butternut squash is sweet as can be, peeled, cubed and oven roasted with some butter and salt and pepper, almost candy!

[@Mekenzeinkenya]

It’s so delicious!!

[@MsEller316]

​@Mekenzeinkenya makes a lovely soup too...also the pumpkin...we have the same variety of pumpkin in Jamaica..Google Jamaican pumpkin soup...yummy

[@FurbabyMother]

Absolutely love how the kids participate in everything! Your farm is really coming into its own and starting to produce enough to sustain your family. Soon you will be awash in produce-hopefully and I am sure you have plans for how the excess can be put to good use for the community. You guys are such an amazing and positive example of a lovely family unit.

[@user-df3uw1ws2t]

Its nice to see George helping out with the cooking because not all men love kitchen chores

[@OedipusSimplex]

Not all women love kitchen chores.

[@MsEller316]

​@@OedipusSimplex George is a wonderful cook...look at previous videos...

[@wanguigachagua5818]

That's the paradigm society needs to change. Anyone who eats can cook and handle all household chores equally

[@MsEller316]

What lovely carrots...good organic soil...❤

[@user-df3uw1ws2t]

You have a lovely family and love how your kids are always eager to take part in the activities around your garden

[@jackieburton7564]

I jus love how the children are so involved in everything with the one little rose 😊in the middle

[@elizabethbayona3655]

That bell like squash we call it butternut

[@priscillamcgregor4679]

Here we call it butternut squash. 🌹❣️Love, Cape Town, South Africa🤗

[@Magnolia5]

Harvest Time @the Limiri Farm🥰. It’s so gratifying when you eat produce grown by you from your soil. Everything looked delicious and colorful. Many years when my now adult children were small, we were having a fish fry in the backyard. I had an abundance of pumpkin and decided to cut them in pieces. I dropped them into the hot oil with the fish and they were delicious! There are so many ways to prepare squash and pumpkin. Its precious watching the children always very eager to join in everything that is taking place. I can see why you chose to live in Kenya! Wonderful! Thank you MeKenze for sharing. Blessings 🥰💜🌹🙋🏾‍♀️

[@Mekenzeinkenya]

Ah wow that sounds delicious.. fried pumpkin. Will have to try this. Thanks for your constant support. 🙏🏻

[@martino6205]

Roasted young maize with a sprinkle of lemon and chilli 🤤😊😊🤗😌

[@priscillamcgregor4679]

We love a little. salt, little sugar and some butter added to the boiling water with the corn. Yummy. Lovies Cape Town South Africa😇

[@auntyjossyskitchen]

Nice harvest Tip:To make it easier for me to peel butternut squash I boil them for a few minutes and let them còol, then peel them

[@Mekenzeinkenya]

That’s a great tip, thanks 🙏🏻

[@FlorinaPopovici-bj8ru]

Your lovely children are so interested to help you and they are so loving and good with animals. 💖

[@Gideonfinancial]

In Uganda we boil the corn with the covers still on

[@MsEller316]

Ever tried cooking in sweetened milk? ..yummy..

[@flawed_yet_worthy]

This is completely unrelated...but I would love to see Londynn's hair care routine for her textured hair. Lovely video btw❤️

[@Mekenzeinkenya]

I’m actually planning on doing this soon. ☺️

[@jackieburton7564]

We have a guava too. We use it to make drinks. We also use it with other fruit to make drink...

[@josephhanna1733]

Wow God bless you all.

[@Mekenzeinkenya]

🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@chawiramore]

That concoction surely looks delish. I wonder if George will be able to make the exact same thing next time.

[@florenceojowa7706]

Yummy veggies. Enjoy!!

[@charlottethokoa711]

Even boiled maize is nice with salt and butter, thanx for you vegie dish

[@goodday1101]

Organic,cheap and fresh,lovely village life.

[@user-df3uw1ws2t]

The veggies look delish...bona petit😋😋

[@oissemarsh4818]

The food looks very delicious love it

[@joyful8072]

Watching this video, I'm reminded of how wonderful life can be in Kenya. So peaceful and clean living as long as one has adequate resources to meet needs. If one has adequate resources to meet needs in Canada, the life is not nearly so peaceful though I'm grateful for my life here too. As always I enjoy watching the children and George involved in everything together. God bless and feel better soon. xx

[@johngitau6995]

A good lunch and wonderfull family time together.keep it going

[@samkg6337]

Boil maize with the maganda( pods)😂 on it make them more softer than taking tem off just remember to put little bit salt in the water.

[@Mekenzeinkenya]

Thanks for the tips!

[@isabelbenz8704]

I would do Oven Roasted Pumpkin...and a vegetable ratatouille ...and ugali....

Yummy my favorite rice

[@user-ze7kg9vx9z]

We love you guys 💕 😘😘😘

[@sinazana3376]

It’s Mouth watery

[@MeRimee24xlmm]

Boiled maize tastes better when boiled with some of the covers. You only remove the outer ones which are a bit thicker. You can add salt if you like. When properly cooked just drain the water, let the maize cool down then enjoy.

[@fridahndungenzaumi6591]

Very nutritious food

[@Kellyoji]

Yummy 😊

[@AgnesJames-it6og]

Wow,Very healthy dish,wish you well

That was a yummy 😋 meal

[@Mekenzeinkenya]

It was really good ☺️

[@lillipad3503]

Kenya is so blessed with fruits and veggies. I make different types of tomatoes sauces - for breakfast, , for pizza or to add to other disches. I freeze it in small portions. The butternut I would also boil and freeze for soups in winter. Actually one can do so much canning. Is the veggies always plentyful all year long in Kenya.

[@Mekenzeinkenya]

Sounds delicious!

[@josephkuria1429]

Farming has money 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰

[@cindynimmore]

[@SM-bp8rh]

Steam all fresh veggies and serve with grilled chicken

[@annrosekirera5208]

Use the butternuts to make some chapati,boil first,mash and mix with the flour,you will love them.

[@Mekenzeinkenya]

I’ve had butternut chapati in Nairobi and it is my absolute favorite! So delicious.

[@margaretkirimania1220]

[@Mekenzeinkenya]

I love risotto ☺️

[@samuelmbugua8414]

😊I hope ,you are taking lessons from George, most of what we eat, has no preparazion menu. You learn by observation and practice.

[@anurasantha]

Very beautiful ❤❤❤

[@Charlenegonya3627]

isn't it just wonderful to be married to a Man that knows how to cook.

[@Mekenzeinkenya]

It sure is 🥰

[@joycendungu301]

Put some water in the container where you are putting the potatoes to help clean faster

[@Mekenzeinkenya]

Yes I usually do it that way. Good point

[@Holywood_Entertainments]

I have watched you guys come back home and start building your life while all i have done is watch instead of copying you. Look at how far you guys have gone when the country is busy politicing... Congrats you guys. I truely admire you. Keep going and God bless the works of your hands. Mama Liam thank you for documenting your life. Where do you get the lithium batteries...Wao, respect👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Your kiswahili has really improved. Your kids have an out of this world experiences. I don't know if George has any intentions of teaching you guys KĩMĩrũ (Meru language)...it wount hurt to learn...and it only takes 3 months for that age group. And that would be a very interesting content.

[@Mekenzeinkenya]

[@arieskibet6443]

Some call the squash ' butternut '

[@Mekenzeinkenya]

Oh yes, I should have remembered that. Thanks!

[@smangeledhludhlu2022]

Hey sis, I have a question for Kenyans do they cook pumpkin with maize if they do what do you call it? Just curious ❤

[@colinthomas6888]

Hello guys.

[@Mekenzeinkenya]

Hello to you 👋🏻

[@rahimali3004]

can you put that rice recipie in the description

[@Mekenzeinkenya]

It’s very simple.. just start by frying chopped onions and garlic.. then add sliced tomatoes .. let them boil down a bit then add your water and rice .. we did about 2 cups of rice. Once the rice is cooked it’s done. ☺️

[@rahimali3004]

@@Mekenzeinkenya I tried it and it was great. I fried onions, and put grated carrots in the mix and then put canned whole tomatoes and added salt to taste let them boil down .Then added 2cups of rice and added water covering the ric 2iches above the rice, put on high heat until the water reduced to where you see the rice and then covered the rice and set on low heat until the rice was soft./cooked.

[@georgehosea139]

Hello aren't you scared of bee stings with the bee hive so close to your home??!

[@Mekenzeinkenya]
