Black Beans and Corn Salad

Happy Monday Everyone!!! Hope you had a great weekend. My weekend was great, I slept in and attended my Aunt and Uncle's 25th wedding anniversary dinner (love is a beautiful thing). Chechiz Kitchen of course was in the house. I was asked to make some dishes for the event, which turned out to be a hit. I made pasta and black beans and corn salad for the dinner. Some people who went may wonder why they didn't see the black beans and corn salad. The reason being that the first set of people who tasted it, took the rest home. This dish is great for vegetarians and vegans because it has no meat or dairy products and is fresh. The dish is very easy to make and it doesn't require much effort. I used can corn and black beans but you can use fresh or frozen. Check out the recipe below!!!

Turkey Fried Rice

I came home from work hungry as a bird. I checked the fridge but there was nothing except the left over white rice that I made the night before. I was happy when I saw the rice but then the bad news was that there was no stew. I was very hungry and wanted something quick to eat. I was looking through the fridge and thinking of what to eat with the white rice and then I saw that I had a little turkey left over and I decided to make something with it. This recipe is for that boring white rice you have in your fridge and also for that moment you need to be creative to prepare a meal. You can make this without the turkey and with fresh white rice. But in this case I just worked with what I he'd. Check out the recipe below and leave a comment!!!!!

Chicken Meat Pie

This  recipe was made in honor of Nigerian Independence, Happy 53th Birthday!!! Nigerian is the land of Suya, the land of garri and soup, the land were they teach you to work hard and play smart. The land were all things are possible as long as you have connections. I salute you!!! I am proud to be a Nigerian. Being Nigerian has made me who I am today, it has taught me a thing or two about culture, dedication and motivation.  Today's recipe is motivated by the beautiful Nigerian culture. I grew up eating this snack and as an adult I still enjoy this beautiful snack. Chicken meat pie will always be one of the best party snack or snack Nigeria invented.Check out this chicken pie recipe and let me know what you think.  I will like to thank my friend Kelechi for helping me in preparing this recipe.

Stew with Goat Meat

I was talking to one of my cousins and he was telling me his journey to making stew. He said all he did was to put maggi and tomatoes and that was it, and at the end of the cooking, it came out not too good. So i told him that i will be making stew and will post the recipe just for him. So today's recipe is for my cousin Kachi. The recipe is very easy especially for people on the go, it does not require a lot of preparation and the blender is your friend. It also good for people who are trying to eat healthy because the recipe doesn't require oil. I always try to find easy and healthy ways to make food. Check out the recipe below and let me know if you agree with me.

Fried Yam and Eggs

Growing up in Nigeria, we used to eat fried yam and eggs for breakfast. It used to be one of my favorites food. Even street vendors sale yam on the street which is always amazing. It has been a while since I had yam, so when hubby came home with yam, I knew I had to revisit my childhood memory of having fried yam with eggs. Although you can make yam in different ways, I have always found frying it to be the easiest. It may not be the healthiest but once you have your eggs on the side, it becomes a balanced diet. But is not something you want to eat on a daily bases. Here is my recipe for my fried yam and eggs, I hope you enjoy it as much we did.

Spaghetti with Sardine

Yesterday, Sept 10, 2013 was hubby(love you) and I three years anniversary since we became official. It also happened to be one of my long days at work but not with standing, it was still our anniversary and I had to make something special. I really had no energy to cook being that I worked through lunch but it was still our special day. So I'm here thinking, what to do? What is the quickest meal to make that doesn't require too much energy and little time? Spaghetti with Sardines was the answer. My week has been so busy that I didn't realize that I was out of some key Ingredients (onions). But you always have to improvise. At the end of the day, the food took about 15 minutes, it was good and  hubby was happy. The best foods are the ones you make without much ingredients. Try this recipe and I promise you that this will always be your go to meal when you are tired and also trying to impress and be fancy.

Moi Moi (oven baked)

On labor day, I went to my in-laws place and was challenged and given the task to make Moi Moi. This came about when I was bragging about the Akara that I made using the "Beans Flour". I bet them that I could make Moi Moi using the same Beans Flour. FYI, I have never made Moi Moi before but I wasn't about to let them know. So of course when in doubt the next best thing to do is to call Mom, she gave me the step by step of how to make it. Lets just say that the Moi Moi came out so good, that I was not able to take any home because it was all gone. They were very proud and I was happy.  This recipe is a lot different from the normal long process of making Moi Moi and is definitely worth a try.  This recipe does not require a lot of man power but rather requires a lot of relaxation.
