This is one of my quick posts as I like to call them but I end up writing an epistle. This is another one of my mother’s recipes, and we have this mostly at weekends for breakfast. It is very easy to make but can easily go wrong too. One of the DON’Ts of this recipe is never
Buttermilk Oven Fried Chicken (KFC styled chicken)
Summer is here, yaay! To everyone that have worked on their summer body till date, I say well done to you all and to some of us that have managed not to keep food out of our mouths, I say more power to our elbows. Lol
Plantain Bites
This recipe is for plantain/pancake lovers. I named it Plantain bite as it was an adaptation from the Ghanaian tatale and the jewish latkes.
Nigerian Spinach Stew (Ace Efo Riro)
I recently fell in love with Uziza leaf and our love has kept blossoming in my kitchen. It is early days but I think you can guess by now that I added uziza leaves to this efo riro. Well I did, and I have no regrets. Efo riro is for us the yorubas and as a proud Yoruba gal I am allowed to brag and I can tell you, I know how to cook delicious efo riro.
Sausage Roll
One of the many snacks a Nigerian wouldn't say no to, is sausage roll. It is a tasty snack and very easy to make too. I was at home last weekend and I had plans to make some sausage rolls for a friend but after I baked these little devils, I tasted one and I was hooked. I changed my mind instantly. I know it is bad and selfish of me but lord knows you would do the same.
Afang Soup
What can I say about this beautiful, delicious and hearty soup other than, if you have not had it before, you should try and cook it. It is rich and packed with all the nutrients you need.

Originally, moi moi is cooked in leaves but in the present day, there has been a lot of improvisation.

Coconut Shortbread Cookies
Do you know making your own all buttered shortbread or maybe shortbread cookies can be done in less than 20 minutes plus 30 minutes resting time? It is easy and fun too. I made these shortbread cookies with my little one.
Coconut Candy with Nuts
One of the many treats I looked forward to whilst growing up, was coconut candy without the nuts. I remember going to the stall of this woman and her children who sold the candy in wholesale, I usually go with my friends and we would get discounts and crumbs because we were young high school students.
Stock Fish Okra Soup (Ila Alasepo II)
I recently posted ila alasepo recipe from the blog archives in some facebook food groups and I asked people how they like their own okra soup. Few people responded and what they all had in common was the addition of ugwu and uziza leaves to their okra soup. This last weekend I made some okra soup and yes I hearkened to the suggestion and made some changes
