Nigerian Thanksgiving Recipe

I honestly didn’t know thanksgiving was a thing in Nigeria until two years ago when Linda Ikeji posted pictures of numerous stars at their thanksgiving table. Even though I still do not understand the relevance of Thanksgiving in Nigeria, I am in support of whatever makes people happy. For me, thanksgiving is a great opportunity to get together with friends and family, share meals and reminisce over happenings in the year.

When it comes to the food part, it can be very daunting especially considering that most Nigerian meals take hours of preparation and cooking. I have been guilty of the “Host- in-the- Kitchen” blunder in the past , where I spent more time in the kitchen than I did with my guests. I am older and wiser now and I don’t think anyone should ever pass up an opportunity to enjoy their own party.

This year I have decided to save the turkey and big cooking for Christmas, there are usually a lot more people around to help then. 

“Appetizer and comfort” is the theme for this thanksgiving, not just any appetizer but Nigeria inspired apps.  if you want to do away with the cooking all together, definitely choose comfort.  Comfort for me is letting someone else do the work by ordering in. there is currently no better way to order in than the dynamic hellofood app, it allows you to sort restaurants around you, order online and get your food delivered.

So what is it going to be? Appetizers or Comfort?
