The Green Banana

The wonder fruit of Uganda. 
Matoke 
"Maa- toe - Kii" 

Matoke is a short green banana that is often eaten unripened in stews mixed with aromic curry spices and fresh tomatoes, onions and carrots.

Indigenous to Uganda, it is a very popular traditional food. 

My personal favorite way to prepare Matoke is boiled in a stew of ground peanut stew fried together with fresh vegetables.

More Cinnamon Rolls Less Gender Roles

The best mornings for me is when my kitchen is filled with the sweet aroma of cinnamon and the chewy goodness of yeast, washed down with a cold glass of milk. These rolls were devoured by my husband and children before I could even go back for seconds. Not every roll comes out the same, some are bigger or smaller or chewy or crunchier on some sides,  but inside they are all filled with yummy cinnamon and buttery goodness.  Cinnamon rolls always remind me of my dad, I fondly remember him ordering cinnamon buns at different breakfast spots when I was a child, they were definitely his favorite breakfast treat. Now they remain a sweet reminder of good memories with my dad.  - The Travel Banana
