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 vanilla

Freshly Cooked Sea Food Okra Soup

I made this very delicious fresh Okra soup with Salmon fish, prawns, pack of mixed sea food, fresh spinach, okra, sweet long pepper, a tablespoon of red oil, crayfish, scotch bonnet, knorr seasoning cube and salt to taste. This was quick and easy to cook because I prepped everything the day before, packed them in small containers and stored in the fridge. My kids love to eat our native foods, pounded yam and Egusi soup/ Okra soup is their all time favourite. I love the fact that they are enjoying good food instead of asking for chips and nuggets all the time. I actually achieved cutting out fast food cravings by cooking different meals and stocking the fridge which helped me serve them varieties and then fast food became a treat for them during most weekends if they remember to ask...goals. You can have a bowl of this freshness alone or pair with pounded yam (poundo) garri, oatmeal, agidi, cornmeal, boiled yam or white rice.
 EASY PUFF PASTRY RECIPE This recipe came about after I tried the usual folding method and found it tedious. I needed something quick, easy and less stressful. All you need is 4 ingredients to make a flaky delicious puff pastry for sausage rolls or pies. The most important tip is to make sure your ingredients are very cold, it helps a lot with this method.                                                                     INGREDIENTS. 250g Unsalted Butter (cut butter into small chunks, spread out on a lined baking tray and freeze overnight) 2 1/2 Cups Plain flour Pinch of salt 1/2 cup chilled milk 1 egg                                                             INSTRUCTIONS 1.
