Welcome to my Kitchen

This is one of my favorite places to be creative and a little messy…To work alone in peace, or with kids by my side (in not-so-much peace.)  I love to experiment with flavors and textures, and especially love to create things using the tropical fruits that we grow.  I cook a little of everything, including some gluten free recipes inspired by my Father who was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease.  I strive to use mostly organic, natural and healthy ingredients, but I’m all about moderation.  I hope you find some new favorites here!
