Don’t say it yet, I know I've just recently blogged about ewa aganyin but I did promise the last time that I would update the recipe as soon as I lay my hands on one of the missing core ingredients. Anyway what’s not to like about ewa aganyin, I call it Nigerian shito (Ghana sauce). Also, allow me to brag about some of my friends, yes I have got some cool ones.
Easy Coconut Rice
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.

Garden egg stew
Happy Monday my lovies, hope you all had a wonderful weekend and how was Father’s day on your side?

Homemade Plantain Chips and Salsa
Weekends, well if you are not at work means relaxation and fun. 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.
