I know this sounds like a weird combination but it actually tastes good! The sweetness from the banana and the crunchiness from the peanuts combined with the soft rice all goes down well with the taste buds. For some it may be an acquired taste but it’s good and nutritious. Quick Instructions Step 1 is…
This basic soup is prepared in most households and is served with just about anything. From the most popular sadza or rice to potatoes and bread even. It’s so basic and easy to do but that doesn’t mean it should be running and you can so see every component or the tomatoes floating in the…
Sadza is our most common food here in Zimbabwe. Not surprisingly so as it is our staple food! Every household partakes of sadza nenyama nemuriwo (pap, meat and leafy vegetables) almost every day, be it supper or lunch. It is also one of the first foods that babies are given, usually at 6 months (some…
Experimenting, experimenting, experimenting! I think my middle name should have been experimenting, lol. Okay but seriously, most of the dishes that are there now that we love so much came about because someone was experimenting with ingredients in the kitchen. So it is with this recipe. Pecan nuts are one of my favourite nuts in…
I know it kinda sounds crazy and maybe unheard of but yep… you can most certainly add a little flavour to your sadza (pap). Oh and it tastes good! You probably won’t be able to eat it with your lacto, but with any other relish you definitely can and will be licking your fingers to…
This is a quick, easy and tasty sandwich which you can make for the lunch box or just snack on whilst you’re at home. The good thing about it is that it’s actually feeling. The protein in the chicken helps to keep you feeling satiated a bit longer. Give it a go and I’m sure…
Rice rine dovi (with peanut butter) is very nutritious. It’s kinda unfortunate my eldest daughter does not really like it but I make her eat it anyway! It is after all good for her 😉 I’m hoping she’ll acquire the taste and with time she’ll love it. It’s pretty easy to do and I prefer using…
Cheese and tomato is a popular combination for sandwiches. I’ve just put a small twist to this by adding green pepper, shallots and ground black pepper. It tastes absolutely great and I’m sure you’ll love it! Cheese is a great source of calcium which is important for the formation of strong bones and teeth. Tomatoes…
This veggie roll is one of the healthiest things you can eat and it doesn’t take time to prepare. It’s great to eat in those times when you’re feeling hungry and want a quick snack that is nutritious. My kids love it and you can experiment/ modify it and put your own favourite vegetables. You…
This is one of my favorite green leafy vegetables. I believe it’s important not to overcook food more so vegetables because not only would the food become bland but you will also lose the nutritional value you are supposed to get from that food. This is why I prefer cooking muriwo weRape in this way.…
When it comes to having vegetables, save for butternuts, I like to have them crunchy and not soggy or too soft. I also want them to look appetizing which they often don’t look like when they are over-done. This is also apart from the fact that you lose all the nutrients when you over-cook food.…
Fresh cream frosting also known as whipped cream has in the past few years become the preferred icing on cakes and confectioneries over butter cream icing. Not that there is anything wrong with butter cream icing but fresh cream frosting gives a cake, cupcake or muffin a certain type of freshness and flavor which butter…
