                                                   Pie Dough after mixing

Pie filling 

6 Chicken Thighs
2 Large Carrots(chopped into tiny chunks)
2 Large Potatoes(chopped into tiny chunks)
Season chicken with 1 small white onion, 2 cubes of knorr, 1 tsp of thyme, 1 tsp of curry, 1/4 tsp salt and cook for 20 minutes on low heat allowing the chicken to produce its own juice. Leave to cool down, carefully separate the flesh from the bone, place the chicken on a chopping board and cut into small pieces, set aside. Seamer carrot and potato in hot water for 7 minutes, seive and set aside. Place a pan on the stove and add 3 tbs of sunflower oil allow to heat up and throw in the chopped up chicken, stir fry for 2 minutes just to dry up the juice a little bit, add the carrot and potato, mix 1 tbs of flour in 1/4 cup chicken stock/broth(serves as thickener for the filling) and cook for further 2 minutes, taste for salt before adding more as the chicken broth contains salt and seasoning, set aside to cool down. Make an egg and milk mixture for sealing/glazing the pie with 1 egg and 2 tbs milk. On a clean kitchen top/table, spread flour, grab a ball of dough and roll out to 2 cm thick, use a round cookie cutter to cut out 2 circle shapes, add filling, rub the egg mixture on the edges and place the second circle cut out on top, use a fork to press down the edges to help seal properly, brush the egg mixture on pie, place pies on a lined baking tray and bake in the middle oven Gas mark 5 for about 7 minutes, bring out and brush the egg mixture on pie again, put back in the oven and bake till pie is brown all over, leave to cool down and enjoy. We eat chicken pie as a snack with a glass of milk for the kids and Alpro Soya milk for me, breakfast with hot chocolate/tea/coffee or with soft drinks like Coca cola.

Banana Orange Cake.

This cake was made with love a product of 2020 lockdown. It's being a crazy year so far but I decided I'll stay positive, strong and productive as we wait to see what will come out of year 2020. I'm so happy to share this delicious orange flavour banana cake here. Let me know if you try this recipe, I'm sure you'll love it just like my family and I did x • In making this recipe you have to make sure everything you need is set and ready to go. • Minimal mixing is required to get a good result. • Try NOT to hip the flour in the measuring cup, scooping in the flour into the cup with a spoon and level out the top. • You can use any other oil you prefer but not flavoured oil as this will take away from the take and flavour of the cake after baking. RECIPE. 2+1/2 cups self raising flour.  1/4 cup cornflour.  1 tsp baking powder.  1 tsp baking soda.  1/4 tsp salt. 1 cup caster sugar.  4 very ripe bananas. 3 eggs. 1/2 cup melted butter + 1/2 cup sunflower oil 1 tsp vani...

SHARING A SMILE AT CHRISTMAS

Today marked the 2017 Save the Children Christmas Jumper Day in the UK a charity that raises money to help protect the most vulnerable children around the world. They give them the opportunity to have a healthy start to life, education and protection from harm. I'm glad my children are aware of how hard life can be for some people, they know that not every child around the world has the opportunity to celebrate Christmas with lots of presents, wearing their best cloths and dinning with their loved ones on Christmas day. They wore their Christmas Jumper to school today with their donation for Save The Children UK and they understand the need to be charitable,to share love and kindness to others always especially during this festive season. Last year's Christmas was very emotional for my daughter Kamdi. It was around the time she was having Catechism classes in preparation for First Holy Communion. They were asked to put a smile on a child's face by buying a present f...
