This, as earlier mentioned in this post >>> Step By Step Guide On How To Prepare Coconut Rice http://chidinmainspirations.blogspot.com/2014/08/step-by-step-guide-on-how-to-prepare.html?spref=tw … is a new segment in my blog under lifestyle where we will be sharing food recipes or how to prepare food. This actually happened to be a suggestion made by a colleague of mine. This is just to inspire us ladies/ women on how to cook certain kinds of foods that we do not know how to cook. It is also to inspire ladies and women who do not know how to cook on how to cook and also to inspire the guys to also learn how to cook, especially the bachelors and together, we will inspire one another. *winks* Cos eating out every time is really pretty expensive, right?
