Hello everyone and Happy February 2017! I wish you all the joys this new month has to offer! Okay so, I was struggling with what to put out today. I had nothing. I told my siblings I had nothing. They told me it'll come to me. And then I told one of my girls' I had nothing and she was like "blog about me na" so I was like "I WILL." So now here we go! I happen to know one of the best cooks in Nigeria and I don't mean my mommy! For YEARS, this chick has said she'd like to start her own catering business and I have been NAGGING her to do it.
