☆.Recipe: Easy 5 Minute Breadcrumbs!!.☆

My move to Nigeria has forced me to become more innovative and creative - finding solutions to some issues I face trying to create a lot of my own dishes.

Why you may ask? Well not because my country doesn't have these things at hand, it's just either it's soooo hard to find or mad expensive especially now with the rise in the Dollar - That's the excuse for everything nowadays.

Anyways I really needed breadcrumbs for a recipe and it was either the breadcrumbs I found were no less than N2,000 or they just weren't right. So with a bit of research and some tweaking, here is my easy 5 minute breadcrumb recipe, and the best thing about this is all you need is some bread, a toaster and a blender!

Peep the full recipe below:

☆.Cook With Flo Recipe - NIGERIAN AYAMASE (DESIGNER STEW).☆

I'ts time for one of my most requested recipes, many of my friends always ask me to tell them how I make my Ayamase/Ofada Stew/Designer Stew (whichever name you pick) so here it is! 

It is a very spicy stew that has a lot of tradition, but honestly I don't know that story all I know is it tastes soo good! I call it Nigeria's own comfort food!

☆.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!

☆.Recipe: Follyfo's 'Green & Stuff' Smoothie.☆

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!

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!
