2016 Highlights

As we wrap up 2016 and we look ahead into 2017 and what it brings us..let's take a last look into 2016

6 months ago I started this Blog with minimum knowledge on blogging, with no smartphone, no laptop, no camera and zero resources.....Somedays I would book a food shoot but didn't have ingredients or would have ingredients but my photographer won't be available on that day.

I faced many challenges especially with the Fashion side of the Blog to a point that most associate my Blog with Food only. I guess  I gravitated  more on what I could control, seeing that I'm a Chef.

Next year I promise you will see a Balance of Food, Fashion and Lifestyle

Below are just a few pictures of some of our Blog Posts from the past 6 months. Next years I will also have Scheduled weekly post.

Bye for now...Enjoy your New Year's Eve and be safe. May 2017 rain love and blessing for you all my family

Fish Curry Mini Dumplings served in Sea Shells and Carrot Salad

So it's no secret that I'm a beach baby. The beach is my little escape heaven.
Today like most days, I was missing the beach but this hectic life wouldn't allow me this desire :(

So since I couldn't go to the beach today, I settled on making this spicy mini dumplings in Fish curry served in Sea shells with Carrot Salad......Yes Fish curry and Sea Shell will have to do hey. This is as close as I can be to the beach today hahahahahaha

Usually we make dumplings into medium sizes and we make bigger ones at those family events. You know those family traditional events, when you cook dumplings with goats meat or any other animal that was slaughtered for that event....yep those dumplings 😃😃😃

Today we are taking dumpling to the next level or in this case to the mini level hahaha
