Welcome to MugCake Monday! Celebrate Mug Cake Monday with this Lemon Zest Delight, a quick, fluffy lemon mug cake made in minutes. Perfect for citrus lovers craving a light, zesty treat! You have no idea how excited I am to finally start this little tradition. I’ve been making mug cakes here and there for the longest time. I make them when cravings strike. I also make them when I’m too tired to bake a full cake. Sometimes, I make them when I simply want something warm and sweet in under five minutes. But recently, I had a revelation. Why not dedicate an actual day to celebrate this little guilty pleasure of mine? And what better day than Monday?

OMENA FISH - KENYAN FOOD STORY

omena-fish-story-nairobi-kitchen-kenyanmade

Today I bring you a Kenyan traditional food. It has stood the test of time. This dish continues to feed generations across the country: Omena Fish. Omena is a small, silvery fish. It is known scientifically as a silver cyprinid. This fish is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae. I know I might be taking you back to biology class here, but there's no simpler translation. For ease, think of Omena as a small fish that closely resembles sardines. It might be small in size. However, it carries a weight of tradition, flavor, and cultural importance that is anything but small.
