Danzii's Easy Homemade Recipes

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...

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 ...

Boxed Mac & Cheese with Leftover Jerk Pork topped with Caramelized  Onions and Scallion Cheese again! Or whatever she said. Sometimes, we lose time whether we think that it's a different day than it actually is, or we're just too busy with work and life. When this happens our stomachs feel the consequences of that neglect. But, no more, I say! NO MORE!  I came up with this recipe one Sunday afternoon when I realized, around noon, that it was actually Sunday and not Saturday .  I didn't make preparations for dinner. What to do? I looked in the fridge and I found leftover jerk pork, I saw boxed mac and cheese and I decided to make something out of it.  So, I'd like to share this with you all. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. As usual, I'll give you my tips at the end for substitutions for this recipe. Jason, this one's for you!  Full Disclosure: I don't have step by step pictures for this one, but it's super easy, so don't...

Easy Beef Stir  Fry with Fresh Vegetables and Rice Noodles So, we're all dealing with this threat of COVID-19, but since we're all practicing our social distancing and can't saunter on out to our favorite Asian restaurants, how 'bout we bring the food to our own kitchens? I guarantee that by the time you're done making this dish, you low-key may never order stir fry from anywhere else ever again except from your kitchen!  Full Disclosure: This dish does have some spicy notes to it, if you have heartburn the recipe can be tinkered with to dial back some of the heat.  Throughout this recipe I will be noting alternatives that you can use and achieve the same bold flavors. As always, I really want you to have fun making this, and please let me know how it came out or if there is anything additional that you added for extra niceness! This one's for you, Lox! xoxo Danzii  Total Prep Time: 60 Minute Ingredients 1 ½ lbs. of pre-cut flan...
