the joys and woes of placing a meal on the table
Happy New Year! Feels good to be back to blogging, 2015 was pretty slow here but this year is gonna be awesome. In late November last year, my daughter turned 6 months and finally I could start introducing other foods. I had purposed to exclusively breast feed her for 6 months. It wasn’t easy especially […]
Heard of the hush hush invite only event happening in Nairobi on 5th December? Well, here I am with the low down.
I have been meaning to add this new segment for a while now. Basically, I feature recipes that I have tried from my fellow food bloggers. About two weeks ago, I was tagged on this tweet by Pendo la mama asking feedback about a burger she had made. And what better way to give my […]
