While I’m not the biggest fan of eggs in fried rice, with leftover rice in the fridge, I thought I’d make (and share) a quick meal for lunch. In speaking with my parents and siblings, I can confirm that the same holds for them. Eggs in fried rice is a huge PASS!

I LOVE Rice and Roti, however there’s something very special about Stewed Chicken gravy on macaroni and cheese, especially if it’s made with an aged white cheddar. When I’m in a pinch I unusually use the stuff you get in the box, but when I have time I usually use my mom’s no-fuss recipe for…
Mom never owned a slow cooker (and we’ve talked about her and her dislike for pressure cookers – that she passed on to us), so the lentils she would make about 2 times a month, was slow-cooked on the stove top. That recipe I’ll share with you another day. For now, here’s my take on…
As part of our ongoing #MeatFreeMonday series, I’ decided to share a rice recipe my girls and I get excited about. Not something I grew up eating on the islands, but nevertheless made in an ‘island’ influenced kitchen in Canada (smile). Plump grains of rice with a deep and rice tomato and herb flavor and the gentle heat achieved by adding a Bird’s Eye Pepper. This recipe is somewhat similar to the Roasted Tomato Choka And Rice Soup recipe I shared a while back.
With such a busy lifestyle we tend to live today, it’s always nice to have a comforting home-cooked meal waiting for us when we get home. With that in mind I decided to start exploring ways to tailor some of our classic Caribbean dishes for being prepared in a slow cooker (or crock pot). With this slow cooker Curry Goat, you’ll get that lovely Caribbean ‘curry’ with fall-of-the-bones tenderness mommy raised us on. I highly encourage you to give this method of cooking curry goat a try.
Here’s a quick and tasty recipe putting leftover rice (which you may already have in the fridge) and a can of salmon to work, for what I assure you is an incredible one-pot dish. While the use of the can (or ‘tin’ as we would normally say in the Caribbean) may seem a little strange if you’ve never tried it… I quickly learned that it truly is a great addition to what could potentially be a boring fried rice. This is one of the many go-to recipes I employ when lunch-time hits and I have some rice in the fridge.
