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?

Roasted Redpepepr and Ricotta Omelette

The best way to eat an egg!

Ricotta is my new favorite thing; it’s so versatile and subtly delicious. Here on greedy girl cooks we are no strangers to roasted red pepper either. The flavors of the pepper are truly enhanced by roasting them. And paired with ricotta, they make this omelette extra delicious.

Happy Independence Day!!!

I really can’t take total credit for this amazing idea. It was a collaboration between my good friend Nalla and me. In July I was talking to him about my recipes for August and saying I needed one more recipe idea to complete the month. It’s easy to come up with traditional Jamaican recipes and methods, but not as easy to come up with a twist on them.  Now Nalla gets all intellectual on me, and says “based on all the things you already have planned, I feel you need something that utilizes a fruit or veggie, why not make a pickle?” DING, LIGHTBULB!

Doc’s Macaroni Salad

Cookout and BBQ Season!

I have realized that my love for cooking must have come from my grandmother Doc. We spent most  summers with her as children, and and even though she did not actually teach us how to cook,  I vividly remember  how much she enjoyed cooking and serving people. She was always cooking; there was a large spread of food every single Sunday, without fail. She loved Christmas, thanksgiving, making green bean casserole, turkey and chicken salads, lasagna the works.

Cookie cutter eggs

Woke up one weekday morning and began to browse on Facebook (Facebook first thing in the morning? Hello my name is Tay and i'm an addict). I follow a page called interesting and creative designs. They posted some food art, where someone made ring molds from green and red bell peppers which they cooked sunny side eggs inside. GENIUS!!! Breakfast was served.
