In the land of cooking there are so many different ways to enjoy the kitchen. I recently made something at home that was so much better than delivery – pizza! I know you’re probably saying “I’m not about it sit and try to make dough!” But for this version, you don’t have it! I am…
Sound Bite: Pancake Batter
I don’t know about you, but when those weekend days start approaching, a nice hearty breakfast with my family is one of the things I think about. Sometimes it’s waffles and bacon, sometimes grits and cheese eggs, or sometimes it’s a beautiful stack of pancakes with a side of sausage! My son loves my pancakes…
Cupcakes Don’t Always Have to Be Sweet…
So over the past week, my food creation wheels have been turning. I’ve been trying to think about things to eat that are innovative, easy, filling and still taste amazing! I started making a list and then I paused. What about cupcakes? We always associated cupcakes with dessert, but why be limited to a sweet…
Sound Bite: Italian Sausage
Most likely every time you look in my freezer Italian sausage will be one of the meats in there. Why do I like it? It’s such a good staple and can be used in a variety of dishes! Italian sausage can be cooked whole, sliced and cooked, and even removed from the casing and browned…
Abundance of Gratitude
Holiday time is almost over. Year after year people tend to follow the same cycle…start the season talking about what they’re thankful for and then ending the year talking about how much they either loved it or how things will be different the following year. This Thanksgiving I was more thankful than I can express….
Daycare Days and Peaceful Nights
So my now 10 month old son is the light and love of my life (other then the hubs). When I look at him it reminds me that God does have a plan and this little man is an integral part of it. Taking care of a child can be a lot of work, but…
Reese’s in a Cup
Who doesn’t like a good Reese’s peanut butter cup? Peanut butter M&M’s? Nutty Bars? Whatever your fancy, this can satisfy that craving! Today I figured I would share my favorite protein shake – Chocolate, peanut butter, and banana! This started with my love for chocolate and peanut butter…together of course! It’s together in so many…
Sound Bite: Crushed Tomatoes
Today’s sound bite is something that has become a staple in my cabinets. A “must have in stock” item if you will. CRUSHED TOMATOES!! This fabulous relationship started a few years ago when I was going to make pasta and said to myself “I want to make my own sauce”. That sounded good in my…
Sound Bite: Multi-purpose Crock Pot Chicken
So being a wife, having an infant, working full time, and going to school seems like a lot but add a couple more other activities and the load can leave you with no spare time! I was inspired by a friend to start these “Sound Bites” to help you get through these close to unbearable…
Year of Thanks
Welcome to the holiday season! For many its jumping on a plane or in a car to visit with family. For others, it’s welcoming their loved ones into their home to celebrate. For me this year, it was neither. Loved ones traveled and we were unable to and I almost didn’t do anything for Thanksgiving….
Pregnant Girl Craving of the Day: Pancakes
Sooo I love breakfast, but not everyone’s! I mean it has to be some good food to meet my breakfast standards. I have tried different restaurants and diners, even tried different things at home. Most of the time people have gotten it right, but there are times it’s been WRONG. Ask my husband, I critique…
Roots Run Deep – A Tribute to My Grandfather
Although it’s been almost 9 years that we have been living without him on this earth, we still remember his spirit and all the memories he left behind. These next few posts are a tribute to my grandfather and his Jamaican roots. I hope my homage to him would have made him proud. They say…
