BREAKFAST SAUSAGE

SAUSAGE & VEGGIE ROLEX

1 love a hearty breakfast, and this right here is the perfect definition of hearty and delicious!

GARLIC CUMIN FRIED BEEF

Remember how I told you that we celebrated Mashujaa day with some beans curry and beef? Well this was the beef dish that accompanied all the meals of that day. Unless you are vegan or vegetarian, everybody loves LOVES beef! Or maybe its just me, can it really be. I do love my Nyama Choma so fried beef, what we Kenyans love to call "beef wet fry" or "dry fry beef" is closer to Nyama Choma! This beef dish is one of those that you will be enjoying with your family on a regular basis. It is that delicious, I can guarantee you that!

GREEN BULLET PEPPERS - PEPPERS OF THE WEEK

I love spices and as much as I love dried spices, nothing beats the fresh ones that have wholesome nutrients and benefits. There are so many varieties of peppers that sometimes its hard to kerp up with the names or even types. Peppers come in the sweet and hot kinds, some you can eat raw and include in salads but today's variety has a different story all together. Green Bullet Peppers are usually a hot peppers variety that is too hot to eat raw. 

BLUEBERRY LEMON MUFFINS

Blueberries are those fruits thata are usually in season at different times of the year so whenever they come around I am always looking for ways to make use of them. If I am not eating them then I am cooking with them. Today I tried baking Blueberry lemon muffins. I love the purple color that oozes into the muffins as the blueberries burst as they bake. These muffins turned out fluffy and light, totally perfect!

SPICY & CREAMY RED BEANS CURRY

Happy MASHUJAA DAY KENYA! (HEROES DAY) Today is a Holiday to celebrate our heroes that fought for our self rule and independence. I know, beans is not exactly a celebratory dish, or is it? But this bean curry is what you just need to eat with some yummy chapati! We surprised dad for his birthday too. His birthday in on 23rd that is this coming Wednesday but since we were all available we thought why not have his birthday today. These beans were accompanied by some Chapati, cabbage stir fry, Beef Stew, and plain Rice. Like I said, these were no ordinary beans., no sir! You can add spice for some heat but still delicious just as they are.
