My Feel Good Lunch!!! Ground Turkey Stuffed Potatoes with Roasted Vegetables


This is a healthier version to a Twice Baked Potato, A few simple ingredients makes this so tasty and delicious. Having the protein stuffed into the potato, reduces the urge to have a large amount of meat on your plate and with the addition of Flax seeds, you get a higher fiber content. Accompanying the potato with a side of Roasted veggies makes you feel even better about your meal. Seeing vegetables on your plate lets you know that you're about to eat something healthy. Sometimes vegetables can be a bit boring and bland tasting, I wanted my veggies to be full of flavor .
This meal also makes for a great meal prep. I usually make about 3-4 stuffed potatoes and 3 servings of vegetables. Place the potatoes in individual containers with a serving of the veggies and place in the fridge. When ready to use,just warm them up in the microwave.

July 25th is a very special day. It's the day that my grandmother gave birth to the most amazing man I've ever known, MY DAD!!!!!.  He's a very simple man and not so much into eating exotic or "fancy" meals.

Whilst in the supermarket,I stumbled upon a bag of seafood mix, I thought that would make a perfect meal for him.

Dominoes Who???? Tammie's Garlic Bread for Dinner



For dinner my mom and I didn't want anything complicated, I didn't want to prep a bunch of ingredients and slave over the stove. We wanted something simple and easy. We considered ordering some Dominoes Garlic Bread because that's my favorite but I remembered we had some pizza dough in the fridge. So I decided instead of buying garlic bread,why don't we make it. It always feels good when you make your meals yourself.




No Fuss Pizza Dough







I've tried a lot of different pizza dough recipes, but I think this one is by far the easiest. It's now my go-to recipe. It's easy and produces a crust that rises nicely when cooked in an oven or on the grill and still remains tender. So much better than the dough you buy in the supermarket - and no chemicals additives!

After a long day of doing chores around the house, I didn't want to spend too much time on lunch. I wanted something filling that won't take to much effort. This meal is one of the simplest and easiest to put together, Everyday veggies with minimal seasoning. I didn't want to overpower the simplicity of the dish by adding a bunch of complicated seasonings. Everything is done in one pan which makes for an easy clean up. It's visually pleasing and taste just as good as it looks.
This meal can be made for date night with that special someone, dinner with friends or as I did for lunch.

Homemade Green Seasoning



Green Seasoning is a Caribbean staple. It is used in almost all recipes. People usually buy a bottle at the local supermarket but those of us who love to cook, prefer to make it from scratch. It's a simple recipe,with lots of the everyday veggies. I don't use precise measurements, I usually eyeball it and put more of what i like to taste.
 I guarantee that once you make and use the recipe, you won't ever buy the bottled stuff again.
And you get the satisfaction of knowing exactly what's placed in it.


Creamy Bell Pepper Risotto with BBQ Sauce Baked Chicken.




Today I wanted to try something a bit fancy but easy to pull together for dinner. I've had this packet of Arborio rice for about 2 months now and I finally decided to use it. I was a bit nervous because I've never made risotto before but i knew i wanted to take a swing at it.
I've watched enough cooking videos on how to make it, so i was pretty comfortable once i got started. All risotto dishes requires the same process but it's the different ingredients you put in it that makes the dish uniquely yours.
I wanted to pair the risotto with another simple but flavorful dish. Since risotto is a delicate dish, you can't put strong spices or a bunch of ingredients in it. I decided to pair it with chicken that's packed with flavor but not strong enough to over power the delicateness of the risotto.

Fried rice with plantain sauteed in garlic butter,stew chicken and salad




Today i decided to do something out of the ordinary for lunch. Instead of the normal white rice and chicken, i thought I'd go with fried rice and stew chicken with peas and since i currently have a huge amount of plantain in my backyard, i wanted to try something different. Instead of the regular boil in salted water, i thought I'd go the extra mile and saute them in a garlic infused butter.
The garlic adds another level of flavor to the plantains and the butter makes it moist and rich.
My first attempt at fried rice went surprisingly well, although it's a bit lighter in color than I'd hope but it tastes great. I wanted to finish the dish with a simple salad, lettuce and tomatoes tossed with a mixture of olive oil, salt, black pepper,lime juice and minced garlic.  :)
