Celebrating Tomato!!!
How do you like your tomato? Grilled, raw or cooked?Ā
Tomatoes are awesome vegetables like that, so I am dedicating this month of February to eating tomatoes daily.
I have been eating it raw and spicing it up with some herbs, spices and other stuff.
The health benefits are quite many but I leave that to the nutritionists to analyse, a little bird just told me it helps men with their prostrate and subsequent performance when duty calls.šš
Join me on this tomato journey in the month of February.
I haven’t blogged in a long while, well life happened to me, my beautiful wife, Dr (Mrs) Olubusayo Ibiyemi Kolawole passed away on the 6th of July 2016, it was such a great loss to me and the family, so that kept me away from blogging.
This post is dedicated to all cancer patients and victims all over the world, we love you and will always stand by you.

Healthy Food Options in Lagos Pt. 2
It gladdens my heart to see that the Lagos food scene has evolved this much. This is super awesome.
A couple of months have gone by and Iām happy to report that Iāve discovered even more healthy food options in the city of Lagos!
First on the listā¦

Honeydew froyo with fruit toppings and a wafer straw
Frozen yogurt has been one of my favorite desserts for years. I love that itās lower in calories than ice cream and that it has probiotics which are great for your gut health. When I was in the US, a quick trip to either Pinkberry or Menchieās would satisfy my cravings, but when I came to Lagos, I couldnāt find a place that served it. Then I stumbled across Sweet Kiwi one day.
It was a hot and humid afternoon. There was traffic on both sides of Admirality Road in Lekkki Phase 1 (I absolutely HATE getting stuck here) and I decided that Iādā¦

The Top Four Cancer-Fighting Spices
It won’t be a bad idea adding these spices to your meals if you can. They may help in preventing other diseases too.
These cancer-fighting spices have powerful health benefits and were part of my daily regimen to heal cancer without chemo.
I finally broke the 88kg ceiling !!!
I have been stuck on 88 kg for a long time now, at least for the past 6 months.
Each time I step on the weighing scale, I always come down disappointed as my body has refused to shed some extra kilos, despite my diet, exercise and discipline. I have not been to the gym in a while since I decided to make the best use of the summer sunshine.
So I had cause to go on a spiritual exercise for 3 days, fasting and praying and living on water and coconut water only, for a miracle which I have been looking up to God for.Ā
The result was amazing as I stepped on the scale on the 1st of March, you can’t believe it, and I clocked 84 KG !!!!!.
I am still basking in the euphoria of this new found weight and I am motivated to maintain it and probably hit 80 Kg by the end of the year.
It isn’t easy tho as I have been craving sweet things since I ended my fat. I hope this won’t be short lived

Natural Bridge Mountain #Photography
Australia is a blessed and beautiful country, endowed with breath taking landscapes and tourist attractions.
I droveĀ through a part of the Gold Coast hinterland called Natural Bridge in the Numinbah valley along the Nerang-Murwillumbah road and i was captivated by the mountains and green scenery that abound in the area.
I didn’t have much time to capture a lot of pictures, Ā i was particularly touched by the mountains that seem to touch the skies and the absolute green landscape all over the place.
I hope to go back one day to explore the beauty of this place. Ā TheĀ Springbrook National Park is also located in the area.
You experience peace , calmness and pure fresh air passing through the windy road that leads to natural bridge.

Silverbeet & Kale Vegetable Stir Fry
My love for Kale knows no bound. Lovers of my blog know I love kale, as IĀ am either eating it in soups or stir fries or drinking it in my smoothies.
I decided to combine Kale with Silverbeet (Swiss chard), my new found love among vegetables. I love Silverbeet (Swiss chard)Ā for its crunchiness and strength when cooked.
“Silverbeet, also known as Swiss chard, is part of the beet family, and its large bunches of bright-green, thick leaves are packed full of vitamins, fibre and goodness. In abundance now, silverbeetĀ has a deep earthy flavour and a wonderful bitter sweetness.”
“Swiss chard offers dietary fiber, which helps to regulate blood sugar levels during the digestive process. It also contains a wealth of vitamins C, E, and K, beta-carotene, manganese, and antioxidants.”
Here is a step by step process of how i made my deliciousĀ Silverbeet & Kale Vegetable Mix.
First i added some olive oil into the cooking pot, which i allowed to heat for about 3 minutes and then added garlic;
Then i added 2 diced onions andĀ cookedĀ for 2 – 3 minutes,
Then i added myĀ herbs, spices and salt.
Next, i added my already boiled and lamb andĀ cooked for 5 minutes, so the sauce can saturate the meat.
Next i added the already washed and cut vegetables, covered the pot to simmer aand cook for 5 minutes.
Volla , your silverbeet & kale Vegetable mix is ready;
