I’m a cake lover, especially for black/rum cake. It’s getting close to Christmas and the thought of me eating this cake came to mind. I love when this is made because it brings back memories of what my Christmas was like growing up.

Guilty Pleasures: Deep Fried Oreo’s

They taste so good, and are easy to make! All you have to do is dip the Oreo's in pancake batter and fry it in hot oil.

I would eat them all the time, but they’re so unhealthy :(

McDonald’s Review

For over a year, I haven’t eaten any food from McDonald’s. I only buy their drinks. The meat is so processed, and it’s chewy and fake. There is no flavour in their beef. If you compare a McDonald’s burger to a Harvey’s one, you will immediately taste the difference in the quality.

Jamaican Curry Goat with Rice and peas. This is my favourite dish that my mother would make on Sunday for our dinner. The steaming goat meat would melt in your mouth once it’s freshly made and it’s even better when the gravy mixes with the rice.

Jamaican Cornmeal Porridge Recipe 

Ingredients 

1  cup Yellow Cornmeal (coarse or fine) 4  cups Water ¼  cup Milk (or Half and Half) ½  cup Sweetened Condensed Milk 2  tbsp. Sugar ¼  tsp. Nutmeg (ground) ¼  tsp. Cinnamon (ground) 2  drops Vanilla Flavoring 

Method

1. Add cornmeal to a bowl, and then pour enough water into the bowl to cover the cornmeal. 2. Use a fork to mix the cornmeal in the bowl to let the water and cornmeal mix loose and watery. 3. Bring the 4 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan and turn the heat to medium. 4. Slowly pour the water and cornmeal into the saucepan while stirring with a fork. You will have to stir the mix continuously for about 3 minutes. 5. Make figure eight patterns if you like as this will stop the cornmeal from forming lumps. Note: Be careful from this point on because the porridge will splash and burn your hand if the heat is too high. 6. Turn the flame down even more if the splashes from the pot become large. 7. Cover the pot and let simmer for about twenty minutes and occasionally stir the mixture in the pot. 8. Turn off the flame but do not remove the pot from the stove. 9. Now add all the remaining ingredients, except the nutmeg. 10. Stir to sweeten this Jamaican porridge and then taste it. 11. Add more ingredients of your choice to get the desired taste. 12. Serve in small bowls and sprinkle with the ground nutmeg. Note: If you are not able to digest milk (lactose intolerant) you could substitute soy milk for regular milk in this Jamaican Cornmeal Porridge. If you would like to go strictly "Ital" with this porridge, you know, the real Rasta man style, then you can remove the sugar, ground cinnamon, and all milk products. Replace the milk and half & half with coconut milk, the sugar with honey, and the ground cinnamon with cinnamon leaves. These are suggested substitutes! Note though that this "Ital" Cornmeal Porridge will taste a little bit different from the real flavoured, regular type. So make your adjustments carefully. Whatever your choice for this Jamaican cornmeal porridge recipe though, ENJOY!!
