Raising Children to Weather the Storm
I’ve been craving for Jamaican curry chicken for a while now. Between work, classes, and tending to my one year old, it’s been pretty tough to squeeze in time for some down home cookin’. I’ve gotten my 20 minute meals down pat. But there are times when I want some real Jamaican food. Sometimes my mom…
It seems like the holidays came so fast this year. Every where I turn I see Christmas lights! I think that retailers skipped over Thanksgiving decorations and went right to the Christmas displays.

I’m sure a lot of you parents out there can relate to sick children. It’s even worse when they’re babies. They can’t vocalize their pain. My Princess has been sick with a bad chest cold for a few days now and it doesn’t seem to be getting any better. The worse part is that she…
I am an island girl, originally from Jamaica. So, when it comes to throwing down in the kitchen, I may know a thing or two. I always knew that I wanted to feed my kids freshly prepared meals. I make it a point to puree fresh fruits and veggies for my little one. But…
