the joys and woes of placing a meal on the table
Happy New Month! Breakfast has to be my favourite meal of the day and boy do I enjoy making it. Bread is one of those staple breakfast accompaniments in our home and I love serving it differently,whether it’s by applying different spreads from peanut butter to avocado or using it for french toast.
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 […]
Goodness, this post was supposed to go live at 3pm today, yikes!! My internet was acting up plus I had to run to town in the afternoon. Anyway now that I’ve finally gotten the time, here goes. My fellow foodies and bloggers Cici, Wendy and I have started this cooking challenge where one of us […]

The recipe is more or less the same as the one I had posted earlier, the only major variation being I have used veggies instead […]
I’m that kind of person who gets inspiration from just anything. The other day as I was doing some shopping in the supermarket, I saw a packet of oats and there and then I knew I wanted to buy some.
I try to cook chapatis often mainly because hubby loves them. When it comes to chapatis, I’m never a fan of brown ones, I always find the taste a bit off. That changed when my friend Yvie invited us for lunch and she’d made them. Needless to say, hubby and I ate those chapatis like […]
It’s been a while since I made pancakes. I have been a bit swamped with both school and work so these days we mostly have muesli or brawn sandwiches for breakfast. This is a very simple recipe and other than the buttermilk which is a bit foreign the rest of the ingredients are easy to […]
