Scalloped potatoes with Spinach, bologna sausages and Philly cream cheese

I had some scalloped potatoes at an Italian restaurant served with steak. It tasted so good, i had to  replicate with my own twist. Here is scalloped potatoes made like quiche but moist in and crunchy on the top and a little sweet. There's spinach, bologna cheese, cream cheese"(her and garlic),whole cream, eggs, a pinch of sugar. I missed the nutmeg flavoring because i was out of nutmeg. 

In the picture below, served with poached pear slices.{this is usually a dessert feature... blame my current craving at the time :)}

Kitchen Chronicles during my absence.

Hey guys!! 

 I missed you, and blogging, i sure hope you missed me too. Its been a whole 16 days!, i have never been away for so long, but i'm here to make it up to you ;). What happened? well, I was entertaining members of my family over the past 2 weeks. They also happen to have traveled from far and wide, it was an important time or period in my life (I graduated!)... thank you, thank you :). I hope you all have been great; and to where it applies happy memorial day in arrears :). Regardless of things, we still have to eat right? so here's a toast to my kitchen chronicles during this period of absence. 

so sit back, relax and Enjoy.

Day 1: 3 people dining
Sese Plantains: This is a typical Cameroonian dish, made with unripe or semi ripe plantains. Mine are unripe, made with cow skin and smoked fish. Its a really easy process, but i'd like to blog the recipe when i make the dish on its own.
Fresh garden veggies stir fry with chicken breast: These days, i feel like i cannot make a meal without a side of veggies, that must be a good thing.
Aged chicken: Its almost like a delicacy, its sold in the Asian super market where i live. This plate is steamed in spices and over broiled on a tray to reduce excess fat. Its really tasty and healthy, and the spicier the better. ;)
Tomato pepper sauce: Spicy enough to be a pepper sauce but also not too spicy that it could be used as a sauce to go with the rice. the green leaf is a bay leaf. ;)
The rice: The stock from the steamed chicken was used to boil the rice so it could be eaten as is.

The Desert: A parfait; freshly baked vanilla cake chopped, fresh strawberries chopped and pure vanilla bean ice cream (store bought). I layered it as in the picture, 2 layers per goodies. I then set it to cool in the fridge... The cake ends up being moist with ice cream and the strawberries.. don't even get me started... yum yum yum.

Day 3: 4 people dining- Late night After a busy day

Sauteed Green beans: My sister made these, parboiled and sauteed in onions, soy, garlic, salt and black pepper. just enough crunch left... yummy.

Baked potatoes: Par boiled potatoes, rubbed in table butter and sour cream and then baked, easy and healthier than frying. Also, a little tip, if you want them out of the oven with the crispy crust as though they were fried, skip the sour cream. :)

Aged chicken: Its almost like a delicacy, its sold in the Asian super market where i live. This plate is steamed in spices and over broiled on a tray to reduce excess fat. Its really tasty and healthy, and the spicier the better. ;) Same as above! hehe

Tomato pepper sauce: Spicy enough to be a pepper sauce but also not too spicy that it could be used as a sauce to go with the rice. the green leaf is a bay leaf. ;). Same one as above!

The rice: Plain white rice, my mom has a thing for plain rice :)

 My Plate :)

Porridge Pototoes

I never buy potatoes when i do groceries because i don't like frying food. Whenever i do, they always go bad on me. I decided to make porridge potatoes (i think canadians would say this is a stew ...lmao: wonder how possible that is).. 

• Peal the potatoes and chop them up, 
• Cook tomatoes and onions like you would for an actual stew for rice.
• When its time to put in your stock from you boiled choice of protein; i.e meat or fish or goat or whatever it is, put in your chopped potatoes as well. 
• When your potatoes are almost there add in your choice of vegetables, spinach or African greens, whichever you please. I had some dry bitter leaves from home. so i put about a hand full...the taste together was delightful. (i mean the bitterness). 
• Put in your crayfish if you want it to taste more African too :)...i didn't because i had goat n dry fish(that's a lot for African flavor lol)
• This meal is very light as well---& so; easy digestion

...it was so hard to get a good picture, sorry :)

Roasted tiny Mackerel fish and Bling LG

I am leaving my apartment pretty soon and i really like my kitchen, so i feel like i should go on a cooking spree for any and everyone till my freezer gets empty...haha jk.

So croolooo(suzy) is in town and we have had brunch and this sweet lunch for her. Roasted fish, roasted with fish sauce and potatoes(done like my mama)--boiled and then fried...cant get better..and Kale(see below)

Cameroonians NB----> Kale if cooked like Njama Njama..taste exactly like it...and if cooked like green taste exactly like it. Just how tofu takes the taste of whatever it is cooked with, thats how i see kale..try it as a substitute guys...for those abroad :)---MY SISTER FOUND IT..LAURA IS ALWAYS SEARCHING IN THE GROCERY STORE FOR WHAT LOOKS AND TASTE LIKE STUFF BACK HOME--GENIUS!

The sauce is just fresh pepper, onions, garlic,tomatoes,NJAngsa( its a Cameroonian nut like spice..i don't know how to spell it man..haha) it is meant for fish. Also add Maggi, salt, achu spices(tiny bit), black and white pepper, some spring onions too if you would like.... yum!!!

I have a bundle of myondo in my freezer but i dont want to touch it..like an antique(stupid) haha <3 <3
