Ofe- akwu rice

chii8, so with your inspiration, I made this for today
Ofe akwu with cow head

purplecoco:
It was already grounded. It store bought. Lol and it's usually eaten this way sometimes

ok o.
But there are somethings I will not buy with my money o. Even if there is anything like turkey pie, I would make mine with chunks of turkey, just like chicken pie. Probably why I am not a fan of meatpies.
I love my proteins whole to be munched on

purplecoco:
First time posting . It looks like prison food but this was my post-workout meal, that I made from scratch. Mashed potatoes, ground turkey with broccoli.

Why did you have to grind my beloved turkey?
Shey that's what the mouth is for

Catfish pepper soup to the rescue

loveymom:
Hahahahahahahahaha

How are you Sis?

I am good. Trust you and yours are as well.

Hathor5:
Reward for so many things well done this week. We all should reward ourselves for all the great work we do every day. Don't we always try to do our best?

I feel great today and I hope you all do too. Have a blessed weekend y'all.

Yes we should

UyaiIncomparabl:
Ahem! First time post. I hope I get the strength to keep posting regularly.

Afang soup with better condiments inside.

Correct, especially that shaki that is announcing itself

BlueRayDick:
Breakie is served : Rice + Beef & veggie stir fry + egg


I will not even lie, I'm impressed with myself on this one...Ọlọhun!...

The stir fry looks great and colourful

breadplanets:
When I was little I watched adults cook yam pottage by boiling the white yam first then they will sieve out almost all the water before they now put all the ingredients and turn well the heat for a few minutes voila yam pottage.
Now I just add all the ingredients plus water before I even place on fire. Yam go done pottage go form by hersef. No time

This looks great will try it with vegetables tonight.

loveymom:
Lunch at work, didn't cook but I ate it.

I am not greedy, so I'll have only 3 drumsticks

FloraEC:
Yesterday I wasn't feeling great, I kept having tightening of the stomach, I bet is not braxton hicks. It comes, goes, comes again and finally it stopped.
Went for scan, was told baby is fine, cervix closed. Doc told me is probably what I ate that caused it. I still feel weak tho but I know it'll end in praise.

It is well with you and baby. Baby will definitely come at God's appointed time.

Akposy:
Rice and chicken. Craving satisfied

Chicken was seasoned & steamed. Dipped in a local mix made up of freshly squeezed pineapple juice, lemon juice, soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce, ginger-garlic-chilli powder, honey, seasoning, salt, margarine and sesame oil

...story so far...
After craving & searching effortlessly for chicken, I gave up the search cos when I get money, I no day see chicken buy and when I broke, chicken day boku for everywhere.
Well my friend brought a full chicken to help him grill for a small picnic.... here's the result

These look great

Village kitchen

There must always be that one person may nor go hear wait.

Breakfast

Me sef will not hear wait

Trendytessy:
Ok.. how do I get mine to be plenty. I made 4 cups but I'm sure it's not up to your quantity

For chin- chin, it's tricky. As you increase, Flour, you increase baking powder.

Akposy:
Cinnamon rolls.

Who want?

Me first

Hathor5:
Flaky/puff pastry is usually a lot of work so I buy it but here is a quick recipe. If you feel like you want to make it, I will give you the recipe for the filling.

You are right, looks like a lot of work.
How about, I look for where to buy the flaky puff and then ask for the recipe for the filling when I have it

Petyprincess:
Just finished making fresh Titus soup nd thinking what to eat it with

Piping hot white rice

Trendytessy:
Lol.. looks good. How many cups of flour did you use to get both jars filled?

3.5 cups of flour, but the 2nd cup didn't get filled to the top.

Hathor5:
Where is my spoon?

How many spoon you see there?
Meanwhile, it's meal for 3. So while you are searching for spoon, the meal is getting demolished

Hathor5:
Can you buy or make flaky pastry? If yes, I will give you the recipe even though you have eaten Coco's jollof rice.

Even me and Coco have settled tey tey
Explain flaky pastry, isn't that the whole point of the recipe

Well, dinner has been served

Hathor5:
I have typed countless recipes, not once have I seen someone actually use them.
Not even the 5-minute-microwave-chocolate-cake. The easiest of all.

So we are not allowed to ask for recipe again

Hathor5:
The Goddes of Jollof Rice is not on your side these days. Here you are asking for jollof and she grabs it from under your nose.

Who God has blessed......

Hathor5:
Veggie rolls with broccoli, carrots, tomato, spring onions and feta cheese.

Hathor, you know it's recipe I will ask for nah

Mariangeles:
Hathor come let's have some delicious chinchin

Leave hathor alone o, she said 30 days abi 365 days

folake4u:
Please gimme recipe for your chinchin and shortbread.
Thanks.

I have the recipe of the short bread above gotten from a YouTube video.
For the chin-chin I used-
3.5 cups of flour
1/2 cup of sugar
5 table spoon of milk ( I used powdered, if you are using liquid, watch the water you add later)
2 eggs( you can use 1, I wanted it very rich)
50 grams of butter/margarine. ( I used about 40, didn't want it too soft)
I teaspoon of baking powder,
0.5 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of vanilla flavour
Some grated nutmeg
A pinch of cinnamon ( very optional)
Method
Seive the flour, salt & baking powder into a bowl
Add your sugar, powdered milk, nut Meg and cinnamon. ( Basically mix all the dry ingredients together with your hands)
Now knead in the butter into the dry ingredients til it's properly integrated. Texture will change.
When butter is fully integrated to the dry ingredients, add in your whisked egg and vanilla flour and knead properly together.
At this point, depending on the type of milk you are using, since I used powdered, I add to add a few drops of water to properly knead the dough with my hands integrating all the ingredients.
Until it doesn't stick to my hands and the bowl and forms a nice smooth ball

Transfer to a work surface and roll out in batches with a rolling pin.( I used a bottle )
Then cut with a knife into desired sizes and fry in hot( not too hot) oil. Till it's golden brown

Don't let it brown too much o, cos it will still brown when it gets down.

If this post is confusing, abeg check any YouTube video. I started frying chin-chin before the internet came out so I do it old school, with a bit of tweaking

Awesomemama:
Thanks a lot
Altho I don't have a scale, I'll have to figure out the cup measurement.
One more thing, does white sugar and icing sugar require the same measurement ?

I am not sure o. Icing sugar is same as confectionery sugar or powdered sugar.
As per measurements, Google should help convert from grams to cups. The only tricky thing there is that grams is universal but cups is not, there are like 3 or more cups measurements ( uk, us, China or so)
For example, this particular recipe said 1 cup of flour or 140grams. Some conversion will call 1 cup of flour as 125grams.
If you want to do more baking infuture, I suggest you invest in a small digital scale. Ranges from.#2'500 to #3500.

Hope I didn't end up confusing you.

Hathor5:
I will be a chin-chin oppressor for at least another 30 days.

We are watching
