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! :)

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!

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!

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!!: Cinammon-Vanilla Chia Pudding

Ingredients

• Chia seeds
• Almond milk
• Vanilla paste
• Cinnamon
• Maple Syrup

Method

• In a cup/mug containing some almond milk, add the cinnamon, vanilla paste and maple syrup to taste and give the milk a good stir to ensure the ingredients have been well incorporated into it. I like to add enough cinnamon, vanilla paste and maple syrup to make the almond milk taste like melted vanilla ice cream.
