Hello People, Today's recipe is for the special "bundles" in our lives, I mean babies. Babies are so sweet, lovable, tender, beautiful, cute... *add your own adjective(s). It is recommended at birth, that you exclusively breastfeed your new born for the first six (6) months of life as this is of great benefit to both child and mother, especially to the baby as it protects against illnesses and builds their immune system. Not every mother can go all the way, some supplement breastfeeding with formula (baby milk such as SMA, NAN etc) while others breast feed exclusively for the first six (6) months. Whichever method you choose, at the end of six (6) months you will be faced with "introduction of solid foods" to your baby. At the 6 month mark, some first foods to try are creamy avocados, apple sauce, sweet potato puree, bananas and the like. Many mums (especially new ones) run out of ideas on what to give to their babies so they resort to buying canned baby food...

Hello People, Hope y'all are doing great. This post shows how I make my Banga Soup. Banga soup is a popular soup of  the people of Delta State, Nigeria particularly people from the Urhobo tribe. It is made from boiled Palm Kernel nuts, which are then beat in a mortar in order to extract the palm juice. Married to an Urhobo man, I had to familiarize myself with their dishes, and learn how to make them too. My hubs was sweet enough to teach me how to make it, and yes he beat the palm kernel nuts by himself that day, it was a funny site *hahahahaha, I was so surprised he could do it. Funny enough, when I finally made the Banga Soup, my sister in-law came home, ate it and was like, "who thought you?", when I said it was my hubs, she couldn't believe cos growing up, he disliked kitchen duties. She gave me some "banga soup tips" that I have added to my cooking over time. Ofe Akwu (ibo banga stew) is similar in preparation to Banga (Urhobo Amie...

Hello People, Been a minute. Hope you all are doing great. For me, I'm awesome and busy with a lot of stuff hence my absence *covers face. Today's recipe is pretty simple and easy to make. I was inspired to make this salad after watching a programme on Food Network (DSTV), one of my favorite channels. I'm on a weight loss diet (can't watch), so I eat a lot of salads these days. This salad was so delicious, I could eat it all through the day. Caution: Corn is high in  carbohydrates, so if you are on a low carb diet, consume this salad in little portions.  Corns are also high in potassium, dietary fiber, iron, low in saturated fat and contain no cholesterol. Corns come in different colors; white, yellow and even purple, depending on the area where they are grown. I prefer the yellow ones cos they contain more nutritive value.    Corn and Chicken Salad Ingredients: - 1 Can of Sweet Corn (Maize) - 200g of Shredded Chicken breast - 2 Red S...
