'Calling it a done 2021 with this delicious and refreshing (not too sweet) frozen flavour: Chocolate Mint Winter Smoothie. 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...

// Love, Faith, and Poinsettias

Our flowing foliage of the season. Hello Winter! 'Wishing Everyone a safe, healthy, loving, and joyful Christmas, wherever you are in the world. It's been a tremendously busy and challenging year for many, especially our families with young children. To my blog family and Ed Group, thank you so much for being here and honestly supporting and caring for each other. It's been my absolute! pleasure. We wrapped up last Friday with a few posts scheduled while enjoying some time away. Here's to lots of fun at-home pampering and bonding, enjoying all the simple gifts of life and living well. And just as I was 'playfully' chatting about being in alignment with the Pearly Gates :) a couple weeks ago, Joel greeted us with more laughter and another uplifting message. Here's to "counting our blessings, naming them, thanking the Lord, and reaping the benefits." 💕~xx

// 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

// Salted Key Lime Ice Cream

Spring came early this year, in January actually, as did Spring Break #1, where we gave ourselves full permission to enjoy two rounds of it because, because —and we wanted to begin our new year with a light and airy feel. A sweet, tart and fragrant citrus can take us there, so I indulged with some freshly picked Key limes (also known as West Indian limes) for starters. This refreshing ~Salted Key Lime Ice Cream is a softer serve (no eggs or added stabilizers) for a lush and lovely authentic flavour. Pure pleasure. Here's to a serendipitous spring season. ~xx
