, and blend on high until smooth. Pour watermelon into popsicle molds, filling each one about two-thirds full. Place sticks in the molds and freeze until watermelon is firm, about 2 hours. Place the kiwi and sugar in the blender and blend on high until smooth. Pour the kiwi mixture into the popsicle molds. Freeze for at least 4 hours. Have you ever tried a Korean popsicle or ice cream you've loved?
Chicken Is Your Destiny.
I appreciate that there's finally a meme that both properly expresses and justifies my love for chicken. I love chicken to the point where I have a fried chicken calendar in my apartment where each month is just a different picture of fried chicken. It's so.. so.. beautiful.

Unicorn Ice Cream Is As Magical As It Sounds.

It's swirly, colorful ice cream goodness with rainbow sprinkles of many shapes and sizes mixed in to add a little bit of candy-coated magic to the whole production. DO YOU LIKE UNICORNS???? DO YOU LIKE ICE CREAM??? THEN YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS VIDEO. So what do you guys think? Is unicorn ice cream amazing or what?

Travel Singapore: 6 Dishes You Have to Try!
I just got back from Singapore which was basically just me eating everything in sight for 4 days straight. Here are 6 things I had a loved, but keep in mind there are a billion other things you have to try there as well! (Not listed: chili craaaaaaaaaaab!!!!!!) Pictured above: Teh O Limau (black tea with lime!) 1. Murtabak Murtabak is a super tasty dish from the Middle East that I could probably eat every day. You can get nearly any filling you want (we chose one Chicken and one sardine) and it will be wrapped up in a delicious bread similar to na'an or paratha. We got curry to dip it in and it tasted fantastic! 2. Fish Ball Soup For the unadventurous or those who avoid spice, this fish ball soup is perfect. If you find that traveling gave you an upset stomach, this simple broth with some onion, noodles, and a few balls made from fish will have you feeling better in no time. Serious comfort food. 3. Carrot Cake Carrot cake is my favorite thing on this earth. Rather than carrots, it is made using radish that has been pounded into a soft almost noodle. Think gnocchi, but with radish! It's then fried up with egg and chilis, then (if you get black carrot cake) tossed around in some soy sauce. It's DELICIOUS. 4. BBQ Sting Ray The dish to the left is bbq string ray, the first thing I ever ate in Singapore. Its a fishy taste covered in a really awesome chili sauce. Once I got the fact that it was sting ray out of my mind, it tasted just like any other fish I love eating! 5. Popiah See that egg roll looking thing? That's popiah. At first I expected something like the Filipino dish lumpia, but it is so much sweeter than that. These spring rolls are common in Singapore, Taiwan, and Malaysia and are filled with fresh veggies. You can get them spicier, but they'll always have a distinctly sweet taste to it. 6. Kaya Toast (with Teh O) Made from a mixture of coconut and egg (which I just found out last week, after years of eating kaya...) Kaya jam is one of the yummiest things you can spread on toast. Traditional kaya toast has kaya and a few thick slices of butter sandwiched between two freshly toasted slices of bread. Usually its also served with soft boiled eggs which you can add soy sauce to. Get your kaya toast with some kopi or teh o (black coffee or black tea) to start your day right! I also tried Salted Egg Yolk Croissant, since salted egg yolk ANYTHING is a huge deal in Singapore right now. And to be honest, I really didn't like it. It tasted like what happens when you make icing and add too much powdered sugar. It was really dry and didn't even taste like salt or egg at all. Maybe it's not supposed to and I'm missing the point, but I wasn't a fan :/ Have you ever had Singaporean food? What's your favorite?!
Pikachu Buns
I was in a baking mood and decided to try to make these! They came out good for my first time 😁😁 I'll post my recipes below if you'd like to try and make them. If you'd like the recipe, message me 😘 My bun recipe: -200g milk (Lukewarm) -5g active dry yeast -30g sugar --240g bread flour -60g all purpose flour -30g butter (room temp) -Egg wash Step 1: put lukewarm milk, sugar and yeast in a bowl. Whisk and set aside for 5min Step 2: in a separate bowl, combine bread flour and all purpose flour. Then add milk mixture. Add a pinch of salt and knead dough Step 3: after dough can take ball form, knead in the room temp butter. Knead until butter is fully incorporated. After incorporated, put in a lightly greased bowl cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place for 30-40 min. Step 4: after 30-40 mins, take dough out. It should have doubled in size. Put flour on your finger and poke the middle of the dough. If it first bounce back, declare the air from dough and cut in 8 equal pieces. Form in to balls and set aside on a baking sheet for 10-15 mins. Make sure to cover with a lightly dampened cloth. Step 5: cut two areas on the doughball across from each other in a diagonal direction. Egg was the parts you cut in to. Sprinkle with sugar cover them again with a lightly dampened cloth and let them rest for 30 mins - an hour. They will double in size again Step 6: bake in an oven preheated to 400° for 10-12 mins and you're done! Chocolate pudding filling: -2 egg yolks -2 1/2 tbsp sugar -1 tbsp all purpose flour -1 1/2 tbsp corn starch -1 tbsp coco powder -200ml milk (hot) -2 tbsp butter -30g chocolate. I used four squares of semi sweet chocolate Step 1: whisk egg yolks and sugar together. In separate bowl, combine flour, corn starch and coco powder. Add mixture to yolk mixture and whisk together. Step 2: slowly add hot milk to the chocolate yolk mixture. When fully combined. Put yolk mixture through a strainer into a pot. Out put on burner and set to medium heat. Continuously whisk until mixture thickens to pudding consistency. Step 3: take off heat immediately and add butter and chocolate. Continue mixing until chocolate and butter mix in. Step 4: place plastic wrap directly on pudding and put in fridge to cool. After it cools, mix it again and add to piping bag.
