   RECIPE

Hi everyone, I would be writing a series for my fellow Corps members and other readers. The series would consist of breakfast, lunch and dinner. It would also be loaded with nice combo dishes that contain essential nutrients needed by our body. I would be starting with a nice combo dish for breakfast and it would be cooked yam with egg sauce. Yam is a rich source of carbohydrate while the egg sauce contain nutrients rich in protein, vitamins, fats & oil and vitamins so you see its a balanced diet😉. The combo is also affordable considering our pockets... I am a Corper so I can relate with our pockets 😎.

Ingredients

4-5 slices of Yam
2 medium sized eggs
6 pieces of fresh tomatoes (or 1 sachet of tomato paste but fresh tomatoes are preferable for a better taste)
