I ate breakfast and dinner today. The breakfast was Beans with Boiled Yam while the dinner was Chicken Pepper Soup.

The first meal of the day is beans and yam. The bean and yam is a combination of both beans that is adequately prepared and yam that has been peeled and boiled to the required level.

The preparation of the beans involves getting the required quantity of beans desired. Then removing any unwanted substance (such as stones, insects) from the beans. After that you go and wash it with clean water.

After washing the beans, you now put it in a pot of water and heat it up. After like 45 mins when the beans is getting soft, you put ingredients like onions, pepper, salt, cubes, and red oil. Then leave it to boil for another 20-25 mins. Then your beans is ready.

For the yam, you just peel a tuber of yam, then cut it into bit size of your choice, then you wash it with clean water and boil. When boiling you can sprinkle a little bit of salt (that's if you want to).

The second meal of the day is chicken pepper soup. It is a type of soup which contains a lot of liquid and flavor in it with much pepper and chick bits in the liquid.

The preparation of the chicken pepper soup involves first getting the chicken and the cutting it into bit size. After that, you soak the chicken bits with water and salt, to remove dirt from it and bad smell. After that you wash it again with clean water and salt to make it ready for consumption.

I enjoyed the chicken pepper soup more than the beans and yam. The chicken pepper soup obviously has more taste than the beans and yam. It has one of my favorites–Chicken!

Both food provides proteins in abundance because they involve beans and chicken. The beans and yam combo gives a balanced diet because it produces carbohydrates from the yam.

I am not opportuned to eat three meals for the day, so in this contest I will be dropping only two. Because it is my daily routine to eat twice everyday.

Usually I eat in the morning and at night. I'm not always at home to eat in the afternoon. And even if I'm at home it is just part of the day to eat twice and not really think about eating in the afternoon.
