We all need a staple that will work with almost everything come dinner time. Something that will complement the heartiest meat such as my Asian beef stew, for instance. Well here it is, herb rice, it’s a sensational light and aromatic rice that goes oh so well with pungent meat or fish.
Beef stew is one of those meals you enjoy sat on the sofa with your feet up while you enjoy your meaty meal. With a glass of wine perhaps watching a movie or TV show that has you gripped – am I right? Well that’s what happens in my home. So if you’re in the mood for a meaty meal with complex flavors try my Asian beef stew.
Now that the weather is getting chilly and it will soon be cold in New York, instead of eating my brunch time favorite meal, smoked salmon scramble, on toast, I skip the bread and go for these babies, rosemary roasted potatoes.
Smoked salmon scramble on toast is such a nice meal for breakfast or bunch on the weekend. It feels like a treat, and you need to treat yourself at some point during the week. If you’re like me you treat yourself a lot, which to me means this smoked salmon scramble will be in strong rotation.

I love brussels sprouts and broccoli. The crunch in the bite, the sensory experience of their odd characteristics, and the healing benefits make me smile. I really don’t understand why there are so many who avoid eating them. To entice my friends who try to avoid these wonderful vegetables, I add high flavor ingredient such as balsamic vinegar, or a sweet and spicy sauce. Either way they are delicious and I would like to share my brussels sprouts and broccoli with bacon recipe with you to remind you that these vegetables are here – and it’s time to enjoy them.
Miami Caribbean Carnival was so much fun again this year. I try to go every year to shake up my behind to the latest soca music, bask in the Florida sunshine and enjoy the traditional Caribbean food on offer.
Here’s a really tasty soup, very wholesome – roasted blue pumpkin soup. It’s a little sweet which lends to being served hot or cold, and with the holidays on the horizon it would make for a great introduction to a holiday meal.
Note to self: when traveling and blogging, make sure the wi-fi in the hotel provides enough bandwidth to allow you to do what is required!
Last week, I had great plans to add to my blog while in Miami for the 2015 Caribbean Carnival. I had some well thought out posts to create, all I needed was a comfortable room with a balcony and a view.
