Saturday morning rendevouz

A biuuuutifule saturday morning for me is one filled with love,sharing,laughter and worship. after a good family devotion,I like to have the tv on while making an interesting breakfast,sometimes an african breakfast(Precisel

y Nigerian),other times,something english,french or western for a change.
Today its french toast and caramelized apples drizzled with honey/Syrup. french toast is so easy to make,(Recipe on my blog).One interesting thing about this meal is,it can be served as breakfast or dessert.

Fruit smoothies are great with french toast.They add that burst of energy and nutrients.Blend together your favourite fruits on high speed,its better not to strain it because what you would get is a thin liquid called juice.my combo today was pineapples,apples and pears.really yummy and healthy. Its also great for older babies and toddlers.You should try it. You may also want to read my post on the benefits of apples to encourage you on the need to add apples to your diet. I served breakfast in my recently purchased 'Rachael Ray' dinner set. She's one of my favourite cooks and her kitchenware line is pretty,durable and classy. I hope you try your home made smoothie soon.Bon Apetit!

Cinnamon Plantain fritters

This is my first blog post in 2020, should I say, having an Instagram account has boycotted my blogging? It takes conscious effort to blog when most followers are so active on Instagram and engage directly with posts, but I wont forget my cute blog. Love you forever bloggie, for the times you were great company during all my maternity leave experiences. Its been a lockdown period globally because of Covid-19 and I trust you are all keeping safe. Remember, God is our refuge, our very present help in time of need. This too shall pass. This lockdown came with all sorts of cravings for my family members, starting with me,the head chef,haha. Today's snack was prepared within few minutes. You can name it plantain fritters. I think I have a very old blogpost called plantain puffs which is very similar to what i made today. So just before you throw away your overripe plantain, think about this recipe and make a sweet ...

Puff puff

Puff puff is an all time favorite Nigerian Snack. Different countries have a recipe with some sort of fried dough, the names are just different, some of them taste just like puffpuff so its like a global recipe in my opinion. Funny enough ,in the midst of all my cooking escapades, I never went out of my way to make it myself till this year when some of my friends sent me puffpuff pictures,they know themselves,lol. I looked up different ways of doing it as people have different versions, my conclusion is that you become a pro at doing it each time you try. that's my story,with each attempt,I became better at it. my tip is to be observant with each trial and you'll be a puff puff pro soon. Ingredients 2.5 cups of all purpose flour (US measuring cups) 2 teaspoons of yeast 1/4 cup of sugar 1'5 cups of warm water pinch of salt Put the yeast in water and allow to stand for 10 minutes, add the sugar to the yeast also. in another bowl,mix the flour,pinch of s...

Preserving Green leafy Vegetables by freezing

Today, I am writing about preserving green leafy vegetables. Sometimes, people are unsure if freezing of leaves reduce the freshness when prepared. After experimenting, I suggest that leaves can be frozen till you're ready to cook. I used Ewedu and Spinach for the latest experiment. I cant resist giving you a quick background on Ewedu Leaf before I discuss its preservation. Ewedu leaf ,for those who dont kow it ,is the local name for the Genus Corchorus . Different common names are used in different contexts, with the name "jute" applying to the fibre produced from the plant, 'Mallow-Leaves" for the leaves used as a vegetable. On a lighter note, a friend's 3year old daughter asked for the English name of Ewedu and her mum put it up on facebook,asking for answers. she did get many hilarious answers (you'd understand this better if you are from an ewedu eating background) well, I suggested the english name "we-do"! Corchorus...

My top three natural blood tonic for kids!!!

You must have heard on one of your visits to the doctor,the acronym 'PCV'. PCV is simply the 'packed cell volume'- the percentage or volume of red blood cells (erythrocytes) in the blood! Sometimes the percentage is relatively low in children due to different reasons, it could be due to eating a diet deficient in iron, folic acid and vitamin b12. To avoid anaemia,its important to top up your PCV. How?you may ask, Thankfully,there are natural foods that help to ensure the PCV is at the appropriate level. Because my area of interest is child nutrition and cooking, this blog will not only identify PCV boosters but also give ideas about how to creatively incorporate them into kids meals,especially picky eaters. Without making this blog as complex as a thesis,ill list my top 3 favourite natural foods high in iron. 1)Pumpkin Leaves: Locally known as Ugwu leaves,in igbo language,these leaves are very high in iron and can be used to cure anaemia.it can be prepared as s...
