Magic City Flavors & Destinations
I always loved corn pie except for the fact that most of them contained eggs. I was looking for a recipe for the eggless version for a long time. Then, at a potluck at work, my boss brought this as his side dish. Below is the recipe as he gave it to me. I add... Continue Reading →
There are so many ways of making good curry chicken that it was hard to pick a recipe to share. This is one of my super-favorite dishes to eat with rice and sliced avocados. The version below I got from Foodie Nation, a really exceptional website and YouTube channel in terms of content about Trini... Continue Reading →
When asparagus season rolls around, we indulge in them by using this recipe - it’s easy, fast and delicious. I first ran across this method on the internet, in a recipe by Laura Vitale.

The first person I got this recipe from was Lera Fortune.... Continue Reading →
Mommy adores ketchup; it is almost an addiction for her. She puts on on everything from scrambled eggs to macaroni; cooking would be unfathomable without the addition of this ruby-colored condiment. I always thought it was strange - this all encompassing obsession with gloopy tomatoes, that is, until recently when I started adding it to... Continue Reading →
