Garlic Cumin Fried Beef

Remember how I told you that we celebrated Mashujaa day with some beans curry and beef? Well this was the beef dish that accompanied all the meals of that day. Unless you are vegan or vegetarian, everybody loves LOVES beef! Or maybe its just me, can it really be. I do love my Nyama Choma so fried beef, what we Kenyans love to call "beef wet fry" or "dry fry beef" is closer to Nyama Choma! This beef dish is one of those that you will be enjoying with your family on a regular basis. It is that delicious, I can guarantee you that!

Soy Sauce - Sauce Seasoning Of The Week

When it comes to versatile kitchen staples, soy sauce is one of the most powerful yet understated condiments sitting in your pantry. A dark, salty liquid with a rich umami depth, soy sauce has been a cornerstone of Asian cuisines for centuries, yet its uses extend far beyond stir-fries or sushi dipping. With just a splash, you can completely transform a dish, turning something bland into bold, savory, and memorable. This week, let’s celebrate soy sauce as our “Sauce Seasoning of the Week” and explore the many creative ways you can use it in your everyday cooking. Soy sauce is more than just a salty condiment. It has layers of flavor: salty, slightly sweet, earthy, and packed with umami, that “fifth taste” that makes food deeply satisfying. Due to its complexity, soy sauce can serve as a flavor enhancer in dishes far beyond its traditional Asian context.

Green Bullet Peppers - Peppers Of The Week

I love spices and as much as I love dried spices, nothing beats the fresh ones that have wholesome nutrients and benefits. There are so many varieties of peppers that sometimes its hard to kerp up with the names or even types. Peppers come in the sweet and hot kinds, some you can eat raw and include in salads but today's variety has a different story all together. Green Bullet Peppers are usually a hot peppers variety that is too hot to eat raw. 

Blueberry Lemon Muffins

Blueberries are those fruits thata are usually in season at different times of the year so whenever they come around I am always looking for ways to make use of them. If I am not eating them then I am cooking with them. Today I tried baking Blueberry lemon muffins. I love the purple color that oozes into the muffins as the blueberries burst as they bake. These muffins turned out fluffy and light, totally perfect!

Spicy & Creamy Red Beans Curry

Happy MASHUJAA DAY KENYA! (HEROES DAY) Today is a Holiday to celebrate our heroes that fought for our self rule and independence. I know, beans is not exactly a celebratory dish, or is it? But this bean curry is what you just need to eat with some yummy chapati! We surprised dad for his birthday too. His birthday in on 23rd that is this coming Wednesday but since we were all available we thought why not have his birthday today. These beans were accompanied by some Chapati, cabbage stir fry, Beef Stew, and plain Rice. Like I said, these were no ordinary beans., no sir! You can add spice for some heat but still delicious just as they are.

NO BAKE Strawberry Cheesecake

No bake recipes are the best! Especially when you don't feel like opening the oven during the hot summer days. Or when you do not have electricity, that so happens in our Town sometimes. This no bake strawberry is my second no bake cheesecake. You can check out my Avocado Cheesecake that was so delicious it did not even last 2 days! 

Kenyan Kachumbari

No weekend is ever complete without Nyama Choma! It's always the weekend plan, you know "parte after parte after parte" 😉, Kenyans know what this means. And with Nyama Choma comes Kachumbari (tomato onion salad). There are several variations of Kachumbari and you can always add more ingredients or leave it as the classic Kenyan salad

Chunky Veggie & Chicken Stir Fry

Chunky vegetables are great because they are crunchy and crisp on the edges especially when stir frying. This chicken dish is so simple to make you will be making it on the regular! I had pre marinated the chicken so that it can even add more flavour and taste. I think I am officially a chicken addict. I have so many chicken recipes and still have more to try out! Hope you enjoy this dish and do not forget to comment about your favourite chicken dish below.

Paprika Cumin Kenyan Chips Masala

I love! Love! Love! Chips Masala, which is my other favourite dish that brings me awesome childhood memories. We had several kiosks in our neighbourhood where you could get what we called "chips mwitu" (not restaurant chips) these fries were very delicious and sold for as little as Ksh. 10 ($1) per packet. By the time you are done eating you'd have spent up to Ksh. 100 ($10) because they are just too addictive! There are very few restaurants that I trust to cook the best chips masala/masala chips. I love my homemade version because you can add whatever spices you want! I love spicy food so this recipe is quite spicy, which I love, you can have more or less spice as you want.
