If you are in Zimbabwe, waffles are commonly found at Creamy Inn and a couple of other places. The good thing about waffles is that you can have them in the morning with fruit and a drizzle of honey or as a dessert with ice cream and chocolate sticks as […]
Meat balls are tasty, especially those that are made with flavor such as the ones in this recipe. The two important things to keep them together and not break apart when frying are the egg and refrigerating them after you have formed the meat ball. You can have these at […]

I hadn’t made these in a very long time, in fact I think I last made them when I was in form 1 or 2 during my food and nutrition classes, LOL. My mom also used to make these for us every now and then. It’s a quick fix for […]
