HOW TO PREPARE A MEAL CALLED SUCCOTASH

Hi everyone! Why do we eat good food? It's for us to have good health and help live a happy life. Without good food, it causes disease into our body. One of the many prescriptions a doctor would give to you is to eat good food - I mean a balanced diet.

A balanced diet consists of all the six classes of food which are;
Carbohydrates
Proteins
Vitamins
Mineral Salt
Fats and Oil
Water.

Water is also included because it is very important to live an healthy life.

So, with me here is a nourishing food that I love to eat most times because it is one of my favorites especially eating it while it is warm.

I can vividly tell you that this combination is a balanced diet and I am always careful of the combinations in my food all the time.

This meal is called Beans and Corn (Maize) I was made to know its English name is "SUCCOTASH".

I was baffled and I decided to check the Dictionary and I couldn't but agree with it. Here is the meaning;

A stew made from kernels of corn, lima beans, tomatoes and sometimes peppers.
From the English Dictionary

Now you can see all of these items are found in this delicious meal. So anytime you are eating this and someone possibly ask you what are you eating? Just tell them it's Succotash 😉

Okay, let's get down to the recipes and how to prepare it.
