Healthy eating in Nairobi: Children's healthy birthday cake

Healthy Kids Birthday cake vs. beautiful sugarly cake Sometimes as parents when we prepare our kids birthday parties we forget to think healthy, we just go for the cheaper option of picking just any cake from the store just because it is the shape of a car, doll or whatever. What scares me a lot is that Kilo of icing sugar coating that is on it. But, now, not anymore: - We choose to give our kids beautiful homemade cakes with lots of healthy love - Just know if we love healthy food and bites our kids will too - Fizzy drinks for our under 10's...no no no This is what I made last night for a friend whose daughter turns 5 today! Happy Birthday my little girl! With love from Mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See also Keeping healthy in Kenya and loving the food

Pizza Forever

Pizza step by step


I have been making Pizza at home for friends and family like for years now. I have been tempted to start a small business 'pizza kiosk' somewhere in a big city for a living. It is an idea that I have been putting off for some time now but with the passing of time I think now I need the courage to do it.

For someone who has been having the same idea as me for a Pizza delivery business the time is ripe for you to decide like I have, pick up the phone call delivery van at Car Transport Service, rentals, suppliers for various products and launch into business.

Otherwise, you will keep cooking for you and friends and never have a chance to make a coin while the world out there is looking for people who can open up and cook healthy foods for them.

Pizza making: Easy simple healthy pizza recipe

:

for 500g of flour I use 25g cube of fresh yeast I mix first the yeast with some warm water, olive oil, and salt then the flour. Make the dough. Leave it to rest for atleast 2 hours covered with a kitchen cloth as shown above.
Then after 2 hours when you are ready to make your pizza, work the dough well, divide it into parts as shown.

Roll each ball to fit your pizza pan, I don't have any special pizza pan so I use the pan that comes with the oven.
Then garnish your rolled pizza with tomatoe, cheese, and ready to put in the oven, will stay approximately around 7 minutes make sure while you are kneading the dough you put on the oven to allow it to get enough hot.
Enjoy your pizza!
