Definitely going back for their Choma and good vibes💯 #nairobirestaurants #nairobinights #motown #nyamachoma #chomajoints #restaurantsinkenya #explore #foodstagram #sherehe

  3. Home Alone kind of Sunday... The boys went swimming with their awesome Aunt @nyambura_karinga Fatigue has the better of Njoki and myself, so rest we must! Thank God for instant noodles though 🙌🙌🙌 Also found 4 uncooked chicken wings in the freezer, and some grated Mozzarella cheese in an old ice cream container... How this happened, I will never know 🤣 But these made the perfect quick fix this lazy Sunday. #noodles #chicken #wings #chickenwings #cheese

  1. Instead of going out into the streets to look for warmth, my advice? Stay home, look in the kitchen for that warmth too……. In fact the warmth you are looking for can be found in a bowl of creamy pasta!! #comfortfood #creamypasta #oystermushroom #soulfood #thevherrytomato #explore #explorereels

  2. Duck is something I can’t say I grew up eating but I have come to love it over the years. Today I give you a slight modern version of what is a traditional luhya dish. Surprise guys, we luhyas don’t only eat chicken and ugali. Our foods are very diverse and include rabbit, nuts, green bananas and cassava amongst other things … #duck #duckbreast #matoke #greenbanana #peanutsauce #luhyafood #ethiopiankale #thecherrytomato #explore #explorereels

  3. Never have I met someone that doesn’t like a good old sausage roll. I happen to absolutely love them and when I make them at home or for guests or clients, I always add my home made onion marmalade from @natesorganicske I also use sausages from @chrispycutsbacon because their sausages taste so much better than your mass produced stuff. #sausages #sausagerolls #sausage #snack #quicksnack #thecherrytomato #kenyanfoodie #africanfoodblogger #kenyanfoodblogger #africanfoodblogger #foodie #instafood #foodiesofinstagram #f52gram #instafoodie #explore #explorepage #explorereels

  1. POV : it’s the weekend and you take a mini road trip out of town . This is 📍 @the_fig_and_olive located in Tigoni . Doubles up as a cafè and farm shop . Had a lovely experience didn’t get to try out the meals but will do next time. I like to drive out of town every so often so this was a lovely experience. • • • • • • • • • #tigoni #travelphotography #explorekenya #travelkenya #tembeakenya #magicalkenya #travelwithceccy

  1. I learnt how to make chapos from YouTube videos back in 2020… From that time onwards I have made chapos ever since almost every weekend when I come home. I love how I have gotten to experiment with different ingredients and techniques… This time I tried using cowboy and wueh! I get the hype. It has the chapo za harusi flavor😂😂… But I will advise you that with Cowboy…Less is more…dont overdo. On the pan I switch to vegetable oil because It has a neutral flavor. #kenyanfoodie #chaporecipe #kenyanfoodblogger #kenyanrecipes #foodie

  2. Solo camping as a female reaffirms your self-worth and strengthens your confidence in ways that impact daily life and it brings a sense of achievement that’s hard to match. I DO NOT encourage solo camping as female because it’s risky. Myself I had my furry 🐾 friend but here are a few things I’ll do differently in my next adventure * Have a pen knife you can get one @jumiakenya and pepper spray. * Have a few lanterns especially solar powered. * Power bank, power bank, solar powered will be better. * Prepare for all sorts of weather * Tag friends or a partner if you can. What have I left behind? Tent @jumiakenya College jacket @jumiakenya

  3. @javahouseafrica will be 25yrs next month!! A whole two plus decades serving us with love and I’m so excited for the amazing offers coming with Java at 25. In the meantime, with this cold, these soups are the spoonful of comfort we all need plus they have a kids menu with coloring section to keep them occupied, an activity my cousin really enjoyed doing while having her soup.
