HMMMMM, WHAT TO CALL THIS?

Olla peeps,

Have I wished you the best of 2015? If I have good if not the best of 2015 to you and yours full of Gods abundant blessing.

So y'all know by now that I totally loooooove food and I don't necessarily like spending hours in the kitchen when I'm hungry( which is almost always😃😃😃🙈)

Anywho we started a 21 day fast in my church today and for some reason I can't seem to make it till 6pm anymore so here I am breaking at 3 and just thanking God for His unending grace towards me.

As I was starving I thought what to break with? It was a toss up between quinoa and couscous and quinoa won.

Quinoa is a gluten free grain that's quite bland but can be oomphend up in so many ways it's almost unbelievable, cooked under 20 minutes after being properly washed.

It can be eaten on its own if cooked in a Flavoured stock, paired with or without proteins as in chicken, beef etc, made in jollof style(cooked in a pepper sauce), salad with steamed or raw veggies. The list goes on and on.

Today I made a jollof quinoa with the left over smoked fish sauce from my lunch on Saturday, steamed plantains In my trusty bamboo steamer, boiled an egg and garnished with spring onions.

I couldn't wait to dive in and it was yummilicious💃💃💃💃💃💃.

This love for food and sleep are blessings I always thank God for. There is absolutely nothing like being able to eat and eat properly what you want when you want it or being able to adapt what you have at home to meet your cravings. 

To all the lovers of food out there and home chefs I Salute you.

Enjoy a fruitful flourishing week.😘😘
