// Jamaican Jerk Chicken

Moving right along with our many shades of chicken: Jamaican Jerk Chicken in lettuce wraps! Fragrant, flavourful, and with a kick of earthy fierceness which you can take up a few notches, or minimize to also indulge our younger kids and grands. :) This main always delivers in simple, laid-back yardie-style. Slow food continues to be so good for us. And this was oven-baked, indoors. It's hot out there. Easy recipe after the jump...

// Moving Forward: What Worked?

Every industry is going through the daily push and pulls to maintain an active momentum right now and Education is right up there with creating a safe and doable learning and working school day for our young children...

// Frozen Coconut Whip

Practice sure makes perfect. It took three test runs to get this loved laid-back flavour the way I wanted it, last year. ~Frozen Coconut Whip.🥥  Light and summer-y with simple all natural ingredients. Let our celebrations begin! And, happy Jamaica Independence Day! #beachmode  🇯🇲 🏖️

// Classroom Connections: Hello August!~ + Getting Ready

Yep! It's a busy month for Teachers and those in Education as we gear up for our new school year: 2021 - 2022. Much remains up in the air with official beginnings given our COVID-19 Delta variant (with Gamma and Lambda right behind)... However You choose to begin and transition through the new school year (virtually, or in a school classroom setting), as Front-Line Leaders, leading from the front, remember to stay encouraged, inspire trust, believe the best of your Students, Teachers and Staff, genuinely lift others up, and follow through with those in your care. It shows respect, and encourages open communication.

Here's to a safe and healthy year ahead. ~xx

// The Summer Bagel Burger

They weren't kidding when they said Thursday's children have a far way to go...   — and taking the scenic route is an absolute must. This year's summer sandwich in burger form, switching things up with a favourite gluten-free bagel choice, and a layer of something new. So delicious. Breakfast, lunch, and even dinner — done, done, and done! Happy Sunday! 🥯
