Yes, the long hiatus is over and Ztampf!Shop is online once again!

If you’re subscribed to Ztampfever, you would have seen the new Year of The Dog series, as late as it came! Better late than never, don’t you agree?

Below are some layouts I put together quickly using the Year of The Dog Series:

These are my adorably mischievous nephews, I call them De Krucils – a word play to mean The Little Crew. This layout is done using one of the QuickPages in the Year of The Dog Album.

This is my beautiful mother, she has just celebrated her 73rd birthday in February 2018. Don’t you think she’s aging gracefully? Created with Year of The Dog Kit. The pre-decorated frame used here is also available in the Year of The Dog Ensembles.

Ztampf! is entering its 11th year this year, and it is quite a long time! With what’s been going on in my life the past few years, I haven’t been designing much for Ztampf! I need a fresh change to re-charge and rejuvenate my Ztampfiliciousness. Hence, after much considerations I have concluded that an official hiatus is in order. During my hiatus, my studio at SBG would be temporarily closed, to be re-opened after my hiatus ended. I can’t tell yet how long it will be, but I will be back one day – sooner or later!

So I have been cooking, and discovered that I enjoy it! I don’t really follow any recipe, I would make up my own whenever I feel inspired – usually just putting things I love together, prepared in a simple way. I have always loved baked or grilled dishes, so cooking with an oven is my go to method. This one here is my newest and most successful one so far.

I came up with this chicken dish to provide a healthy, well balanced meal that is bursting with various flavours that I love: spicy, tangy, zingy, herby, with a hint of sweetness. It might be too strong for some people, so you can reduce some ingredients according to your personal taste. In fact, I can’t tell you exactly the amount of each ingredient I use because I just play it by the ear – or by my taste buds, to be more precise ;). You can prepare the seasoning paste in bulk and store it in an airtight jar in the fridge, ready to use any time. This way, you can prepare your meal very quickly!

You will need an oven for this dish.

This layout is done with Ztampf! Metalese Two Paper Pack and elements from the Holiday Recipe Set.

INGREDIENTS

Paste à la LF
Minced Garlic
Grated Ginger
Fresh Lemon Juice
Chopped Red Chilli
Palm Sugar
Butter
Salt
Olive Oil

• Chicken Breast Fillet
– skinned, boneless
• Fresh Basil Leaves
• Prosciutto Slices
***
• Potatoes
• Pumpkin
• Broccoli
• Semi-dried Tomatoes

PREPARATIONS

Mix in all the ingredients of the Paste in a jar with wide opening. Stir well until you reach an even blend.

Heat the oven to reach 140ºC/ 284ºF.

Get your roasting pan ready. Brush the surface lightly with olive oil.

Slice the chicken breast from the side, leaving the other side intact. Open it so it lays flat. Apply the paste generously – or to taste, interleaving with prosciutto slices and basil leaves on both sides. Close it. Apply some more paste on top of the closed chicken piece. Do this to each chicken breast piece.

Put into the roasting pan together with the potatoes, pumpkin and broccoli. You may brush them all lightly with the paste. Leave it in the oven until the outer part of the chicken starts to brown a bit. Add in the semi-dried tomatoes. Increase the heat to 180ºC/ 392ºF and leave it until the chicken surface looks deliciously brown. Turn off the oven. Serve.

That’s it! Very simple, isn’t it? I hope you’ll enjoy it! If you tried this out, please share with me :)
