Revamping my Branding, out with the old dated Logo- thanks P**n for getting me started many years ago! Much love...but it's time I update my Website + Logo...My newest small biz idea is where I'll be hosting a Youtube Channel and creating my own Spice Blends and teaching people HOW to season food...It's got a black background for sleekness, orange font representing how Spices light up our lives. For Comida I chose a bright green font to represent fresh food, fresh ideas. I figure the branding should be cohesive, check out my other page and compare my 2 new Business card ideas. Thoughts? Should I print? Like and share so I know you're with me on this! Thanks for all the support over the years, it truly helps keep me inspired to create more.

Found the 1st Business Card I ever made today when I was going through old paperwork! Wow what a journey it’s been. I created it myself and you can see that I’ve always gone against the grain. Nobody in those days would ever dare to make a business card out of recycled paper but at that young age I knew it was important to take care of the Planet first, image should come second. Plus why not have the image that you care. I broke boundaries then, had friends who said no to many of my ideas. Ideas that right now btw are making others THOUSANDS of dollars in Revenue a month. Also in those days you were told you’ll need about $300000 to start a business! 🤣🤣 I did it anyway! With $60 to register my name and took it day by day. Through word of mouth I sold $10,000 in my first 6 months! Moral of the story… don’t take advice unless it’s from a positive person, unless it’s from someone doing better than you IN YOUR FIELD AND never from someone who is close-minded or doesn’t have that Entrepreneurial spirit! They just don’t think like you. There’s so much help now and Apps to make small biz easier…Now do you and go for it!

One of my most DELICIOUS trips ever was to beautiful + sunny Jamaica! The island is magnificent with its mountains, gorgeous beaches and cave swimming. I booked two weeks in Negril and must say- whyyyyy did I wait so long to visit this island?? It’s rich in culture, music and flavour. If you’re like me- you love those long drives across an island overlooking the ocean. Well Jamaica happens to be one of the biggest in the Caribbean so forget those 1hr drives and you’ve done the island- it’s massive.
We stayed in Negril and were not disappointed, the staff were super friendly the grounds were beautiful with 3 pools! The food at the hotel was always delish, I tried my first ACKEE + salt fish it was so tasty. The beef patties at the beach bar had just the right amount of flaky and spice- I was in culinary heaven.
We also made sure not to miss in front of the Grand Pineapple hotel- I’d been following him on insta and needed to try his traditional jerk first hand. Wow! The flavour was on point and we even took time to play a quick game of Dominos because when in Jamdown...😉
More on my past memories coming up! Covid may have killed our travel plans for now- but we can’t stop dreaming🌴🌴🌴

Here’s my lighter take on delicious Jamaican-style Stewed Peas and rice. I was introduced to this budget-friendly side dish as a teen and it’s a fave of mine to this day along with Oxtail , Curried Chicken and Brown Chicken ❤️It’s got all the components of a comfort meal- packed with flavour, filling and easy to make.
I’ve been eating less red meat so I subbed organic ground Turkey. I was a little skeptical but pleasantly surprised! It’s delicious and has the rich flavour I expect.
How are you lightening up your fave meals?

Brunch done right! Eating brunch doesn’t mean you have to break social distancing rules or stray away from healthy eating. With a little extra attention to detail and quality ingredients you can still enjoy time with friends or family.
This past weekend I had 2 friends over and I found it simple to keep them safe by setting up a little plating and glassware ”kit” for each guest ahead of time. This way upon their arrival they were sure that their plating was untouched by others and they didn’t have to share common utensils. I used some colourful plating and napkins to help keep things festive- it’s been a tough year for everyone.
I used organic ground Turkey to hand-roll my own sausages and added a dash of nutmeg to the scrambled eggs, always a fave. How do you plan to safely enjoy time with loved ones while adhering to the tighter social distancing and safety practices? .
Please remember that hand washing is critical to stop the spread of bacteria and viruses.

Are You a lover? Check out my awesome takeout lunch! Just a l’il squeeze of grilled lemon, that’s right folks pay attention to detail, wow what a boost! The batter was crisp and light, not too greasy and the chips were so good, definitely hand-cut in house. I have to say at first I thought the coleslaw looked a little lacklustre... not really saucy or too colourful. Turns out the Chef tricked me and this slaw packed a hidden punch. I’ve never had that before, coleslaw with a kick. It’s a winner for me, some of the most delicious fish and chips I’ve ever had! Thanks It heated up perfectly crisp. I’ll be back 🙌🏽🌴

On my last trip to Grand Cayman in the beautiful Caribbean I picked up a bottle of Mango Coconut pepper sauce. It had an eye catching bright orange-yellow colour and I love coconut so I had to try it! Wow it’s amazing- it would seem coconut twice would be redundant but it works! The sauce has a sweet~ tangy flavour and the just a touch of smokey spice. It would taste amazing as a chicken marinade, stir fry sauce or even sushi dip! Check it out! It’s by Tropical Pepper Co and actually made in Costa Rica! 🌴🌴 share your fave Hot Sauce/ Pepper Sauce in the comments or DM me if there’s a spicy recipe you’d like me to feature! I’ll share a pic in my IG STORY today.

Summer is here and since we missed half of it I say get outside, get to the Market and support local. Buying produce from your own region will be fresher and helps to keep those in your community working which in turn helps to create jobs. There’s nothing like the flavour burst you get when you bite into a ripe Ontario tomato. A little drizzle of fruity olive oil, chopped fresh basil and some sea salt and you’ve got a bread topping, chicken marinade or even a salad topper. How do you use your ? Comment below

Want a tip for blanching green vegetables? Put the harder stalk side in leaving the lighter greenery above water. Once the stalks are at the desired doneness simply fold the greens over just to soften them and plunge into cold water to refresh and keep that fresh green colour. Most vegetables have parts that take longer to cook than other- this method works perfectly for Broccoli! Those pretty florets only need a minute or so as opposed to the stalks. Let me know if you try it out . #veggietips #kitchenhacks #gailan #broccoli #crispgreens #superfood #yummyfood #healtylife #cheflife #foodietips #cookstagram

If you love deep, rich flavour there’s nothing like Indian inspired Butter Chicken 🧡👩🏽‍🍳 Rich, velvety sauce that drapes each succulent piece of chicken, a fluffy side of fragrant Basmati rice is all you need but I enjoy a dollop of yogurt and some coriander chutney. Steamed greens fits the bill here and if you really want to treat yourself a hot side of grilled naan or garlic kulcha. Have you tried making Butter chicken before?

Craving something healthy, simple and delicious? This Salad idea works every time. I gather simple ingredients that I have on hand like fresh tomatoes, onions, garlic and whatever herbs you enjoy in a salad. Bell peppers work well here too because they give such a nice taste and aroma to the dressing. All you do is wash and cut your Salad veggies to size, add to a small bowl and drizzle with your preferred Salad oil- I mixed Avocado and Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1:1, crush your herbs into the bowl, a little kosher salt and cracked pepper. Then add a nice vinegar like Organic ACV or a quality Red wine vinegar- whatever you choose. Toss together and let sit to marinate for about 2hrs. This creates a wonderful dressing as the tomatoes release their water and all the flavours come together. At service time you simply pour this whole mixture across your greens! Let me know if you try it. NOTE: I wouldn’t add cucumbers to the marinade too early unless you’re ok with soft cukes.

Healthy and delicious Cod is a great choice when you want a light but awesome dinner. It really can take on any seasoning or spice blend and is simple to cook. It’s flaky, light and delicious- here it’s sautéed in a pan or you can oven roast- but my oven is full meal-prepping so I’ll pan roast. Don’t get too stuck on recipes unless you’re Baking which is more of a science. Once I flip the Fish I’ll add the oven- roasted tomatoes, onions, garlic and basil with a touch of orange zest. So fresh!! All a part of the lovely Menu available @mysweetbeet where I Freelanced as a Private Chef during the lockdown 2020 and I continue to happily work with them on top of my own projects.

With all the lineups and #socialdistancing most of us are trying to make our shops last while stretching ingredients and avoiding tons of dishes. Pasta and noodles are the perfect way to do just that! . . I tend to get bored of eating the same food more than twice so when I boil a starch, I make dbl the amount I need and save half for a completely different recipe. Like this weeks stir fry, leftover rice noodles became gluten-free pasta with tomato sauce from the freezer. Save time, money and avoid waste! . . The sauce was very basic- crushed San Marzano tomatoes, fruity olive oil, crushed garlic and basil leaves. And again luckily- I had made a double batch! . . Simply reheat your sauce and serve it vegetarian or add meat- I had chicken breast, then add leftover pasta or noodles to boiling water just for two minutes to avoid mush, strain and layer in a bowl- I add cheese twice! ❤️🤪 sprinkle chilies on top if you’re up to it. Yum yum!! . . . #pasta #noodles #chef #privatechef #personalchef #yum #covidcooking #comidaworldfoodsandcatering #catering #travelingchef #lifestyle #healthyfood #instafood #foodie #foodporn #eat #glutenfree #MadeWithRipl via @Ripl

Chia seed pudding is a healthy + delish breakfast. Fibre, vitamins, fruit and you can use a healthy yogurt or milk/ alternative as the base. Add raw oats, grind some flax seeds and even bananas are delish as long as you cover them in the liquid so they don’t brown. This one has mango and slightly cooked wild blueberries ( my allergy issues ugh) and I never use sweetened products. My sugar comes in the form of straight up desserts!! But that’s for another post ❤️❤️ what’s in your Chia Pudding? . . . #chia#chiapudding #breakfast #healthylifestyle #healthyfood #foodie #eat #coviddiet #staystrong #fruits #oatmilk #comidaworldfoodsandcatering #cheflife

Kunafe for breakfast!! My dreams have come true! One of my faves- it’s a traditional Middle Eastern dessert baked in phyllo pastry drizzled with rose water syrup and pistachio nuts (Kunafa Ashta) or layered with cheese and semolina which is the one you see here. I love them both for different reasons, if you haven’t tried them and you love sweet desserts what are you waiting for? ( of course regionally the ingredients may change but I have yet to meet one that isn’t superb) Try yours with a Turkish coffee or mint tea. yum yum . . . #dessert #breakfast #middleeasternfood #middleeasterndessert #travel #eat #alwayslearning #yummy #food #foodie #bakery #bakedgoods #butter #rosewater #foodblogger #foodporn #instagood #instafood #instadesserts #delicious #pastry @shookkitchen
