One of my favorite summertime beverage is sweet ice tea, but adding fresh peaches makes it amazing. The fresh lemon makes the peaches pop with flavor. This is so delicious especially on those hot summer days; garnished with some fresh cut mint from the garden… heaven in a glass. 5 individual tea bags or 3 family […]

When I saw this recipe, I knew I needed to give it a whirl. Another strawberry recipe? OK! And, since tomatoes are not in their prime yet, I could settle for a sweeter version of the traditional Italian finger food. The instructions seemed straightforward, the ingredients fresh and healthy, and the flavors seemed like they […]
Aah yes, I have a salad to share with you today. It’s fresh, healthy and full of color! A much needed departure from all the cooked foods we have been devouring lately. If you’re anything like us, we tend to eat more cooked foods in the winter. It seems to be somewhat instinctual but a good […]

It is one of our favorite desserts in the winter. 2 cups cooked rice (jasmine rice is my new favorite) 2 eggs, lightly beaten 1 ½ cups milk […]

While vacationing last week I discovered that the National Dish of Saint Maarten on the French side is Callaloo Soup (Caribbean Greens). It’s made with pork cubes, chicken stock, okra, hot pepper (habanero or Scotch Bonnet are typically used), onion, callaloo leaves (spinach like, so I used spinach) and other ingredients. This soup is really delicious […]
I am admittedly not a great baker (a cook- that’s totally a different matter) but this is a simple and amazing recipe even I can do. Moist, dense, and super chocolate-y, no one will ever guess there’s zucchini in this bread. What a great way to use up some of our excess harvest that I […]
