Low calorie meal prep options for the week.
When I was planning my lunch of pasta and creamy fish sauce, I realized something was missing: fiber! A meal doesn’t feel complete to me without some veggies on the plate. So, I took some leftover eggplants from when I made my eggplant sauce, grabbed a few carrots, and made this quick veggie stir-fry. It’s…
Cream sauce. Not every day rice and stew, spag and stew, bread and stew. Abeg, stew is not the only sauce oo 😅.Some days, I just check my pantry or freezer for what’s available, and somehow, those freestyle meals turn out crazy tasty! So here’s one of those “let’s-see-what-happens” wins; a creamy fish sauce made…

Teddy’s Spa Day, But Make It Edible! I know, I know… this one sounds crazy, but hear me out 😄 When Opeyemi Famakin announced #CritiqueWithOpe3 and the theme was rice and peanuts, my brain went into overdrive. I didn’t track calories today (shocking, I know!) because I just wanted to have fun and let my…
I love breakfasts that feel like a treat but are actually practical. That’s the whole idea behind this overnight oats recipe. I measured 40 g of whole-grain oats and 87 g of frozen mixed fruit, blended them until smooth, chilled the mixture, and topped it with the apple-cinnamon stovetop granola from my last post (check…
Something’s Missing from Your Yogurt (and Oats): Granola to the Rescue! If you’ve ever stared at your yogurt or overnight oats thinking “something’s missing,” you’re absolutely right. The toppings make all the difference! A little crunch, a little sweetness, and suddenly your boring bowl transforms into breakfast bliss. Now, I had a little situation; a…
I know, I know… pork again! 😂 But hear me out, this one’s different! These pork and potato bites are everything you need in a wholesome dish: protein-packed, full of flavor, and super easy to whip up. This was one of those random “throw everything in the pot and see what happens” kind of days,…
When Opeyemi Famakin dropped a challenge asking his followers to elevate simple ingredients to a fine dining level, I knew I had to show up! The first time I joined, I didn’t make the top 10, but my post engagement skyrocketed, so you can imagine how excited I was when he announced another round. This…
🥢 What Is Panla? Panla, also known as stockfish or smoked whiting, is one of those Nigerian ingredients that instantly takes you back home. The smoky aroma, the chewy-yet-tender texture, that deep salty-umami punch… it’s nostalgia on a plate. But if you’re outside Nigeria, finding authentic panla can feel like searching for gold 😅. So,…
If you know me, you know I’m not exactly a picky eater. Everything edible is basically “plus Jesus, minus Satan” down my throat, and that’s how I got big in the first place 😅. I’ll try anything once… well, almost anything. There’s one sauce, though, that I just can’t do anymore, which is green garden…
