Food Friday: The Cousin Anne-Inspired Salad

Hello again!

So sorry for my inconsistent timing with the Food Fridays.

If you follow me on Instagram you would be have been expecting this recipe. This is a salad that I have eaten practically every day for almost a whole week now. I have it as a second part to my dinner and it tastes so good!

I decided to call this 'The Cousin Anne-Inspired Salad,' because it was inspired by a salad my aunt made for me which she said that my cousin had made for her some day and everyone loved it. This is not 100% my cousin's recipe as hers contains dairy (which I'm allergic to) and I added ingredients to the recipe.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!

Bon Appétit!

Food Friday!!: Easy Quick "J-Rice" Burrito

I know I missed a Food Friday and I am so sorry about that. I need to set reminders for myself as I am so out of routine, at the moment.

This week's Food Friday recipe is not a conventional one. As a matter of fact, it raises quite a number of eyebrows, but I promise you, it tastes pretty good. It was inspired by both a Nigerian and a Mexican dish and...well....you just have to try it! :)

Bon Appétit!

Food Friday!!: Coconut Rice

I am so so so so sorry I haven't uploaded a Food Friday recipe in weeks! I have been pretty busy, not sleeping well, away (in the forest) and...well....I'm back now.

Today, I am going to share with you a recipe for my beloved coconut rice. It is and easy to prepare and cook and it tastes SO SO GOOD!

Bon Appétit!

Food Friday!!: Potato Parcel Meal

Parcel meals have become things I really enjoy to prepare and to eat now especially as I am at uni till quite late at night often (some times I don't get home till 11pm). With parcel meals, you don't have to keep standing by a stove. All the work you need to do is to just cut up some ingredients, pile them together, wrap them up and stick them in an oven. It's so simple! Here's my recipe for a delicious potato parcel meal.

Food Friday!!: Nigerian-Inspired Dishes (in Collaboration With VegansOfNigeria)

Picture got from UnleashInternet

Food Friday is here again!!

This week, I have collaborated with Wandoo Ityavyar of VegansOfNigeria to bring two Nigerian-inspired dishes to you (well....their recipes).

My inspiration for deciding to have this theme for this week's Food Friday was that, unfortunately, I am not particularly in touch with my Nigerian culture, especially as I do not live in Nigeria. I am not much of a fan of Nigerian foods, to be honest, but I am a fan of foods inspired by Nigerian dishes. Maybe it's because I don't like the taste of meats (or that I am just a picky eater ;) ).

Wandoo and I both do not eat meats and we both happen to be Nigerian so, we are bringing to you our take on vegan versions of Jollof Rice and Groundnut/Peanut Soup, respectively.

Let us know if you try our recipes and don't forget to check out Wandoo @VegansOfNigeria on Instagram!

Bon Appétit!

Food Friday!!: Gluten-Free Pancakes (in Collaboration with Dubai Fit Foodie)

It's another Food Friday!!!!

This week I have collaborated with Dubai Fit Foodie to bring two awesome gluten-free pancake recipes to you.

When I decided to make this week's Food Friday recipe a pancake one and asked Gbemi, of Dubai Fit Foodie, if she would like to collaborate with me, I didn't realise that Tuesday's going to be Pancake Day/Shrove Tuesday! So, these recipes are coming to you at a good time.

As usual, my recipe is vegan. However, Gbemi's is vegetarian, but I will put vegan alternatives to the two ingredients that make it vegetarian in parenthesis.

Let us know if you try our recipes and be sure to check out Dubai Fit Foodie!

Food Friday!!: Coconut Curry + Cauliflower Buffalo Bites

It's a new Food Friday post!!

This has got to be the best curry I have ever made. I had it for three days and loved it more every day. It is awesome with rice and awesome with boiled potatoes too!

The buffalo bites (which were gluten-free) tasted much better than I expected they would too! You might not know this, but since I was a kid, I've hated cauliflower. This might be because my mum forced me to eat it, who knows?

As I have become more plant-based and started eating fruits and vegetables in MUCH larger quantities, I felt that my palate might have adjusted a bit and like I could be creative with the vegetables I hated as a kid. So, I added my worst tree monsters to this dish - broccoli and cauliflower and guess what! I loved it! I even added broccoli to a vegan stroganoff I made about two days ago and it was so good!

Anyways, enough with my rambling.

I hope you enjoy this recipe!

Bon appétit!

Food Friday!!: Vegan Pizza

Welcome to another Food Friday!!

Today, I am going to give you the recipe to the first pizza I ever made. As I am allergic to dairy (as seen in my previous blog post), this recipe does not contain cheese on it and is therefore a vegan pizza.

This pizza was so good that my non-vegetarian/non-vegan family ate it! Honestly, each time I've made pizza, the vegan one just seems to vanish within seconds! I'm glad my family (including cousins, aunties and uncles) love it!

Let me know if you try the pizza!

Bon Appétit!
