There’s something you should know about me: I don’t like fresh pineapple. It’s not the taste—it’s the texture. That tingly, mouth-stinging feeling? I don’t want it. But canned pineapple? I could eat that all day. It’s sweet, mellow, and so much easier to work with. No prickly skin, no cutting, […]
The only potato salad recipe I trust for family gatherings and hungry teenagers There’s something about Jamaican potato salad with peas that feels like it belongs at every celebration. Whether it’s a backyard barbecue, a Sunday dinner, or a fridge raid at midnight—it always shows up. But I’ll be honest: […]
This oven-baked snapper fillet is bright, bold, and buttery with a herby crunch It was one of those busy nights. I had leftover rice and peas already in the fridge, but no protein planned. I had just three small snapper fillets staring back at me. And I’ll admit—I was this […]
There’s nothing like the smoky, spicy aroma of jerk pork sizzling on the grill. It instantly transports me to Jamaica—to memories of roadside vendors cooking over drum pan grills, wrapping fresh pork in waxy paper, and handing it over like gold. That’s the kind of food that raised me. But […]

I’ll be honest with you: I always have a box or two of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix in the pantry. It’s reliable, cheap, and it just works. But let’s be clear — around here, we don’t make basic cornbread. Not when we can give it a glow-up in under 10 […]
This stovetop Jamaican red beans and rice with coconut milk is creamy, flavorful, and rooted in tradition—made with red kidney beans, coconut milk, and fresh thyme. A Pot of Rice That Tastes Like Home Growing up in a Jamaican household, rice and peas wasn’t just a side dish—it was a […]
Every comfort recipe has a secret. Sometimes it’s a spice. Sometimes it’s time. But when it comes to rich, creamy, velvety magic that brings a dish to life? That secret is often Bechamel sauce. This humble white sauce is one of the five French mother sauces, meaning it’s a building […]
Because Sometimes A Foil Pan and a Dream Is All You Need I didn’t grow up in a lasagna household. We were rice people. Curry people. Oxtail and stew people. Pasta wasn’t a big part of our weekly menu — so when lasagna did show up, it was a big […]
So You’re Craving Chipotle Guacamole, But You Also Want to Pay Rent? Listen. I love Chipotle’s guacamole as much as the next busy mom who’s been cleaning crayon off the walls since 7 AM. But that $3 scoop adds up fast—especially when you’ve got a whole family (or just a […]
