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.

Hi Reader, Funny how a small kitchen curveball can lead to a delicious discovery. I had my heart set on making pan-seared crab cakes the other day—one of my go-to seafood treats. I asked my husband to pick up lump crab meat, but instead, he came home with canned claw meat. 😱 Not exactly what I had in mind... So I pivoted. I made up a batch of crab fried rice using the canned claw meat, and let me tell you—it was so good. The claw meat worked perfectly in the rice, and at significantly less...
Hi Reader, I've been having a lot of fun sharing new takes on my favorite recipes. I want to share one that I love — Jamaican Coleslaw. 🥰 Coleslaw has always been one of those dishes I have to have at gatherings or cookouts, but this version right here? It’s on another level. It’s fresh, tangy, and sweet, and it goes with just about anything. This Coleslaw works for jerk chicken, grilled fish, or even a simple sandwich.
