Oh Canada!!
I took a weekend trip to beautiful Toronto Canada to see my family, and what else can I say... that place is BEAUTIFUL! I've never been there before but have always heard how cold it was, so I was bracing myself for the cold, but the weather was actually very nice. The drive there took me 8hrs, which wasn't so bad. Once we arrived in Canada it was just fresh of breathe air. It's just a beautiful place, the landscapes, the houses, the streets are clean and the people are soo nice. I was just in awe. If the weather oversall was warmer, I would move there in a heartbeat...LOL!!
Here are a few pics from my trip:

The Heat is On!!!
Today was my first session doing Bikram Hot Yoga, and what can I say, but AMAZING!! It was the best yoga experience I've had. Just AMAZING!!! My hubby and I went together. I've been wanting to do this for a while, but always kept pushing it off. I would say, yea, I'm going next, but always found an excuse. Even today, I was getting ready to back out and not go. I thought to myself, really, enough is enough, I need to go, and that is what I did. So I finally got into the studio, and let me tell you, it was a very small room with about 15 people inside, the room was HOT!!! I started to look at the member of the class, and they were sweating just sitting there. After speaking with the Yoga Instructor, I prep myself to get started. We started with several warm-up stretches, breathing exercises and poses, then we got fully into the 1 hr workout. I've NEVER sweat sooo much in my life. After the one hour session. I was DRENCHED!! The feeling after the session, is just unexplainable. I felt refresh, re-rejuvenated, energize, light, and free. I looked in the mirror and I my face seemed clearer and glowing. It was just an amazing feeling. At first it can be very intimidating, but once you get into the whole motion of the poses, you'll do fine. I'm going back... I'm in LOVE. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you give this a try.

Can you say YUMMY!!!
So on last night's menu, I made Jamaican Stew Chicken w/ Rice & Pea and Sweet Plantains. Now, can you say yummy. I made this meal for my family and its very simple and easy to make for yourself or your family. Since cooking is one of my passion, I'll be cooking up simple meal, and post them so that you can make them as well.
Here's the recipe:
Give it try!
Rice & Peas:
-1 Can of Red Kidney Beans
-2 cups of Brown or White Rice (I used Brown Rice)
-2 1/2 cups of Water
-1 Tbsp of Butter
-1/4 cup of brown sugar (for taste)
Bring water to boil on Medium heat, add Kidney Beans. Add butter to water, and let boil for 5 minutes. Add rice to boiling water and sugar. Cover pot and lower stove to low heat, let simmer for 20mins or until rice is fully cook.
Stew Chicken
-Chicken Strips or Chicken breast cut in cubes
-4 Medium Size Carrots (cut thin slice)
-1 medium size green bell pepper
- 2 tbsp of black pepper
- 2 tbsp of garlic and or onion powder
-1 tbsp of Browning
-1 1/2 tbsp of Olive Oil
-1 cup of water
-2 Tbsp of flour
Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl, add oil to pan (on medium heat). Put all ingredients into the heated pan , and turn heat to low. Continuously mix together until meat is cook. Add 1 cup of water then cover and let simmer for 20-25. Check to make sure meat is fully cook and tender. If it needs to stay covered for another 5-10 min, it's ok!
You want to make sure that your meat is tender and cooked. Once meat is cooked, mix flour and water in a small bowl, while the meat is still on the stove and boiling, add flour/water mixture and stir. Make sure your stove is on low heat while you pour mixture and stir. (this is your gravy) Once mixture is in, let it simmer for 2 mins, then remove from heat.
Serve Rice & Stew Chicken Hot....
Can be served with a salad or fried sweet plantains.
Enjoy!!
*Next week, Curry Chicken*
