Chapos for dinner! Part 1

10 / 18 / 114 / 20 / 15

Will take some time to get used to all that rolling. Dinner was a bit late but I was happy with the progress, I’m glad I finally took on the challenge of learning how to make the chapos. Now I just need to get better, which is simply a matter of time, practice and patience.

Banana-raisin cake

10 / 17 / 114 / 20 / 15

Adding raisins is an easy way to freshen up an old cake recipe. If you have a recipe that you make often and you just want to change things up a bit, throw in a handful of raisins. I do reccomend soaking them in something ahead of time, even if it’s not alcohol, I might even steam them a little, just so they’re not so dry.

Sausage stir-fry

10 / 15 / 114 / 25 / 15

Sausages have been a breakfast favourite ever since I was a child. I don’t remember them being served any other way other than plain pan/deep fried. But it doesn’t have to always be that way, after all it’s meat (yes, with lots of other stuff in it but…) and that makes it good for cooking many other ways.

Try this version next time you have them for breakfast.

Ugali and chicken stew

10 / 14 / 114 / 20 / 15

It doesn’t really matter how you cook it, you can never go wrong with chicken. I think everyone should have a couple of chicken recipes down. My favourite way to have it is stewed, so nicely that even the marrow is tasty. When I make my favourite chicken stew not even the bones are left intact. But that’s story for another day,…

Rice with mixed veggies

10 / 13 / 114 / 20 / 15

Not the most exciting dinner on the planet but we’ve all got to eat some veggies! Unfortunately I didn’t think this through, the rice was too dry, I should have done a vegetable recipe with a bit of sauce. But these veggies are still very nice, try them out, just not alone with rice (^_^)

Linguini with yellow and red peppers.

10 / 10 / 114 / 20 / 15

Nice and easy flavourful vegetarian dinner. Also very quick to prepare, just because you don’t have time doesn’t mean you have to give up flavour. Definitely one to keep and do again.

Crepes

10 / 3 / 115 / 9 / 15

Crepes are great for breakfast, filling if you have enough of them. It’s a nice change from the usual bread every once in a while. But they do take a while to make if you have a big family so I would recommend them for a weekend breakfast when you have the time and breakfast is served leisurely.

Chunky omelet V1.5 — Tomatoes & green peppers

Chunky omelet V1.0 — Tomatoes

9 / 26 / 115 / 15 / 15

Omelettes are my favourite food to have for breakfast. Can never go wrong with an omelette, they are tasty on their own but also so easy to flavour and add to. They just lovingly take in all sorts of ingredients and the result is always — wow!

Ugali, goat liver and sukuma

liver, ugali and sukuma

I really like liver. I think it’s one of the tastiest meats around. Goat, sheep, cow — I’m not picky, except for chicken livers, for some reason I just can’t bring myself to eat chicken livers, yet.

Mixed fruit juice

the fruit selection

When you’ve got too many fruits ripening at the same time, one of the best way to make use of them so that you don’t have to throw the out is to turn them into juice! Though that was not the case this time, I just wanted some fresh juice (^_^)
