@Deema
U really did good work here. God bless you. Pls I join Alwaystrue that u start compiling recipes for our precious children pls.CNN showed one woman that's into organic babyfood. And her baby food is ranked no 1 amongs 12 selected known international brands. These are things we can make ourselves for our babies. Her website is www.yummyspoonfuls.com. Pls think about this, I want to feed my baby well immediately solid food is introduced.

@twinnie

good thing about the yummy spoonfuls baby food is that its owned by a lady who is partly Nigerian and Cameroonian.

@dreams, 'fertility diets', OR 'simply healthy food' .

@udoka2, lolz, you talk quick make baby chop berra food.let me check out the blog. No shakement. We full ground by God's grace. Expecting your Lo with easy delivery for you.

@Dreams, I hope you are fine o. Is all well? May the Lord keep you and all you are related to for us o. Thanks for all the effort. You are deeply appreciated.

Let's still paste recipes here for all to learn.

@all, wishing u a lovely day today.

May this thread not die Oº°˚˚°ºh!
IMHO "healthy eating" is synonymous with boring and tasteless food. Ȋ̝̊̅ vote "fertility diet"

2-2, we need a tie breaker ooo.

AlwaysT, hmmm, it is well jare...

Udoka, the baby deserves to do shakara jare. It's not easy.

@twinnie..a round of applause 2 ur testimony jaree. That @dreams has turned us into healthy eaters, hmmm, me especially, isn't a mean feat.
Some women r out there, filled with bitterness over their ttc journey: not knowing that if only they can allow joy into their homes, thru cooking fresh and healthy foods for themselves and dh, things will turn around for good. Even the aroma alone sef! In a sparkling clean homely environment! Hmm, which man wouldn't turn potty in our hands and even volunteer to be a "lab rat" in a bid to carry out all tests available to ascertain his fertility status.
See as cash dey flow for @twinnie purse! Rock it sis. As 4 d change of name, our sabi sis @udoka's name is alright, but I'l go with the other one of "fertility diets" it encaspulates the essence of the thread fully. More like hitting the nail on the head. Or if thereks a way the two ideas can be merged.

On a deeper note; it is well with us all Amen.

@Dreams, my suggestion:

Psalm 128:3 MSG
Your wife will bear children as a vine bears grapes, your household lush as a vineyard, The children around your table as fresh and promising as young olive shoots.

God bless you all,and may those of us praying for bfp(hope its correct) get blessed soon,amen

Amen @ Chiclasweet.
You can use cabbage in place of cauliflower. Are you sure you won't find pumpkin in Osun? Even if you don't, don't worry, there are plenty other recipes to choose from. Make the ones that feature ingredients you can get.

Amen @ your prayers once again, and welcome to the thread.

@Safe welcome Oº°˚˚°ºh! We missed ya!

@All, God is able, may our faith remain strong and steadfast in the Lord.

Liz, try eggplant. That's the closest in texture and taste; cucumber is too watery...

Udooooooooo Mummy!!!! Congratulations!!! God is never too late, His timing is perfect. I know the tiny bobo's voice is high and strong. I thank God for you. I pray that as it happened for you, it will happen for all my sisters here, and for me too.

@Dreams, oya kiddies menu thins o. @Udoka2 aka mypeace don born o.

@Dreams, okay. Thanks in anticipation, i go wait..

@Always, water yam is sold in small local markets ie those women in streets dat put orange, ijebu garri, waterleaf, water yam etc on d ground to sell. They normally go to Lusada market in Agbara to buy those things. I heard d yam is good for ovulation and works like clomid. Thats d reason d area its consumed most in Nigeria have high number of multiple births.

Na there wahala go dey o. Biko, what does water yam look like? Can someone confirm if it's the same one used for ekpang kuko? I asked my 'customer' today, she dey look me like movie.
