SO WHAT EXACTLY IS THIS?

Olla peeps,

Trust you're over the valentine weekend and all its attendant brouhaha😃😃. 
It's amazing the frenzy that proceeds this "love" day. Phew! Personally it goes beyond flowers, chocolates and dinner. If you don't show love up to that point one day is not going to make a ripple in the ocean shikena!

Anywho #movingon 😃 I have done a bit in the last few weeks but haven't updated the blog so today I give you my beautiful meal of steMwd yams and a cheese omelette with an anti inflammatory ginger pineapple smoothie from preventdisease.com which I found on Pinterest posted by simple pure beauty.

I don't boil my starches in water anymore and by starches I mean potatoes sweet and Irish, yams including cocoyams and plantains. I simply was them properly and slice them almost thinly and place in a bamboo steamer over simmering water for about 15-20minutes and voila! My stach is ready and absolutely yummy. Sometimes I sprinkle with salt sometimes not.

My eggs had red ata rodo(scotch bonnet), 
onions, 
garlic, 
tomatoes, 
parsley, 
spring onions, 
cheddar cheese, 
salt and 
a bit of dry yellow pepper. 
I sautéed the onions, garlic and pepper in a combination of unsalted butter and coconut oil, added the salt and pepper after about 3minutes, stirred then poured in the whisked eggs and the cheese..
I normally stir all the ingredients in the pan once and then leave to cook. Most times I try to flip the egg over and it's not much of a pretty sight so I end up folding.

The smoothie had
2 cups Pineapple 
1 cup mango
1 piece of Ginger
1/2 a cup of celery stalk and leaves
Just under 1 cup of water 
1tsp of vanilla extract

All poured in a blender and blended till smooth.
It was truly refreshing. 

Bonus Smoothie

11/2 bananas 
Half a beetroot 
About half a mango
1/4 of an avocado
1" of ginger 
Enough freshly squeezed orange juice to blend. 

Enjoy a fruitful flourishing week. 😘😘
