#RECIPE – Barbecue Turkey Meatloaf

October 31, 2017 by Char

“As we move into fall, I start thinking about and preparing my favorite comfort foods. Meatloaf lives at the top of that list. Several variations of meatloaf make it to our table, and for this post, I’ve created a version with turkey and my zesty barbecue sauce.” http://bit.ly/1aA0nFC

Hot Pepper Sauce Recipe from CĂ´te d’Ivoire | Global Grazers

October 31, 2017 by Char

I don’t like this recipe too much because I’m not crazy about hot peppers; but, the rest of my family loves it, especially with klaklo (plantain fritters). Editor’s Note: This recipe […]

I love African hot pepper sauce and the one I’ve had on many occasions is Liberian fried pepper sauce. It’s everything! Because Cote d’Ivoire is also in West Africa and only a couple of countries away from Liberia, this pepper sauce is probably very similar. I can’t wait to give it a try! FIRE!!!

October 7, 2017 by Char

Todd Wilbur’s Top Secret Recipes for Margaritaville Jamaica Mistaica Wings, Chi Chi’s Mexican Fried Ice Cream and Subway Bourbon Street Glaze

Margaritaville Jamaica Mistaica Wings:

Margaritaville Jamaica Mistaica Wings copycat recipe by Todd Wilbur

Menu Description: “Come back to Jamaica! Our wings tossed in habanero-honey wing sauce with cucumber sticks and house-made mango ranch dipping sauce.”

One of my favorite wing shack mottos is “Chicken is chicken, but the wing is the thing!” As we all know chicken wings, when done right are the things that fond food memories are made of! This top secret recipe clones Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville Jamaica Mistaica Wings, reported to be some of the island-themed restaurants best! The wings are prepared the traditional way but what makes them special is the habanero honey sauce! Just saying that makes my mouth water!!! Check out Todd Wilbur’s Top Secret Recipe and see for yourself! Of course I can’t put the recipe on my blog but I put the link to the recipe here for your convenience! Click the link below and you’ll be on your way to eating “chicken wings in paradise” in no time at all! Sorry – I couldn’t resist that one!

Chi Chi’s Mexican Fried Ice Cream:

Chi-Chi's Mexican "Fried" Ice Cream copycat recipe by Todd Wilbur

Menu Description: “Our specialty! French Vanilla ice cream with a crunchy, crispy cinnamon coating. Served with your choice of honey, chocolate or strawberry topping.”

Ok, I have to admit that ice cream is one of my favorite things to eat EVER! I love the stuff! When I heard about this dessert I decided it was something to put on my “must try” list for sure! The cool thing about this dessert is, it’s really not fried at all! I mean I have to admit that ice cream is a guilty pleasure all on it’s own so frying it would only add to the need for me to eat it in a trench coat with a hat and dark glasses. You know, to hide my identity while indulging my ice cream eating addiction! Well, that’s not necessary my friends! This ice cream dessert is actually rolled in corn-flake crumbs that have been flavored with sugar and cinnamon. So it only looks like it’s been fried! Chi-Chi’s says this is their most requested dessert menu item. I say “SCORE” cause since it’s rolled in cereal, it qualifies as a breakfast item! Wow, ice cream for breakfast!Now where did I put that trench coat?!

Subway Bourbon Street Glaze:

Subway Bourbon Street Glaze copycat recipe by Todd Wilbur

I’m not a fast foodie and I rarely eat the stuff, but the Bourbon Street Glaze from Subway’s new Bourbon Street Chicken Sandwich sounds right up my alley! I actually fall in love with sauces if they’re really good! I use to go to Friday’s just to order the Jack Daniel’s glazed shrimp & ribs! I love that stuff! This glaze like that one sounds like a real winner! Maybe the secret really is in the “sauce”!

All You Need Is Love… And A Little Chocolate!

August 3, 2017 by Char

All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt! Thank you Mr. Schultz! Oh, and by the way, I like “Peanuts” with my chocolate too! 🙂

I decided that since I love motivational quotes and since I was going to put my time and effort into developing my recipe blog, why not try to find some really appropriate food quotes! I wasn’t even sure that I would find anything when I did a search but I’m happy to say, I found plenty! This one is my first one! This quote expresses my sentiments extremely well! Or for a more colorful way to put it, this quote has me written all over it!!! Love my chocolate!

Google Home – A Cook’s Best Friend

July 28, 2017 by Char

The link below for the Google Home is an affiliate link. That means if you click and buy I will make a small commission for referring you but it won’t cost you a penny more! I only refer you to products I love and I think you know how I feel about the Google Home – LOVE!!!

When you’re in the kitchen cooking do you like to have some great music playing?  What I like to call, “music to jam or make jam by”?  🙂 For me cooking and cleaning while listening to music go hand in hand! I love to put on my favorite Gospel and old school R & B music while I’m working and if you do too I’ve got some great news for you!

One of the biggest problems with kitchen work and music is having to use your hands to change the song, advance the playlist, change artists, turn it down when the phone rings and back up when you’re finished with the call! It always seems you need to touch your music source when you have something all over your hands – never when they’re clean and dry! Well, Google Home solves those problems and so many more!

Google Home is a voice activated speaker for your home that operates on “smart” technology! No hands required to play a song, change a song or skip a song!

All you have to do is say, “Hey Google” and then tell it what you want to hear! Like “Hey Google play I Want You Back by The Jackson Five” or “Hey Google, play Distant Lovers by Marvin Gaye”. Hey Google, play “I’II Call Your Name by Switch”! You’ll hear “Ok, playing I’ll Call Your Name by Switch on YouTube- etc. Hands free music selection! YES!!!

Check out Google Home: Google Home – My #1 Kitchen Tool (affiliate link*)

Google Home is especially when you’re cooking, baking and doing your thing in the kitchen because you’ve always got something in or on your hands! What a pleasure to be able to play my music with a shout out and without having to touch anything!

I can even tell Google Home to turn the volume up or down, turn the music off, pause or resume!!! As a cook I think Google Home is the best thing since sliced bread!

This little dynamo is a game changer! I’m a big fan of old school R & B and I got to listen to whatever song came to my mind! It was as simple as saying, “Hey Google, play…” And remember, this works with any type of music that you want to hear, any song, any genre, any artist!

If it’s on the internet, Google Home finds it immediately and plays it for you! It plays music from various sources like Spotify, Google Play Music, Pandora, YouTube, iHeart Radio and more!

Google Home even corrected my request a couple of times and played the right song even though I requested it wrong!  Once or twice I said the wrong name of the song or paired the song with the wrong artist. Google Home corrected my request and played the song I wanted to hear! So Cool!

Check out Google Home: Google Home – My #1 Kitchen Tool (Affiliate link*)

Google Home comes in a variety of one of 3 base colors, with an option to buy one of 6 additional colors in two finishes – fabric or metal, which you choose to match or coordinate with your home or room interior design.

With Google Home you can ask it questions about the weather, traffic, sports scores, have it interact with your home system and turn on and off your TV and other appliances and lighting. It can play your exercise video or turn down the thermostat. Also, coming soon – hands free calling! Can’t wait!

Before I forget, I got a chance to share time with family visiting from out of town this past weekend. My first cousin Dee and her husband Melvin and my cousins Ronni and Darlene came for a four day weekend and it was so much fun! I cooked up a ton of food and we ate, sang, talked and had a great time together! I took Google Home with me to the hotel and set it up in Dee’s & Melvin’s room. Google Home was right in the middle of it all, actually helping to make the magic happen!

After the weekend was over, I took GH back home on the last night. I plugged it in and as a test to see if it would turn itself off, I said “Hey Google, Goodnight”! Well – it didn’t turn itself off, but it did say, “Goodnight, sleep tight, don’t let the bedbugs bite, but if they do, I’ll help you find an exterminator”!

What!!!??? Now that’s what I call smart technology! Priceless!
