• Steamed Moin Moin

    Although I bake my moin moin most of the time, I prefer the steamed one. The steam adds extra moisture to the moin moin that one cannot get with the oven method. I try to create the steam effect in the oven by placing the ramekins in a water bath. I recently purchased a pudding… Continue Reading

  • Cauliflower Fried Rice

    I have tried many ways to lose weight including hiring a personal trainer and several diets but nothing really worked. I had been hearing about the Keto diet for a while now and I honestly didn’t agree with it. I just couldn’t wrap my head round eating so much fat. After my second daughter, I… Continue Reading

  • Egusi Soup with Collard Greens

    My sister just had a baby boy. He is so gorgeous, such a perfect blessing. I tell her that she was just a vessel to bring him into the world, to me. She thinks I am joking. After the birth, the doctor advised her to add more iron to her diet and she was slightly… Continue Reading

  • Danbu Fried Rice

    So I made Danbu-Fried Rice. We had run out of the batch of danbunama I made a few weeks ago. It was such a big hit with everyone that I decided to make some more. My helper had boiled more chicken that I wanted and by the time I realised it was too late. The… Continue Reading

  • Meat Balls…

    So my little dragon has decided she is on Atkins diet. Everything is either “hot” (even if it is stone cold) or “no”. Stew or anything red is poison. Only thing she would open her mouth for is meat, chicken or fish (ole, thief!) and of course her weetabix. I made two versions of these… Continue Reading

  • Apple Crumble with Almond Meal

    Last week as I was having breakfast, I started to read the list of ingredients on my almond milk carton. I was so shocked to find that in a whole litre of milk, there was only 2% of real almonds used. Two percent!!! In fact, shocked was an understatement. I felt like I had been… Continue Reading

  • Coconut Candy

    It is hard to ignore that halloween is round the corner. All the stores are stocking up on pumpkins of various sizes and colour and not to mention the hideous costumes being sold. I tried to find something cute for my toddler to wear but I just couldn’t bring myself to spend money on something I… Continue Reading

  • Millet Cereal with Yoghurt

    I was walking down the grains aisle and I spotted something very familiar. I stopped to check it out and lo and behold it was guinea corn but the Indian variety, of course. It is redder and much smaller than the variety I am used to. We use the milled millet in so many ways and forms… Continue Reading
