HERBY COUSCOUS SALAD

Recently, I took some days off work and traveled with my family to Ekiti State, Nigeria (The land of Pounded yam, I bet the Yorubas will relate) I literally ate pounded yam all through my nights there and as a result gained 3 kg, since then I've been nagging about the extra fat. I decided to have salad all through this week (don't judge me, Unhealthy Fat is my enemy). After having proper veggies salad for two days, I got bored and decided to try something exciting. Healthy eating does not have to be boring and that's why many people have developed exciting ways to stay healthy and eat well.

JOLLOF RICE - SPECIAL

So, as I typed the Post-heading, auto-correct changed my "jollof" to "jolly"...can you imagine?? I wonder why there's no jollof rice in the dictionary yet. Jollof Rice as we all know is our "vintage dish" our very own "signature dish" at every event. I once saw a quote that goes thus; "A party without jollof rice is a meeting" and yes, it's absolutely true. Funny how this is my first jollof rice recipe on the blog, it's probably because I believe most people know how to prepare jollof rice.

EGG FRIED RICE - THE REMIX

Sometimes last year, I posted a recipe on egg fried rice, but as we all know and expect, the only thing that is constant is CHANGE. There's a need to always upgrade/improve ourselves, health-wise, spiritually, social-wise, basically Life in general. So that's why this new recipe is here. I would say...the Need for Change inspired this post, and I'm beyond glad to have improved in my culinary skills.

This dish is best enjoyed with the family, you know, late lunch/dinner time, everyone smiling and
