Classic Crockpot Chili

 

I’d serve avocado with everything if Hubs would let me

They tell me spring has sprung but I was in Canada recently and Ontario has not got that message.

The Ultimate Dry Spice Rub

dial the cayenne up or down depending on your spice tolerance

One side effect of being a cook -you develop a healthy mistrust of all things processed.

Mint & Cumin Dip

sorry guys but if you don’t do dairy, look away now

A good dip recipe is a useful thing in any cook’s repertoire.

Roasted Pumpkin & Cumin Soup

delicately flavoured, all kinds of yum

I think I’ve mentioned this before but pumpkins in my part of the Caribbean are a very different beast from the traditional orange US ones.

Cauliflower Steaks with Ginger, Turmeric and Cumin

also good cold the next day (mind you, I have a high appreciation for leftovers of all kinds)

The only organic, grass-fed steaks available in my tiny corner of the Caribbean are to be found in the depths of the grocery store freezer section.

Cajun Rubbed Pork Tenderloin

so moist, and delicately spiced

This is recipe from Beyond Bacon – the latest cookbook from the team behind Paleo Parents.

Warm Sweet Potato Hummus

spread on crackers, paleo naan bread or simply eat by the spoonful

If I were stranded on a desert island and could only have one food for the rest of my lonely existence, it’d be sweet potato.

Christmas Devilled Eggs

since they’re a bit green you could serve for St Paddy’s Day too!

Yes, I know every recipe in the month of December is a ‘Christmas…something’.

Zucchini & Avocado Hummus

I ate it with baked sweet potato. It was good.

Something terrible is happening. Some sort of creeping pathology that I can’t seem to contain.

Jerk-style Plantain Fries

like potato chips, but better! (and this is coming from an Irish person)

So plantain is apparently known in some circles as ‘raw banana’.
