☆.Cooking With Flo Recipe - Mediterranean Beef Stew.☆

Finally my first video tutorial! I know sometimes it's really hard to get a recipe when you're just reading it so I plan to do more and more video tutorials!

Here's my first for a great Beef Stew that can pretty much be served with anything from rice to potatoes and bread, I have a quick and easy Wholemeal Flatbread recipe also coming that you'll be amazed about!

A lot of the veggies are optional but if you're looking for a good detox and low calorie meal this is a great option, prepared in less than 30 minutes, its all just prep work.

All the ingredients were purchased from Spar in Lekki and my local market just so show you how easy and convenient the dish was and it all cost approximately 1,500 Naira, bargain or what!

Check the details below.

This is a nice green smoothie that'll have you feeling refreshed! It's made using 5 simple and easy to find ingredients around the Lagos axis.

☆.Recipe: Follyfo's Pawgraba Smoothie.☆

Don’t be alarmed by the title! I just thought I could be cool and create a snazzy name for my smoothies, although not too creative I just mixed up the names of the fruits haha! Well here you have ‘PawGraBa’!

I really love smoothies especially on this healthy journey of mine (well not soo healthy but I try, never give up ay!) To make things easier I normally buy my fruits down, clean and cut them and put them in the freezer, so anytime I want to make a smoothie I just pick them out of the freezer and blend. Be careful with bananas tho, they don’t freeze for too long before getting all mushy, Yuck! Anyways enough of my rambling, peep the recipe below!

Ingredients:

Drinking Yoghurt

Handful cut Pawpaw

2 handfuls of Grapes

3 small Banana

Cinnamon

Water (Optional)

Health Benefits:

Paw Paw - is a satisfying fruit as the high fibre levels mean you stay satisfied longer without taking excess calories.

Banana -  Bananas reduce swelling, protect against type II diabetes, aid weight loss, strengthen the nervous system, and help with the production of white blood cells, all due to high levels of vitamin B-6.

Grapes -Grapes increase the nitric oxide levels in the blood, which prevents blood clots.

Cinnamon -It can lower blood sugar levels, reduce heart disease risk factors, and has a plethora of other impressive health benefits

Method:

Blend, Blend Blend!

Take care, until next time God bless!

☆.Life Update - 3 Years Living In Lagos, Am I Moving Back To London?!☆

It's already 3 years and I can't believe how fast time has flown! Being in Nigeria has had its ups and downs and that's pretty much why I've been so MIA from all forms of social media. I'm trying not to let it weigh me down but I decided to make a video to let you all in on some updates and recent happenings in my life.

I'm definitely going to try and be more constant with posting and get back on my blogging and YouTube game! So for any of y'all that are out there and still follow me, thanks! Hehe.

Check out my video below, explaining it all.

Take care and God bless!

☆.Cooking - Easy Pan Pizza.☆

Comfort food is one of my absolute favourites! You know those times when you just want to pig out, watch a movie and be by yourself (or is it just me? haha). Well it doesn’t always have to be soo unhealthy. I’m gonna show you how you can make an extremely quick and healthier option to ordering out - frying pan pizza! Yes you heard me right, no oven and it’s all done in less than 1 hour. It’s great cause you make it from scratch so you can determine how much ‘unhealthy-ness’ you want to put in it!
