In these cooler months, I love comforting meals that are delicious and healthy. Chili is always at the top of that list. My mom always made chili when I was growing up and she still makes it to this day. It’s the best chili I’ve ever had. When I became an adult, I tried to make my own dishes that were reminiscent of what she made. But I was a…

Coconut Chickpea Curry + Rice
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.

Growing up in Bermuda mean Caribbean style Curry Chicken, which of course is very different from the Indian and Thai curries.…

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.

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…

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…
