Creamy Cumin Chicken Linguine

March 18, 2020 / Kaluhi / 41 Comments

I am a pasta slave! In any and every shape it comes in, I will totally and willfully bow at it’s glory. There are over 350 types of pasta in existence, about 30 being most common, and in this country, Spaghetti is the most common pasta type. Some people say all types of pasta taste the same, but the real ones know each type does taste different and they all bring something different to the table. Each type of pasta tastes different because they carry sauce differently, pair different with specific sauces, must be cooked a certain way for a specific time and the starchiness breaks down different in a mouthful. My top three favorite types of pasta are penne, lasagna and linguine. And for today, I am letting my queen linguine shine!! I gave you a sneak peak of this on twitter in January and the day is finally here that you too get to indulge in this beauty.

It is saucy, it is creamy, it is rich, it is meaty and it is unforgettable!!

Mango Cucumber Chicken Salad

As it always is this time of year, I will always find an excuse to stuff a mango in my mouth! Be it eating 7 in one sitting or using them in numerous creative recipes, I will always find a way to have my daily dose of mango. Each year during mango season, we always make a couple of recipes with this bomb fruit. I made this twitter thread to make it easy for you to follow through my mango recipes, and today we add another one!

I always say this time and time again, the best salads in the universe are always created here at Kaluhi’s Kitchen! My salad playlist is true testament to that, and we add my cucumber mango chicken salad to that. You will love it!

Chicken salad with Honey Mustard dressing

November 27, 2019 / Kaluhi / 4 Comments

Ushawai keti tu hivi na unaskia kukula kitu tamu lakini haujui nini?? That is exactly what I was feeling a few hours before I went into developing this salad. I wanted something sweet yet not like a cake. I wanted something meaty but not necessarily a burger ( I love me a good burger! Don’t get me wrong!!) I wanted something light but filling as well! That meant that I just had to make a salad! I just had to!! I had some chicken in my freezer, took that out, marinated it and put a hold on my cravings to be satisfied the next day.

And boy oh boy! Weren’t they not satisfied so spectacularly!!! My chicken salad with a honey mustard dressing ticked all the boxes, excited my taste buds and filled my tummy!! This is so perfect and I cannot wait for you to fall inlove with it as well!

Lemon Pepper Chicken Thighs with Honey Ukwaju BBQ Sauce

December 31, 2018 / Kaluhi / 0 Comments

What a brilliant year 2018 has been!! For me, it has been the year of becoming, settling into myself and growing into my full potential. It has been a year of self growth, coming face to face with uncomfortable truths about myself, learning and unlearning those that are malleable, and becoming an overall better person. It has been a year where I have become deliberately present for my friends, and finding time to catch up in the midst of work, starting families and travel. It has been a year of delicious financial gain and tangible growth of my brand. There has been plenty of self-assertion and no taking of bullshit especially from twitter trolls. It has been a wild, thrilling ride of self discovery that I am thankful for- because it has set the stage for the incredible person I am blossoming into in the years to come!

To send off this brilliant year is an equally brilliant recipe- my lemon pepper chicken thighs in my honey ukwaju bbq sauce. Crazy easy to make and it is so good that your eyes will be rolling to the back of your head with each juicy, meaty bite!! Let’s get to it!
