Happy Pancake Day Foodies.

It is a tradition for me and my family to make Pancakes together every year on Pancake Day. This year is different though as my little girl will also be helping out in the kitchen lol.

This is how we are celebrating our Pancake Day today :-)

Check out my recipe for that perfect pancakes here-http://saiprojectscooking.blogspot.co.uk/2015/08/homemade-pancakes.html

Good Monday Morning; It is so gloomy out there today. And for all you Coffee lovers out there, this is the perfect opportunity for you to grab a cuppa and sit back to read the below facts about your favourite brew!

I was shocked with some of these facts myself.

1. Coffee is the world's second most valuable traded commodity only behind Petroleum.
2. Energy drinks don't have as much Caffeine as your favourite Costa or Starbucks Coffee.
3. The world consumes close to 2.25 billion cups of Coffee everyday.
4. Coffee is most effective if consumed between 9.30am and 11.30am.
5. Coffee beans actually aren't beans, they are fruit pits.
6. Coffee doesn't taste like it smells because Saliva wipes out half of the flavour.
7. Drinking a cup of Caffeinated Coffee significantly improves blood flow.
8. There is a Coffee shop in France where not saying "Hello" & "Please" makes your Coffee more expensive. lol
9. 54% of the Americans drink Coffee every day.
10. The word Coffee comes from the Arabic for "Wine of the Bean".

Today 7th February marks the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL) .NFL is the highest level of professional American football in United States. The game was created as a result of agreement between NFL and American Football League (AFL). The two were merged in 1970. Super Bowl Sunday is considered national holiday by most fans. It is the second-largest day for food consumption in the U.S. after Thanksgiving Day. The Super Bowl is also one of the most watched American broadcasts attracting more than a hundred million viewers. 


Today the  NFL is going gold for the 50th anniversary of the the Super Bowl where Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers will face Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos in a battle for the Lombardi Trophy. 
The game will be held at Levi Stadium, the new home of the San Fransisco 49ers. 
Its a shame we in the UK only get to see it around 11.30pm at night, but I'll sure be tuning in tonigh. Hope you're watching too?

Hey Foodies, Happy Saturday!!!!

Hope you're all having a nice weekend so far?

So this afternoon its very cold out there and the weather is very gloomy; I decided to make myself some nice Chinese Special fried rice & Sizzling Chicken. Recipe for the Chinese rice here-http://saiprojectscooking.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/chinese-beef-fried-rice.html

I opted out the Beef & used mixed vegetables instead






Recipe for the Sizzling Chicken will be up on the blog soon I promise, I didn't take pictures whilst making them and to me Pictorial recipes are by far the best. So I'm sorry I'll post it on the blog
soonest.

Today 5th February 2016 is being marked as World Nutella Day. And for all you Chocolate spread lovers, it would be good to join in the fun.

World Nutella Day was founded by an American blogger named Sara Rosso. She is a big lover of the Chocolate spread hence why she founded World Nutella Day on February 5th, 2007.

And Nutella fans loved it! They came together to celebrate their passion for Nutella® on social media through photos, recipes, poems, and messages. From Italy to Australia to the Americas, World Nutella Day has since become a global phenomenon with people sharing and spreading the wonder of Nutella at home, work, and school; in their communities off- and online; with family, friends, and fellow fans everywhere.

Today 4th February is World Cancer Day.

World Cancer Day is a chance to reflect on what you can do, make a pledge and take action. Whatever you choose to do ‘We can. I can.’ make a difference to the fight against cancer. And the only way to eradicate cancer is to help cancer charities who need funding and also to help people and families living through it.

It is also very important for women to get their smear tests done in order to cut risk of developing  hard to spot cervical cancer. "Cervical cancer does not show symptoms until it is at an advanced stage" Please make sure if you are between the ages of 25 to 49 years old, please get yourself checked.

It is also very important to support research laboratories to find cure for cancer and donate either money, clothes, stationaries etc to Charity organisations in need of them.

Here is a stash of clothes I'll be donating to my local breast cancer Charity this week.

As Valentines day is only some days away, I'm sure you've probably got a date night planned with your better half.

I personally don't like eating out on Valentines day as most restaurants are always chock a block,  you never get time to enjoy your meal and they also give you a limited amount of time to be there and trust me this defeats the purpose.
