Did you know that coleslaw is from the Dutch word koolsla which literally means "cabbage salad". We simply just call it slaw, a common salad that consists of, no surprise there, finely shredded cabbage. Dressing for the slaw can either be mayonnaise, vinaigrette or even sour cream. Toppings for coleslaw come in many options like onions, Bacon, carrot, pineapple, bell peppers and even herbs. Coleslaw is eaten as a side dish that accompanies barbecued meats, French fries, fried chicken and sometimes even potato salad. You can even add coleslaw to hamburgers, top on sandwiches or layer in chili. And if you don't have cabbage you can always substitute with broccoli to make broccoli slaw! I had made pineapple coleslaw last year so today I chose to use purple cabbage instead, it gives the slaw a vibrant color and intense flavour. Purple or white cabbage, which is your favorite slaw?
How y'all doing as 2018 nears the end of its moments? I'm happy though. It shows progress and growth. So this was one of the three courses for the Nairobi Kitchen Anniversary Giveaway competition. I love pasta, add chicken and you have a fast simple one pot meal that is delicious. The best part about one pot meals is that you will have less hassle when cleaning up and you put everything together and they cook as you wait to just serve. Fun fact: It is estimated that Italians eat over 60 pounds (27 kg) of
pasta per person, per year, easily beating Americans, who eat about 20 pounds
(9.1 kg) per person. Pasta is so beloved in Italy that individual consumption
exceeds the average production of wheat of the country; thus Italy frequently
imports wheat for pasta making. Pasta is not only delicious but nutritious as well since it has a lower glycemic index than many other staple
foods in Western culture, like bread, potatoes, and rice. More reason to eat pasta everyday, if you can, that is. Enjoy today's chicken pasta dish and I hope you will enjoy it!
I've never made fish fingers before and I really do not know why I never did, but am glad I made them. Totally delicious and warm and such spicy. Its the second last day of 2018! It just hit me and am here anticipating the coming year yet I already miss this year that is coming to a close. It's been a bit of a roller coaster with both the good and the bad, yet I cannot regret it. Well, back to fish fingers. I love how simple and fast this recipe is. Fish is not only delicious but full of nutrients like omega fats that are great for your body and health. You can choose to make the fish fingers spicy or just add herbs to have that earthy taste.

"It's only a few days until Christmas and I'm already getting anxious over how time has been flying by. Hey, what are you doing for Christmas? Are there some of your favorite traditions you have as a family? Let me know in the comments below. Today's recipe is a quick starter dish that you can whip up in less than 10 minutes and with only one main ingredient, potatoes! " It's already past Christmas, I know! Well, small confession about this post, it was supposed to go up on 12th December but we had an unfortunate family tragedy. We lost a cousin so everything just went so fast with planning a funeral, then travelling up country for the funeral. Got back yesterday and just stumbled upon this draft. Its been a bitter sweet Christmas holiday but things will hopefully get back to normal.
