Steps to make Chayote - Irish Potatoes served with Mbuzi Ulaya#authormarathon#:
- Here are the matured Chayote (sprouting already). Peel, remove the seed and cut them into small cubes (smaller than the potatoes). Peel your potatoes too and slice them into slightly bigger size cubes than the Chayote. I peeled them because they had spiky skin and removed the seed coz it was hard, but you can with cook with the skin and the seed.
- Since they take longer to cook than the potatoes, in a Sufuria, have the Chayote down and the potatoes on top. Add very little water. Put the Sufuria on medium heat and boil them for ten minutes without salt. Yellow are the potatoes, off white are the Chayote.
- In a different Sufuria, heat your oil, add in the garlic-ginger paste and cook for 2 minutes, add the onions and cook for 2 minutes (till soft not brown) then add your tomatoes and cook them till soft too. Add tomato paste. Mix for 2minutes.
- Add the white pepper and stir to mix for 3minutes. Add the potato-chayote, mix Royco in very little water and add mixing well and carefully to avoid "breaking" the potatoes. Royco is salty, taste before you add salt. Add the dhania, cook for a minute, cover and remove from fire.
- The food is ready to be served. Enjoy it with a stew of your choice (chicken stew, fish stew meat stew), or nyama choma, rice or as a meal by itself. I served with Mbuzi Ulaya fry.😘😘……..please, ignore the plate😋😋😋

Turn to Food to Elevate Your Mood
Many of us think that comfort foods are bad for us and that we should keep away from them. At times, if your comfort food is basically candy or other junk foods, this holds true. Other times, comfort foods can be utterly nourishing and good for us to consume. Some foods really do elevate your mood when you eat them. If you are feeling a little bit down and you’re needing an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be really great at beating back depression. Just see to it that you do not toss the egg yolk. When you want to cheer yourself up, the yolk is the most crucial part of the egg. Eggs, particularly the egg yolks, are full of B vitamins. B vitamins can actually help you elevate your mood. This is because they improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that tell you how to feel). Try consuming some eggs to jolly up!
Make a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and so on are all terrific for helping to elevate your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have plenty of magnesium which boosts your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical substance that tells your brain how you feel at all times. The more serotonin in your brain, the more pleasant you’ll feel. Nuts, in addition to elevating your mood, can be a superb protein source.
Cold water fish are great for eating if you are wanting to combat depression. Cold water fish like tuna, trout and wild salmon are high in DHA and omega-3 fatty acids. DHA and omega-3s are two things that truly help the grey matter in your brain work a lot better. It’s true: chomping on a tuna fish sandwich can really help you fight depression.
Some grains are truly wonderful for fighting off bad moods. Quinoa, barley, teff, millet, etc are all good for helping you feel happier. These foods fill you up better and that can help improve your moods also. It’s not difficult to feel low when you are starving! These grains can elevate your mood as it’s easy for your body to digest them. You digest these foods quicker than other things which can help promote your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel better, mood wise.
Green tea is excellent for moods. You were sure green tea had to be mentioned, right? Green tea has a lot of an amino acid called L-theanine. Research has proved that this amino acid promotes the production of brain waves. This helps improve your mental energy while simultaneously calming your body. You were already aware that green tea could help you be healthier. Now you know that green tea can elevate your mood as well!
Now you can see that junk food isn’t necessarily what you should eat when you are wanting to help your moods get better. Go with these tips instead!
