How To Peel Raw Bananas Hustle Free

Peeling raw or green bananas has always been a hustle for me, probably why I haven't been cooking them. Whenever you peel green raw bananas, there is that sticky stuff that gets left behind on your fingers and hands. Plus there is a dark purplelish stain that also sticks to your palms. You need to thoroughly wash your hands after with something rough in order to remove thr stain and stickiness. I have heard of tips like smearing your hands with oil before chopping raw green bananas, soaking the bananas in salty water first before chopping or even covering or wrapping your hands with plastic paperbags and the chopping. Well apart from being such a hustle, paperbags were banned in Kenya so that is scrapped off. The method that I have seen is fast and though it does not scrape off all the stain, at least the stickiness is reduced and you do finish much faster. Another advantage is that you will not be chopping off too much flesh from the green raw bananas. So here is how I peel green raw bananas that I used for my matoke recipe.

Green bell pepper Fried Rice

"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. 

Onion Carrot Chicken Stir Fry

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? 🤣😋

Eggs - Protein Of The Week

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.
