A new year always starts off with excitement. It’s a chance to think back on the past and plan for the future. The year 2023 was a challenging year for all of us Nigerians, because it started off with the Naira redesign policy from the Central Bank. I remember how crazy it was around this time last year. We literally had to buy the Naira with Naira. I think 10,000 Naira was sold for 3000 Naira or so. And in the midst of it all, we had to deal with preparations for the general elections. And after the elections, everything was so slow. It was as if nothing was moving and everyone was waiting for the new government to come in before things begin to normalize. Gosh, what a crazy year it was!!! But, Alhamdulillah is all I have to say because even with all the drama that 2023 started with, it was also an amazing year for me because I achieved so much, especially career wise.

This weekend, it is #NigeriaDecides2023 and I’ve chosen to remain indoors until it is all over. This means more cooking, more baking and more experimenting in the kitchen. For the past 4 weeks, I’ve been promising myself chocolate cake, but I’ve been too lazy to keep this promise. Thankfully, my stay-at-home mood has got me bored enough. The recipe to this yummy chocolate cake has been in my phone for 4 months now and am sharing it with you today. Continue reading for ingredients and steps

I made a few changes to the recipe, by deep frying the beef and roasting the tomatoes, tatashe, ginger and garlic. These changes turned this sauce to another level and I have not made tomato sauce any other way, since
I do this for 10 hours, some people do it for as much as 18 hours and I think quantity matters. Those people who do it for nearly 20 hours do it in a huge batch, usually for restaurant purpose.
Whoop Whoop!💃🏽💃🏽 I finally get to share a pancake recipe for people who are allergic to gluten because of Celiac disease. I remember early in my 300 level in Uni, I’d make a large batch of pancakes for myself and my Neigbor who was gluten intolerant. We’d eat the pancakes for dinner and put some in the fridge for that emergency breakfast right before our 8 o’clock lectures. The pancakes were light, so yummy and she would eat as much as she wanted without any guilt, because obviously they didn’t have any gluten in them.
(more…)I have been a fan of the Barilla line of Pasta for 6 years now. But since last year, I have been committed to making healthier food choices for myself. A friend introduced me to a brand that makes whole wheat pasta, called “Napolina” and this brand swept me off my feet.
If you know me well, you’d know that meat pie is the love of my life. I can eat 3 at once_ yes unapologetically. One other reason I love it, is because it is the fastest. There is no need to knead and wait for rise time. It is just straight forward. Here is my recipe for the famous Nigerian meat pie
