I hate salmon

 

A few months back I went on a pescaterian venture. The only form of animal protein i consumed was seafood. As a true island girl, I love all seafood with the exception of salmon and lobster (sigh, yes I said lobster, hate it!!!). For some reason the flavor of salmon is so strong and over powering I tend to eat very small pieces of it or none at all.

Holy Chicken pot cornbread muffins

Leftovers are a gift from god. Apparently food fairies that live in our fridge sprinkle crack on our food overnight. Its no secret I often try to cook large portions on a Sunday to allow the fairies to work their magic on Monday’s lunch. So here I was one Sunday wanting to make some chicken pot pie, but as we all know there is nothing worse than reheated crust.

Calling all Burger lovers

You know in the movies when an idea comes to a character? The angels sing, clouds part and a light shines on their faces? This is exactly what happened to me when I concocted this idea to make a burger, but stuff the beef with cheese before cooking.

Grilled chicken alfredo tonight?

I am a firm believer in taking lunch to work from left overs. Sunday cooking is the best because you get at least two days of packed lunch. I'm such a left over lover, I will cook during the week after work, just so I have a packed lunch for the morning.

Shrimp Scampi like a Pro

First and foremost I have to give a shout out to Red Lobster for introducing me to shrimp scampi. It was here that I had my very first taste, one of my guilty pleasures. It’s no secret that their version is way too oily and salty, but its soooo yummy, who can resist? My goal was always to make a shrimp scampi that tasted just like theirs, minus the overdose of butter and hypertensive salt content.

Cooking haul !!!

BREAKING NEWS!!!! 

I interrupt your regular scheduled program, due to the fact that I am overjoyed about my recent kitchen purchases. And by recent I mean I just got these delivered to me 20 minutes ago.

 I have been very interested in a cookware line Joseph Joseph, they make the most colorful modern and unique utensils.  I really had to show some restraint and only purchase items I needed, because lord knows there were a lot of things I wanted.

Spicy Pineapple Bacon Jam

Say what now?

Does bacon have any limitations? Apparently not, who knew you could make a jam with bacon? It’s a secret that I found out on a BBC food program, about 6 years ago! I always wanted to try it, but I just never got around to it.

'Crack' Mix

 How rare is it to purchase a ready-made trail mix, with nothing to pick out? It’s hard I know. I love having trail mix as a snack or just something “fi ketch up mi blood suga” So instead of picking through a mix of wants and want not’s I just decided to mix a batch.

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.

Can’t cook without

There are just some things you can’t live without, can’t do without. Likewise there are some kitchen utensils you can cook without. You don’t even realize how deep this unnatural dependency is until your rummaging through a friends kitchen drawer fighting back tears and wondering how she survives without a mallet.
