WITCHY BREADED COCONUT CHICKEN TENDERS

(For Protection)

Is there really anything better in this world than tea, plants, crystals, and chicken tenders?

This is kind of the adult version of the chicken tenders I grew up on as a kid. It's my go-to on nights I get home late, and don't have the time to plan out a lavish meal lol.

Anyways hope you enjoy it!

Ingredients:

A little over a pound of chicken tenderloins

1/2 cup shredded coconut - Protection, Purify

1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/2 cup flour

1 tbsp paprika - Energy

1 tbsp garlic powder - Warding, Protection, Healing

1 tsp onion powder - Absorb Negative Energies

1 tsp chili powder - Warding, Protection

Salt and Pepper - Banish Negative Energy

2 eggs + 1 tsp water

To Serve:

A Salad of mixed dark leafy greens

A dipping sauce of your choice

Directions:

Combine Panko bread crumbs and shredded coconut onto a plate. On another plate, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and salt and pepper.

Beat your 2 eggs, add water, and leave out in a bowl of some kind. Salt and pepper your chicken tenderloins. First, take the chicken tenderloins one by one and dip them into the flour mixture. Then the egg mixture, and lastly, dipping them into the coconut bread crumbs. Put onto some sort of baking sheet.

You can either bake, air fry, or fry these. I recommend frying or air frying!

Frying: In a deep pan add about 1 inch deep of oil. When oil is hot, fry for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked.

Air Fryer: Cook at 400 F in the air fryer for about 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until cooked.

Baking: Bake at 375 F for 20-30 minutes, or until cooked. They should be a nice crispy brown color.

Serve to overtop a nice plate of leafy greens, and use either a dressing or a sauce for dipping.

Enjoy!

E-offering for Lady Aphrodite🕊🩷

“The Song of Mounykhia” - to Artemis.

Portuguese:

Canta, Ó Musa, de Ártemis do Arco Dourado A fugaz caçadora que do prado é dona Cujos olhos argutos de luar perscrutam o campo E identificam a presa ao qual seu alegre dardo encontra As passadas vorazes da Senhora das Feras Ecoam na batalha sanguinolenta O brilho dourado e Selene acima Ártemis sobre o campo impera e ilumina E agradecidos mortais entoam seu nome Queimando incenso, bolos e mel Sagrada Ártemis longiflecheira é honrada Pela clareza noturna que iluminou o céu

English:

Sing, O Muse, of Artemis of the Golden Bow The fleeting hunter who owns the meadow Whose sharp eyes of moonlight scan the field Identifying the prey that Her delightful dart finds

The voracious footsteps of the Mistress of Beasts Echo admist the bloody battle Her golden glow and Selene above Artemis over the field reigns and illuminates

And grateful mortals chant your name Burning incense, cakes and honey Sacred far-shooting Artemis is honored For the night clarity that lit up the sky

 The festival of Mounykhia is a celebration that occurs on the 16th lunar day of the hellenic month of Mounykhion. It’s about honouring Artemis as Potnia Theron, the Mistress of Beasts and (through the celebration of Arkteia) is also linked to a rite of passage of young girls. You can read about it more here.

hi! i love your blog so much. i am an aspiring kitchen witch:) i was wondering, do you have any recipes that would serves as a good offering to hermes, or recipes that he would like to be a part of in general? thank you for the amazing posts as always~❤️

Wellll he usually seems to like things like beer, honey, eggs, and clean water. So what about some honey beer-battered fish?

HERMES HONEY BEER BATTER FISH

Ingredients

5 cod fish fillets

12 oz bottle beer of choice (the alcohol with boil-off while cooking, please don’t have a heart attack yet)

1 beaten egg

4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)

2 tbsp raw honey

2 tbsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp old bay seasoning

Salt and pepper (to taste)

1 cup flour

Directions

In a pan or bowl, combine flour, old bay seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Whisk in your beer, honey, and egg. Season your cod with salt and pepper.

Coat your codfish in batter one at a time, pour oil into a deep pan or pot. The oil should be about 3 inches deep. When your oil becomes very hot. Add your cod into the oil and let cook until golden brown, about 6 minutes, or until fully cooked. 

Plate with some fries and enjoy!

PSA: Aphrodite isn't just romantic love, the ancient Greeks had 7 words for love!

eros: your typical love, romance, sex, all that. typically what Aphrodite is known for.

philautia: self-love (which is SO SO important!)

storge: parental love, the bond that parents and children have with each other.

ludus: playful love - banter, teasing, flirting as a joke with your friends.

pragma: longstanding love, that is built upon trust and respect for one another. can be any type of relationship.

xenia: hospitality, a love and care for strangers and the people around you.

agape: true, unconditional love. the love everyone should aim to feel for others and to let others feel for them.

Lady Aphrodite is all of this! She tends to like hearing about relationships (in my experience), and She's always willing to lend some advice!

(my favorite recipe posts I've made over the years, plus backstories that sound like your grandmother's reminiscing over the past.)

LATE WINTER BUTTER ROLLS

My first post I ever made. I was pretty new to the tumblr community at the time. I loved kitchen witchcraft, and I'm the type of person who will ramble on about how much I love cooking and baking. This blog gave me an outlet to express my love of cooking, baking, paganism, and witcraft. And these rolls are very tasty, I make them to this day!

WITCHY TOMATO BASIL SOUP

Tasty, simple, and a crowd-pleaser. It's perfect for a beginner kitchen witch! It was also the second recipe I ever posted.

SWEET CREAM BUNS

It was a recipe given to me by one of my good friends at the time. Every time I make it, it gets devoured in less than 10 minutes. It was also my first recipe to get over 50 notes. I was shocked but ecstatic that so many people would even give it the time of day lol.

WITCHY THUMBPRINT COOKIES

These ones were just fun to make and delicious lol.

A WITCH’S COZY BUTTERNUT WINTER SOUP

A quick soup that feeds a lot of people during the fall season. Fall is my favorite season, so of course I'm very biased lol.

SAMHAIN PUMPKIN BREAD

I love pumpkin bread and apple cider... So why not combine the two? This one was definitely one of my favorites of all time. Moist pumpkin bread and chocolate chips have to be one of my favorite things on this planet. It also makes for the perfect gift for friends and family. Yummy!

ANGEL’S AWARD-WINNING LEMON POPPY SEED BREAD

I love dessert loaves of any kind, so naturally, this would be on the list lol.

MAPLE BUTTER COOKIES

Super simple comfort food! I love any time of cookie with brown sugar.

BRING ME POSITIVITY PECAN FRENCH TOAST BAKE

I love French toast, and I love positivity~

SAMHAIN SOUL CAKES RECIPE

These are really good! And traditional. If you celebrate Samhain, I recommend you make some soul cakes and have friends and family help decorate. I give the littles a bag of orange frosting and let them go crazy lol.

FEEL BETTER CHICKEN SOUP

One of my most recent is my witchy twist on chicken noodle soup!

Red is a gorgeous color, isn’t it? 

Well in magick, it actually has quite powerful meanings that can connected to Aphrodite.

Red correspondence ~ passion, love, courage, strength, beauty, energy, assertiveness, determination.

*Recipe makes a two layer cake*

I am really proud of this red velvet recipe, it’s so good!

Magickal properties of the cake based on its ingredients: self-love, confidence, beauty, passion, courage, strength.

Where do I get my sources?: I have been practicing for 4 years now, so I pretty much can look at an ingredient, and know what it’s magickal properties are, even though before I post, I always fact check things. I have read a lot of books and articles on it. Here are some of my favorites…

𝐈𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬

𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐤𝐞:

½ cup melted butter 2 cups granulated sugar 1 cup buttered flavored shortening 3 cups cake flour  3 tbsp cream cheese 1 tsp baking soda 2 tbsp cocoa powder Pinch of salt 4 large eggs, room temperature and separated 1 tbsp vanilla extract 1 tsp distilled white vinegar A couple drops red food coloring 1 cup buttermilk

𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠:

¾ cup unsalted butter ¾ of a 8 oz brick cream cheese 5 ½ cups powdered sugar 2 tsp vanilla extract

𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬

Preheat you oven to 350 F.

In a large mixing bowl, cream your shortening, melted butter, cream cheese, and sugar together. Beat in your egg yolks. Mix in your vanilla, vinegar, and buttermilk. Now fold in your dry ingredients gently for a light and fluffy cake. 

Beat your egg whites on high speed until they become stiff peaks. Fold into your batter gently until just combined. Add in red food coloring until you reach your desired color, and mix until even.

Light a candle if you wish and fill the batter with your intentions.

Butter and flour two cake tins and pour the batter evenly into both of them. Pop them into the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until you stick a toothpick in the center of the cake, and it comes out clean, making sure not to overcook the cake.

After 1 hour of cooling, remove the cakes from the pans, so they can fully cool correctly.

For the frosting, cream your butter, sugar, and cream cheese on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes. Mix in your vanilla extract and beat for another minute. If the frosting is too thick for your liking, add in a tablespoon of heavy cream or half and half.

Assemble the cake to your liking! Offer a piece to Aphrodite and enjoy!!!
