I make bread and porridge and all the other good stuff for breakfast but I really like potatoes. I like that they last longer in the belly, if I eat at 7 I’m not hungry by 10 — I’ll still take that snack though!
Finally, my first recipe post of the year! Thank you for patiently waiting (^_^) As you can see I’ve been busy getting the ball rolling on other things. How do Y’all like the new look of the website? I would love your feedback. For now, let’s get on with how to make these yummy looking potatoes…
These were not easy to select, I was very picky about what I posted this year. I’ve been deliberate on making sure each post was worth your time and tastebuds! If you’ve been looking through the site and wondering what to make first, this post is for you, definitely start here.
The goodness of fried potatoes/french fries/chips without the frying!
Just letting you know now, if you taste one before serving you might eat your portion of potatoes before they reach the table. They are delicious!
Everyone that has cooked with butter knows exactly what butter can do the taste. If you eat out a lot you have definitely tasted something that was smothered with butter. Once you try it in your kitchen though it becomes something you have to resist, or at least I have to. If I didn’t have to control my butter intake I’d probably put it in everything!! So when I use it, it’s a treat…
Here’s something to start your new year, tasty, savoury home fries. Janice made something like this for me when I visited her a couple of months ago. It was delicious. Tried to replicate it, I think I got pretty close, check it out…
Sometimes making a meal is a bit like painting… or at least I think about it like I’m painting. When I think a recipe I imagine the colours served on a plate and are they working? Making this potato salad was very much like that.
You can never go wrong with these time saving one pot dinners! Even better is experimenting with your kids ideas, especially when they turn out so great!
Been making an effort to serve whole meals, with all three parts, veggies, starch and protein. But potatoes with cauliflower on the side did not sound appetising. Too much white on the plate. So I mixed things up a bit…
There are some things I have made in the past that I just haven’t been able to recreate, something we all experience. But I’m so glad I started this blog because now I record everything. But the things I did before the blog will clearly take some time to recreate…
Hello! Yes, I am still cooking,… well, not much lately but here and there. I think celebrating that blogiversary put me in a relaxed mode. It’s a major milestone for me. Didn’t know exactly how this would turn out when I started. It’s been a lot of fun.
Not only was this fun to do, it turned out great! Try it out with your own combination of herbs and spices and see how it turns out. Definitely one for repeating.
This started out really awkward but ended well. I know it looks funny, especially the mash, the photo just doesn’t do it justice,…
Served this with a squeeze of lemon, supper delicious! Try it out…
So, it’s githeri but not quite! And it is delish!
Looking for something that packs a punch flavour goodness to put in your chicken, or anything else for that matter? Try tamarind!
The herb garden battle forges on! Thank fully I still have plenty I can use.
My friends and I planned a last minute get together on friday to celebrate two birthdays on a saturday night. To make it easier on the host everyone brought a dish. This was mine.
Ever wondered how to get the ‘yummy’ into your baked chicken without having to marinate overnight? Well here is one answer…
And here is how you finish it up. If you haven’t seen part 1, start there first.
This dish requires a lot of preparation and it is worth the effort. So if you have some time give it a go…
Have you ever mixed in different roots for your potato salad? Try it, it’s very nice, especially with sweet poatatoes.
I know, I know! In that photo it look like a hodgepodge of so many things, but I assure you it’s very tasty.
When you find a recipe that looks good but not all the ingredients are available in your market there’s no need to write it off, look for creative ways to make it with what you can find…
I was feeling a little creative, I have no idea where I pulled this from but it has to be made again. Very tasty!
The oven is your friend. It can take over dinner while you rest.
Matoke does not have to be boring and it it doesn’t have to be cooked alone, it plays very nice with a few roots mixed in. Try this mix and add some flavour to your matoke night days.
Check out what I did with the mint and garlic marinade I made a few days ago…
