VEGGIE PASTA

Time is constant, but we are always looking for more of it. For those days when I’m feeling lazy or I’m pressed for time, here’s something that’s not only nutritious and quick to whip up, but also really delicious! My two taste-testers, hubby and Ms. J, don’t mind 🙂

I like to add grape tomatoes for a punch of color during the last two minutes.

This will definitely be a recurring meal as soon as the twinsies can eat solid food :*)

Pork Chops: Where have you been?

With the ever increasing food prices, we decided to try pork chops last year and it’s been a family favorite since! At one point it was on a weekly rotation 🙂

The plantains (The key to the perfect plantains is making sure they are ripe but not too ripe) add a level of sweetness and the rice, gungo rice…this has replaced the infamous Jamaican Rice and Peas (many say Red Beans and Rice).

It tastes as good as it looks if not better 🙂
