French Toast

What's the difference between Frenchmen and toast? You can make soldiers out of toast. 

Whats better on a Saturday than a French Toast? Absolutely nothing except a Toast garnished with bananas and strawberries. There are many variations to this simple recipe depending on the type of break you prefer and your favorite fruits. For this recipe I used whole wheat bread which could be replaced using white bread, cinnamon raisin, rye or potato white bread. This is a quick breakfast or brunch idea that is so filling and healthy too. Peanut butter base has always been a perfect idea until it was replaced by avocado. You'd question this choice if you are not avocado friendly and that's alright. Hopefully someone reaches out to me after reading this post because it's worth the curiosity. Let us see what this is all about......

Cookie Crust Banana Ice-cream....... Just because I love bananas!

Bananas contain a fair amount of fiber, as well as several antioxidants. bla bla bla.  In as much as this is not why I am here, I thought it beneficial to back up my love for bananas as they always taught me to cite my references while writing grad school paper works :) frustrating right?  SUMMER  I look at the sun and all I can think of are bananas. :) :) Always remember that the owner of this blog loves food just so I don't always surprise you with my comparisons.

Simple Nigerian Stew

Image
Stew is a Nigerian term for tomato sauce or paste base that can be eaten along side any brand of rice, pasta or roots (potatoes and yams). It is a versatile dish that every Nigerian ought to be an expert in preparing this. There are so many ways different tribes in Nigeria prepare this dish. Some use either fresh peppers, fresh tomatoes or puree, while some combine all three. Regardless of your choice, there are indigenous ingredients that must be present. Also, the kind of meat preferred is also optional. The most exciting part of this dish are the unique taste, easy recipe and short cooking time (No one likes to spend a century in the kitchen). Let me teach you how to prepare a pot of stew in 20 mins (excluding prep time) and have your stomach emitting butterflies (I'm serious as a heart attack).  Pork Neck Stew.
