A blend of nut milk, ripe bananas, cocoa powder, honey, and a favourite holiday liqueur. Hope you're having a blast at home and enjoying our cozy weather. Cheers to 2022! Recipe after the jump...

// Takeout for Two

'Always feels great to be able to support our local small businesses, especially now. Ali's West Indian Roti Shop is another favourite of ours when it comes to our weeknight or weekend takeout, or 'all the lazies' have taken over. Love their lean and well-seasoned Boneless Goat Dhalpourie Roti served with Curry Potatoes, among so. many. others. :) Peek inside, after the jump...  #families-supporting-families #yardie-night

// Pistachio Nut Ice Cream

'Where I get so much joy these days— working on new ice cream blends. To say I have been wanting to delve into this favourite nut flavour in its purest form, is an understatement. It's been on my quiet(er) mind for at least two years now. But, yes there's a but; I wanted the best green pistachios known, and wasn't going to 'go there' until said nut was literally in my bare hands. It remained on my to-source list. Well, said ingredient spectaculaire arrived out of the blue the first week of this year, 2020, without any request, or even warning, and I almost couldn't believe it, and after closing my front door, I twirled and had my full-on happy dance mid-afternoon, as right there and then my month had already hit a pretty high note. I am ecstatic with the rich deep-bodied pistachio bite, sweet nutty aroma, and smooth velvety elegance of this month's flavour which took me over the moon (and I'm still not back as yet): Pistachio Nut Ice Cream. :) A few beginning behind-the scenes after the jump... Have a snuggly weekend. ~xx

// Ginger-Beer Pork Chops

Warmer (and spicier) fall into winter bites for more home-cozy feels. Stovetop, indoor electric grill, or oven roasted; take your pick. All three are lovely but I continue to be biased with a preference towards my hardest-working, hands-free, timer set toaster oven while I multitask with other at-home pleasures. 'Tis the season. Fun recipe after the jump.
