Spring has Sprung! Let's Make Beautiful Sunday Dishes with a Hint of Spring

Traditional Pork Piccata with Herb Roasted Potatoes  &  Beetroot Pickle I came across a beautiful cut of Copperwood pork chops the other day and I just had them sitting in the freezer because I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do with them.  Then I had an epiphany! I really didn't... 😍Bobby Flay😍 posted a super easy Pork Piccata recipe and I thought I should try it and so I did. Like you, this was my first time making this dish. Honestly, if I am keeping it a buck, on a scale of one to dynamite, the flavors in this dish EXPLODED💥! The greatest thing about this dish is how amazingly easy it is to prepare. "Piccata...I don't even know what that is...that doesn't sound easy, Danzii." Trust me, it's literally under an hour to prepare and another 20-30 minutes to meal prep.  Please let me know if you've tried this and tell me about the taste!  xoxo Danzii  Total Prep Time : 60-90 minutes Serves : 2 Ingredients 1-1.5lbs o...

When Life Gives You Pumpkin Make Alfredo

Spiced Chorizo Pumpkin Alfredo A  couple weeks ago I saw a tweet where a young sir dragged the entire timeline for the overall lack of creativity when making pasta. Chicken Alfredo wasn't spared. In fact, Chicken Alfredo got all the smoke. While I don't love Chicken Alfredo, I just felt like I needed to represent the Alfredo "family" by switching things up a bit. It was time to come up with a nontraditional pasta so I could be exempt from the  Alfredo drag.  I went to the supermarket the other day and took up copious amounts of pumpkin without having any real recipes in mind. So, after I saw the tweet and noticed the pumpkin sitting in the fridge, I thought that I should definitely create something different.  I really liked this dish because I didn't use every single ingredient in the fridge, it was quick & easy to make and of course, it was suuuuper delicious!  Young sir, I did this one with you in mind!  xoxo Danzii  T...

Having a Mondayish Monday? How Bout We Make Breakfast Wraps Instead?

Spicy Breakfast Wrap with Traditional Jamaican Breakfast Favorites As a child my breakfast was either plantain, eggs and sausage or bacon, porridge of some sort or cereal. As I got older, it remained the same. What? You thought I was about to tell you that I started making Croque Madame? Well, I eventually will but I am still eating my all time favorites just with a little twist.  I want to call this a breakfast burrito, but one of my favorite little cafes in Kingston has already done that. It's my favorite thing to order each time I go there. How do I know? Because it's the only thing I ever get.  Since, we're on stay at home orders, I rummaged through the fridge and I found the same ingredients that I love in a breakfast burrito. So, I thought I would make my own with my little twist, of course.  This one's for the breakfast lovers!  xoxo Danzii  Total Prep Time : 45-60 minutes  Serves : 2  Ingredients ...
