A MAHI MAHI CATCH!! #PAN-SEARED FISH
My palate and I were in a seafood kind of mood for supper. It was quite a delightful change to place a hold on the feathery one (chicken) and indulged in a light yet satisfying seafood meal. On my last shopping trip I secured a couple Mahi mahi steaks. Mahi mahi are commonly known asContinue reading “A MAHI MAHI CATCH!! #PAN-SEARED FISH”
CHICKEN THIGHS SMOTHERED IN HOME-MADE APPLE SAUCE
I felt like a mad scientist while I chopped, and diced ingredients for my roasted chicken thighs and side dishes. You see, one can eat chicken a ‘million’ and one ways. But, without the input of certain spices and other ingredients, these dishes can leave a ‘blah’ taste to the taste buds. I was seekingContinue reading “CHICKEN THIGHS SMOTHERED IN HOME-MADE APPLE SAUCE”
A SIDE I COULDN’T RESIST #ROASTED PUMPKIN/SWEET POTATOES
For the fall, this dish has become one of my absolute favorites. I’ve traveled this fork of the road before and I liked same. Maybe, it’s the sweet/tart tastes along with the warm spices of ginger and cinnamon and the contrasting salty flavor of the bits of feta cheese. Guys, I’m harping about my roastedContinue reading “A SIDE I COULDN’T RESIST #ROASTED PUMPKIN/SWEET POTATOES”

PUTTING IT BACK! #CORNMEAL PORRIDGE
Woke up to a long overdue autumn air (Florida-style). With that cool and refreshing air banging on my doors, I decided to fling open the windows and doors. I did a few stretches and a jog. After I completed my work out, something comforting was on my mind. Decided on an old favorite from myContinue reading “PUTTING IT BACK! #CORNMEAL PORRIDGE”
THE CRANBERRY WAY!! CRANBERRY-FILLED CREPES
On my last shopping trip, fuzzy-headed me forgot to replenish my oatmeal. I didn’t allow that omittance to dapper my breakfast. I went sweet and tart with my flavors. I decided to prepare some whole-wheat crepes filled with home-made cranberry sauce. Because cranberries are very tart in taste a generous squeeze of honey and sugar Continue reading “THE CRANBERRY WAY!! CRANBERRY-FILLED CREPES”
ENCORE PERFORMANCE #BRAISED CURRIED GOAT
Supper was an easy decision. A few days ago, I cooked a braised curried goat infused with a touch of white rum. I enjoyed and decided to reserve a portion for another time. Fast forward to today. Thus, it was with great delight that I went with the flow and partook of my lucky goat.Continue reading “ENCORE PERFORMANCE #BRAISED CURRIED GOAT”
