Every recipe tells a story. In my Cooking Chronicles, I share real moments from my kitchen and my life. These posts go beyond instructions. They tell you why I cook, what inspires me, and how food keeps me grounded. If you love food with heart, this is where you’ll feel right at home.
Let me be real with you for a second. There are nights when I’m this close to falling apart, desperately searching for kid-friendly dinner ideas. I’ve survived daycare drop-offs, sat through back-to-back meetings that could’ve been emails, managed a toddler meltdown in the grocery store, and realized at 5:00 p.m. […]
If you’re anything like me, Camille, you know the real dinner struggle isn’t always the main course—it’s the side dishes. The meat will probably get eaten. Maybe even the rice. But the vegetables? The “what is this green thing on my plate” drama? Girl, that’s where the war begins. As […]
Grilled Octopus: A true late-night Kitchen Chronicle I had just gotten back from Florida. A full week of hot sun, sand, seafood cravings, and a very real jellyfish sting that left a welt and a little bit of attitude. I was itchy, salty, and in the mood to bring some […]
Let’s be real—chicken gets a bad rep sometimes. Folks say it’s boring, basic, or just something you cook when you can’t think of anything else. But I’m here to tell you: with a little seasoning, a little love, and maybe a splash of citrus or a spoonful of curry, chicken […]
I Used to Guess My Meat’s Doneness—Until I Got Smart About Temperature Let me tell you something I wish someone had told me years ago: you don’t need Wagyu beef to make meat taste luxurious. You just need the right temperature, and for that, the best meat thermometer is essential. […]
There are certain dishes that just feel sacred. In our family, Jamaican escovitch fish is one of those. I’ve never had an Easter Sunday without it—and I’m creeping into my 40s. It’s always been on our table, right next to bun and cheese, with my mom at the stove, frying […]
If you’re looking for some fantastic kitchen finds on Amazon, you’ve come to the right place. Some things in my kitchen are just cute. Others make my life way easier. But the best ones? They do both. As a busy mom with a toddler, a full-time job, and a serious […]
When life feels like a race between laundry, work emails, and a toddler asking for snacks every ten minutes, there’s one dinner that never lets me down: DIY Taco Night. But not just any DIY taco night, a DIY Taco Bar Night. I’m talking about a full-blown, flavor-loaded, choose-your-own-topping adventure […]
Jamaican food isn’t just about bold flavors—it’s about memories. It’s about waking up to the sound of a bubbling pot, walking through a house heavy with thyme and curry in the air. It’s about drum pan smoke in the yard, salty hair from the beach, and an ice-cold Ting in […]
Why You’ll Fall in Love with This Arroz con Pollo There’s a reason arroz con pollo is beloved across Latin America and the Caribbean—it’s more than a meal, it’s a moment. Tender, seasoned chicken simmered with aromatics, rice, tomatoes, and spices in one pot? That’s a hug in a bowl. […]
