GREEN GRAMS - GRAINS OF THE WEEK

I love green grams, what we call "ndengu" in Kenya, and mostly eaten with Chapati or rice

SESAME OIL - OIL SEASONING OF THE WEEK

Sesame oil is fragrant with a nutty flavour, best used to make Asian stir fries

LEMON HERB RUB

Making your own herb rub is the best feeling in the world! I mean, apart from having your own quantity you have the herb rub fresh. Plus the added advantage of smelling the sweet aroma as the spices meld together while blending. So far my best homemade rub I have made so far.

PARSLEY - HERB OF THE WEEK

Herbs enhance the flavor of food, make it aromatic and give it that lovely delicious bite.

GARLIC HERB RUB

This dry herb rub is the best thing to happen to my meat dishes. Herb rubs usually combine dried herbs, spice and even sweet elements like brown sugar. In this garlic herb rub I used garlic powder but you can mince the garlic and mix into the other herbs. 

FISH SAUCE - SAUCE SEASONING OF THE WEEK

The best seasoning for Asian cooking.

FLAX SEEDS - SEEDS OF THE WEEK

Flax seeds are not only a crunchy element to add to your smoothies or salads, they have amazing health benefits and highly nutritious. High in omega 3 fats flax seeds are also rich in dietry fibre which promotes regular bowel movement therefore improving the digestive system. As a super food flax seeds are a good source of protein and can be an alternative protein for those who dont eat meat. Flax seeds keep hunger at bay which may aid in weight control by controlling your appetite. When eating flax seeds opt for ground flax seeds since they are easier to digest. Your intestines cannot break down the outer shells of the flax seeds.
