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.

Chicken Liver Sausage Stir Fry Noodles


This is such an easy delicious noodles dish that will soon become a family favourite. I love stir fry noodles since they are infused with lots of flavour especially when you add spices. I had some chicken liver from a whole chicken that we cooked earlier so was trying to find out what I can do with them. I needed a quick lunch so it was a perfect pairing. 

Homemade Cajun Spice Seasoning


Make your own Cajun spice blend in 5 minutes with pantry staples, paprika, garlic, cayenne & herbs. Easy homemade seasoning to spice up chicken, shrimp, and more. One of the things I love most about cooking is how a simple spice blend can turn an ordinary meal into something bold, smoky, and deeply flavorful. That’s exactly what happened to me when I first made this Homemade Cajun Spice Seasoning, a mix I like to keep in a small jar on my shelf, ready to transform any dish into a lightly spiced, aromatic adventure. I was experimenting with different ways to channel some heat and depth into my cooking without relying on store-bought mixes. I knew I didn’t want a bland, one-dimensional “seasoning salt.” I wanted something bright, complex, and flexible enough to go on chicken, fish, rice, even roasted vegetables.
