"Hii rice inaweza" literally translates to "this rice is bomb!" Those were the first words that came out of my mouth when I served this dish. Why go out for some fried rice when you can cook your own gourmet rice for the family. I have made some fried rice recipes on this blog and they all do not have eggs. With fried rice you can add eggs just to add an element of new flavor. It is a personal choice not to include eggs but now the next one has to have eggs to make it like the Japanese fried rice which I love too. I added only 3 spices but you can ump the flavor with chili spices like paprika, cayenne or even chilli pepper. Fried rice is always about the flavor and you can make it your own with different ingredients. From beef, fish, chicken, pork or make it vegetarian with peppers, tofu, broccoli or even cauliflower. 

I don't think I will ever get enough of chicken. The luhya in me will not allow me to do that, hehehe! Apart from being delicious, there are so many ways to prepare that it never gets boring at all. My favourite way to make chicken is baking but lately am loving stir fry marinated chicken. The flavours are just awesome and mastered to perfection. Marinating chicken in spices and sauce will leave you with the best tasting chicken that there will be no leftovers! Your family will love this dish and will be requesting for it almost daily. If not, are they really your family? 🤣😋

Happy New Month Loves! Let's kick of this month with one of my favorite ingredients I use in the kitchen many times. Eggs! I love eggs, if I could I would eat everyday which really is not recommended by nutritionists or dieticians. Every other day is cool though. I have cooked with eggs very many times, whether it is on their own like my tomato scrambled eggs and bacon cilantro scrambled eggs, my ugandan rolex which had fried eggs and used the eggs in pancakes or even baked goods. I just realized I haven't cooked with boiled eggs, coming soon later on this month. Eggs are the most nutritious good since they contain so many essential nutrients like Vitamin A B2 B5 B6 B12 E, Calcium and Zinc. They contain anti oxidants that help prevent mascular degenaration and cataracts. The high protein in eggs helps reduce calorie intake in the day because they are satiating.

I'm literally OCD when it comes to organization. I love things to be neat and organized, just makes my life that much easier, and so light. The kitchen is where we spend most of our time since we have three meals a day, on a good day, it is where we store a lot of the food stuff. Therefore the storage area should be clean and clutter free not only to look organized but also to prevent contamination of food items or rotting of others. Most of us have the opportunity to have a kitchen pantry that you can store food items when you buy in bulk. And that is where pantry organization comes in. I know I said I love organizing but look at this pantry, giving me the chills just walking into it. Call it laziness, procastination or whatever, I need to work on it ASAP! But why do you need to have an organized pantry? Well read on to find out why
