Leftover rice? Well I have the perfect recipe for you. Easy to make, perfect for a quick dinner/ lunch. I had some pineapple on hand, the utterly delicious ones from Uganda, so I added them for that sweet kick.

Mad About Githeri
Anyone who knows me well, knows that I absolutely love githeri. I can’t exactly pinpoint the actual reason why but this meal makes me happy. Turns out I am not alone in this, Kaluhi of Kaluhi’s Kitchen also loves githeri. Particularly when I was pregnant I enjoyed frying up some githeri. Since I never used […]
What’s your BlueBand Story? #GrowGreatKids
“Step by step, day by day , growing stronger along the way, BlueBand gives you the energy to grow…” If you grew up in the 90’s you definitely sang along to that tune. My fondest memory of using Blueband was this ‘strange’ combination we used to make with my ‘big’ small brother (If you see […]
Cinnamon and Grape Muffins
It’s grape season, well those grapes with tiny seeds that you see being hawked in the streets of Nairobi. Sometime back as I thought of something to make for breakfast, I realised I had some grapes leftover and decided to try using them. I loved the result and figured I should share the recipe with you […]
Fried Plantain

Groundnut Sauce

Cumin and Rosemary Chicken
Finally I put a post. I am so excited. I have been gone for quite a while and with good reason. For starters, we got a new addition to the Leo tunapika? household. My hubby and I were blessed with a beautiful baby girl who has been keeping us busy. Secondly, we sorta moved to […]
Homemade Brown Bread
I love reading feedback from my readers and once in a while I also get requests for things you would love to see me make. One such request was from Ciiku who sent me this via my page. “Hi, I love your blog. I’m tired of supermarket/local brown breads and would like to start making […]
Spicy Oven Fried Chicken
I love coated chicken okay I love anything chicken. These past few months I have been a frequent (once a month) buyer of KFC, imagine and the way their chicken is so greasy. In my hopes of trying to be a bit healthy I decided to make my own version of fried chicken without the […]
