the joys and woes of placing a meal on the table
You basically put all the fruits you have on hand and make a smoothie. Ingredients: 2 ripe bananas sliced A handful of strawberries, hauled and sliced 3-4 grapes (i had the ones with seeds) 2 tree tomatoes 1/2 mango diced 1 cup vanilla yoghurt Smoothies are best for quick lunches and breakfasts. They are pretty […]
I love me some potatoes. Some random Tuesday last week I decide to cook some potatoes I’d been given by my mother in love. As usual I baked them. It’s funny how they are called roast potatoes anyway as long I don’t deep fry, I’m good. This recipe closely resembles this, only that I was […]
Yep!!! One can apparently put yoghurt in pancakes or so I ‘invented’. I had some leftover plain yoghurt from a previous recipe so I decided to add it into the pancake batter. Have I mentioned that it was to expire in 2 days, yeah, hence the reason I had to use it and I had […]
Since I discovered, the chicken curry recipe, I have modified it to suit different meats. I had some filleted tilapia and I decided to try it out. Ingredients: 1 1/2 fillets of fish – I used tilapia (cut into chunks) 1 cup plain yoghurt 3/4 cup coconut milk 1 onion chopped 2 cloves of garlic […]
Sounds odd but it was tasty. It was one of those days I was clueless on what to cook. I had some beef strips in the freezer and we had this ripe pineapple in the fridge. I decided to make a simple stir fry to go with some leftover rice. Ingredients: 1/4 kg beef, cut […]
I love chicken, so I’m always on the look out for easy chicken recipes. I decided to search online for some curry recipes, boy did I find many. I eventually settled on one that had easy to get ingredients. Armed with a shopping list I was ready to embark on this new journey of curries. […]
This past weekend was hubby’s birthday, so I decided to bake him a surprise birthday cake. Planning a surprise for someone you live with can be a bit difficult. The biggest challenge was where to hide the cake. I recall earlier this year, on the eve of my birthday, hubby had prohibited me from opening the fridge. […]
I was charged with the great task of baking a cake for a friend’s bridal shower. Boy was I nervous, I kept asking myself, will they love it? Will they compare my cake to previous cakes? Oh well, I took the challenge. I decided to make my chocolate banana cake. Since, the cake was for […]
I love when I get home and discover I have leftover rice, because that translates to dinner in under 20 minutes. This happened to me some 2 weeks ago and boy was I happy. I had a feeling I had some sausages in the freezer and lucky me, I spotted the last three. I also […]
A while back my loving mother in law sent my husband with some tree tomatoes/ tamarillos (matunda ya damu) . I had a mango that didn’t seem sweet and since I had some vanilla yoghurt in the fridge I decided to make a smoothie. Well with my excitement of inventing a smoothie I forgot to take […]
