Spicy Shrimp Tacos
I know, I know ... yet another taco recipe! This one has an added twist - it combines spicy shrimp with a creamy cabbage slaw! The cabbage slaw helps to balance out the heat from the shrimp, so you can heap on more cabbage if you don't love the heat ...
Mango Chili Chicken
This mango chili chicken recipe is a great way to combine summertime fruit with my favorite cooking method - grilling! The mango helps to cut the heat from the chili and peppers in the recipe, while leaving you with juicy, tender, char-grilled chicken! Let's Cook:
Shrimp Fried Rice
This is my mom's special fried rice recipe. She'd make this on birthdays, Christmas day, and any other special occasions. I have very fond memories of sitting around the table with my family, eating fried rice with plantains and grilled chicken. Let's Cook:
Pepper Soup
The ultimate comfort food, especially in the wintertime - pepper soup is a flavorful broth filled with tender chunks of meat or fish.

Efo Riro
Efo Riro (Nigerian Spinach Stew) is one of the simplest but tastiest soups native to Western Nigeria. Efo means ”Green (leafy) vegetable”, and riro means ”to stir”. Put together, efo riro means ”stirred leafy vegetable”. The name is slightly misleading, given that the vegetables are stirred into a rich pepper sauce loaded with beef, fish, and anything else you can think of adding. Let's Cook:
Spicy Suya Grilled Cheese
The ultimate comfort food! This recipe has 2 of my favorite things - spicy marinated beef and warm melty ooey-gooey cheese getting together in the best possible way! It's relatively easy to throw together and works perfectly for cold nights when you're hungry but don't want to make anything too fussy.
