Good morning! ☀️ Who said a bowl of grits has to be boring? 😋

Sometimes taking breakfast to the next level isn’t about removing the foods you love—it’s about what you add to them.

I started with warm, creamy grits and built around them with fluffy eggs, sautéed greens, colorful peppers and onions, and creamy avocado. 🥑🍳🌿

Now that simple bowl of grits has protein, vegetables, healthy fats, comforting carbs, color, texture, and FLAVOR. 🙌🏾

That’s how I love to cook: taking ordinary foods and making them extraordinary while keeping balance in mind.

So the next time you make grits, don’t just ask, “What can I put ON my grits?”
Ask, “What can I ADD to build a more balanced breakfast?”

You might be surprised how far one ordinary bowl can go. ❤️

Now tell me—what do YOU like with your grits? 👀👇🏾

Ordinary ingredients. Extraordinary meals.

😂 Who said grits are only allowed at the breakfast table?!

If you don’t feel like eating a traditional bowl of grits for dinner, here’s another way to bring them to the table! 😋

Tonight, I took creamy grits and turned them into a satisfying dinner bowl with seared steak, sautéed greens, colorful peppers & onions, and creamy avocado. 🥩🥑🌿

I think that’s one of the things I love most about being a chef: taking ordinary foods and making them extraordinary—without taking away the comfort, culture, or joy. ❤️

And of course, balance is always the goal.

Protein ✔️
Vegetables + fiber ✔️
Healthy fats ✔️
Comforting carbs ✔️
Flavorrrrr ✔️😂🔥

Healthy eating doesn’t have to mean giving up the foods you love. Sometimes it’s simply about asking:

“What can I add to this plate to make it more nourishing and balanced?”

So yes… GRITS FOR DINNER! 😂🙌🏾

Ordinary ingredients. Extraordinary meals. Always with balance in mind.

Now tell me… would you eat this for breakfast, lunch, or dinner? 👀🍽️

🇹🇬 Togolese Cabbage Rice with Roasted Lamb 🌿🔥

This is the kind of meal that reminds me that nourishing food does not have to be boring. ❤️

Fragrant rice cooked with tender cabbage, carrots, onions, and herbs, then topped with beautifully roasted lamb and fresh parsley.

The cabbage and vegetables bring color, texture, and fiber, while the lamb adds satisfying protein—and together, they create a hearty meal full of flavor and culture.

Healthy eating isn’t always about removing the foods we love. Sometimes it’s about building a better plate with them. 🌱

From my Togolese kitchen to yours. 🇹🇬❤️

Would you try cabbage in your rice? 👀👇

What if we didn’t remove the banku… but simply changed the order? 👀🌿

Our traditional African foods are beautiful, flavorful, and deeply connected to culture. Healthy eating doesn’t have to mean abandoning them.

One simple practice? Add more vegetables to the plate—and start with them first.

🥬 Begin with the greens.
🐟 Follow with your protein.
🍲 Then enjoy your banku with the rest of the meal.

Vegetables provide fiber, and eating fiber-rich foods as part of a balanced meal can help slow digestion and support a steadier blood-glucose response compared with eating carbohydrate-rich foods alone.

That means the goal isn’t “Stop eating banku.”
The goal is “Build a better plate around the banku.”

Because sometimes healthier eating isn’t about changing what our ancestors gave us—it’s about learning how to balance the plate while preserving the culture. ❤️🌍

Would you try eating your greens first before your banku? 👇🏾

Today’s lunch: Togolese Abolo, elevated. 🇹🇬

I didn’t have to give up the food I grew up loving to create a more balanced meal. I simply built around it.

Today I enjoyed Abolo with sardines, a flavorful pepper-tomato sauce with onions, avocado for healthy fats, and fresh vegetables for extra fiber, color, and nutrients.

This is what I mean when I say we can honor our culture AND nourish our bodies. ❤️

Traditional food doesn’t need to disappear from our plates. Sometimes, we simply need to be intentional about what we add alongside it.

Same Togolese food. More balance. Still delicious. 😋🇹🇬

What traditional food would you love to see me turn into a balanced plate next? 🌍

Good morning, West Africa! 🌍❤️

This morning I was craving a taste of home—warm Hausa koko with golden puff-puff. 😋

I believe we can enjoy the traditional foods we grew up loving without leaving them behind in our wellness journey. The goal isn’t to take away our culture; it’s to build a more balanced plate around it.

So alongside my puff-puff and millet koko, I’m adding eggs for protein, nuts and seeds for healthy fats and additional protein, and fresh fruit for fiber, vitamins, and color.

Same African food. Same joy. Just a little more intentional balance. 🌿

This is what nourishing our bodies while honoring our culture can look like.

Remember those crispy Lemon-Ginger Garlic Wings? 🍋🍗
They came back tonight—but this time with my colorful Crunchy Quinoa Cabbage Salad.

Cabbage, carrots, fresh herbs, green onions, quinoa and that delicious homemade dressing… add the leftover wings and BOOM. Dinner is done. 🙌🏾

Healthy eating doesn’t always mean cooking another meal from scratch. Sometimes it’s simply learning how to reinvent what you already have.

♻️ One meal. New combination. Less waste. More flavor.
