  • 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

  • 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

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

  • Making the Undesirable Desirable

    Have you guys seen the movie Between Us? It is a really good insightful movie (don’t mind the critics). You should watch it, there are many lessons to be learnt from the movie. After watching the movie last night, AF and I started to discuss aspects of the movie and called on our past experiences… Continue Reading

  • How Do You Like It?

    Life is funny sha! Funny how we take things for granted. Masa is one of those Nigerian foods I was never crazy about. I like it, I am or was never crazy about it.  I grew up around it so it was always available. In the eighteen months I spent in Nigeria I don’t remember… Continue Reading
