Apple stuffing biscuits

"Christmas is coming"

I’m back at it again with anther biscuit. This recipe has been in my head for a while. My real intention was to add some corn flour or actual cornbread and sausages and make it like an apple sausage cornbread stuffing biscuit. But I decided that I would play it safe and eliminate the sausages and cornbread. Not to mention that I am living with a vegetarian now who is the biggest foodie ever and I did not want to prevent her from devouring these biscuits. So, that other biscuit is shelved for now.

Roasted Pumpkin cranberry hash

“Pumpkin Everythang”

I’m not going to sugar coat it, this recipe arrived from sheer desperation of something quick and easy for dinner. I was cooking some salmon and ran out to the grocery store leaving my mother to start the rice. As I walked back into the house she said we have no rice. I was not about to go back out the door. All we had were a few 'fluxy' potatoes, flour and pumpkin. So our choices were baked or mashed potatoes, boiled dumplings or baked pumpkin. So baked pumpkin it was.

Foil roasted fish

 

Something smells fishy... 

I will admit I stole this recipe from my aunt, “Miss set it and forget it“. This lady uses any excuse she can to throw food in the oven and leave it there until it’s ready. Especially for reheating, I often shake my head as she warms leftovers in foil for 20 minutes in the oven as opposed to using the perfectly working microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds….sigh…to each his own. In any case I’m not complaining, because I got this fish recipe as a result of her insanity (or genius).

Boneless Citrus ginger Cornish hens stuffed with Sausage pumpkin rice

  "Pumpkin Everythang”

The words thanksgiving and turkey are almost synonymous. Normally you don’t find one without the other, but personally I’m not a fan. This large bird needs the right amount of TLC to be delicious. My late grandma was one to apply that perfect amount of TLC to yield an awesome turkey and an even more awesome turkey salad in the days to follow.  Now-a-days whenever we are in New York for thanksgiving, or when we have thanksgiving dinner in Jamaica (Jamaica?? Yes I know.. My mother just loves any excuse to set the table) we always do another type of roast poultry, out of sheer laziness and the plain fact that Jamaicans generally don’t like turkey. What better substitute than a Cornish hen.
