the joys and woes of placing a meal on the table
Goodness!!! This post has been on my drafts for so long, it’s about time I finalise it. I cooked this a while back so I can’t quite remember the story behind it, sorry. All in all I know I was in the mood for some fish hence the reason I cooked this. I tried a […]
Naming this blog leo tunapika wasn’t by chance. This is a daily question and on Tuesday this week it was no different. We had to attend a meeting in the evening so that meant we’d reach home a bit late. On top of that I just didn’t feel like cooking…yep!! It happens to all of […]

This was the second time I was making this cake and since the first time was a huge success I didn’t think this time would be any different. Boy was I wrong. Honestly, I had debated on whether I should post this seeing that it didn’t come out as expected. All in all I decided […]
I’d missed eating cookies and since I had some chocolate chips and roasted groundnuts on hand I thought why not? Plus hubby being the cheer leader that he is encouraged me 🙂 Ingredients 2 cups baking flour 6 teaspoons of cocoa powder 1 tablespoon of baking powder 1/2 teaspoon of instant coffee powder 1/4 teaspoon […]
I saw this recipe on Laura in the Kitchen and I just had to try it. She made it look very simple and true it was simple well except the turning I’m not good at that 🙁 You just need some slices of bread, eggs and butter/ margarine. I used margarine. First to make a […]
My love for pancakes always drives me to try out new ways to make them even sweeter. Some weeks back on a weekday, I prepared these pancakes, I have to say that was pretty ambitious of me since it was a work day #superwoman (as if). The recipe is just like for the cinnamon pancakes, […]
