Raising Children to Weather the Storm
Seafood has always been my favorite food growing up, hands down. Shrimp, lobster, calamari, crab cakes, you name it. Since becoming vegan, I’ve been experimenting with creating some of my favorite seafood dishes. Recently, I’ve been craving some of my old favs. So, I decided to make some vegan crab cakes. I wasn’t sure…
Jamaican Easter traditions have always been a big part of my childhood. It’s one of the biggest holidays in Jamaica. Good Friday and Easter Monday are holidays, which means a four day weekend (the only one throughout the year). So, getting together with family is usually a festive and fun occasion.

Spring roll is my go-to-appetizer at restaurants. We stopped by one of our favorite spots and ordered a few for the table the other day. We don’t eat out on a regular basis, but the spring roll I had made me want to reconsider. Then I realized that I can probably make them myself. How…
Ackee and Saltfish is Jamaica’s national dish. We had a ackee tree in our front yard back home. It’s always been one of my favorite meals growing up.
