sweet_potato_pudding

This sweet potato pudding recipe is an old time recipe my great aunt use to make every the summer time. I remember this like it was yesterday – I use to run to my aunt house as soon as school was closed for the summer knowing that she a batch of sweet potato pudding just for me. Luckily, she was able to past on the recipe before passing away to my mom. Every so often my mom cooks up a batch of this delicious sweet potato pudding. Thanks aunt val – Rip!

soup-with-dumplings

I personally believe that no soup or stew is complete without dumplings, and I think nearly everyone on the island will agree with me. Such a simple recipe, but so essential in a Red Bean Soup with pig-snout and with chopped pieces of the ham bone (leftovers from Christmas dinner.)…hmm.hmm..don’t get me started! Thanks you grandma, you’re the best.
