These are Jamaican faves, (salted codfish fritters). These spicy and flavorful fritters can be had as snack, horderves, breakfast, or as a great side dish for brunch. They are staples in a Jamaican kitchen. Over the years, I have indulged in this dish repeatedly. I seem to get the urge for this salty and crispyContinue reading “TAKE A SPIN ON THE INDIVIDUAL FRITTERS -#CODFISH PLATTER SHAPE”

USHER IN THE WARM AND THE EXOTIC FLAVORS ##GRILLED SHRIMP IN A COCONUT/CURRY SAUCE
It seems like the whole world is under a cold spell. The blizzard of 2015 has made its mark on the New England region of the United States and other locales. Even sunny South Florida is experiencing 40’s and 50’s in temperatures. But, I’m not complaining; I’ve decided to go Jamaican with an infusion ofContinue reading “USHER IN THE WARM AND THE EXOTIC FLAVORS ##GRILLED SHRIMP IN A COCONUT/CURRY SAUCE”

A BRAIN BOOSTER TO START THE DAY ##BLUEBERRY/BANANA SMOOTHIE
I’m glad to see that one of my faves (blueberries) is slowly hitting the shelves with a tad lower in prices compared to a few weeks ago. I can’t wait for them to plummet further so that I stockpile in my freezer. But anyway, I couldn’t help myself; I fetched some and have put themContinue reading “A BRAIN BOOSTER TO START THE DAY ##BLUEBERRY/BANANA SMOOTHIE”
DESSERT/COCKTAIL TO CLIMAX MY MEAL #GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH STRAWBERRIES/CREME
Sometimes, my dear palate has a mind of its own. Went a shopping a day ago. There I beheld golden and juicy pineapples beautifully displayed. What do know? My palate hopped out of the box. After all, it’s winter, Florida-style of course (temperatures in the 50’s and 60’s). It’s such a treat to be ableContinue reading “DESSERT/COCKTAIL TO CLIMAX MY MEAL #GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH STRAWBERRIES/CREME”
LOOK YE HERE! LOOK YE HERE! I STILL HAVE SOME JAMAICAN RUM MARINARA OVER HERE ##EGG CUPCAKES
My Jamaican rum marinara sauce has some long legs. Had a few leftover spoonfuls on hand and decided to ‘rock’ it with a couple of eggs. Grabbed my whisk, tossed in a pinch of salt, cracked black pepper, a sprinkle of cheddar cheese (love to keep that in the freezer), a splash of milk, andContinue reading “LOOK YE HERE! LOOK YE HERE!

THE REEMERGENCE OF GEORGE ##GEORGE FOREMAN GRILL#GRILLED TILAPIA
Dear George and I have been detached for quite sometime. Due to the uprooting in my life, he (perhaps, I should say ‘it’), somehow got shuffled amid the pots and pans in my cupboard. That is to tell you how much I grill and needed another piece of gadget. You see, the real George ForemanContinue reading “THE REEMERGENCE OF GEORGE ##GEORGE FOREMAN GRILL#GRILLED TILAPIA”
