Stew Pork Hock

"JAMAICAN FLAVORS"

When stew beef turns into stew pork hock. That’s how this recipe came to be. I headed to the grocery store to get some beef to make a beef stew. When I got to the grocery store they had barely two packs of beef for stewing and they were not looking good at all. Right next to the beef a guy from the back just put out a whole heap of fresh pork. I went over to the  pork area and began looking at pork chops. Then I saw that pork hocks were half the price of pork chops, I was absolutely shocked. Who knew pork hock was a thing?

Ital Pumpkin Rasta Pasta

Pumpkin Everythang!

What is rasta pasta? The general consensus is that it’s any pasta dish which utilizes the colors of the Rastafarian flag, yellow , red and green. I notice when you google rasta pasta, the results are filled with a whole bunch of pasta recipes which contain meat. I have to admit I found it quite amusing, since the true Rastafari is vegan. Some die hearted ones don’t even use heat to cook their food, let alone top their pasta with grilled chicken. So I decided I would stick to what I’m sure is the origin and make a vegan, Rasta pasta.

'Carrots n Cream'

Cake Cake Cake...
 
The only way to feel better about stuffing your face with cake is to make sure it’s a vegetable cake; I mean, that is what a carrot cake is? What sounds better than having a large, sweet slice of your daily serving of vegetable? What makes this even better is the lack of cream cheese icing, instead is a light refreshing dollop of whipped cream, rendering this cake totally guilt free.
