Fun tropical fruit smoothies that boost your daily vitamin intake and improve your digestion
This recipe was designed through trial and error but is really easy to make, refreshing and quite delicious.
Ingredients
1. Fresh FRUIT (preferably chilled or frozen chunks):
Pineapple, Pawpaw/Papaya, Banana (and Mango, if you have access to this).
2. Freshly-squeezed or store bought FRUIT JUICE (preferably unsweetened Pineapple). Water may be used as a substitute if sweetness/sugar content is an issue.
3. One packet of orange/tangerine/raspberry/other EMERGEN-C crystals, or any other brand of Vitamin C crystals that you prefer.
Directions
b. If you have a blender with a "SMOOTHIE" selection, then press it and let the 'smoothing' begin:). If not, then begin on the "CHOP" selection, before slowly moving to the "PUREE" selection (add more liquid if needed).
c. If you prefer a 'frosty' smoothie, then don't add too much liquid. If you prefer a 'thick but non-frosty one, then keep going until most of the icy-ness melts out

ENJOY!!!

Trini' Saltfish Buljol (stewed salted cod fish)
This is one of the historically popular foods of my county, and it is 'mimicked' throughout the Southern Caribbean. It is very tasty, easy to make and usually eaten with ground provisions, fried bakes/stove-top roasted bakes/oven-baked coconut bakes, 'sada' roti or even rice. "Bakes" are special breads (African heritage), and "Sada" (East indian heritage) is similar to pita bread.
NB. Several recipes like this can be found online.

1/3 cup onion (freshly chopped)

1/3 cup pimento/chilli peppers (freshly chopped)

3-4 tbsp Olive oil
Parsley (to garnish)
A few slices of Avocado (to complement)
Directions
2. In a medium sized pot/pan, heat Olive oil on a low temperature before adding in all of the ingredients except the fish. Let them sauté (covered) at a medium temperature until almost fully cooked.
3. Add in the shredded fish and stir everything together. Add a little water, if more moisture is needed.
4. Let the contents simmer (covered) at the same temperature, for about 3 minutes.

Italian Garlic rolls...
Marcella's Italian restaurant in the 1970's was a favorite place to eat.
Located near North Miami High School, it was the place to congregate after football games.
Her pizza was great but people raved about the garlic rolls.
Some places call them garlic knots because they are strips twisted into the shape as opposed to rolls that are just one lump of dough. The knot shape allows the spices to get into the roll and not slide off it.
Ingredients
The recipe is for a dozen medium rolls.
4-8 large cloves of fresh garlic. I prefer grating them but minced works well.
(avoid the store bought garlic in jars as it's got chemicals that completely change the flavor)
3 tablespoons of dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon of dried Thyme
A pinch or two of salt.
4 ounces of olive oil
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375.
Note: I get better results with small batches in a toaster oven.
Lay out the dough at room temperature and cut into strips 1/2" wide by 4" long.
If you use a rolling pin, try for 1/2" thick before cutting the strips.
Mandatory, use need white flour to dust the cookie sheet or baking tray, your hands and the strips of dough.
If you don't, expect a sticky mess that is totally unmanageable.
The Pillsbury dough works easily (probably from all the chemicals in it) and the pizza dough requires more effort. I'll stretch and pull the dough until it's ready to tie into a knot.
Bake for 10-12 minutes and pull out just as the tops start to brown. You want them soft and not crunchy.
While hot, dump them into the bowl, put the lid on and shake.
They are ready to eat!

No-Prep Quinoa Shrimp with Peas
If you need a quick meal for a weekday night, this Quinoa Shrimp with peas cooks up in about 15 minutes, and it's gluten-free and nutritious. Quinoa is a very filling, ancient grain from South America and is a complete protein, which means it contains all nine of the essential amino acids for good health. If you want, you can leave out the shrimp, and add a second cooked vegetable in its place. The heat from the quinoa will cook the peas almost immediately - no fuss or muss!
Ingredients
1 cup water
8 ounces cooked frozen shrimp
1 cup frozen peas
1 tablespoon coconut oil
Low-sodium soy sauce, to taste
Directions
While quinoa is cooking, melt coconut oil in skillet and add shrimp. Cook, stirring often, about 5 minutes until shrimp is defrosted and pink. Add shrimp and soy sauce to quinoa mixture and stir. Serve immediately. Refrigerate or freeze unused portion.
