Breakfast meatloaf sliders

"Beefy"

How often do we eat beef for breakfast? Depending on where you live that may be a whole lot, but in my family, not very often. We do pork sausages, bacon and chicken. The only time we will do beef for breakfast is when we are having dinner left overs. I wanted to do a recipe that was not a typical beefy dinner recipe. This is basically a beef breakfast sausage seasoned as if it were a meatloaf. Paired with all the yummy things you would expect to see on a breakfast platter.

Jerk sausage beef burgers with a roasted red pepper mayo

My Dinner

If you want a burger that incredibly juicy and flavorful you should probably mix some seasoned pork sausages into the beef. Specifically, jerk pork sausages. Smoked paprika, pepper jack cheese and jerk sausage are a match made in heaven when it comes to burger making.

Pumpkin apple sausage fritters

Pumpkin Everythang!

Jamaican fritters are probably one of the easiest things you can whip up for breakfast that will make everyone happy. They are so versatile, you can basically add anything to them and they will turn out delicious. We generally make sausage, bacon, salt fish or banana fritters. Since its pumpkin month I decided to make some pumpkin fritters.

Maple Sage Chicken Sausage

Fowl 

I think sausages are that one thing that everyone sees as intimidating. We all just assume it’s so complicated, you need casings and sausage stuffers and fancy meat grinders. Today’s recipe proves that making a delicious 100% meat sausage, takes the same amount of effort as any other chicken dish I have made thus far. So if its homemade sausage you want, you can get it.

Not your mamas chicken roulade!

Fowl 

It’s been a while since I made something fun and crazy. I figured if I’m going to step outside the box chicken month might just be the month to do it. Chicken, juicy sausage and cheese, if you don’t like any of those three ingredients this is not the post for you. Probably the most success I have ever had stuffing cheese into chicken. I usually end up with a deep fryer full of burnt cheese but not today!

Spicy mango sweet and sour dogs

Mango is in season! 

This is probably one of the most delicious hotdogs I have ever made. Generally my hot dog grilling consists of sausages, honey, bbq sauce and toppings. Since its mango month I had to attempt to make a delicious mango condiment. This wasn’t exactly the condiment I had planned but it worked out just beautifully all the same.

Creamy sausage pasta

I love Pasta

In all fairness its pasta month and last Friday I didn’t give you a pasta recipe. I gave you half of the equation, which was that delicious and most perfect marinara sauce; perfect in every way, especially for the vegetarians. Today we are going to turn that sauce into a meaty sausage sauce and toss it with some penne. It probably the simplest pasta recipe I have done thus far, especially since I already had the marinara set aside since last Friday. If you want to use a pre-made marinara sauce, be my guest. But I do implore you to make the mushroom marinara sauce, and if you don’t like mushrooms this sauce will make you like them.

Meat lover’s omelet

The best way to eat an egg!

This omelette is for all the nitpicky persons out there; the people who don’t eat tomatoes, or onions, or peppers. Instead of enjoying their meals are too busy picking out all the veggies, today we get right to the point; eggs, meat, cheese, done!

Honey rosemary sausage

Luncahbles

Taking lunch to work is all good and well. But there comes a time when you are in no mood to prepare a lunch from the night before. If you are in need for something quick and simple to prepare, and by quick I mean 10 minutes max then this might be the lunch for you.

Jerk sausage pinwheels

Breakfast is served

Can I tell you how I made my own smoked jerk sausage? It was by far the most tedious thing I’ve ever done.  I chopped the meat; ground it seasoned, stuffed it into casings then slowly hot smoked them on the grill for three hours. They didn’t come out to bad for a first timer. Now I’m using the sausages I make to make some yummy jerk sausage pinwheels. You are free to use any store bought sausage you like. I will be sharing my sausage tutorial in the coming weeks as a curious class... but on to the pinwheels.

Sausage apple hash Stuffed Waffles

 

Breakfast is served

Mothers day is around the corner, and I'm sure your mom would like to have breakfast in bed. This Friday I am here serving up yet another delicious breakfast. In conforming with the stuffed theme of the week (Tuesday I posted salmon filled corn muffins), on the menu today is a waffle stuffed with a yummy sausage apple hash.

Scotch pumpkins, not eggs

"Pumpkin Everythang”

 Scotch eggs, are a popular picnic food  in Britain. It’s a soft or hard boiled egg, wrapped in sausage, breaded then baked or fried.  It’s sold everywhere in Britain even gas stations (shocking I know).  Serve them with ranch sauce, honey mustard or gravy. I decided to put my own little spin on this and make it even yummier by replacing the eggs with balls of pumpkin. What a great way to cut the cholesterol levels .

JJ’s Grilled bun n cheese

Independence Month!

In Jamaica, all year round but especially in Easter time, a delicious snack consumed is bun and cheese.  Now that I think about it, we Jamaicans like to slap cheese on everything, bun, bulla, bread, crackers, even in patties. And the cheese I’m referring to is the thick, salty, cheddar ‘tastee’ Jamaican cheese. When you think of Jamaica and you think of cheese, this comes to mind.
