TGIF was an understatement. Thank you Rainforest Caribbean and the Award-Winning Chef Volae Williams and his team at ROK Hotel Kingston by the ROKStone Grill for a spectacular Seafood Buffet Experience spanning about 7 stations.
Suga Highlights? Check them out here!

– My targeted, ‘meaty’ Jerked Octopus with adequate heat from scotch bonnet citrus herbed butter
– Hubby’s fave, Ceviche by the Raw Bar was on point
– Enjoyable selection of traditional and Jamaican rolls by the Sushi and Nigiri station
– The Mixed Seafood Pasta! I’m gonna tell you about it!
– The Strawberry Macaroons and rich Chocolate Log Cake were perfection. Definitely worth the calories.
Chef Volae told Suga they made a special effort to bring out the taste of the flavour of Rainforest Caribbean’s Seafood and of course you can’t do that by piling on a sauce. So hubby and I definitely appreciated their mixed seafood tossed in fettuccine with sundried tomatoes in a very light Mondavi Wine, butter and garlic sauce. Surely the Fit Happens with Gabby way. Nailed it!
All you can eat for J$10,000 with a live band and wait staff that we gave an A for effort. This experience was definitely value for money, especially as we continuously strive to revive Downtown, Kingston.
Same time, same place each month Chef Volae, ROK Hotel Kingston and Rainforest Caribbean? We’ll see!
XoXo,
Suga

Want to Enjoy Easter, but stay on your Fitness Mission?
Easter Brunch or Dinner can feel just as special at home as they would at a restaurant with a little planning and prep.
Try these Dishes in the Kitchen:
1. DEVILED EGGS
An Easter classic. Great brunch side or appetizer.
Use hot or mild pepper sauce, try dill or a sweet pickle relish, use fat-dree mayo and add a sprinkle of fresh Chives for more flavor.
2. Not a Deviled eggs fan? Try SPINACH AND MUSHROOM QUICHE or one of my faves, a CALLALOO FRITTATA.
Ensure you use unsweetened Almond milk and a low fat cheese such as a part skim mozzarella.
3. VEGGIE SIDES
Take advantage of seasonal flavors and root vegetables to add colour nutritional value to your Easter table. Root vegetables include carrots, parsnips, beets, red onion and sweet potato.
4. CORIANDER AND LEMON CRUSTED SALMON with Asparagus Salad and Poached Egg
5. CARROT CAKE OR YOUR OWN VEGETARIAN EASTER BUN!
Use whole-wheat or spelt flour (hulled, purer wheat), Unsweetened Almond milk, Cinnamon and Agave to sweeten instead of sugar.
If you aren’t Vegetarian, please also cook or bake with Olive oil or Vegetable oil, not Coconut oil. We will leave that debate for after Easter. 🙂
Have a Happy, Holy and Restful Easter.
Remember Balance is key.

Did You Miss Get Fit Tips with Gabby on MELLOFM88 ? Thanks HEART Foundation Jamaica and Partners for Sponsoring!
1. MAKE IT FUN
Try to incorporate what kids like into their fitness routine. If they love dancing, consider taking them to dance class, or if they like to splash around in water, take them to swimming lessons.
2. SET GOALS AND CELEBRATE ACHIEVEMENT
Make the goals realistic and achievable.
E.g. Completing a certain number of laps around the track. Give them something to work towards and provide a reward such as, a special outing or a small treat.
3. BE A POSITIVE ROLE MODEL
Parents play a crucial role in shaping a child’s attitude towards fitness.
Parents should prioritize their own fitness and let their children see that. Show enthusiasm and commitment.
Go for a run together. This also strengthens your bond and creates memories.
4. ENCOURAGE VARIETY
Kids get bored easily, so try to keep them engaged and excited about fitness, Sometimes you may have to try new sports with them and develop their range of skills and interest.
Martial Arts is a good one that also encourages a different level of focus and discipline.
5. CREATE A SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT
Offer praise, encouragement and guidance. Also be patient and understanding when they face challenges.
Teach them that perseverance and effort are just as important as success.
