Gosh,

It really has been a long time since my last post. How are you all doing?

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. When I used to make roasted chicken, it used to have a mind of its own and either overcook or just turn out wrong but after multiple tries, I finally found my way of making the tastiest chicken and the best part is, the oven does all the work for you. This is my tasty roasted chicken recipe.

A whole chicken

Fresh rosemary
Garlic
1 tablespoons of softened butter
Salt

SIMPLE PORK STIR-FRY RECIPE

February 7, 2017 No Comments

Hello Everyone

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and got to plan for your week ahead. As for me, It was yet another trip to the grocery store and finally got to change my menu, which I normally do after two weeks or switch up some meals once they have become too much for my picky little eater. My son loves noodles and I mean really loves them and so every week, it has to be on the menu and it’s the only meal that never changes.

I usually change the meat we eat it with once in a while but so long as it’s noodles, my little boy is happy. My husband is more of the seafood and no sweet sauces type of man, and when I make my son’s meal, I change few things when finalising the meal to make it a bit different. So today was pork stir-fry which really went well and it’s very simple, so if you need to whip up a fast stir-fry meal, then this recipe is for you. Here is my simple pork stir-fry recipe.

So you have thought about it for a while and you’re now ready to start your own blog. But you want to know where to start and how to go about it. When I started my blog, I failed the first time due to over-thinking things and wanting everything to be perfect. Plus I never gave myself time to really think it through hence starting all-over again the second time which I don’t regret one bit. Here is how to start a blog,simple beginner’s guide.

Choose a niche

Your niche is what your blog will be about, what will you be writing about and do you have enough content about that particular subject. Choose one that you are passionate about and love doing and that way, you will enjoy writing your blog posts without getting fed up fast. Okay once you have your niche;

Choose a blog name

There are very many blogs every where and it all comes to the name. I chose my blog name using my name because I am not planning to change it at all and that’s who I am but if you want to have something more do it and make sure you will still love it 3 years down the line. You should also know that the name you have chosen may already be taken and that’s why this second step has to do with a lot of thinking and re-thinking. Once you have found your blog name, you need to find your self a web host.

CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA RECIPE

December 23, 2016 47 Comments

Hey there,

This week I forgot to specify what kind of meal I was going to cook since my menu only said a rice dish, this is due to my son being a picky eater and loving one thing today and hating it the next day, very normal by the way. So the only meat I had was chicken and decided to make chicken tikka masala. This was sort of me trying out Lorraine Pascale’s recipe minus the spring onions because I had none so I went ahead and just used white onions instead and still had a great result.To make this meal the way I did, you will need,

MY KACHUMBARI RECIPE

November 28, 2016 No Comments

What’s Kachumbari?

Better known as salsa fresca or pico de gallo depending on where you grew up, we call it kachumbari in Kenya.It’s one of those dishes that can go with anything and just makes me happy. Once you combine it with more spices, you can make it to be your own or even add some meat and other ingredients to make a proper salad. Hope you get to love it as much as I do. For my kachumbari recipe, you will need

Ingredients

2 onions (red or white)
A couple of tomatoes
Raw chillies
1 lemon
Pinch of salt and more for the onions
A bunch of coriander

METHOD

Chop your onions into small pieces and put them in a bowl, pour some water to cover them and add in two tablespoons of salt. (This helps in removing the sharp taste of onions) and place them aside.
Slice up the tomatoes and place them in another bowl along with the chillies also chopped into small pieces.
Put a pinch of salt and mix them together.
After about ten minutes pour the onions into a sieve and run some water through them to rinse out the salt.
Put the onions in the bowl with the tomatoes and mix them up, at this point the colours already start making you smile.
Squeeze one lemon and mix it up again, then chop up the coriander and add that in too.
Now from this point, you can be done and place it the fridge to chill out or you can add some more stuff and make it your own.
I usually add some olive oil black pepper or even some grated carrots either way it will be delicious.
