@All, Good day,

Ȋ̝̊̅ feel that Ȋ̝̊̅ just have to report this and give kudos where it is due. Ȋ̝̊̅ never cook for large crowds. Ȋ̝̊̅ can assist but don't and hv never done it alone. Anytime Ȋ̝̊̅ hv to host DH's friends Ȋ̝̊̅ call this caterer friend of mine over. Some weeks back, Ȋ̝̊̅ attended a 3 days convention and decided to cook throughout. Ȋ̝̊̅ also decided to cook for many and Ȋ̝̊̅ did it alone!

For 3 straight days, my food was absolutely divine. Ȋ̝̊̅ didn't feel stressed out at all. It all seemed so easy. Ȋ̝̊̅ had no fear of oversalting which Ȋ̝̊̅ used to do b4 even with small meals. My co-ordination was sometin else. Ȋ̝̊̅ seemed to have attained a level of wifeness Ȋ̝̊̅ never had b4.

Thanks Deema!

Liz, lol @ level of wifeness.
Coco, I love your list, especially the colcannon. Na real 'do the needful'. Lol

Chicla, it's as tasty as the recipe you use it in. It really soaks up sauces and spices. Otherwise, it's as tasteless as cauliflower and cabbage.

Hello All,Compliments of the season
@Dreamsinbc
Please i wanted to try out your potatoe and beef stir fry recipe for christmas so i got all the ingredients you listed except hoisin sauce.

Please can anyone suggest where i can get hoisin sauce in Lagos.I got all the other spices in Shoprite Surulere. Please help a sister,i wanted to do something different for the holidays.Thanks.

Hi Oluite. Do you have oyster sauce? If you don't, use the same amount of soy sauce+1 teaspoon of honey.

Thanks,i saw oyster sauce and soy sauce.I will go and get either.Thank you so very much Dreamsinbc.

@ dreams...kai i be bush girl o! been looking for that sesame oil in the oil section, you know where they have olive oil, veg oil, etc. iv even given up only to find it beside the oyster sauce when i went for that today cuz i want to make the brocolli beef tomorrow.

p.s i hate honey....can i skip it

Compliment of d season you all.

Iv started my xmas since 21st, was confused on wat to cook for xmas, so iv been trying almost all d. Recipees

To make coconut oil

I go for a dozen coconut, d big strong ones, remove d shell, dice, blend and filtered.

I put in a large bowl with wider top than bottom and leave for 24 hrs. By d 24th hr, the cream wld be at d top and water at d bottom. Gently scrape d cream at d top, and put in anor bowl, pour away d water of course.

U wil notice d oil settling on d cream, leave fo another 12 - 24 hours, and star separating the oil from d cream. Remove some oil, leave wen it starts packing cream, it wil settle more, go back after a few hours and remove more oil til there is non left!

Sorry it's comming late, but iv been so busy trying to give my guest (kids) treats, it's better now, cos I av some younger cousin around and wt I more kid. Dont envy me o, satisfying and settling fight between 9 kids no be joke.

Once more, merry xmas

Merry Christmas my lovies!!!

Loosing weight is easy, you simply reduce your calorie intake whilst increase your level of physical activity i.e. exercise. It's not diet alone, diet wouldn't work for people who can't be bothered to go for a run or go to the gym. It's like fighting a loosing battle.

Nice food photos BTW.

let see if anyone can do this 4 a month

@docconcepts, if you read through, you'll find that some of us have completed the challenge. Some of us are currently doing it. The beauty of it is that it's very doable. And you can overlook the challenge, and just make the healthy recipes here.
