Hello folks, how is your weekend going? Last Sunday was father’s day and I thought of what to cook apart from our usuals at home. I seldom cook this type of coconut rice but when I do, I always make sure I hit it on the head. When you cook coconut rice, you don’t want to be messing about with spices.
Ramadan Weekly Menu II
Big thanks to everyone that contributed to last week's post and those that sent me emails, thank you for your prayers and God bless you all. Like I promised, here is the continuation of the weekly menu series.
Garden egg stew
Happy Monday my lovies, hope you all had a wonderful weekend and how was Father’s day on your side? The highlight of the weekend for me was in church, the Sunday school topic was about the man being the head of the home and the most interesting part was when a question was asked about owning a joint account with your spouse.
Classic Ogbono Soup
Ogbono (ogbolo/apon) soup is one of my go to soups when I’m running out of time and I need to cook something yet great.

In fact one of my friends used to say the dirtier the better simply meaning that the more skanky the restaurant (Buka) looks, the better the food tastes.
Homemade Plantain Chips and Salsa

It is the time for parties, running errands you couldn’t get to do during the week and most importantly, spending quality time with the family. Plantain chips also known as ipekere is one tasty snack to help relax on a hot/cold afternoon with some chilled drinks.
Burrito...bring Mexico to your table
Have you ever been in a situation where you don’t try new meals because you just don’t understand them? I have never had burrito before until a friend made me one.
