This was inspired by a post I saw on another food blog. Some good local food blogs coming up (^_^)

Fried matoke, garlic in kachumbari + more

What do you do with your matoke when you forget about it and it’s start ripening? Well, I fried and baked mine, see how it turned out…

Chicken in lemon and honey marinade

Buttered toast with carrot and onion omelet

Chilli and cheese omelet

6 / 7 / 126 / 19 / 15

Risotto from leftovers

5 / 25 / 126 / 19 / 15

Risotto is usually rice cooked in a stock with several ingredients. Every time I do something like that I tend to burn though, so i think this is a great workaround…

Tilapia Strips, chips and a dip

5 / 24 / 126 / 19 / 15

When I eat chips in restaurants (out of a personal choice) I ask for mushroom sauce or guacamole to use in place of ketchup or tomato sauce. When they don’t have either, I have them plain, which is also what happens at home. I made this dip for the fish but it was nice on the chips too…

5 / 14 / 126 / 19 / 15

I know someone that eats chapati with her meals everyday, wow! If you’re thinking it can get boring and take the excitement out of enjoying the occasional chapati, then you are wrong. Chapatis are very versatile, here’s a couple of ways to enjoy them.

4 / 26 / 126 / 10 / 15

What do you do when it’s 8pm, you’ve just walked in the house and hubby is so hungry he can’t wait 2 hours for you to make a fresh meal? Hopefully, you’ll have some leftovers you can just refresh (^_^)

4 / 12 / 126 / 10 / 15

Cake, fruit and ice-cream: the all in one dessert!

3 / 30 / 126 / 4 / 15

I wanted to make this several weeks ago, but I kept forgetting to get a pineapple for it. When I did remember to get one there weren’t any good ones, or they were over priced! The pineapple I bought for 70/- last year is 120/- in the market today. Just wrong!

Moving on swiftly,…
