What comes to mind when you hear “Breakfast on the go” for me, it’s either sandwiches, a cereal bar, or maybe a smoothie. For a long time, I used to call anything made from oats an oat bar, it doesn’t matter to me, if it has oats it’s just an oat bar to me. Then I heard about flap jacks which I call granola bars now and I think will I stick to that because it just doesn’t matter. So today I have for you this recipe on how to make traditional flapjacks. For the ingredients you will need;

If you’ve been following my blog for a while now, then you know I am Kenyan and I love sharing my Kenyan recipes with you and most of you seem to like them.

 Happy new month everyone. I hope you’re all doing great. I needed something to have for dessert this week and I decided on some brownies. I’m sure no one hates them unless there’s an allergy involved or you just despise chocolate in general. Today I have a delicious chewy brownie recipe for you and I must say, chewy is an understatement because these turn out so good and makes you not stop at one. So if you know you might stop your diet, then I suggest you don’t make them at all. I wouldn’t want to be the one “sabotaging” your diet but honestly, I want to and insist that you try them first.

If you’ve been following my blog for a while now and have seen my recipes, then you already know that I tend to have more chicken recipes than other meats. That’s just because I love chicken and my most favourite will definitely have to be chicken wings. There is just something about eating chicken wings that make me super happy, I can have them plainly roasted, dry-rubbed, sticky, spicy and my recent obsession which are my garlic parmesan chicken wings. They are easy and baked to perfection and finally tossed in some parmesan cheese.Â
My son also loves chicken wings and as much as he used to make me have to debone them for him, he has now appreciated the satisfaction of eating it on the bone and asks for chicken wings every chance he can get. This recipe is super simple and the outcome doesn’t disappoint, with some small prepping time and the oven at your service, then you will love this recipe. You will need;
Am I the only one who thinks puff pastry is God sent? I honestly don’t even know how I never used it before but thankfully all that has changed. Once I discovered store-bought puff pastry, there is no holding me back, I think my family is fed up with all the sausage rolls they keep finding me making but no complaint has been filed yet. Talking about puff pastry, how do some puff pastry creamy chicken and vegetable hand pies sound? Well, you don’t even have to answer that because I have the perfect recipe for you. Perfect for lunch, dinner, picnics, snacks you name it. They are delicious and with the help of some store-bought puff pastry, half of the work is done for you. For this recipe you will need;
If you’re a breakfast person and are looking for a go-to filling breakfast, then these healthy oatmeal pancakes are the ones for you. How are you all doing by the way? I hope all is well and are still staying safe, today I am back with a breakfast recipe for you. I first made them when I told myself I was on a diet for like the millionth time and needed breakfast to keep me going for longer and handle my hunger during workouts.
The best part about these is that they are fun to make and if you have little ones who can help you, then they will love these. Not your typical shape since as much as you try to form a perfect circle, they go their own direction and as my mum said “butterfly pancakes” but the taste is worth it. Also once you make the mixture, you will think that it’s either too runny but don’t worry they turn out great. For this recipe, you will need;
I hope you are all doing great and having a great week so far, another week calls for another recipe and let me just tell you this one is a keeper. A delicious oven-baked honey soy chicken recipe is what I have for you today, now I just have to confess that I have tried similar chicken recipes before but always ended up with blackened meat and not well cooked inside. After many trial and errors, I found the right way to cook these and they turned out perfect. I did end up marinating my chicken for 3 hours but I do know there are times when you just don’t have all that time, so I would suggest a minimum of 30 minutes when it comes to marinating and it will still hold on to the flavours and turn out great. All you’ll need;
Gosh, this week seems to be flying pretty quick. I hope you’re all having a good one and managing to accomplish all you wanted to do. Since It’s Wednesday, I always publish a recipe post and today, these sweet fluffy homemade dinner rolls are definitely the ones to try. Honestly, these are my favourite dinner rolls I have ever made and never fail me, and so long as you use the same cup to measure everything, then you will have no failures. Plus they are very good to freeze for up to a month and you just thaw and heat in the microwave or oven. This recipe is one I got from my sister and I think it’s the only one I wrote down because I didn’t want to forget any detail. They smell amazing while baking and even better when eaten warm or room temperature. For the recipe you will need:
