Guacamole is an avocado based sauce. It originated with the Aztecs in Mexico. So, I bought some avocados a while back and one thing I know about avocados is that they tend to all ripen at the same time, so if you have many on hand it’s best you share with a neighbour lest you […]

Friendship, Pork and Banana Cupcakes, oh and smoothies
Two Saturdays ago, As I was on my way home from town I decide to whatsapp my friend Brendah. I asked her to come over we bake banana muffins… well they ended up as cupcakes O-o. While still on the road, my friend Mercy texts to find out if I’m in the house. I tell […]
Baked Meatballs in Tomato and Pepper Sauce
Sometime last week my colleague mentioned meatballs then I realised it had been quite a while since I’d prepared any. One thing with food is that when you start thinking about something you just have to get it. I figured all that I needed was the minced meat which I was sure I’d get from […]

Anyway on Tuesday, I had a brilliant idea of making pizza for dinner. The last time I made pizza I was still leaving with my parents and I have to say for […]
