Crepes are lighter forms of pancakes that can be folded or rolled up with any kind of filling that you like, it could be fruits, chocolate spread, eggs or even veggies.

Breakfast time should always be fun and easy just as they should be delicious and this is one recipe that is on a repeat in my kitchen.

The ingredients are similar to pancakes with the exception of baking powder, you can make this on the weekends and have the kids pick out their own kind of filling , and it’s a fun way to get the kids involved in the kitchen.

INGREDIENTS

1cup flour

11/2 cup milk

4tablespoon sugar

A pinch of salt

Nut Meg

1egg

2tablespoon butter (melted)

DIRECTIONS

In a large bowl combine all the dry ingredients together make a well in the middle of and add in all the wet ingredients, you want a watery but slightly thick consistency.

Take a non stick pan and rub on some butter or cooking spray and  place under low heat, scoop out your batter and pour into the pan ,allow to cover the pan and then when it starts to show bubbles on top , flip and cook the other side.

This process should basically take about a minute or so to cook both sides evenly. Repeat the same process for all of the batter ,till you are out of batter.

Fill your crepes with any filling of your choice ,you could just layer some chocolate spread on it  with a few fruit slices like strawberries and roll it out .

For my filling I used eggs fried with some cabbage, onions and peppers. Serve with baked beans and a delicious cup of hot tea , yummy all the way.

I will be bring out lots of easy breakfast recipes in the coming weeks so look out guys and bookmark this page so you don’t miss anything.

All the coconut lovers please raise your hands let’s know ourselves

Coconut is one of my favorite fruit to eat; you can pair it with soft hot bread, boiled corn or just eat it as a snack on its own! Sigh, it has so many nutritious health benefits which are why there is a recent hype to it, these days this is virtually nothing you can’t make with or from coconut.

Coconut Rice one yummy and equally cost effective meal that you can make which will satisfy the whole family, my secret to making it extra delicious and pocket friendly is by making the milk myself from fresh coconut, instead of buying the store packed ones.

For today’s recipe we will just be making use of the coconut milk and trust me this is so yummy and easy to prepare, even if it’s your first time you won’t get it wrong, so let’s get cooking.

INGREDIENTS

3cups of rice

4cups fresh coconut milk

Red chilly peppers

Tomatoes

Small onion

Green pepper

Salt and seasoning

2tablespoon ground crayfish

Vegetable oil 4tablespoon

Bay leaves

DIRECTIONS

Wash and parboil your rice for 10-12 minutes, strain and set aside.

Wash and slice all your veggies (tomatoes, peppers and onions ) , place a deep sauce pan on low heat and add in your vegetable oil, allow to heat up a bit then you add your veggies in no particular order.

Sauté the veggies for a few minutes, now it’s time to include your Bay leaves (3leaves is enough) salt and seasoning, leave to cook for three minutes and then add your coconut milk.

Once you have added your milk, leave to cook for five minutes, give it a good stir and taste to make sure your salt and seasoning is adequate, as this is the base for your coconut rice.

After five minutes, add in your rice, stir to incorporate and leave to cook for at least 15minutes or till the rice is cooked through and soft, by now I bet the aroma of the coconut milk is making you salivate, lol, allow the rice to dry of every liquid and serve garnished with some the green peppers and any side of protein that you like.

So guys that’s your simple, easy and extra yummy coconut rice! Kindly try out this recipe and let me know how it went in the comment section.

P.S the more pepper in this dish the tastier it is, but feel free to use pepper to your discretion.

To make the coconut milk, simply break open your coconut, remove the flesh and chop it into tiny bits, blend it with enough water in your blender and strain using a cheese cloth, yes it’s that easy.

Yes guys you read that right! This is the most delicious, super easy milk cookies recipe you will ever find, I tapped myself in the back after I came up with this recipe and am sure you will too once you make them.

Am constantly trying to fill my kids lunch box and the refrigerator with homemade goodies and this is now a family favorite.

Without further delay let me take you through the process.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup flour

1/2 corn flour

1 egg

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup powdered milk

1teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup butter

1 teaspoon baking powder

Directions

Cream together your butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy, add in the egg and mix to incorporate till the mixture resembles a smooth paste.

Add the vanilla extract and whisk together, add in the flour, corn flour, baking powder and powdered milk, cream this together till you get soft dough.

P.S the dough might seem breakable but don’t fret.

Now transfer the dough to a light flour surface and gently knead for 5minutes.

Wrap the dough up with nylon and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Take the dough out and set your oven to 270 degrees and while the oven is getting hot knead the dough gently for ten minutes and cut into two parts.

Take one part and roll it to about half an inch thick, with a clean kitchen knife or cookies cutter cut out your cookies to your desired shape and place them on a buttered baking sheet.

Repeat the same process for the remaining dough and then take a fork and dip into each cookie just to give it some design.

Place in the oven and reduce the oven to 200 degrees, bake for 10minutes

Take out your cookies and allow them to cool for 10minutes, please resist the temptation to start eating them right from the oven because I know I couldn’t wait.

Serve and enjoy your cookies with a glass of milk, juice or even with tea during breakfast.
