POTATO AND SALMON FISH CAKES

February 3, 2021 77 Comments

Hello,

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and that it’s going on fine, I always publish my posts on Tuesdays but this week will have to just understand that I couldn’t publish a post-half-written. Now, I am all for having what’s on my menu every week and since I change it every two weeks, I never mind repeating a dish but when you have the same thing for four weeks in a row, it becomes too monotonous and I blame my busy schedule for that. So this past week, I finally got to change my menu and instead of the same old oven baked garlicky salmon, I decided to do something different and make some potato and salmon fish cakes. These are also great if you have a picky eater and need to include some veggies or some meats into your meal. You will need;

KENYAN POTATO BHAJIA RECIPE

January 27, 2021 20 Comments

How are you all doing today? I hope your week is getting on just fine and staying safe as always. Today I have for you one of my favourite childhood recipes and brings back great memories. Not only did I have this when younger but even now I would still have them anytime when the craving decides to check-in. Now I do know there are different versions of this recipe and other names like “viazi karai” but I am sharing what I know and how I remember them. My Kenyan potato bhajia recipe is what I am talking about, flavourful, spicy and so delicious if I say so myself. You can easily order bhajia in many restaurants in Kenya and they will either come with some ketchup or my other favourite, a tamarind dip which just takes them to another level. For my Kenyan potato bhajia recipe you will need;

November 17, 2020 62 Comments

Hey there,

Another week calls for another post and this one you will love, it’s a recipe to die for. This past weekend, I woke up craving pork and better yet it had to be ribs. The fact the weather decided to just go crazy with the wind and rain didn’t really help to brighten my day but I knew that good food would totally do the trick and so ribs it was with a side of coleslaw. After finishing my grocery shopping, I finally came back home and was ready to start the dry rub for my ribs, so before I bore you with my weekend shenanigans, I will just go ahead and share with you my oven-baked dry rubbed bbq pork ribs.

Recipe week 3 (Day 5)

Finally we have come to the end, I would have continued up to day 7 but l decided to stop on day 5 and give it a rest since I still have other posts scheduled unrelated to food and are long overdue. I have really enjoyed posting everyday this week and as much as it wasn’t easy with kids and life in general, I managed. Also I call them recipe weeks for a reason which pushes me to be able to do them. So today I am going to share with you my love for chicken wings, like I really LOVE chicken wings and if I had to choose to have them every time I had any chicken dish then I definitely would. My oven baked honey sriracha chicken wings recipe is what I have for you today, sticky, spicy and just finger licking good. You will need;

Recipe week 3 (Day 4)

Guess who? Yes, it’s me again and the week is almost over. We are on day 4 and I am super proud to have been able to do this. Anyway how are you all doing today? I hope all is ok and you’re all getting on just fine. The heat is apparently starting to check in and today was not that comfortable, I mean I do like warmth but not scorching if you know what I mean. I thought tomorrow would be better but apparently it’s going to be even higher than today, I guess outdoor cooling activities are in order. If you remember a while ago, banana bread was everywhere and I don’t know why but I also jumped on that wagon and made this simple perfect moist banana bread. Hence the recipe for today, you will need;

Recipe week 3 (Day 3)

So as promised I am back with another one, I hope you’ve been enjoying my previous ones so far and just in case you’re new here then stop by day 1 and 2 and check out how this recipe week began. Now I don’t know about you but I was never one to be adventurous with coming up with new meals or trying to change out one to be something totally different, but guess what? I totally have it in me and I am liking it. “What do you do when you have left over burger patties?” Cook up some burgers or change it all up and use the meat to make some delicious cheeseburger quesadillas. I mean the obvious thing would be to just whip up the same thing you had the night before, but giving it a new twist makes it much more satisfying. These cheeseburger quesadillas require;

Hello Everyone,

I hope you’re all doing fine and that your week started off great. Are you already back to normal life? I guess it depends where you are and how the situation is. From the title, you already know that I am back with another recipe week and that means I will be bombarding you with recipes all week to catch up with my Youtube channel. I hope you don’t mind and I will be starting this week off with a simple puff pastry apple tart. Honestly, once I found out about rolled out puff pastry, then everything changed and now I just love using it all the time plus it’s great for quick desserts when you have no time at all.

STOVE TOP TENDER CHICKEN STEW

April 17, 2020 17 Comments

Recipe week (Day 5)

We are almost there, it’s day 5 and another recipe is coming your way. So apparently we are going to be on lock down for another 3 weeks, at this point I don’t even know what to think anymore. I used to complain on how school runs were getting difficult and tiresome but its times like these that I’d totally love to walk for 30 minutes and pick up my son. How are you all coping by the way? Unless I am the only one overreacting and I have no idea. My baby boy turns 2 this weekend and I have already seen what the terrible twos have in store for me that’s why the playground being open would totally be lifesaving or anything that doesn’t involve running around the house screaming. Let’s just jump right into today’s recipe, my stove top tender chicken stew.
