Yesterday was another special day for me since I was able to delight myself with some tasty home made meals.
The cost of foodstuff in the market is beyond imagination and while we are all managing these times it is really much better to prepare your meals at home rather than join the train of those who eat out.
Since we have our barns and stores with harvested foods, we could either chose to cook it the local way and enjoy the meals or spend extra money buying food from the restaurants.
A plate of rice with a piece of chicken is sold within the range of $3.5 and above depending on location. And so is the price for a plate of yam porridge and the likes.
We are forgetting heritage since the advent of these restaurant but when you see foods been prepared like this, I remember our villages and villagers who still enjoy this kind of healthy meals.
This is just how we enjoy roasted yams and likewise corn which we equally roast and enjoy right from the day of harvest in the farms.
This is the simplest meal you can ever make.
placing some yams directly over a coal flames that heats this up until it is properly cooked.
Usually I was afraid of carbon gas from burning woods we often used in the past but this is more healthy since the charcoal doesn't produce too much of that smoke.
We get to enjoy the yams with home made palm oil as well and this is very cost efficient and less expensive comparing to the ones sold at the restaurant.
Besides all you can get there is highly spiced up meals of which most times I do not like too much of spiced foods.
I will have to save myself some few dollars exploring and cooking our harvested food products.
