Eating healthily all the time isn't the easiest thing to do. We have busy schedules that don't always allow us to make healthy choices, and some healthy foods just don't taste as good.

The other thing that makes healthy eating difficult is finding recipes that fit our budget. You may have some interesting and delicious-looking meals that you would like to try, but often they involve fancy ingredients that are just too expensive to keep up with.

The way around this is to look for easy and affordable meals that you can make at least once a day or every other day without feeling the financial pressure. Here are a few simple and healthy meals to get you on the right track right from the start of your day:
As you know, eggs are a protein-rich and nutrient-packed meal. They might be basic but they boast a long list of health perks that could keep certain diseases away.

You could easily find an egg even at a local kiosk for just a few shillings. For breakfast, you could try a boiled egg sandwich on some whole-meal bread, along with other simple ingredients like onions, coriander leaves and your favourite seasonings to add more flavour.

Spinach smoothie
A healthy breakfast list isn’t complete without a breakfast smoothie. The wide variety of smoothie combinations gives room for people looking to find some budget-friendly options as well as people who often have busy mornings.
You could give yourself a veggie boost by trying a fruity spinach smoothie. Choosing a fruity blend in the morning gives it that refreshing breakfast feel as compared to something more savory like a peanut butter and spinach blend. Experiment with different fruits to come up with your own go-to recipe.
Greetings Friends 😍

LETS TALK MEATPIE..

* Don't knead your meatpie, use your thumb to bring them together.

* Do not use room temperature water to mix except you are putting the dough back in fridge, always make the dough with chilled water.

* Use enough margarine for your dough ratio should be 2:1, flour 2, margarine 1.

* Do not roll your dough too thin it would likely make your meatpie to burst open.

* Pop your dough in fridge from time to time when you notice it's becoming stretchy, you don't want to have a hard meatoie after all.

* If your aim is to have a flaky pie, make use of minimal cornflour.

* Do not overwork your dough, please it will definitely affect the texture and the look of your meatpie.

* Go easy on spicing the filling, meatpie detects salty taste fast.

* Always allow the filling to cool, if possible let it be very cold.

* Do not bake your meatpie at low heat

Everybody looks okay until you have a deep conversation with them Then you realise that this is a generation of people struggling to survive through smiling faces and pretty pictures. People are going through a lot in silence. Do not be swift to judge. Mind what you say to people. Show people more love and less hate. Keep reaching out to people in the little way you can. Do not ignore people in their lowest state. A little word of advice, encouragement and support will go a long way. If you cannot be of help, please leave people as they are, do not worsen their situation. God bless us all
