I am so exhausted with dusting and dusting and re-dusting. The Harmattan dust has been quite heavy this year . But guess what? The cool morning and evening weather is to die for…. Particularly if you live in Nigeria with poor electricity. For the kitchen work top it helps to wet your duster very slightly as this gets out the dust quite well.
The peak of the dry season is approaching so we have to braise up for the heat that is coming our way in this part of the world. For those no-NEPA days, at night, a wet towel by the bed side helps. Also you should change your pillow slip daily as the sweat could trap bacteria and cause you to breakout on the face.
So much for the weather update let’s turn our attention to food. We have heard so much about breakfast being the important meal of the day for a healthy lifestyle but when you are running to beat the morning traffic it’s sometimes impossible for you – or if you have kids, for them – to sit down for breakfast. If you are also aiming to lose weight, you may just think breakfast is what you should be avoiding but guess what, you might just be wrong. Breakfast actually helps you manage your calorie intake through the day.
Today’s offering is one breakfast you can pack and eat when you arrive at work or get the kids to eat on the way to school without getting the uniform soiled and with the little faces I made out with the dry fruits , it should be fun for the kids….Fruity French Toast.

Hi 1Q, quick question… Do you stick the currants on both sides and if you do, how do you prevent them from falling off?
Hi,Nne.Yes you stick it on one side.
Madam,pls where do I get maple syrup?.
Hi, Pamela. Maple syrup is in many big stores or supermarket like Shoprite.
I made it last night and my husband liked it. Only for him this morning to ask me to prepare the one he will eat at work.
Hello Dhamie.
Hello Dhamie. I fully support Hubby. Make the batch he will take to work……
Hi 1Q, I want to ask if milk is part of the ingredient or which French toast they normally use milk for?
Hi, Oluwafemi. I did not add milk. Actually if you have enough eggs, then the milk is not really needed. Milk is always added to reduce the quantity of eggs to be used.
happy new year, madam. the first reason i love your blog is that the ingredients you use in preparing your dishes are readily available. welldone!
Hi, Bertha. Thanks a lot for the kind words.
