Hello my wonderful TCW friends, it has been a minute 😂😂. No apologies though as I made a decision a while back to focus more on my family and slot blogging in if I had the time and energy to do so. Being in quaro has it's benefits I kid you not. The boys and I have travelled the world with our eyes watching netflix shows and I can unashamedly tell you all that we have come to a conclusion that bollywood movies are so bad, they are good. We are hooked 😂😂. </div>

With time being on my side, today I decided to take photos of this peanut sauce and share the recipe with you all. It is very hot and also very yummy. I usually have a jar in the fridge as it goes well with any meat and can add a bit of extra deliciousness to your meal. Are you sold yet??? Scroll down for the recipe. </div>

Hello everyone! HA! I can't believe it's almost the end of 2018 already. Well they say time flies when you are having fun. Don't entirely agree with that statement though. Sometimes things happen and you lose yourself for a bit and by the time you fully awaken to the reality of it all, a big chunk of time seems to have evaporated just like that. </div>

Hello TCW readers and recipe lovers. Hope you are all trying your best in this chaos of a world we live in now. Today I am sharing a recipe from the motherland Sierra Leone and it's a special request from one of my readers. What I love about Sierra Leonean recipes is the simplicity of it all. Just a few ingredients put together with love and you are done. </div>

Hello TCW readers! How are you all doing? Hope you are winning at whatever you've put your mind to. Guys let's take a minute and talk about how stressful life has become in this twenty first century. Even trying to live a simple life is stressful because before you know it, you have accumulated more junk than what you threw away a few months ago. I cannot tell you how many times I have gone to the shops for grocery only to buy that cute pot that I know exactly what I am going to cook in it, only for it to end up in the store keeping company with the other cute pots that I have never used. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

If you have been stopping by ever so often here you'd know that I took up sewing as a hobby and I must say I am still loving it. In fact today's dress is one of my creations made using McCall's pattern M6028. I found this pattern a bit difficult to sew but the challenge was worth it in the end. The only visible mistake is how I failed to match the flowers at the back of the dress when I was cutting it out. </div>

Hello TCW foodies! Before I go any further, please do yourself a favour and cook this cake because you will not regret it. This soft apricot cake with apricot glaze is all sorts of deliciousness on a plate. This is that close your eyes and savour the goodness kind of cake, I kid you not. This cake came out of the oven and my sensible eating plan went straight out of the window😏👧. Can you blame me? <br />

Hi TCW readers! How are you all doing? Hope 2018 has started well for you and your family. My resolve this year is to live with intention, be deliberate in my actions for my own self development. I am going to do the simple things well.Spend more time with Eleven during school holidays and also love and be there for my family more. </div>

Guuuuuys (in my Oprah voice 😁😁) if I had known earlier how enjoyable sewing can be I would have headed down this road a long time ago. Anyway, I have started and the journey is amazing. Pattern reading is so fun and I am sure my Ankara fabric suitcase has noticed that something is happening all of a sudden. So I made this outfit which I wore to church today using McCall's pattern M7356 for the top and Newlook pattern 6130 for the pant. The best part is that le Hubs is not complaining because I am not spending too much money on clothes although I had cut down drastically on clothes shopping anyway.</div>

</div>
Happy New Year TCW readers! Welcome 2018! Your older brother 2017 was good so I hope you will continue the family tradition and be great! My plan for 2018 is to stay focused and appreciate the little and simple things in life. Sounds simple right, but it's easier said than done.<br />
<br />
If you have been reading my blog for a while you would know that I took up sewing as a hobby and I am loving it. I made this pink ankara dress using simplicity pattern 1011. For someone who three months ago could not sew straight even if my life depended on it to reading patterns and sewing without any help, I am very happy with my progress and as you can see I did pretty well with the dress. I pick up things really quickly however there are some things that I just can't get my head around like maths which is still frustrating the hell out of me. What drives you nuts? I teamed this dress with my trusty old sandals from wittner. You like?? <br />
<br />
Thanks for reading, stay blessed and see you soon at your blog space!<br />

</div>
Hello TCW readers! Two months into my sewing classes and I am loving it. Why didn't I start sooner? It is so addictive or perhaps I am just impatient and when I take on something, I want to do it well in the shortest time possible. <br />
<br />
So how have you all been doing? Can't believe it's almost Christmas already. It was only a few days ago that I was wishing everyone happy new year and 2017 is already on it's way out. It feels like the earth is rotating around the sun just a little faster now and we are just speeding along with our daily duties. 2017 like every other year have brought with it lots of joys and a handful of challenges but through it all lessons have been learnt and I am thankful that I am well and I have my family around me.<br />
<br />
How cool is my skirt!!!!! This is another DIY and I am really glad with how it turned out. I styled it with my top from Piper (old) and shoes from Wittner (old). <br />
<br />
Thank you for stopping by to read my blog, enjoy your week and stay blessed.<br />

</div>
Hello TCW readers and food lovers! Today I am bringing you a street food recipe from my childhood. A deep fried fish pie so delicious it is worth trying on the weekend or for any gathering or party. I can assure you it will be the talk of party. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L3VZlVARy6g/WgD7ROs8vLI/AAAAAAAAdmw/rARXc1kmJzkd4Aqbwoq2pf_Zx9RC8Uj3gCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG-20171106-WA0012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L3VZlVARy6g/WgD7ROs8vLI/AAAAAAAAdmw/rARXc1kmJzkd4Aqbwoq2pf_Zx9RC8Uj3gCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG-20171106-WA0012.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zMjDZjhvvmk/WgD7HkDppYI/AAAAAAAAdmQ/Jr2mybwx8UocfwewRd9esLSy6sa3HIwiACLcBGAs/s1600/20171106_162246.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zMjDZjhvvmk/WgD7HkDppYI/AAAAAAAAdmQ/Jr2mybwx8UocfwewRd9esLSy6sa3HIwiACLcBGAs/s1600/20171106_162246.jpg" /></a></div>
The ingredients I used are: <b>Filling</b>: 1kg barramundi fillets (any fish will do) , 1 habanero chili, 4 royco stock cubes, 1 medium sized brown onion, 1 tbs peanut butter (this is optional, I like the flavor it gives the filling), 2 tbs tomato paste, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 thumb sized ginger (not in photo) 4 tbs oil. <b>Pastry</b>: 4 cups plain flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt, 3/4 cup water, 100 gms room temperature butter.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wulRmay42I8/WgD7JtO_YhI/AAAAAAAAdmY/dDHltOh09lEL7TQIGVLhqjz0Ezq31i16QCLcBGAs/s1600/20171106_162611.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wulRmay42I8/WgD7JtO_YhI/AAAAAAAAdmY/dDHltOh09lEL7TQIGVLhqjz0Ezq31i16QCLcBGAs/s1600/20171106_162611.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Start by dry steaming the barramundi with a little bit of salt over medium heat and set aside to cool down.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
While the fish is cooling down, prepare the pastry. In a large mixing bowl mix all the dry ingredients then add the butter</div>

Hello TCW family! It's finally getting my kind of warm around here. Winter has been holding on and refusing to go like that someone you are thinking about right now as you read this 😛. Anyway, winter finally scooted out of spring's space and I am rejoicing.</div>
<div style="text-indent: 10px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-indent: 10px;">
This OOTD which I wore to church is a custom made dashiki skirt and an off the shoulder lace top from Target from last year's summer collection, all pulled together with sandals from Asos. I accessorized with these epic earrings from Lovisa and cross body bag from Big W and Versace sunnies.</div>
<div style="text-indent: 10px;">

Today's church service was great. A guest preacher taught from John 5 about the blind man at the pool of Bethesda and how Bethesda could stand for a system that over promises and under delivers and yet one feels like they are stuck and keep waiting in the queue for their turn. It doesn't have to be this way. It was such a beautiful and motivational sermon which blessed me.</div>
<div style="text-indent: 10px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-indent: 10px;">
Thanks for stopping by, enjoy the rest of your week and see you at your blog space. </div>

Happy Sunday TCW readers. Today's recipe is one of the easiest recipes in the world. Well any recipe that one can just leave on it's own in a slow cooker for between seven and eight hours is my kind of recipe. We felt like pub food today and I rose up to the occasion with this pulled corned beef which we had in rolls with coleslaw, chips and sweet potato crisps. </div>

Hello TCW family, long time no see. How are we all doing? Hope fantastic. I have been doing great, thanks for asking. I have had some free time lately so instead of sitting down and watching TV or just chilling after work, I have taken up sewing as a hobby and I can't have enough of it. It's been so much fun meeting other people who go mainly to wind down from all the hustle and bustle and just talk ahem I mean sew 😁😁. So my very first project was an apron. You should have seen my excitement when I completed it, ahhhh small joys.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fGnqREPWFW0/WdDBr-w2k8I/AAAAAAAAdcg/yZ19K54WPDcJma58aLxRGoOnhCV1yZD5QCKgBGAs/s1600/20170928_201617.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fGnqREPWFW0/WdDBr-w2k8I/AAAAAAAAdcg/yZ19K54WPDcJma58aLxRGoOnhCV1yZD5QCKgBGAs/s1600/20170928_201617.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I completed the apron and I felt like I could fly a plane, I am not exaggerating here at all, okay maybe just a little bit but I felt invincible, like I could do anything, anything whatsoever. Who knew learning how to make gathers would release so much feel good hormones. Aha!!! Well I had to do something with my new found small starter sewing skills and it just so happened that I had this ankara fabric at home and within two hours I had put together this skirt which I rocked to church today. Yes, I couldn't wait to tell everyone that I made it myself. I have attended four sessions so far and I am hoping the excitement will continue and I don't get bored with it anytime soon. What are some fun things that you do? Share in the comments box below.</div>

Hello TCW readers and happy father's day to all the responsible and selfless dads in the world. Today being father's day, I thought it would be great to say thanks to the hubs for all he's had to put up with from the boys and I throughout the year. I may be biased here but I kid you not, I have never met someone as chill as this man. I tell everyone that his faith is stronger than mine by tenfold. Nothing worries him much. He strongly believes that "welbodi na gentri" (health is wealth). No matter what we might be going through he would always say, as long as we are together as a family and we are all well, then it is okay and it shall pass. </div>

So this morning on our way to church, I took the camera as usual, but when we arrived at the spot where we were going to take the photos I said let me take your photos today. He was quite surprised but happy with this really small gesture. <br />

Twenty four also decided to cook something special for lunch. He made pan fried barramundi with zucchini and chorizo puree, saute mushrooms and lobster with potato nest. For dessert he made sugar free coconut chia pudding, mango jelly and fresh seasonal fruits. I must say it was an enjoyable day for Gabriel as he loves home cooked food more than going out to eat.</div>

Raise your hand if you love jerk anything ✋. You did? Then you've got a friend in me. Jerk spice my dear readers is DA BOMB!!!! Guys this roast chicken right here in all its succulent deliciousness is the best roast chicken ever, AHEM, so says the cook. Any food that will shut my sister and the boys up for a few minutes is worth it hahaha. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Normally when I cook jerk chicken I blend all the ingredients into a wet rub and season overnight however just the other day, I was watching a cooking show when someone said you have to do both dry and wet rubs so I gave it a try and O MA GAWWWD, the end result was yummo! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Have I succeeded in making you hungry already? Then scroll down for the recipe and go give it a go, it's that easy. </div>

</div>
Ankara outfits always come in handy when one is having a serious bad hair day as the one I was experiencing on Sunday. I was so busy catching up with friends on Saturday, I didn't have time to wash my hair and couldn't be bothered doing it in the morning before going to church. To be honest it was also pretty cold. Getting out of bed alone was a chore on its own. I think I had five short snoozes before eventually getting up, walking into the wardrobe and voila, just as if I had waved a magic wand, this unplanned outfit was in my hands. The hubs is still amazed at how quickly this happened because the normal procedure would have me trying a few outfits and then him and the boys will have to choose which one is most appropriate. They didn't have to go through the punishment and I think I have just shot myself in the foot because they might refuse to help out next time. <br />
<br />
TCW readers, how are you all doing? It's been a week of so much heartache around the world. The mudslides in Sierra Leone did not affect any of my relatives however no one should go in such a manner. Praying that God will comfort the families affected during this difficult time. Such events brings things into perspective for us, don't they? Till next time, do what makes you happy and live life to the fullest. xx<br />

Look after each other so that none of you fails to receive the grace of God. Watch out that non poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many. Heb. 12:15</blockquote>
<br />
Hello and welcome to TCW! How have you all been doing my lovelies? Hope you are doing great and focusing on the things that really matter and not wasting time stressing about the minor stuff. Our world today is very fast paced and one has to consciously decide upon what is important. Someone once said to me that most of us are living with a very skewed view at life as we are only looking at the Usain Bolts in our lives forgetting that without the other runners there wouldn't be a race which makes everyone in the race equally important. What I am saying here is chase your own dreams and do not be distracted by what other people are doing otherwise happiness will evade you. The scripture passage above was part of today's sermon which is a reminder to us all to stop the selfishness and look out for each other. Behind many a smile there is a whole lot of turmoil going on in the background and we cannot assume that all is well.<br />
<br />
<u>Outfit talk</u><br />
Today's weather was windy and rainy. You would not believe it just by looking at the photos but I can assure you that we only had a five minute window to take these photos after church. To keep myself warm I layered a dress over these stripped pants and topped it off with my trusty jumper. I decided to cover my head with the beret to keep my hair dry . All outfit items are old and were shopped from my wardrobe.<br />
<br />
Thank you so much for stopping by and reading, stay blessed and enjoy your week.<br />

The other day I was watching Master Chef and I heard one of the judges telling the contestants that the recipe they were about to use had one hundred and five steps. Goodness gracious me, it is just food not a car. I am pretty sure that dish would taste different and having the experience of tasting it would be worth all one hundred and fifty steps but it still sounded over the top to me and I am pretty sure I am not alone. When it comes to cooking, I like my food prepared with as little fuss as possible and this dumpling recipe is easy to prepare, delicious and healthy. </div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've had a bit of free time recently and I decided to look at what is trending this winter. As much as I make an effort to put my outfits together I do not see myself as a big time serious trendy fashionista. I'd rather say I am a dresser who has a bit of an interest in fashion. Okay, yeah as I was saying, I had a look at what was trending this winter and I found that florals are so in, its not even a joke. It just so happened that this pretty trendy outfit right here was waiting in my wardrobe and all I had to do was rock it to church today, thank you very much.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The service was great, marvelous worship and the sermon was very encouraging. It was about the many times people have thought to themselves whether Christianity was worth it and those who were thinking that they had given it a good try and it just wasn't for them. I feel that way sometimes, I struggle to understand why some things happen within the church community. I may never understand but I do know that as long as humans are making the decisions, those decision will not always be the right ones because not everyone puts themselves in the other person's shoe before making a decision or acting upon one.</div>

You all know I started this blog to make Sierra Leonean recipes great again hahahahaha, lets not go there. Sierra Leonean recipes never lost their greatness however people were not sharing them online so the world would have an insight into our cuisine. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today, I am bringing you the most popular after school snack in Sierra Leone, the ginger cake. As you can see from the photos they are biscuits but we seem to call everything with sugar and flour in them cakes 🙈🙈🙈. Street hawkers would pass by the bus stops carrying trays of freshly baked ginger cakes while we waited for our buses home or some days we would spend our bus fare on the biscuits and pile (walk) home nibbling on sweet ginger cake. These are very easy to make as with most of my recipes.</div>

</div>
Hello TCW readers, welcome, how have you been? Hope all good. So it is winter in my neck of the woods and I am not complaining. Perth winter is like British summer and my friends in Tasmania tell me Perth never experiences it. Well I'll tell you for sure that some mornings are pretty fresh and one has to be ready for such mornings. <br />
<br />
I am a big casual outfit kind of girl and I love my jumpers during the winter months. A black jumper is a must have basic in my wardrobe during winter. I don't think one can go wrong with a black over-sized jumper over jeans and heels. This is such a clean, classic, minimal look that is perfect for those coffee catch up with friends or just catching up with yourself. Your own little me time, all by yourself, out and about, window shopping and stopping for lunch and enjoying the view in a nice restaurant. We all need that sometimes. <br />
<br />
I read somewhere that we should make an effort to date ourselves, go somewhere on our own without the kids or hubs to find ourselves and re-energize our minds so that we can have the inner peace and joy needed to be there for everyone else and I said oh yeah, I am in. Have you been taking time out for yourself? Let's talk about it in the comments box. <br />

Hello TCW readers and fellow food lovers. How are you all doing? Hope all is well. Today in cooking I am sharing a simple pork roast seasoned the Sierra Leonean way and oven roasted to tender juiciness and mouth watering goodness, trust me on this one seriously. Before I go any further I must leave a disclaimer for all the passionate foodies who might want to insult me for touching the ingredients without gloves when I am wearing nail polish. Here we go: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Dear foodie, this is just a recipe which I chose to share. I have not cooked it for you. If you like what you see, please buy the ingredients and prepare it for your family with your hands washed and gloved right up to your elbow. As I share this recipe, my family is still alive and well, so thank you for your concern.😜😛😜</blockquote>
<br />
So as I was saying before my little disclaimer, this pork is easy to prepare and it is so good I bet it will become one of your favourites if you try it. In Sierra Leone we would either pot roast it or barbecue it over hot coal. <br />
