Tropical Papaya Chia Pudding

During the summertime, I want to eat all the tropical fruits - mango, dragon fruit, coconut, guava, pineapple, you name it!

But one of my favorite tropical fruits that I can’t seem to get enough of these days are papayas! Now, I have noticed that people don’t typically put papaya in their grocery cart. They either have no clue what to do with them or they don’t want to buy a large semi-expensive fruit and worry if they will like the taste or not. Well, I am here to give you the low down on this sweet tropical “nectar of the gods” fruit while providing my favorite go-to breakfast recipe!

Needless to say, curry ran through my veins in those four years of living in that area!

Watermelon Ice Cubes

With that said, I thought it would be fun to post about the many ways you can use leftover watermelon. Do you find yourself cutting a large watermelon and basically having an entire half watermelon leftover? What do I do with the rest of it?

Shrimp and Grits

It’s so easy to forget where we come from. To get lost in our own little world. But sometimes we need to go backward before we can move forward.

I watched an episode of Chef’s Table, Mashama Bailey - Owner of The Grey in Savannah, Georgia, and I came back to my senses. I remembered where I came from. My Roots. I remembered the sound of fried chicken crackling in a cast-iron skillet. The egregious smell of chitlins cooking in a large black pot outside on a hot summer day. The sweet taste of muscadines after picking them straight off the vine.
