Popular Nigerian street food often eaten with pepper sauce or other sauces. This is a very nostalgic food cause I enjoyed it so much  in my Junior secondary school at every break.

Hello fitfams! As a food blogger I make both way my take is if truly we want to eat healthy then let's make it complete by not adding "processed" food. Salad should be healthy isn't it?  And this was made with a twist. In the recipe below I gave adequate details concerning each ingredients used.

Moin-moin can be buttery and fluffy. A popular bean meal made into pudding often taken as breakfast, lunch or dinner as the case may be. This basic process involves you peeling and grinding the bean into a paste.

This simple method of roasting peanut which  I was able to wrap my head and magical fingers around I tell you really worked obviously if it didn't I wouldn't be sharing the procedure. It's oven roasted, crunchy and delicious. I got this peanuts from a friend in the north. I know we all wonder if it's either called peanuts or groundnut you've got no problem the two can be used interchangeably. To be specific  peanut is also known as the groundnut, goober, or monkey nut, and scientifically under the taxonomy classification it is called Arachis hypogaea, Peanut is a legume crop grown mainly for its edible seeds. It is widely grown in the tropics and subtropics regions.
