Island girl making the love of food more affordable..
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 […]
I am falling in love with food every day of life. Some days are better than others and there are the select few where everything goes right. You have a great day, great food and great conversation that makes you look forward to meals ahead. Can you tell that I love food? Variety is the […]
The entire country had a lockdown this last weekend and I decided there was no better time to tackle the things I really don’t like doing but always said I didn’t have the time for. I decided to clean my refrigerator. Taxing work but I love the feeling at the end when you look at […]
I have been trying different recipes with beef mince. I find it very affordable and really flavourful. If you’re cooking on a budget its a good place to start. My favourite way to have it is with black beans, its so delicious. However a girl needs to change things up a bit. So, with a […]
Nice and Easy does it with this recipe. I find some of the best foods are unplanned. Rotisserie chicken is great because it saves on time and energy. However i find its always been hit or miss. Sometimes I’ll buy it and its really flavourful, well seasoned and just Yummy. Other time it lacks flavour […]
The more I cook with Quinoa the more I love it. I may officially become a quinoa lover soon. I definitely judged quinoa harshly because the truth is I love rice and quinoa paled in comparison to me. However I never really gave quinoa a fair chance and now that I have it’s so much […]
This recipe is a great cross between a soup and a stew. It’s really the best of both. I love stews, the consistency of it will naturally bring out the best flavours whether it’s meat based or plant based. Soup on the other hand I never really loved growing up. I couldn’t get on board […]
This stew was inspired by Chili but I doubt it could be considered traditional chili. If it looks like chili does that make it chili? Who knows? The only thing certain is that this stew blew my mind. It really surprised me. I thought long and hard about how I wanted to make it and […]
Tacos Tacos Tacos! Who doesn’t love Tacos? The two stars of this recipe are the fish and that zesty ranch. Turn your Friday night at home to a real party. Pair with a pitcher of margaritas or sangria and make it a weekend of fun, food and laughter with your friends or family. The last […]
So working from home has been a welcome change. However it does pose some challenges that I never considered before. It takes me 10 seconds to get to work which is great because I am never late. However on the down side it also takes me 10 seconds to get to work. I am beginning […]
