Guacamole
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 […]

I have previously been very skeptical about making stewed or curried fish but that has changed. The need to try new fish recipes other than the usual pan frying changed my perception. Ingredients: 1 medium onion sliced 2 cloves of garlic sliced 1 teaspoon minced ginger 2 tomatoes diced 1 courgette diced 1 bell pepper […]
Beans Stew
Since I got married I’ve been meaning to buy some beans but i have never gotten around to doing so. Lucky for me,mom in love must have sensed my need because she sent some over and boy were they a lot. Since they were raw, I needed to boil them first. I saw it as […]
