Island girl making the love of food more affordable..
These meals save lives. After a long day of whatever it is you have to do, work, stay at home mom etc you want something that’s easy to prepare, not mundane and doesn’t cost too much. Out with the regular routine and bring in a twist to some favourites.
This recipe was inspired by my need to use up items from my refrigerator that I love but I don’t use often. I am sure you know exactly what I am talking about. You have a jar or bottle of something that you bought for a recipe or maybe you had every intention of using […]
In honour of this Cinco De Mayo I present the Pizza Taco. I played around with a couple names like Pizzaco or Tacizza but settled on keeping it nameless. Like all good things it starts off with an idea that for reasons unbeknownst to us go completely out the window. Sometimes our deviations don’t work […]
So its Ben Johnson Day again and for those of you who don’t know what that means, its every Thursday in Jamaican culture. This day signifies humble meals due to little to no food as its the eve of the end of week. You know how it is, everything runs low as you approach the […]
This recipe is lit. Spicy, delicious bite size goodness. I had so much fun making this dish. Its great for an appetizer or a quick snack to share if you dare. I am not a great lover of tuna so I am always trying to find different ways to prepare and enjoy it. Tuna is […]

There are a lot of simple yet really delicious meals that can leave you feeling full and easy on the wallet. I find that some of the best meals come from whats considered humble origins.

All I can say is “Peanut Butter Jelly Time, Peanut butter Jelly Time”. Listen, your brunch has never looked or tasted this good. This recipe was so yummy I could have this every weekend. I really wish I could. I love pancakes. I think I eat them more as an adult than I did as […]
So growing up in Jamaican we have a lot of proverbs. Some of the popular ones are “Wanti wanti cyaan getti, an’ getti getti noh wanti” or “Noh buy puss inna bag”. As children we heard them often. I don’t think we really questioned the origins and some of them are really way out there […]
