the joys and woes of placing a meal on the table
Chia seeds are all the rave now. These whole grains are rich in omega 3 fatty acids, fibre, antioxidants, calcium. There neutral taste make them the perfect addition to just about anything. From adding them to drinking water, to Instagram worthy chia puddings to parfaits, sprinkled over your morning cereal or even in baked goodies. […]
These buns will be the end of me, well the my waistline at least. I enjoy baking and cinnamon rolls are those indulgent things that I occasionally make and recently when I found some raspberries on sale I just had to buy them. I know some of us might find baking a bit intimidating but […]
Currently in Nairobi the price of potatoes is unbelievably high making it extra hard for potato lovers to enjoy their guilty pleasure, fries. That said, let me introduce you to sweet potatoes which in my opinion are better than potato fries, well on most days. Sweet potatoes are super nutritious and can easily substitute actual […]
There are those combinations that work so well together and chocolate and orange is one of them. I paired the two to make some fluffy pancakes which disappeared in seconds after they were done.

Happy Wednesday my lovely readers! This past weekend, I had the honour of attending Jasmine Macharia’s book launch. Jaz is a fellow food blogger, who has recently authored a recipe book, Breakfast with the King. The book has 70 breakfast recipes and is also a devotional. How dope?
Happy Pancake Day! What better way to celebrate #ShroveTuesday than to share a crepe cake recipe? These simple cinnamon crepes are layered and filled with strawberries and cream. Yum! Perfect to serve as dessert when entertaining a group of people.
