📢 Cooking Contest || Week-10 || Prove yourself by @rossnenye as the Best Ladies Chef on the Steemit Platform by @rossnenye

Hello everyone, greetings to the amazing ladies of this wonderful Community. It's another week of sharing our creativity in this platform. I love food and I'm always happy seeing different dishes displayed here. I would also love to appreciate @shiftitamanna for always organizing this contest.

✅ What is the name of the dish that you have made this week? And why did you choose this dish?

The name of the dish I prepared this week is Jollof rice. I prepared this dish yesterday being Sunday. I choose to prepare this meal because rice is one meal we don't miss preparing on Sunday's, infact there is no Sunday Celebration without it in my family. I also chose to prepare it because I had the ingredients readily at home and the cost of it's preparation is also very affordable.
