Caribbean Meal Prep Made Easy: Jerk Chicken Bowls


Hi Reader,

I'm so excited to share my Jerk Chicken Bowls, a dish inspired by the authentic Jamaican flavors I grew up with. It's a perfect mix of spiced jerk chicken, rice and peas, creamy coleslaw, and sweet fried plantains—comfort food at its finest.

Recommended Ingredient: Walkerswood Jerk Seasoning. You have likely seen me go on and on about this jerk seasoning, but it is the best store-bought jerk marinade I've ever had. If you prefer homemade jerk marinade, I have that one too.

Tanya holding BBQ shrimp

Hi Reader, We spent spring break in New Orleans and had the best time. A gator tour, more food than I can list, and a whole lot of walking it off after. The BBQ shrimp stuck with me. It's not actually barbecued. It's jumbo shrimp simmered in a buttery, garlicky, Worcestershire-spiked sauce, and you eat it with crusty bread for soaking up every last bit of that sauce. Nothing sweet, nothing sticky, just bold Louisiana flavor in one skillet. 🍴 Get the recipe: New Orleans BBQ Shrimp. If this one...

sausage lentil soup in bowl

Hi Reader, The weather in North Carolina has been all over the place lately. One day it's in the 70s, and the next it's cold, rainy, and windy. On the cold, rainy days, I want soup. Really good soup.
