Whiskey BBQ Sauce with Uncle Nearest Whiskey
I have to be honest with you and admit that the only way you’ll see me drinking whiskey is in a sour. Most often, I’m eating my whiskeys and bourbons. I just can’t do brown liquors, y’all. Too many run-ins in my young adulthood put me off of them altogether. But this Uncle Nearest Whiskey BBQ Sauce…
Gumbo with Andouille Sausage, Chicken, and Seafood
This flavorful stovetop meal is packed with juicy proteins- sausage, chicken, and two types of seafood- swimming in a thick broth that I can drink on its own.

Let’s pause for a second and enjoy this image. I’ve pumped these wings so full of island flavor. Using a Jamaican curry spice rub and…
Chicken and Waffles with Honey-Cinnamon Butter
Y’all can have Roscoe’s or Hattie B’s chicken and waffles. Me and mine know the real deal is served in my kitchen. I took a little bit of everything from the chicken and waffles houses I’ve come to know and love and combined them in one amazing recipe. Now I share it with you, because…
Chicken Fried Chicken with Pan Gravy
In the last post, I shared one of my favorite Puerto Rican dinner recipes. This week, I want to share one of my favorite dishes from the mainland. Tender, juicy chicken breast marinated in a spiced buttermilk bath before being dredged in a seasoned flour, then pan fried. A luscious pan gravy is then ladled…
