How to Make Corn and Chicken Salad

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...

How to Make Akara-Pancakes

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".

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...

How to make Unripe Plantain Porridge

Hello People, I came to know about this dish when my Dad was diagnosed of Diabetes. At that point his doctor told him to cut down on his Carbohydrate intake and advised he eats more of protein and iron rich foods. One of his favorite from the Doctor's advise was Unripe Plantain Porridge (with lots of Ugu leaves) .Then we used to call it Kekefiyayi (this is the name people from Portharcourt and Bayelsa call it). It's a very healthy dish for diabetic patients, pregnant women, nursing mothers, children and even YOU. As a kid I loved this dish cos I always wanted to eat what my Dad was eating, (*Daddy's girl, *tongue out). This dish can be made with fish, beef, snails or any other protein you like. For this recipe, I made mine with dry fish (Azu Rivers State) *winks. A plate of Unripe Plantain Porridge Ingredients:  4 Unripe plantain 2 cooking spoons of crayfish 2 table spoons of palmoil Medium sized dry fish (smoked fish can be used) A handful of...

How to Make Porridge Beans (with tomatoes)

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. They are high in protein and contain little or no fat. They are also rich in minerals like iron, magnesium and zinc. 2. Also, they are rich in fibre which  helps keep your cholesterol levels healthy by preventing chol...
