My last post was all about Valentines and some ideas you could do but today it’s all about my love for chicken wings and these dry rubbed garlic and lemon baked chicken wings will definitely hit your craving spot.

January 4, 2019 73 Comments

Hiya,

It’s been a while since I did a beauty post and with the new year here, It’s time to take care of ourselves and start it right be it health wise or skin-wise.

So anything that will give me healthy clear looking skin I am all for trying and researching about it. If you have skin problems, then here are 5 reasons why your skin is not clear and healthy.

BLACKBEAN VEGETARIAN BURGERS

December 5, 2018 36 Comments

Hello Everyone,

Happy new month everybody, December is here and I am yet to find where my tree is and when to start all the decorating. Meanwhile, my son has decided to stop eating meat and be a vegetarian, so what does that call for? More recipes and cooking involved which is all good since I do love trying out recipes. This past weekend I decided to make some blackbean vegetarian burgers for him to try out and it was a success. He claims not to like beans but he didn’t even notice that he was having them. If you missed my juicy oven baked turkey burgers post and video do check it out here, and do subscribe to my channel. Here is the recipe for them.

November 4, 2018 52 Comments

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are all doing great, in my last post here I shared with you all about organisation, today I am back with another post on 5 organisation and storage products you need to own.

WHERE TO PROMOTE YOUR BLOG POSTS ONCE YOU’VE PUBLISHED THEM

October 9, 2018 45 Comments

So,

I already shared with you how you can promote your blog posts effectively in my previous posts and today I am back to tell you where you can be able to do that in order to get the most traffic to your site. Honestly, when I first started, I wrote my posts, published them and did nothing else, I guess I thought that I would get organic traffic instantly without doing anything which was so naive of me to even think like that, I needed to share my posts and share them in different platforms in order to get the best outcome and increase my blog’s traffic. So today I am here to share with you where to promote your blog posts once you’ve published them.

Hi There,

As a busy mum, I try to figure out what is the quickest and fastest meal I can be able to prepare and still make time for my almost 6 month old and 5 year old. Now, I don’t really make fast meals everyday but there are days when I literally can’t think of anything else to cook without it having too many steps. So when that time comes, my easy vegetable fried rice hits the spot and is ready in minutes compared to my beef pilau recipe or the salmon fish cakes. Also my son really loves it and always eats it with a side of oven baked salmon which will come next on the blog later on. Today, we will be focusing on the fried rice part. So, you will need:
