Gigi's Tostones, an insanely delicious Father's Day weekend breakfast food event. They were incredible!! We had her tostones with saltfish and johnny cakes (fried dumplings), along with scrambled eggs and turkey bacon. The combination of flavors thrilled our taste-buds. Tostones are slices of unripe green plantains smashed and twice-fried to a golden crisp. The yummy goodness will remind you of a true Caribbean breakfast. Here are photos from the kitchen…

​I know you all agree that a salad with jerk wings on it is a great idea, lol.

Select here to see how I made my jerk wings. Enjoy...

​Like any island man, I have enjoyed making and eating codfish fritters. I like to hear them crackling in the frying pan, making sure they're crispy with a golden crust. Every time I make them the recipe evolves. Today I added a scotch bonnet pepper to the blended ingredients of green peppers, garlic cloves, cilantro, thyme and onions. The spicy sweet sriracha sauce was made with mayonnaise, sriracha, honey and crushed red peppers. Codfish fritters can be filling but they're usually not the main dish, more of an appetizer. Tasty and delicious is the only way to describe them. If you're interested in my recipe click here.

Enjoy and be safe ...
