Meat Pie



Meat pie is one of my all time favorite snack. I can eat it at any time of the day but it is a little time consuming to make. But as you know, I always try to find an easier alternative to making my favorite foods. So today, the recipe is an easier way to make and enjoy Meat Pie in less time than the usual process. I know you may wonder if it will taste the same but it is actually better. Also, since I'm still trying to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight, so the meat sauce is a little healthy. I really hope you enjoy this recipe as much as hubby and I did.

Egusi Soup


Egusi soup is by far one of my favorite soup to eat. I make my soup a little different from the usual way but I achieve the same results. My way is usually easy, fast and yummy!!! If you have been following my blog you would know that I am not a fan of palm oil, so I usually find substitutes when a dish requires it. Using tomato sauce gives you the same taste that palm oil will give to your food.  Try this recipe and let me know if you actually notice any difference. This recipe is dedicated to a devoted reader Megan, she actually asked me to post this recipe. Megan this is for you!!!! If any of you have a recipe request please let me know and I will put it up.


Ofada Stew






During my pregnancy I had cravings for Ofada stew, is this peppery stew that is so good but so spicy. my husband spent a lot of money buying this stew because he cant stop a pregnant woman craving. After giving birth I totally forgot about the stew until we attended a family friends Christmas party were she made Ofada stew. After that day I took it upon myself to learn how to make this yummy addicting stew. I did some research and watched some YouTube videos and finally figured out how to make it. My method was a little different from how people made it, some people used palm oil and crayfish. I just used olive oil no crayfish. Other suggested to use chile pepper but I used green bell pepper, at the end of the day, I got the same result and hubby especially approved. If you have read my previous post you will understand why I did the substitute. I'm on the healthy part of trying to go back to my per-pregnancy weight. This stew is not something you eat everyday  because this stew is so good that you can eat a whole pot of white rice without even knowing it. Try it and let me know how it turned out. The process is easy but a little time consuming.  Try it on your day off.
