Cookbooks From Amazon.com
 

The HEALTHY RECIPE IDEAS given here are suitable for party menus and family meals. Some of them are family favourites, handed down by mothers, aunts and grandmothers. Some are new, original, tested creations, others are cookbook recipes which I changed to include more nutritious ingredients. Use them as is or change them.  Put your own signature on them and express yourself. 
These are just ideas to give you a starting point.  I hope you like them as much as my family does.  

You'll notice that the flavours and ingredients have a definite Caribbean/Jamaican "vibe".  If you like Island food... try them.  Use your own recipe ideas along with the Caribbean ingredients to create menus for your home based party business and for family meals.  Your Caribbean clients will be very pleased with your products and services. 

The free online recipes and menu ideas on this site also include money-saving healthy recipe ideas for your baby's meals as well as healthy party recipe ideas for menus for kids' parties.  Use these menu ideas or your own culinary creations when you cater backyard kid's birthdays and other informal events as part of your home business.

This is a work in progress. We're constantly updating and adding new recipes, so be sure to BookmarkBookmark and Share and return often. We'll be very happy to see you.

Make sure you look into the Home Business pages for exciting ideas for working at home in Catering or as a Personal Chef.  If you're already a work at home Mom or Dad, these are for you!  Enjoy!

Kitchen Tip
Just F.Y.I. For all our healthy recipes we use sea salt, extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil because of the health benefits provided by these ingredients. Sugar in desserts for family meals and children is usually natural organic evaporated sugar cane juice.  Occasionally we do use super fine granulated sugar but we recommend that you use healthful fresh and minimally processed ingredients whenever you can.
