Whenever I'm craving something sweet and there isn't enough time to whip up some cupcakes, cinnamon rolls or cake I tend to make pancakes.
These banana walnut pancakes have stolen my heart. Walnuts in carrot cake too, but that's a recipe for another day. I whipped up some real quick and had to stop myself from eating more than three.
They...
Butter beans are a favorite in my household. I love how meaty they're and I'm not a bloated, farting mess after eating them.
I still soak them overnight because I feel like that reduces flatulence despite cooking them in my Instant Pot. These beans are done in 25 minutes in the Ipot with a slow release of 25 minutes.
I served...
Happy new month loves! Now that the trial month of 2020 is over can we get down to business? What better way to dust off the cobwebs on here than with a peek into my organised spice drawer?
In a tweet on December of last year, I said Tropical Heat should package their spices into glass jars as more and...
One of my weekly staples is a good curry and this coconut chickpea curry made in the instant pot is right up my alley. Coincidence that my last post was also a curry? I would love to call it a quick meal but you've to remember to soak your chickpeas the night before.
Cumin Egg Curry
I've never tried the quick...
Easy meal idea - cumin egg curry should be in your lunch or dinner plans. What is the best accompaniment for this meal? For me, rice works perfectly but some people love this curry with ugali.
Egg curry is one of those inexpensive meals that remind me of my campus days. And the dish comes about with just staples you've...
#RestaurantInspired is a new segment on the blog where I'll be recreating some of my favorite dishes that I've had at the cafes and restaurants I frequent. One of those meals is the grilled Halloumi salad from Artcaffe.
I've had this salad at different Artcaffe outlets and I noticed that sometimes their ingredients vary from branch to branch. Some have...
Are you as excited about soup weather like I am? This chilli & celery butternut soup can heal anything for those ten minutes that you'll be buried deep into that bowl. Spoonful after spoonful you begin to forget your days woes, that toxic boss, your late paycheck, even a heartbreak. It's that perfect hug in a bowl. Butternut squash...
Breakfast is my absolute favourite mealtime. I put in a bit more effort in making breakfast meals than lunch or dinner. This breakfast egg muffins are not in that category though. It requires minimal effort for something super easy to make and delicious.
I mostly gravitate more towards egg centered meals for breakfast. But switch it up with the occasional...
When I posted my banana bread photos on twitter and IG stories, I didn't expect the kind of buzz that followed with so many requests for a recipe. So it's only fitting we dust off the cobwebs on this website. This being the first one on here, I promise to keep it short and sweet. Initially, I planned to...
Have you ever taken yourself out on a romantic date? Dined solo, enjoyed a drink by the bar counter alone, traveled out of town? Simply leveling in your solitude and having a darn good time. Well, I had a #NRW2018 lunch date with self at About Thyme Restaurant yesterday and savored every moment of it. If I do say...
