Hello People, Hope you all are doing great. I'm sure many of  you will be like "what's akara-pancake again" lol... That's why you are on Nitie's Creation Blog, where i give you a new twist to your regular dishes. I first saw this dish on a friend's dp (display picture) on bbm (blackberry messenger), and i enquired and she gave me the recipe. Shout out to Oni K!Though i planned on trying it, i was caught up with a lot of other recipes that i forgot about it. This past weekend, i was about making breakfast for my Fam when i remembered the pic, and i said to myself, "why not give it a try". After making it and taking pix of the process, another thought came; "What will you call it", after thinking it through i decided to call it "Akara-Pancakes" why, you may ask? The answer is simple, It is the same "Akara" you know but made in a "Pancake" form. *winks Unlike the regular Akara (bean fritters or bean ball...

Hello People, Growing up i HATED eating beans, and the only way my Mum "forced" us to eat it was when plantain was added to it. Most times the plantain was more, so that was enough motivation. She always said "beans will make you grow tall". lol When i was in Secondary School (boarding house) i remember, days we had "beans porr" on the menu, the dining hall was always scanty. Even during my Uni days, i don't remember cooking beans. I wasn't just interested. After several years of running away from beans, i finally got the "killer" recipe that changed everything. Guess what? My hubby thought me this recipe (*winks). I will be sharing this recipe with you all, but before I do, here are some health benefits of Beans: 1.

Also, they are rich in fibre which  helps keep your cholesterol levels healthy by preventing chol...

Hello People, I remember my first attempt at making moi-moi, it was a disaster (*hides face). My aunt had given me the recipe and ingredients needed, I mixed it  but the mixture was kinda watery, so a cousin of mine said, "continue, it will be hard as it cooks". So I put the moimoi on the cooker and cooked for some minutes, by the time I brought it off the cooker, it was still watery (hahahhahaha). No price for guessing how sad I was that day. Anyways, after some months, I decided to try again, this time it turned out well. With continuous practice I'm gradually becoming a "moi-moi guru" *hehehehehe. Now, to the business of the day, this dish is also know as "Beans Pudding" and is most likely eaten as a side dish. Ingredients: - 2 cups of brown beans (you could use white, though i always prefer the taste of brown beans) - 4 tatashe / capsicum - 8 red bell pepper - 2 Medium sized Onions - 1 small sized green pepper (optional) - Crayfish  ...
