New slaw, old slaw ... Coleslaw!


What's cooking luvs?

So the 3 most common salads on the typical Bajan buffet are, tossed salad, potato salad and ... you guessed it; coleslaw. Although these are common favorites because they are delicious, it doesn't mean that we can't spruce them up with a little love and try something different.

This recipe adds a little zip and a pop of colour to the traditional coleslaw, enjoy!



Red Cabbage Coleslaw with Toasted Almonds and Poppy Seeds

Ingredients

Serves 2-4 persons
Slaw-
1 cup shredded red cabbage
 1/2 cup grated carrot
 1/4 cup roasted almonds
 1 tbsp minced onion

Dressing
2ozs Mayonnaise
1tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tbsp honey
1 pinch cinnamon
1tsp poppy seeds
Salt & Pepper to taste

Method: 

Mix all the slaw ingredients together in a large bowl (reserving a few almonds for garnish). 
In a smaller bowl, mix the dressing ingredients together until combined. 
Pour dressing over the slaw and toss lightly. 
Garnish with remaining toasted almonds and refrigerate until chilled. 
Serve and enjoy the yumminess!

Wedding Cake Round up



Hey there!

Just wanted to share some of our recent wedding cakes, just in case you missed them on our facebook page and a few tips.

3 tips on choosing your cake:


1- Make it personal. It is your day after all, be sure to include small details that are special to you.
2- Choose a flavor you love, no one said you have to be traditional.
3- Think of your guest count. A small cake can look insignificant in a ballroom of 200 and a small wedding doesn't need to have a huge tower.

We are back


Hi guys,
 You all must be super tired of me falling off of the blog wagon and jumping back on again.
We have been missing for more than a year now and I really have no idea how I could make it up to you. The truth is life is busy and its hard to juggle everything and running a food service business is a marathon with medals along the way. This blog is a little breathing space for us to share our foodventures with you. I hope you will forgive us for our hiatus.

So much has happened. We moved! We are now in the country. We have more space, a backyard and our neighbor has a farm. I am definitely going to do a video of our yard and let you peek at the animals and see our HUGE mango tree. We were in the newspaper, we did an expo and sooo many events!
Here are some photos of events and things that have happened while we were gone.
