Happy Friday! How do you like your sno-cones? Guava? Pineapple? Cherry? I'm an all of the above, mickey mouse ears, no milk kinda gal 😂

Happy Monday! This tough, and relatively cheap, p

Happy Monday! This tough, and relatively cheap, piece of meat (Flank Steak) is both flavorful and easy to make deliciously tender. Here's how!⁠
⁠
• Marinate overnight (I also like to 'jab' the meat with a small knife against the grain both to break up the connective tissue and to allow the tenderizing marinade to penetrate more deeply)⁠
⁠
• Prepare to medium/medium-rare doneness. The meat will get slightly tougher as it cooks longer.⁠
⁠
• Slice thinly -against- the grain⁠
⁠
I cooked this recipe from Atikins.com [LINK IN BIO] on a medium-high heat for 90 seconds per side and then "tented" it with foil for 10 minutes. The result was tender, juicy and delightlfully garlicky.The flavour only got better the longer the meat sat. To reheat I recommend using a steamer on a low heat. It will warm through the meat while keeping it juicy and at relatively the same amount of "doneness".⁠
⁠
Speaking of Atkins. Fun Fact! Did you know that Trinidadian scientist Gaston Pawan was the first to isolate the science that led to the creation of the Atkins Diet? You can learn these and other facts about Trinidadian Scientists and Engineers at Niherst.gov! ⁠

Mango Chow [LINK IN BIO] Hand a Trini some slightl

Mango Chow [LINK IN BIO] Hand a Trini some slightly under-ripe (or tart) fruit and many's first thought will be "Time to make a chow!". Light and spicy, chow consists of marinating fruit in a mixture of salt, pepper, garlic and (essential) chadon beni/bandhania/culantro. It's a great quencher and quite refreshing on hot days.⁠

This recipe for Skillet Potatoes & Green Beans com

This recipe for Skillet Potatoes & Green Beans comes from @budgetbytes and, even though the final result is richly flavored, it couldn’t be simpler to bring together. Don’t worry if everyone thinks you had to slave over a stove to get these results. It will be our little secret! [LINK IN BIO]⁠

Have you ever had Cuban Chicken Fricassee? This fa

Have you ever had Cuban Chicken Fricassee? This family recipe came my way in 2021 from SNFamalay member @spankmybetty and I am so grateful to him for trusting me and helping me with my questions when I made it on-stream last week!⁠
⁠
The best way for me to describe it to those familiar with Trini foods is “Imagine if Stewed Chicken and Pastelles collided!” Confused? Envision chicken pieces marinated in herb-filled citrus juices and then cooked until falling off the bone with olives, raisins, potatoes, tomatoes and olive oil. ⁠
⁠
I’ve posted, with permission, the original recipe (along with my alternate Instant Pot directions) to the blog, so go check it out! [LINK IN BIO]⁠

Whether you call it melongene, eggplant, baigan, aubergine or garden egg (my mom's Jamaican), you’re referring to one of my favorite ingredients. And when you are talking about Stuffed Eggplant you are definitely referring to one of my favorite dishes. It’s such a favorite that from a child, until recently, my mother made it for me every birthday. I looked forward to it more than the cake! [LINK IN BIO]⁠

What is the strangest thing that you've consumed for its nutritional value? When I was in high school there was a brief craze among my parents, and their friends, to make noni juice at home. If you've never smelled a noni fruit count yourself lucky, very lucky! There was no way to avoid the "aroma" on those weekends! 😂

Happy Friday all! I just had to share a throwback

Happy Friday all! I just had to share a throwback pic of this awesome @instantpotofficial Air Fryer Lid that I procured a year ago thanks to the generosity of the SN Famalay! So far I've had wonderful results with the bake, broil and air-fry features (and shown the process on-stream). I'm still to utilise the roast and dehydrate settings but I know I will eventually. Definitely a wonderful supplement to my well-used dedicated Air-Fryer and a wonderful expansion of the Instant Pot's original capabilities! ⁠
⁠
Have you tried it? 😊✨💕⁠

Unfortunately, although this model doesn't seem to be available anymore I do notice there are a lot of reasonably priced "dupes" on Amazon. If you want to learn more, or want to see what other Kitchen Gadgets are in my arsenal, check out my Amazon Storefront! [LINK IN BIO]⁠

👫 ENTERTAINING IS FUN! Or at least it should be

👫 ENTERTAINING IS FUN! Or at least it should be. I love going all out when I have friends over but it definitely takes some advance planning to make sure everything is in place when they arrive! ⁠
⁠
Sometimes that doesn’t happen though and you just have to roll with the punches! Those moments are often what create the best memories! ⁠
⁠
I remember one evening when I had just put bread in the oven and a guest called to say they would have to cancel as their ride had bailed on them. It was a small gathering so we all bounced into my car to pick them up! It was a definite ice breaker and hey what’s a little “toast” between friends lol 😆⁠

With a Milo Cookie crust base and a perimeter of Tollhouse Chocolate Chips (both from @nestlecaribbean) and light coffee notes from @angosturahouse Mokatika liqueur. The end result was definitely bakery worthy. Smooth, firm and not too sweet⁠

Happy Carnival Monday! I’m laying low this year

Happy Carnival Monday! I’m laying low this year but had to share a happy memory from last Carnival when I had the honour of wearing this Firewoman costume by the late Keon Chow Cop on my Carnival-themed Twitch stream! Were you there? 🤗 I’m currently finalizing the details of my Twitch return next month, as well as some new offerings. Stay tuned!

Happy Fantastic Friday T&T! (That's the Friday bef

Happy Fantastic Friday T&T! (That's the Friday before Carnival who may not be familiar) My late father's recipe for Trini Pelau has been a perennial fave on the site since I first posted it back in 2008! [LINK IN BIO] I originally laminated his handwritten notes, given to me when I went off to the US for college, so that they would survive the inevitable spills and splashes of my initial trials. Now I'm so glad I did as they still look as new now as when he first handed them to me. This dish was his go-to over Carnival Monday & Tuesday! ⁠ ⁠

Fiery red and garlicky in taste, Trinidad ‘Stew

Fiery red and garlicky in taste, Trinidad ‘Stew Fish’ is a simple dish to master as the ingredients are few. My adaptation of my father’s recipe (with gluten-free option) lessens the traditional assertiveness of the garlic in preference for a milder, luxurious tomato-butter sauce that is more suited for entertaining [LINK IN BIO]⁠ ⁠
