Island girl making the love of food more affordable..
If you are like me then you’re always peckish. These meals are appetizer-esque. The in-betweeners, not the star but they sure keep you going until the main attraction.
Simple Coconut Tuna Pasta is a delicious foolproof recipe when you’re short on time. It’s light yet creamy, savoury and sweet and is hearty enough to keep you full but not make you feel heavy. Simple Coconut Tuna Pasta is a definite win. I have been experimenting with Tuna this last year. It’s really affordable […]
This Sweet Corn and Cheese Fritters is a must have. It is delightfully light, deliciously sweet and wonderfully crunchy. It’s so easy to make that you almost can’t believe it’s so good. Fritters are a common dish in Jamaica. Saltfish fritters for something savoury and banana fritters for something sweet. Sweet Corn and Cheese fritter […]
Summer Mango Parfait is a great breakfast option but also an amazing snack or dessert. I squeezed the life out of mango season this year. Safe to say I am sure I overindulged. Summer is almost over and to see it go means saying goodbye to one of my favourite seasonal fruits. I love fruits […]
Summer time is all about quick and delicious eats that you share with friends and this Spicy Thai Tuna Dip is up to the challenge. So easy to make and a creamy goodness. I don’t have a fondness for tuna, I never have. However it’s so affordable that I have challenged myself to find delicious […]
The One Pot Burrito is amazing. Everybody loves a one pot. Let’s really look at this closely. One pots are usually delicious because you’re combining multiple ingredients to create a compounded flavourful bite. They’re often quick. I can think of a few stews that takes quite awhile but generally speaking you’re cooking with ease and […]
There are some really great side dishes. Side dishes don’t get the recognition they deserve. A side dish is not just complementary, sometimes its the main attraction. That’s what you get with this Salsa Verde Sweet Potato Salad.My love for potato salad grew as I got older to my teen years, I started forming an […]
This recipe does sound unusual, at least to my fellow Jamaicans. We loved canned mackerel with white rice, with boiled or fried dumpling, boiled green banana, potatoes or yam. Spaghetti & Mackerel in Tomato Sauce though? That might be a real stretch. Bear with me for a moment and keep an open mind. Don’t knock […]
I was a woman without a plan, with no idea how I wanted this to turn out or what I hoped for it to become but boy was it good. This recipe is snacking made easy. I have said it before and I will say it again, sometimes the best things are unplanned. With some […]
You had me at Beef and Potatoes or One pot stew. Everything about that sentence just screams savoury and delicious flavours and a meal that gives you a hug of love. No better meal for our a Thursday meal. Its easy, flavourful and really affordable and more importantly it gives you a hearty serving. There […]
Let me tell you a little story about this dish. Something so simple, light, flavourful and fun started out very complicated. In hindsight I think it was still becoming, mentally I was still feeling it out until I embraced what it was going to be. Sounds very philosophical for a popular shrimp recipe but sometimes […]
