Nigerian Buns: My Third Attempt And Best Yet

Hot buns 

These buns are my best so far. I felt so proud of myself after this task. This my daughter that is beginning to ask for mummy's bun every weekend I don't know what to do about it. 
Btw, About the camera and those congratulating me on the "supposed" purchase of a new camera., thanks but this old one doesn't need any replacement yet. It has always been a great camera in the hands of a learner owner. I think I'm learning to use it better now.

Back to buns matter. Last weekend, she woke up and asked for my buns AGAIN. I had to do this in a hurry without any recipe post in the kitchen. I refused to open AyaOba's bun recipe. Just told myself that I am not  a slow learner and refuse to be. I tried to remember the ingredients and steps, after a few minutes,

Moi Moi And Custard

Breakfast Idea 9

Moi Moi with boiled egg

 Moi moi with boiled egg can be made wrapped with leaves, aluminium foil, plastic plates and even santana cellophane bags. Wrapping with leaves is the best and healthiest method so far. This moi moi in the pic was cooked in bags #sorry. For custard or pap (I don't like to call it pap for one reason) making, mix with a little cold water before cooking with boiled water (Expecting to hear someone say "Eya kuku teach us how to boil water"). After cooking with boiling water,

Nigerian Jollof Rice Without Vegetables

A plate of  tasty jollof rice.

Jollof rice is always present at every foodious Nigerian event. It is one meal I never get tired of eating. Even after enjoying mine at home before leaving, I'm still very much interested in the one served at the events' reception. I don't know why but I hate missing the jollof at any event I attend.

Sometimes, I boil the rice with thyme, onion, salt and seasoning before mixing with the already prepared stew.This method varies the taste and aroma. I don't add

How To Make Nigerian Buns: My Second Attempt

Buns in paper napkins to drain excess oil

Last weekend I tried my hands again on buns making using Ayaoba's recipe and here is the result.

My first attempt tasted better than this I don't know why. Am I not supposed to be graduating by now? I hate to be a slow learner. This buns here sunk and fried right inside the pot of oil unlike the other one that floated ontop. It wasn't

Turkey Ham with Sardine Toast

Ham toast with vegetable salad

This was actually for two different people. I arranged tham together for pics. The toast went somewhere, while the salad went to my baby that requested for tomato in her salad. I don't like ham and can't eat tomato salad without dressing.

I think this combination is healthy, except for the margarine and processed meat. But come, watching our weight doesn't mean we avoid
