Discover 3 creative poppy seed recipes perfect for every meal, from a zesty lemon poppy seed breakfast muffin to a crunchy poppy seed salad dressing, and a savory poppy seed chicken entrée. Delicious, nutritious, and easy to make! Poppy seeds are tiny, round, blue-gray or black seeds harvested from the opium poppy plant. Though small in size, they carry a subtle nutty flavor. They also offer a gentle crunch. These qualities can dramatically enhance both sweet and savory dishes. Traditionally, they have found a place in baked goods, breads, and pastries, particularly in Eastern European and Middle Eastern cuisines. However, in modern kitchens, poppy seeds are being creatively used in newer, healthier dishes.

I was craving cake but I don't have an oven, dilemma dilemma. Then I remembered I don't really need an oven if I want to bake. After the mug cake revolution, it was time to stop being conventional and start thinking outside the box. After all, our ancestors used to bake bread before these modern day ovens came to be. So I decided to make a stove top cake. What we call in Kenya "Mawe tatu cake" literally 3 stones cake. I have every step in the photos so you will be able to follow how I did it. Cake basics remain the same, only the baking part changes. I'm so happy how the cake turned out, not only was it moist and crumbly, it was delicious as heck! Now there really is no excuse when it comes to baking! Hope you enjoy this recipe and try out this "Mawe tatu" technique.

Add a burst of flavor with this Poppy Seeds Salad Dressing, sweet, tangy, and creamy with a delightful crunch. Perfect for drizzling over leafy greens, fruit salads, or grain bowls. Lately, I have found myself developing quite a fascination with salad dressings. They have this remarkable ability to transform a simple bowl of greens into a vibrant and satisfying meal. I once thought of salads as a side dish or a light snack. Now, I am thrilled to discover how dressings shift my perspective. They inspire a deeper appreciation for fresh, wholesome ingredients. They have honestly put me in the mood to eat more salads, and I must say, go me!
