Hands up if you love curry! That’s my arm over there waving manically. I used to order various Indian curries when I ate meat, mainly Chicken Tikka Masala and Balti dishes. And then I was introduced to Thai curries and Green Curry became my fave, with chicken of course. Growing up in Bermuda mean Caribbean style Curry Chicken, which of course is very different from the Indian and Thai curries.…

Easy Brown Rice Pasta & Veggies
If you’re anything like me, this time of year you want nothing more than comfort food. And you know what’s comforting, a big bowl of pasta. But again, if you’re like me, you probably committed to being healthier this year and find yourself in the gym daily. You probably are also cooking healthier food so that your results will show. So, pasta is likely a no no right about…

Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Valentines Day is tomorrow! Are you a fan or do you hate it?! I’ve never been crazy about Valentines Day to be honest. I find it to be an overpriced holiday for the most part. But, I’ll never turn down decadent chocolates or a beautiful bouquet of flowers, not roses – too cliché. I also enjoy a lovely dinner but nothing super fancy because then the expectations are too high.…

Spiced Butternut Squash Soup
Even though I love to cook, I’m pretty lazy these days. I like my meals to be done quickly so that I can get to my favourite thing ever – EATING! But just because I like quick meals doesn’t mean I don’t want a ton of flavour. These days, I need my meals to be full of flavour but also healthy. I don’t ever want to skimp on flavour just…

Rainbow Roasted Veggies
When I don’t feel like thinking about what I want to cook, I generally throw things in the oven and hope for the best. I love making sheet pan meals, especially during the week when I don’t have a lot of time to get things together. I thought I was being smart until I talked to my cousin who told me she roasts a big pan of veggies on a…

Tofu + Veggie Fried Rice
Happy Friday! It’s a typical winter day in Bermuda – temps in the 60s and it’s cloudy. Cool, but not cold. This time of year, I want nothing but bowls of comfort food. Think mashed potatoes, risotto, pasta, shepherd’s pie, that sort of thing. But the way my goals are set up, I can only eat those things in moderation as they tend to be off plan. But rice, I…

It’s Restaurant Weeks here in Bermuda and I couldn’t be more excited! Seriously RW is my favourite time of year because I can eat amazing meals in fabulous restaurants for cheap. Well, not cheap, but at a lower cost. It’s basically the perfect way to still eat out and stay on your budget this year because of course you set a goal to spend less and save more in 2019.…

7 Things I’m Leaving Behind in 2018
I sit here writing this on a cold and dreary Friday. It’s that funky time of year when you really don’t know what day it is or what you’re supposed to be doing. Work for the most part is quiet and slow as so many people are out on vacation. Oh and it’s cold. All I want to do is curl up in my bed with a glass of red…
