VEGGIE OVERLOADED MAC N CHEESE
MAC N CHEESE = COMFORT FOOD! We all love mac n cheese right? Welll….most of us at least lol.

PERSIAN FOOD (Kish Restaurant, Thornhill, Canada)

CORNED BEEF AND RICE
This blog post is especially for my Trini people! We LOVE ah good ‘corn beef’! Actually… corned beef was the first thing I ever cooked about 20 years ago! I have very fond memories of my pops cooking corned beef… it was a favorite for us! I remember the way he would say to cook…
CHICKEN BIRYANI (MILD)
I love Indian cuisine…. the spices… the intense flavors…. the aromas… are all just amazing. The techniques involved and the specific spices used are a bit different from the West Indian methods of cooking that I am accustomed to; so usually I would purchase the biryani spice pack and follow the instructions. Today however I…

ALASKAN KING CRAB (Naked Crab, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida)
Trini crab is totally different not only in taste but size from what we tried at Naked Crab located on Seabreeze Boulevard in Ft Lauderdale. Priced at $59.99USD per pound, this was some massive crab. The serving option was either hot with melted butter or cold with mustard sauce. Our choice…hot! 😀 The one sad…
