So I kind of cheated with this recipe as I used store-bought falafel. I will be honest, homemade is way better, but sometimes these short-cuts are necessary. This is why this recipe is such a perfect week-day meal but still something a bit different. The rice (I used brown rice, but you can switch it... Continue Reading →
Breaded chicken and then fried in a bit of oil is so good. I usually try to bake everything in the oven just to make it a bit more healthy. However, sometimes dinner just calls for chicken fried in oil! It takes a few minutes to bread the chicken but other than that this dish... Continue Reading →
I was born and raised on St. Maarten, an island in the Caribbean. Not only did I love growing up there but the food is something I definitely miss.

I’ll be honest, I am one of those strange people that eat their wings with knife and fork (sorry!). Such an embarrassment to my family. These chicken tenders are great as a... Continue Reading →
Another burger, but so worth it. I could eat avocado, salsa and nachos all day, every day. So why not top it on a burger? Just seems like the right thing to do. Add some tortilla chips on the side and you have such a tasty dish. One bite of this tomato salsa and you... Continue Reading →
Peanut sauce is the best. I remember eating this as a kid and dipping anything from chicken, vegetables and my potatoes in it. Now there is an even easier and healthy way to make chicken satay. Blend the sauce, pour it over the chicken and bake in the oven. Serve with green veggies, roasted potatoes... Continue Reading →
I love me a good burger! Whether beef, fish, veggie, pork or chicken. I am a true believer that burgers don’t need an excessive amount of toppings, simplicity is the best. This is such an easy burger: throw the chicken in the oven (allow the fat to turn crispy), the onions are ready in about... Continue Reading →
So I was a bit in a cooking rut. This happens once a while and I just seem to lose inspiration. Luckily, it does not happen often and quickly disappears. Anyone else experience this? Today I made a quick and yummy lunch. The boss of the house (my 1.5 year old daughter) loved it and... Continue Reading →
