Chow Mein – Trinidad Style

I love how Junette keeps her family traditions.  Her mother passed away in 2007 but still lives on through her daughter’s cooking.  This dish that Junette made for us all to experience took me to a place that I have never been – TRINIDAD!  You MUST try this dish, you won’t regret it!

Mama’s Red Rice

Most of us have that dish that reminds us of granny.  Craig happens to have a delicious one!  When I watched him make this dish my jaw dropped because of how super simple it was to make.  I couldn’t stop eating it(you saw the video, it’s true!).  His granny did me a huge favor by teaching him how to cook because now I get to try this recipe in my home and enjoy it!  I hope you do as well.  Traditions like these are ones that bring goof family memories for years to come.  A big shout out to granny and Craig!!!  Thank you both!

Suzanne’s Charcuterie Board

Growing up we called these cheese and fruit dishes.  It wasn’t until 2020 that I learned the official name of a charcuterie board. The creativity it takes to put one of these together is just amazing to me.  It brought out a fun side of me that I want to share with my children. Everything about this board looked so difficult until Suzanne from A Board Above broke it down for me.  Now a salami river is in my near future, lol. The next time you have time, go the grocery store, grab some of the things that your friends and family love, gather round and make one of these. This is a great way to bond with a twist!

I have included what WE used for this Charcuterie Board in the recipe cards below, but remember, you can use what YOU prefer so don’t be afraid to GET CREATIVE!!
