Sweet and Irish Potato smoked chicken veggie stew.

Yes the name of the dish sounds so long. I once cooked on a TV show where they tried to give it an acronym. SIPSCVS.

Its a signature dish I put together. the ingredients are there because each of them play a great role in supporting brain and eye development in children which inadvertently improves learning and retention in the classroom. yes! (smiles).

Sweet potatoes are very rich in vitamin A, antioxidants, potassium, vitamin C and E. All these support eye health, prevent degenerative damage among other interesting benefits. I will blog on the ingredients another day. For ow, lets focus on the dish.

The smoked chicken gives it a classic taste that is unbeatable. this dish has helped many children pick up weight gain and better appetite and i am now happy to share the recipe.

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 treat. Now there's a very traditional rec

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 salt tog

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 ha
