Jigba Kosu (lumpy pap)
Growing up in Sapele was fun. While my dad tried a whole lot to build an ajebuta last born in me, I was always considering other kids in my environment and insisted on the kpako kinda life ☺ it was fun.
As a Bassa Nge child that grew in a Bassa Nge home, I love Jigba Kosu. I used to choose it over tea a thousand and one times. There was a time I striked a deal with my step mom to be putting plenty kosu (lump) in my pap so I can be dashing her my #10 daily allowance for Baba. Thinking back to that time makes me laugh.
Both dad and step mom are no more but their love remains in my heart. Dedicating my today's breakfast to Yawo: my step mom. She was beyong a mother. May the souls of the departed Unmah's find rest and peace.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Pour your raw pap into a cloth siever. Drain the water very well so you can have a strong pap dough
- 2
Start cutting your Kosu (lump) out of the dough. Cut as much as you want and set aside.
- 3
Put water for your pap on fire. Mix the pap you want to make. When the water starts boiling, pour your moulds of kosu into the water and allow water to keep boiling for 3 to 5mins.
- 4
Put off the fire and the kosu would be below the water. Pour the water to make your pap. When your pap is done, seive the kosu out of the remaining hot water and pour into your pap.
- 5
Every sip gives you a smooth, yummy kosu to chew. I love my pap bit sour without sugar but if you are joining me for this breakfast, I could give u some sugar. I usually take my Jigba Kosu with gbongbo but today, I decided to do a little continental. I had it with fried plantain and egg. Bon appétite!

I was actually going to make something else that is similar to this , but instead I mixed that recipe with my husband's nacho recipe. The kids loved this so much that they didn't leave any leftovers ! I will have to post the recipe that I combined my husband's nacho recipe with. The kids didn't want any toppings, but they said next time they will. I added black olives to mine .

taisen's macaroni salad taisen's macaroni salad
I am the only one in the house who eats this but my mom did it all the time growing up. I loved it and I always add extra vinegar because I love it so much. when my brother , sister and mom come over for a get together I make this for us all. they take home some everytime. I did this about a week ago and didn't do the boiling of vinegar and sugar. Instead I just added them in and mixed well. Turned out the same. I did add some diced carrots and I really liked it ! -

Taco Salad Bake Taco Salad Bake
When I was little, and dad was in the army, sometimes we would have to wait for our housing on post. While we waited for housing, we would stay in our camper at the nearest KOA campground. Those were some of my fondest memories of growing up. I’m the 4th of 5 kids. My mom had a lot of mouths to feed and one of my FAVORITE things she would make us was taco salad. The delicious smells coming from that camper are still very vivid with me. Here’s a version of that taco salad in a casserole.#heirloom
