Tomi's condense milk, white chocolate and strawberry cookies

This post is dear to my heart as it features my daughter, Tomi's baking. 

My daughter is always around me in the kitchen and she's always wanting to bake or cook something so today I allowed her bake one of her favourite  yummy crunchy cookies. 

We both enjoyed every minute of it and it gave us time to bond while I shared some baking tips and insights with her. 

Proud momma here, I really felt so good watching her work, it's amazing how much they are capable of.

Parents, teaching your kids to be independent in the kitchen is really necessary. It's also a fun thing for them to do this long holiday. 

This recipe is not restricted to just white chocolate or strawberry.. I would recommend you let your imagination run wild 

Ingredients 

200g self raising flour 

100g butter

190ml condense milk

100g white chocolate 

100g strawberries 

100g sugar 

Step 1. Pour all ingredients into a large bowl.

Step 2. Combine gently, using your fingers...*avoid squashing the strawberries**

Step 3. When properly mixed, scoop little at a time into a greased floured tray, then bake for 29-25mins or until almost golden brown 

Tomi and mommy 100% enjoyed the process.

Watch out for more cooking and baking coming from her kitchen. Cheers 

Corned beef sauce

This is a classic fried sauce back home in Nigeria. It evokes memories of lazy weekends and family Saturday breakfasts.

Corned beef is pretty relatively expensive so it's not an every day sauce in most homes. 

This sauce is typically served with boiled yams, bread or rice.

Corned beef is typically salty so please add seasoning cubes with the utmost care. 

Ingredients 

*Tomatoes

*Red bell peppers 

*Onions 

*Spring onions 

*Oil 

*Corned beef

Step 1. Blend the peppers, onions, spring onions and tomatoes together till almost smooth. Then fry with the oil, till paste like 

step 2. While the blended mix is cooking add in the stock 

Step 3. Once steamed, add in the corned beef

Step 4. Stir properly, taste for seasoning if required add more.. Allow to cook for further few minutes and it ready 

I served mine, with boiled rice... The taste is amazing and it gave us a nice break from all the usual stews and soups. 

Egg muffins

Eggs are one awesome food in terms of nutrients and versatility. Egg muffins are another awesome and fun way to have your eggs as you can add whatever toppings you fancy. I really love this meal and it was also a hit with the kids!!! Did I mention they are super healthy?

I decided to use two different types of eggs for the fun of it. I used regular chicken eggs and quail eggs which I love.

Bear in mind though, whatever eggs  or toppings you use, the process remains the same. Also remember to preheat the oven before commencing to gas Mark 5.

Ingredients 

*Eggs (I use chicken and quail eggs)

*Mixed Olives with sundried pepper

*Cherry tomatoes

*Corned beef

*Chilli peppers

*Spring greens 

*Butter

(A cooking spray or olive oil can be used in place of butter. Toppings like cheese, sausages, onions, parsley, thyme and bell peppers are also good options).

Step 1. Grease the muffin tin with butter, be generous with it 

Step 2. Break the eggs 1 at a time into the muffin bowls.. Then start adding in the toppings 

Step 3. Next top with little butter, then place inside the oven to bake for 4-6mins

And it's ready...The kids and I enjoyed the process and the outcome. They looked so cute once cooked.

These muffins were super yummy as all the ingredients added their own personal flavour to the eggs.
