Always good to relax after a busy time in the kitchen

Always good to start the week nice breakfast

I really love to snack with smoked mackerel with garri ijebu (fine cassava granules). It has a crunchy and sour taste that I so much enjoy during summer.

This is one of my favorite traditional breakfast as a kid. Beans fritters with African corn pudding (akamu/ogi). I made the corn pudding couple of weeks ago with organic corn and stored in the refrigerator. I like to take the corn pudding with honey and some powdered milk dissolved in few tablespoons of water. Pap is very rich in fiber and the beans is also rich in protein.

Starting the weekend with a delicious long grain rice with stewing chicken and ripe plantain. How are you starting your weekend?

I love when I make trio vegetables with pounded yam because it is one of the favorite dishes from southwest Nigeria. This vegetables soup (efo riro) is made with shrimps, stockfish, mackerel fish, crayfish, mushroom and different kinds of pepper. The pounded yam is made from natural yam. I noticed that the taste is very different from the flour yam (ola ola). It is sweeter than the flour powder and the texture came out well food processor. Try it...

Here is what I made from this organic coconut. Coconut milk and coconut rice with organic spring onions, ground pepper, and some shrims. It is very tasty and healthy. Try and make yours and share experience @ Austin, Texas
