HOW TO MAKE YOUR BLOG POST IMAGES APPEAR ON FACEBOOK

Hello everyone, I hope you all had a lovely weekend and are ready for this week. So guys, today I decided to come on here and talk about posting blog posts on your Facebook page. After I started blogging, they were so many things that I didn’t know how to do and I had to learn along the way. I noticed that every time I would post my blog posts on my Facebook page, the images would not appear and I would delete the post altogether and start over again. This happened so many times until I figured out a way on how to correct it without driving myself crazy. I am going to show you how to make your blog post images appear on Facebook.

KICKING IT SHISH KEBAB STYLE

kicking it shish kebab style

Hello there,

Yes people I am totally kicking it shish kebab style and love the outcome. This week I wanted to experiment a bit more and move away from my cliché meals of pasta and rice. To be honest, this was totally accidental because I wanted to make meatballs but since meatballs go with pasta, I didn’t want to even go there and just before I forget, go here to check out my best pasta sauce. So my direction changed and I ended up with these bad boys. If you would like to introduce something new to your menu, here is how you can make them.

Disclaimer: I am not a professional in making shish kebabs, in fact I didn’t use skewers because I forgot that I didn’t get any on my last shopping trip and lastly, I was really aiming for them to look like Croatian çevapis hence the shape. Now let’s go ahead and show you what you need.

Don’t you just love having clean makeup brushes until you need to clean them all over again then wonder why you torture yourself, it’s all for the love of makeup people. I have tried many ways of cleaning my brushes until I found an easy way. This is how to easily clean your makeup brushes.

MY VISIT TO KENYA HOLIDAY ROUNDUP

my visit to Kenya holiday roundup

Hi guys, spring is starting and am getting excited. On my last month’s update here, I talked about going on holiday and how scary it was for me since I was leaving my son for two weeks and I had never left him ever since I had him and as much as it freaked me out, it was the best decision. I am going to try and make this post as short as possible by probably bombarding you with my holiday photos that I managed to take when I remembered. This is my visit to Kenya holiday roundup.

How did it all come about?

When we were planning to go visit Croatia last year, I thought of how my husband and son would go by themselves and I would visit my parents instead. At first, it sounded crazy and I ignored it for a while until I started thinking about it more and decided I was going to do it and see how it all goes. So a few months later, I started planning my trip.

If you read my 20 random facts about me post, you already know am Kenyan and my whole family is there so my destination was obviously going to be Kenya. I started telling my son when I was going and how long I was going for just for him to be ready, my mother in-law came to visit at the same time so that she would be able to spend more time with her grandson and help take care of him while my husband was at work. I arrived in Nairobi very early and shocked my family in the early hours, it was a very good surprise.

my tasty roasted chicken recipe

Hi there

I hope everyone is having a great start of the week, as for my post today it’s all about chicken. Who doesn’t love a good chicken roast? I know I do.

This is my tasty roasted chicken recipe.

DAIRY FREE ZUCCHINI VANILLA CUPCAKE RECIPE

dairy free zucchini vanilla cupcake recipe

Hi guys,

I hope your week is going on just fine. This week I decided to revisit a recipe I used to make but then kind of neglected it for a while. As I had said before in my other post here, my son is allergic to milk and we thought it would have disappeared once he turned 2 then three and now he is almost four but clearly it’s just chilling on the side lines saying “Am still here” and will not disappear anytime soon. I found this recipe that my son loves from the cook yourself thin book and just in case I forgot to mention, it’s not only dairy free but fat free too. So if you need a low calorie treat, then this recipe is for you. This is a dairy free zucchini vanilla cupcake recipe. (Updated pictures)

MY BEEF PILAU RECIPE

MY BEEF PILAU RECIPE

Hello Everyone,

Pilau is what is on my mind today, I love pilau and always brings back great memories. I try to put it on my menu all the time until my family starts asking for something different then I know it’s time to give it a break. Known for being an Indian or Middle Eastern dish, I got to try my first pilau when I was younger and I’m guessing that was the Kenyan version which I learnt to make and still do the same way I saw back then. I used beef instead of chicken in my pilau but it can also be made into a veggie version. For my beef pilau recipe, you will need;
