☆.Cooking With Flo Recipe - One-Pot Creamy Sweet Potato & Chicken Porridge.☆

I've been on a mission to try and live healthier (all of that for another post Lol). But I came up with this recipe whilst trying to combine my favourite ingredients together.

My One-Pot Creamy Sweet Potato & Chicken Porridge is just great because everything is done in one pot (hence the name) plus you can get a lot of servings out of it with minimal ingredients used and its delicious, win win!

I have the full tutorial below!

On my latest vlog I attended 'Gidi Culture Festival 2016' which will be my second time attending, I must say wasn't as great as last year too be honest but I made the most of it. I also caught up with an old friend and spent time with my family.

Enjoy!

☆.Flo Talks Real- That one Ex.☆

So I've been wanting to do this for the longest time, pour out my heart and get real with y'all but I felt like mayn that's TMI for my blogger fam no-one wants to know what's going on in my life.
But guys there are so many things that boggle my brain and situations I've been in that I think to myself I have to share this so this is it, the first episode of Flo Talks Real =]!

I'm here to talk about 'THAT ONE EX' which will be referred to as TOE from now on, ironic the fact that TOE is the abbreviation, seen as toes smell and so do exes.....

Seriously tho, you know TOE that you just can't get over even though it has been years, TOE who whenever they notice you're doing good and moving on suddenly decides to step back into your life and remind you that they still have your feelings in the palm of their hands, it's seriously evil!

Honestly I'm not really a fan of this whole 'Yoruba Demon' craze but boy.....when we check some guys track records and how they been treating the ladies you can definitely understand Lol. Don't get me wrong guys, us ladies have our issues too, just saying.

I recently got a message from one of my exes he was my very own Edo Demon...hehe....I would say he was my one true love (not that I can't meet another some day who knows) but literally this guy was my best friend and that was everything I wanted and looked for in a relationship.
We could talk about any and everything, didn't fight much and just genuinely enjoyed each-others company. Not like our relationship was perfect, of course as in all relationships it had some downs but overall it was great.......

☆.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.

☆.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!

☆.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!

Don’t be alarmed by the ingredients below, you can use whatever toppings you like!
