Had a few extra calories I had to drop. Once again, I was a bit naughty the previous night. So, I took a trot around the block. You would think it was the beginning of summer. But, it was just a taste of things to come. After all, its South Florida with its humidity nudgingContinue reading “A SMOOTHIE TO RUSH HOME TO ##BANANA/STRAWBERRY SMOOTHIE”

WHOOPIE!! IT’S THE WEEK-END, AND, I THINK I DESERVE A SCREWDRIVER!
Ready or not, the week-end is here. Guys, it’s Friday. And, I do think I’ve the right to let loose just a wee bit and let down my hair(well, my weave). What’s a week-end if one cannot enjoy a cocktail? Been sometime since I’ve gone here. Used to be my fave. What brought me here?Continue reading “WHOOPIE!!

DARK CLOUDS/THE SOUTH-BOUND BIRDS DID IT!…#CARROT/SWEET POTATO WAFFLES
I knew it all along that nature plays a huge part in my diet. You see, just the mere sight of a flock of birds heading south and the presence of dark gray puffy clouds, sent my palate on overdrive.

JOYFUL BERRIES ##CRANBERRY DRINK WITH A HINT OF GINGER ROOT
Yes, I still have some. Over the years, during the Christmas holidays when the marketplace is loaded with cranberries, I often purchase extra and store them in the freezer. They come in handy throughout the new year for quite an extended time. The last holiday was no different. Not only are cranberries refreshing, but basedContinue reading “JOYFUL BERRIES ##CRANBERRY DRINK WITH A HINT OF GINGER ROOT”
WENT FISHING!! #SCORED SNAPPER SLICES IN HOISIN SAUCE
I’m a huge lover of fish. It seems like I’ve consumed same a ‘million’ and one ways in various styles. I love it in the fillet form as well as the whole fish with the beautiful head and its bones.

SOMETIMES, ONE HAS TO BACKPEDAL ##OPEN-FACED PARSLEY/GRAPE CHICKEN SALAD ON RYE
Had a perfect plan. You see, in my mind’s eye, I had the ideal lunch. It was basically some left-overs from the week-end. I had previously roasted a couple of chicken breasts bone-in with a delicious grape sauce. I devoured one and saved the other. So, I decided to have same this afternoon. However, thereContinue reading “SOMETIMES, ONE HAS TO BACKPEDAL ##OPEN-FACED PARSLEY/GRAPE CHICKEN SALAD ON RYE”
A ‘STICK TO THE RIBS’ BREAKFAST#OVERSTUFFED OMELET WITH GRILLED VEGGIES/PROVOLONE CHEESE
I yearned for something quite filling and nutritious. I wasn’t in the mood for oatmeal and berries. And for sometime I’ve taken a break from Cheerios and other dried cereals; much too sugary for me. Grabbed hold of my grill pan and let it slowly come to warmth under low heat. I made sure toContinue reading “A ‘STICK TO THE RIBS’ BREAKFAST#OVERSTUFFED OMELET WITH GRILLED VEGGIES/PROVOLONE CHEESE”
LEFT-OVER BRAISED GOAT MEAT BECOMES NEW WITH THE AID OF STEAMED RICE/MINT
It’s amazing how a left-over dish can be transformed into new. I was a bit tired/lazy to cook another protein from scratch. Had some left-over braised goat meat (mutton) in my freezer. Did a little defrosting and simmered anew on stove top. So, with the help of a fresh bunch of mint and whole-grain rice,Continue reading “LEFT-OVER BRAISED GOAT MEAT BECOMES NEW WITH THE AID OF STEAMED RICE/MINT”
