I felt like a maestro conducting her orchestra. I don’t claim to be an expert; however, for me, earlier, it was a repeat performance with my curried chicken thighs. You see, my palate requested the left-overs I had in my freezer. And that was music to my ears. Like most of us, I’ve a super-busyContinue reading “A REPEAT PERFORMANCE #CURRIED CHICKEN THIGHS”

I’M BEETING IT THIS WEEK! #BEET/CARROT/GINGER JUICE
It’s no secret; most store-bought drinks and juices are loaded with large amounts of sugars and preservatives. As a result, I try to keep them to a minimum. So, whenever I can, I crave out sometime each week and prepare my home-made juices and drinks. At least I know that they are fresh and onlyContinue reading “I’M BEETING IT THIS WEEK! #BEET/CARROT/GINGER JUICE”
A HAPPY ENCORE #JERK CHICKEN THIGHS
I can never grow tired of a jerk chicken dish. I would’ve had my chicken thighs a million and one ways; however, I chose to revisit the jerky-side of things. Moreover, it’s the week-end, and for me, a week-end isn’t a week-end without a meal consisting of this succulent, spicy, and mouth-watering Jamaican condiment. IContinue reading “A HAPPY ENCORE #JERK CHICKEN THIGHS”
NATURE’S BOUNTY #ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES
I can’t complain. The autumn (Fall) season has emerged in my kitchen in a huge way. It has doled out some of earth’s finest in the form of root vegetables. Thus, I treated them one of the favorite ways I like. I decided to roast them. Roasting is perfect for these veggies as it bringsContinue reading “NATURE’S BOUNTY #ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES”
A JOYFUL MORNING JOLT! #OATMEAL AND FRUITS
You may call me a repeat ‘offender’ if you wish. But, it was with a merry heart that I chose to revisit one of my favorite morning cereals. One of the great things about oatmeal is that it’s relatively inexpensive compared to other cereals. Most importantly, it’s loaded with heart-healthy whole grain properties that willContinue reading “A JOYFUL MORNING JOLT! #OATMEAL AND FRUITS”
A STORMY DAY DISCOVERY! #LEFT-OVER CURRIED CHICKEN THIGHS
As dark clouds blanketed the evening skies, I hastily made my way to my humble kitchen. Mother Nature was at work on this first day of autumn (well, that’s what the calendar states). However, the elements screamed summer conditions within my midst. With thunder roaring and the skies lighting up, I knew it was quiteContinue reading “A STORMY DAY DISCOVERY! #LEFT-OVER CURRIED CHICKEN THIGHS”
IT’S A WRAP #TORTILLA SCRAMBLED WRAPS
Trying my utmost best to maintain a fine balance. Thus, for breakfast, I went the whole grain route. I did so by employing the aid of Mexican tortilla wraps. These wraps are loaded with about 9 grams of fiber which was music to my ears as I like to incorporate as much fiber in myContinue reading “IT’S A WRAP #TORTILLA SCRAMBLED WRAPS”
WEDGES OF SWEET GOODNESS #CARROT/SWEET POTATO WEDGES
It was like Christmas in September. My kitchen emitted a bouquet of warm and aromatic flavors that enveloped my entire abode. Guys, I’m talking about the co-mingling of paprika and cinnamon sprinkled on wedges of carrot and sweet potatoes. With a drizzle of canola oil and a pinch of sea salt along with the earthyContinue reading “WEDGES OF SWEET GOODNESS #CARROT/SWEET POTATO WEDGES”
ODD COMPANIONS? #SAUTEED CABBAGE/KALE WITH HARD-BOILED EGGS
It’s not often that I pair these food items. However, my palate was in a strange mood; so I rolled with the ‘punches’. Moreover, I just wanted to use up some left-over sautéed cabbage and kale I had cooked a couple of days ago. There was no way I was going toss. After all, thatContinue reading “ODD COMPANIONS? #SAUTEED CABBAGE/KALE WITH HARD-BOILED EGGS”
A JAMAICAN FAVE #ESCOVITCHED SNAPPER FISH
This old favorite of mine was due for an early revisit. After making a delicious fish broth(tea) with the heads of my two snapper along with root vegetables, I decided to continue the traditional way and did a Jamaican escovitch fish dish with the remainder of my snapper. Although this dish is predominately served duringContinue reading “A JAMAICAN FAVE #ESCOVITCHED SNAPPER FISH”
