Although most of us are in the thick of finals season, you can’t help but notice that Christmas time is drawing closer by the day. Take a trip to your local mall and you’ll be met with hours of Christmas music. Drive around your local neighborhood and you’ll be hard-pressed not to find a festively-decorated house. Aside from the decorations and the music, one of my favorite things about the holidays is all the food we get to indulge in.
What does Christmas dinner look like to you?
To me, it’s a plate piled high with Jollof rice, plantains, and roasted chicken. Its the plate of brownies sitting on the kitchen counter (or cupcakes or cookies or whatever my more baking-inclined younger sister decided to treat us with that year.) It’s the food-coma that comes after eating far more than anyone reasonably should.
Check out this Jollof rice recipe if you’re looking for a recipe to try out this holiday season (and probably for years to come. Yes, its that good.)
