About "Jack Robinson" which is simply a figure of speech that depicts quickness. it brought a funny memory from my secondary school days (high school). Our Principal (Mrs Mowoe ) retired and our new principal happened to be named Mrs Robinson. One of the days when my friends and I were feeling silly, some one was making a comment and mentioned the figure of speech "Jack Robinson" and some one said not only Jack Robinson o. What about Jack Mowoe. LOL.... Come to think of it, it seems so dry right now but it amused our silly' fun loving, carefree, teenage selves back then. It served the purpose of improving the mood of probably a boring Saturday afternoon. Now whats all this talk about Jack Robinson???? I better get back to my recipe for the day... my delicious Kale Sweet Potato Porridge. YUM !!!

Though I am not a die hard fan of sweet potatoes like my kiddos and Mr K, this recipe hit the spot for me.  And this I guess is because it can really get boring if you keep eating sweet potatoes as fries. I had totally forgotten about the porridge part because they love the fries. When I decided to make it in a different way, Kale was definitely my choice of green vegetables. I really do love Kale if you are a regular at my kitchen, I am sure you already know that.

While cooking I said to myself, why not make a recipe post of this for the blog. Everyone is looking for quick meals these days and for variety too. It turned out yummy so here is a simple, tasty recipe even the kiddos would love.
