    My Holiday Cocktail Experiments( and a few Lessons in Balance): A series!!!

    January 7, 2026 / 0 Comments

    I’ve always loved to experiment with food and apparently, I’m learning my way around cocktails too!!! I’m the kind of person who treats recipes as suggestions, follow them once to get a feel of the logic, and then let my own inspirations take over. More spice here, a thicker consistency there. A different oil, a different herb. For me, food is about curiosity, intuition, and discovering what truly suits your palate. Until recently, that curiosity stopped at the plate; alcohol had never really made it into that experimental space. It’s always been something to order, pour, or enjoy, but never something to explore. So I decided to change that over…

    Don’t Forget to Hydrate!

    January 21, 2023 / 0 Comments

    Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!!! Fasting can leave you all exhausted and ready to give up on life activities. These limitations can manifest in the form of fatigue, headaches, dry mouth, nausea, and thirst. However, the goal of fasting is not to keep you from your daily activities rather it is to just keep you from your flesh-inspired activities. A lot of research has shown that, hydration is a critical part of any successful intermittent fast. The only challenge for me is I am one of those people who aren’t comfortable with intermittent water fast. Trust me there is no scripture against this, just my preferences. However, this comes with its own…

    Chuck steak is always considered the low-value steak, the last preference but there is just so much you can do with it. Its variety of use without necessarily ruining its taste or the dish is what makes it so ideal for a low-budget season. Just because you are saving doesn’t mean you shouldn’t enjoy tasty and healthy food. Below is a recipe of what a Chuck steak and a little bit of some fresh herbs can do. Enjoy your #KitchenExperiments. Ingredients Recipe Bon Appetite!!

    Zucchini and Eggplant Pasta

    January 2, 2023 / 0 Comments

    One of my 2023 goals is to save as much money as I can by cutting expenditures on literally everything. This sounds like a dream right? Well, not so much for me because I love food and trying out new restaurants or new menus the same way I love making/experimenting with the food my kitchen. The only problem with my unrestrained love for food is exactly that it is unrestrained. Most of my expenses are somewhat food-related. It could be trying new restaurants, new menu additions at old places or just buying crazy amounts of groceries so I can experiment in the kitchen myself. However, this is Zimbabwe and this…
