Mango Blackberry Mocktail

February 19, 2020 / Kaluhi / 8 Comments

Finally the sun is out as it really should be in what is typically our hot season! January was shockingly cool, and even more startling, rainy!! I love sunny weather and not that the sun is out in full glory, you bet I will be going for more walks to soak it in. Heck, I am completing this blog post from the back yard, on my leso and in the sun. What I wish I had too is this mango blackberry mocktail, that I made a few weeks back and am literally salivating at, and really missing and I get this post finished for you guys to try it out as well.

This is super simple, but I know you are really going to enjoy this!!

Sweet Chili Whiskey Loaded Hotdog

February 14, 2020 / Kaluhi / 18 Comments

I made this recipe on a whim last year September. My sister was having her boyfriend over and she demanded (literally) that I fix them a snack while they watch their movie. I was not in the mood for cooking, and I wanted to make it quick but yummy therefore hotdogs -with my own twist- fit the bill! I walked you through my Instagram stories as I fixed this and you guys wend crazy over it!!! I honestly did not expect that lol, but I was pleased you guys loved it.

Today I am craving that very recipe I very passively put together that ended up being so highly viewed and shared on my Instagram stories. The sexy, meaty, indulgent, unforgettable sweet chili whiskey loaded hotdogs will become your next addiction!!

Mango Cucumber Chicken Salad

February 5, 2020 / Kaluhi / 22 Comments

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!

Red Wine Braised Honey Pork Ribs

December 5, 2019 / Kaluhi / 56 Comments

How fast has 2019 flown by?!! It has been a beautiful decade and an amazing year which I feel is culminating into the new decade with lots of promise and success. 2020 smells like wealth. It sounds like joy and laughter. It feels like going through challenges with grit, resilience and coming out the other side stronger, shinier and wiser. I have been looking back on the past decade and I am so happy about my growth and dumbfounded by the unexpected twist and turns of life and how everything just falls in place. I would have never guessed that me, a BCOM finance student would end the decade as the best Food Blogger in the country! I would have never guessed that the things I was so insecure about in 2010 about my body, would be my absolute favorite ones at the end of the decade. Everything just works out, and in hindsight, the most random twists make sense! I am so excited about the path ahead.

I know that paragraph is so not related to what today’s recipe is about lol, but now let us get into it. It is rainy and most of us are indoors, and it is a great time to go within and take stock. As we reflect on the past decade, please do so while chowing down my red wine braised honey pork ribs. For sure, the best you will ever have.

Best Beef Pilau In The Universe!!!

November 6, 2019 / Kaluhi / 31 Comments

Happy New Month guys!!!

Heh! Si this year imekimbia!! Just one moment ago we were celebrating the new year and here we are wrapping it up. 2019 for me has been a year of immense mental self-improvement. It has been the year of the shadows of my inner child being dredged up and demanding to be dealt with and healed. 2019 has been the year I finally started savoring and deeply enjoying being single. 2019 has had me make some big girl purchases and making big girl investments *aggresively flexes muscles*. Overall, it has been a dope ass year and I am looking forward to the remaining 7 weeks!

As we take in this month, take stock and reflect, let us do that while enjoying something super delicious!! On my table today is the beeeeeeest ever beef pilau! I know you will love this!

Kitunguu Matawi & White Wine Creamy Mushroom Soup

July 17, 2019 / Kaluhi / 6 Comments

A great soup is really life changing!! They are stupid easy to make, no matter how you look at it, and what I love most is how easy it is to develop flavors. I have about 15 soup recipes on this blog, each one having it’s own character and selling points. I cannot choose one favorite one coz it feels like choosing a favorite child lol. But what I can say is, I love my kitunguu matawi white wine creamy mushroom soup because of how herby it is! I love it because of the mushrooms and how filling they are. I love the creaminess! I love the mild booziness. I love everything about this!

Rosemary & Garlic Viazi Karai

June 26, 2019 / Kaluhi / 18 Comments

I loved walking home from school. Every other day, we took the bus, but on Friday, we would forgo a bus ride and instead use the fare for buying snacks and treats along the way. We would grab some sukari nguru ya 3 bob in Otiende, then viazi karai or bhajia for 5 bob at Akiba and with what’s left over- some mahindi choma or ice near SouthLands. 10 bob could really be stretched a long way, and everything we got was very much worth the walk. Now as adults and with full knowledge of how to make all these tasty things ourselves, we do just that, of course with tiny but super delicious twists. Hope you are ready for my rosemary and garlic viazi karai.
