KENYAN STIR FRY PORK STRIPS

So many ways to cook pork and I have only just began. Its already the second por recipe this month and I'm already looking for other ways that I can enjoy pork. I had the most amazing pork at a place along Mlolongo Mombasa Road that apparently specializes in all kinds of pork recipes. From pork fry, grilled pork, stewed pork to stewed pork. I guess you can say I'm trying to replicate that dish. I could go and ask the chef about his recipe, trouble is, I'm not sure I remember the place. It was tucked away among many vibandas... I still have to look for it. But honestly this recipe came out of a missing ingredient, tomatoes. I was just going to make a simple pork recipe for lunch that just included frying the pork in onions, tomatoes, adding salt, and that was it! But then it was already lunch and I didn't want to go to the grocers. Luckily I had some veggies  like french beans, carrots and bell peppers, so I decided to make the recipe a blog post, and here we are.

CHILI STIR FRY PRAWNS

Ever made a dish that you always see in restaurants or other cooks making and it seems complicated? For me it has always been seafood. Specifically all other sea foods apart from Tilapia that we cook all the time at home. First ever prawn recipe and I'm so excited. You should see me do a happy dance. The weather has done a complete 360 turn and its getting colder by the day. I wanted something spicy and I happened to have some prawns that were lying around, just taunting me, come on, cook me, cook me pleeeze! I just had to. The best part about cooking prawns is that it takes very few minutes and they're  done. A perfect dish that will impress your family and friends when you come together

BROCCOLI & ONION STUFFED OMELETTE

Growing up I never, I mean loathed broccoli! They just seemed like these tasteless mushy vegetables that did not even smell nice. Now that I love cooking and trying out different combinations, I know better. I love broccoli better. This stuffed omelette is healthy and light, plus the added benefit of lots of veggies, its great for someone who wants to loose weight. The trick to enjoying vegetables is not to over cook them as they will be soggy and tasteless. Adding spices is another way that you can up the flavour of vegetables especially if you plan to eat them without any sides. Breakfast is important so make it healthy and delicious.

CHICKEN AND VEGGIE STIR FRY

First of all I love how rustic this non stick pan looks. I love anything vintage and rustic, from kitchen utensils, decor and even clothing. If I could I would just have a whole room in the house filled with kitchen utensils. My favourite aisle in the supermarket is always the utensils section, I mean, you can never have too many soup bowls or silverware or dutch ovens, right? Anyway, as you probably know I love CHICKEN, theyre probably the most recipes I have on here! I can't resist how good chicken is and how many recipes you can come up with with this humble bird. This dish is vibrant with its mix of bell peppers, veggies that make it perfect for a weeknight meal or quick lunch. 

MANAGU IN COCONUT MILK

I love traditional Kenyan vegetables. Not only are they healthy but delicious too! "Utasahau nyama" (you will even forget meat) that is how good these traditional vegetables are. I cooked mrenda thats locally a preserve of people living in the western parts of Kenya. Its a vegetable that has texture like Okra or Lady fingers that get that sticky slimy feel when cooked. Most people do not like mrenda because of that stickiness but I love it especially when you add milk and eat after several days. Managu has become one of my favourite traditional vegetables because once you cook, you can eat for several days without getting bored. Have you cooked managu before? What is your favourite way to eat managu?  Loved this recipe yet? watch how I made the managu. 

CUMIN MARSALA PORK

Yeeeei! Second PORK recipe! Sips red wine...I love vibrant colors and mixed peppers add that brightness to this dish.

SAUSAGE BREAKFAST POTATOES

I love breakfast that is EXTRA, and this sausage breakfast potato recipe is EXTRA! You don't always have to eat a boring or regular 'ol breakfast, they say eat breakfast like a King, so why not go all out with your morning meal. I have lately grown in love with veggetables especially crunchy ones that are crispy. I must admit growing up I was never really a fun of vegetables, since the memories I have is mushy soft vegetables that were bland. Now knowing how to make them delicious my taste has evolved and I always include them in my daily meals. Cheers to adulting!
