My Breakfast Inspiration

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for me. It is very important to break that overnight fast by fueling your body well and creating that energy your body needs to run throughout the day. No matter how light or small the meal is it is important for your brain function and general well being. I personally do not function well if I haven't had breakfast, it triggers headaches and after a while my body starts to shake. Here are some of the foods I enjoy having in the morning, it keeps me full for longer and helps me avoid unnecessary snacking especially when I have only sweet treats around me. Feed your eyes and try them out. Enjoy!

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...

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.
