When I think about meatballs, I usually associate them with pasta and marinara sauce. However, that's not the only way to serve them. I...

This week's recipe is still a work in progress. Not that it's bad (I promise never to post anything I wouldn't eat myself), but I'm just...

I've always wished that I could get excited about eating plain veggies. Wouldn't it be great if eating a bag of carrot sticks could...

I was quite proud of myself this week. It's still cold, and I really wanted to make Bouyon (Haitian Beef Stew). I had been looking for a...

📷 We got a little snow yesterday! My dog Ruby had the chance to experience snow for the first time, and she loved it as much as I do. My...

📷 Not sure if anyone noticed, but it's been a while since my last post. I had originally planned on creating a post with my Super Bowl...

I have a confession: I don't know much about wine. This was mostly a non-issue for me before moving to Seattle because most of my friends...

Dessert was a rare thing growing up. I'm not sure if it's just because my mom doesn't have much of a sweet tooth, if it was more that she...

My best friend is in town! In addition to all the fun we’re going to have and sights we’re going to see, it also means an opportunity to...

One of my all-time favorite party foods is Griot (Haitian fried pork). Not only do I love the flavor, but since it was generally only...

If there was one thing I could count on being a part of most dinners and every dinner party, it was rice and beans. I ate so much of it...

I have never seen a Haitian woman use a recipe, and that includes my mother. I remember the very first time my mom gave me a cooking...
