RICE WITH STIR FRY VEGETABLES

Ingredients
1 cup rice
2 scotch bonnet pepper (washed and chopped)
1/4 of medium cabbage "
1 medium carrot "
1/2 green bell pepper "
1 medium onion "
1 chestnut "
A handful of Mushrooms "
1/4 cup sweetcorn "
Prawns/shrimps , 200g
1 cooking spoon vegetable oil
1/2 tsp curry
1/4 tsp thyme
1 bouillon cube ( I use Knorr)
Salt to taste

Preparation
- Put the rice in a bowl and wash till the water is clear, then drain.
- Place a pot of water on the cooker and add the rice in it. Do not add too much water so it doesn't get mushy
- Add salt, stir and leave to cook for say 15-20 mins depending on how soft or hard you prefer your rice to be.
- After that time, dip a spoon into the bottom of the pot to ensure that the water in the pot is dried up....And your rice is ready to be served. (P.S: If you love parboiling you rice like myself, please do that halfway through the cooking of the rice as if it is done when the rice is already well cooked; may become soggy.

PREPARING THE SAUCE
- Heat up oil in a sauce pan on medium heat for about 3 minutes.
- Add the shrimps to the oil, together with the curry, thyme, maggi, onion and scotch bonnet peppers. Stir and allow to fry for up to 5 minutes (Do not leave unchecked).
- Add all the vegetables and continuously stir until all the ingredients become well blended together. Cover and leave to steam for about 5 minutes.
- Add salt to taste. Let it simmer for another 2mins.
- And your sauce is ready to be served.

FOR THE TURKEY

Deskin the thighs, then I mixed a bit black pepper, half of a bouillon cube, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp All purpose seasoning, a pinch of garlic , 1/4 tsp curry and thyme together in a bowl then added a tbsp of oil and stirred well. Afterwards, you wash the turkey thighs and rub the seasoning mix on it (or you could mix the seasoning, then rub the oil on the turkey instead and sprinkle the seasoning all over it). Then cut about 3" of a foil paper and place on the oven tray then put your turkey on it and leave to grill... It takes about 40 mins or more for the turkey thigh to be well cooked from the inside. If you want to really feel the seasonings in the turkey, you could wrap it up in a foil paper for about an hour to marinate...and yes you know the turkey is done when you get the golden brown color. (I hope this helps).

Thanks so much for reading. Love you all :)))

Avocados'

Avocados are very nutritious and contain monounsaturated fats (MUFA’s), fibers, potassium and some vitamins. Avocados are said to contain around 160 calories, 3 grams of protein, 12 grams of carbohydrate and about 21.5 grams of fat with the majority of carbohydrates in form of fibers. You can eat them in moderation as part of a weight-loss diet or add them to your regular diet as a concentrated source of calories to help you gain weight. While Avocados contain relative high calories, the Oleic acid contained in the MUFA’s can help to reduce one’s cravings for food and is used by the body as an energy burner, instead of the saturated fat you must have assumed it was. They also contain beta-sitosterol, a compound known to lower cholesterol levels. There are lots of health benefits attached to eating Avocados from improvement in Eye health to a glowing skin tone. Avocados can be eaten with almost anything, but for a healthy diet, I would recommend eating them with Salmons, Wheat brea
