INTRODUCTION

Because we'll not stop talking about food. Because it's a contest,here is my typical three square meal for a day
BREAKFAST
My breakfast is Porridge Yam
Prepared by me
Cost of making it
Yam=800NGN(6.7 steem)
Vegetables=100NGN(0.8 steem)
Tomatoes=200NGN(1.6steem)
Onions=50NGN(0.4 steem)
Knorr cubes=20NGN(0.1 steem)
Palm oil=200NGN(1.6 steem)
Crayfish=200NGN(1.6steem)
Total= 1570NGN(13.1steem)
How to prepare
- Peel your yam and cut into desired sizes but if you want to get enough porridge make the sizes small
- Wash,put in a pot and start cooking
*Take care of your ingredients:wash and cut your vegetables, tomatoes,onions. - While the yam is on boil,add your crayfish and allow it to boil
- While the yam is almost soft,add your palm oil, tomatoes, onions and knorr cubes.
- When those ingredients have cooked well enough, check for salt and add to taste
- Stir together and add your vegetables,cook for 1 minute or less depending on the level of heat you're using
- Turn up the whole dish and serve yourself.
Why I love the meal
Yam is rich in carbohydrates. Which gives us enough energy to go about our activities. The other ingredients complimenting it like the green leaf, tomatoes and onions are rich in vitamins such as A,B,C and E which is also important for the body.
Porridge Yam is a tasty meal too. So I'm not only eating healthy, I'm also enjoying my healthy meal.
LUNCH
My lunch is Jollof rice and moi-moi with yoghurt
The Jollof rice was prepared by me but the moi-moi was from an eatery
Why I love it
Rice is another source of carbohydrates. We cannot do our daily activities without energy from carbohydrates. Moi-moi is made from beans which is a good source of protein which we need for growth and repair of worn put tissues and iron. Yoghurt is also made up of proteins and calcium which is good for our bones. The combination tastes good,you should try it sometime.
DINNER
My dinner is Vegetable soup and garri
Prepared by me
Why I love it
The ingredients used in preparing the soup like stockfish, crayfish etc are rich in proteins. The vegetable itself is a good source of vitamin A which is good for a clearer eyesight,improve skin and hair growth and vitamin C which helps our wounds to heal when we get hurt. Garri is a good source of carbohydrates. I also love vegetable soup because it make me sleep well more than any other meal. I don't think I can go a week without eating it,can you?
CONCLUSION
This is my food post for this week. Let's all keep eating healthy food to live. Thanks for reading.
