Hello Nairalanders!

First, I have to thank you, because it's with you guys that I learned some of the few nigerian dishes I can cook now

I need your help to make a decent food roster for my hubby, who only likes nigerian food. I usually try to cook nigerian food a couple of times a week, and cook western food the rest of the time (that he doesn't eat) but, though he doesn't complain, I know it's not good enough for him.

The thing is that, even though I love nigerian food, it takes a lot of time to cook, and I'm not eager to eat it every day and every meal. So I need a food roster that would allow me to just fix little things up, or use left overs or any other idea you have, so I could cook both nigerian and western food, and my husband would always have a decent meal at home.

I can spend longer time cooking on week ends, and one (sometimes two) evenings a week. The rest of the time, I can't spend much more than 30 min in the kitchen (it takes me less than 20 min to cook a simple western meal,  but I'm used to it and much slower at cooking nigerian dishes).

Do you have any ideas ?

For now, I can only make: regular stew (with semoule or eba if we have some at home), egusi soup, jollof rice, fried rice, beans (I only know how to cook them one way, maybe there are other ways?), I'm learning to cook moi moi (not great yet, but i'm getting better!),  and well, that's it. I can fry eggs, prepare yam (boiled or fried), or fry plaintain,

Any roster I could use for a week/month? Or other dishes that I could learn to make my husband happy ?

Another thing is breakfast, I never know what to prepare for him for breakfast?

Many thanks !

Ok, I can try that, but is it not "always the same"? I sometimes wonder if my husband always eats the same stuff because we are abroad and can't find proper ingredients/don't know how to cook other dishes or if that's just a normal thing to him, won't it be boring to have rice every evening?
