Lately.. more like for the past year my mid section has been "slowly" expanding fwd. Its was cute for a while but iz now alarming. So as a new year resolution I decided to start eating healthier  . For a start is to try cooking for myself. I am a bachelor you see and my diet mainly consists of two or three food groups. white, brown and frosty. I'd like us share some simple home cooked recipes for me to dabble with after work. To begin with I have always wanted to cook Omena.. anyone know a good recipe for that?  "If you understand, things are just as they are; if you do not understand, things are just as they are"

Always thought I could make a good cook but never got past baking. Also keen to follow this thread on simple recipes - second chances.

sorry i dont do scientific cooking (XYZ kgs of this n that, abc litres of watever) but try these:
Quick meals:
- Get raw sausage, chop into small slices. Fry onions and tomatoes
add the chopped sausages and cook lightly until a thick gravy is
obtained.Do not add water, but let the cooking be light till
sausage is cooked.Serve with Ugali, steamed spinach/sukuma fried
in tomatoes,with golden fried onion rings on a side plate,
- Get eggs, bread crumbs and chicken mguus from a supermarket.The
egg helps the breadcrumps stay on the kuku till it is done and
also gives it an appetizing glden brown look,
- Mala na Ugz is quick to make.Haiya, u can even get a slice of ugz
at your local kayosk for 20-30/= (blessed are u if u live near a
butchery?
- Get hamburgers/chicken burger from a supermarket for less than
200/= and cook as you wish - mostly fry,
BTW, can someone tell me: Is matumbo white or red meat?

@Intelli, Aiii.....Sasa hiyo ni cooking gani?...I know my cooking skills don't go beyond boiling eggs but i can't say that is healthy cooking. @Kissed, Omena recipe??....Ngai Mwathani!!...Katakata kitunguu,some tomatoes and throw them on the pan plus the omenas.Kindly do not heat your pan with a torch.Haki,i am a basket case when it comes to cooking. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

lol, you can tell the married chaps from the single dudes like yours truly. BTW omena is pretty bitter if not boiled prior to frying. every single man should "cram" atleast 2 receipes. simple stuff that will wow the skirt off any lass. so here goes mine. diced kuku kienyeji, cut up a large onion, tomato, chilli, throw kila kitu in a sufuria. medium heat, no oil as the kuku is kinda oily anyway. after 45 mins, weka spice and dania. in a separate sufuria, weka 1 small cup of rice, and 2 cups of water. low heat. everything will be ready to eat in another 25 or so minutes. you could cut up an onion, soak in hot salted water to remove the zing, then cut up a nice juicy tomato, dania, pili pili and add lemon to make great kachumbari. i promise you after she devours that meal, she will willingly hang her you know what kwa ile msumari iko kwa bathroom. you should also learn how to make boiro. any red meat, onion, tomato, peeled potatoes, cabbage/spinach, chilli and abit of spice. put everything in a sufuria, add abit of water and bring to a slow boil. serve after about 60 minutes. finally, if you have DSTV, try watch the cookng channel inbetween those footie games, you will learn something.

@mereggae/guka - kumbe hata mala ni furaaae lol! But u r both right those can't be everyday receipes.
Seriously though, food for bachelors nowadays is a much simpler affair - the butchery katakatas the meat, mama mboga does the same with potatoes, sukuma and carrots. Chapos are available even in supermarkets, as well as dried vegetables. In some decent places u can even get githeri.Never before has the choice been that wide.
Where r the mamas they contribute?

Some of us just want to focus on white meat, so someone tell:
Matumbo is white or red meat?
