No-Bake Oatmeal Raisin Bars

This hassle-free no-bake snack is my go-to when I am craving something sweet. #nobakesnacks #oatmealsnacks

If you have been following me here or over on Youtube, then you would have already noticed I like creating simple yet delicious things. I don’t always want to spend time in the kitchen for hours on end creating things to eat, that’s a big no for me lol. Since starting my weight loss journey this year I am becoming more mindful and aware of the foods I eat and how I prepare them. I love to snack…

Whole Wheat Bread

Bread is a weakness of mine, so I decided to make a healthier option #bread #wholewheatbread #breadbaking

I am a serious bread lover and since I am eating healthier, I did not want to give up the thing I love so much. Instead of doing plain white bread I decided to bake a whole wheat bread with oatmeal. You don’t need any fancy ingredients to create this delicious and healthy bread. I know a lot of whole wheat bread recipes asks for malt and some even honey but if you are on a fixed budget and can…

Tamarind Stew: A Tangy & Sweet Treat

Get a little taste of the islands with this yummy treat you get to make at home #caribbeantreats #tamarindstew #tamarindjam #tamarindrecipe

I honestly think tamarind stew is a right of passage for most Caribbean children. I grew up eating this confection during my breaks at school or as an after-school snack. Yup, a snack! Hey, it’s a fruit so it must be healthy lol. The last time I had tamarind stew I must have been somewhere in my late teens or early twenties (yes mind your business lol). I was so excited when I came across…

Tamarind Drink: A Tropical Delight in a Glass

Tamarind is an underrated fruit in my opinion. This drink brought my back to my childhood and I wanted to share with you #tamarindjuice #tamarindrecipe #tamarindfruit #summerdrinks

Tamarind is an absolute must-try fruit! Having grown up in Antigua, I have fond memories of indulging in this tropical fruit. Picture this: plucking the tamarind directly from the tree, cracking open its shell, and savoring the perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors. Some varieties can be sour, while others offer a subtle hint of sweetness. Personally, I absolutely love it. Allow me to share…
