Don’t Get Bored Eating Healthy. Try Different Cuisines!

Suga visited Pho Today in New Jersey during the holiday season and it was a refreshing change for the palate.

My cousin and I enjoyed the Goi Chon Tom (Shrimp Summer roll), where there were healthier Vegetable & Avocado options as well.

Then we had the Pho Filet Mignon, with added vegetable options. It was rich with flavours and authentic. I love me some lemongrass!

It’s a Happy Monday with Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee!

Yesterday was Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee Day, but I don’t think most of us knew about it!

Calling on JAMPRO, our participating locations/brands to get us to #SiptheGreatest, embrace Brand Jamaica and have a productive 2022! Whether it is Coffee Roasters Jamaica (Ig:@coffeeroastersjamaica), Moy Hall Estate Coffee (Ig:@moyhallcoffee), 24 Seven Café at The Jamaica Pegasus, Ragamuffin Café, Rituals Coffee House, Stoneleigh Coffee (Ig:  @stoneleigh.coffee), Cafe Blue (Ig: @cafeblueja) or Jablum Coffee (Ig: @jablumcoffee), you name it!

We started our morning with JABLUM GOLD, then later in the afternoon after 4pm, why not have another cup?!

Most locations closed by then, but not Café Blue, Constant Spring. Thanks for my Mochaccino with Almond milk!

#tbt to a Healthy, but Memorable Dinner from the Renewed Hard Rock Hollywood, Florida!

Charred Octopus with Romesco sauce and roasted Marcona Almonds. (US$22)

Throwback to probably the best Octopus I’ve ever had, 3 Thursdays ago!

Suga had a GNO at Council Oak Steaks & Seafood, a staple of the renewed Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida.

The menu offers prime cuts of beef, signature raw bar & delectable seafood selections, and more. I heard of their state-of-the-art wood fire grills and Josper coal ovens and was eager to try their Lamb Chops, but they were unavailable that night.

So I had the most delish Charred Octopus as a starter with Romesco sauce and roasted Marcona Almonds. Perfectly grilled. Tender, succulent, with a crispy outside and slightly smoky flavour from the wood fire grill.

I then enjoyed the Parmesan crusted Salmon, complemented by a tasty Beurre Blanc sauce with a glass of vino.

Excellent service and food, accompanied by live entertainment. Their menu has high quality options that are value for your money.

**Reservations recommended** Council Oak Steaks & Seafood is #SugaEndorsed.

Happy Monday & Back to Work!

Happy Monday and Back to Work!

I will admit, that’s not Apple juice. It’s Scotch on the rocks. I think it is ok to bring a little vacay or holiday spirit back to work. Let’s be real, some of us think it’s 2020 all over again and need a strong one. Let’s try not to think that way though.

Of course numbers will sky rocket for January. Try to ignore it. We just concluded the biggest holiday of each year with lots of travelers. Continue to wear your mask and sanitize. Arrange to get your booster if you haven’t yet and remember that we can’t put our lives on hold until 2025 or however long this will last. You will be left behind. Notice I haven’t mentioned what ‘this’ is. We are moving forward.

For those of you like me with a never ending ‘To Do’ List. Let’s not obsess over it. As you check things off, more things will naturally replace them. Get to it when you can. Be confident you are doing your best.

Oh and I really hope they keep the kids in school. Cheers to Monday and have a great, productive week! 🥂

How’s the Pre-Christmas Burn Coming?! Ditch the Creamy Sauce!

Grilled Salmon with mashed potatoes and veggies from Fromage Brasserie

Filling, tasty & healthy all at the same time. Get your Pre-Christmas burn on. The Holidays are fast approaching and I’m sure we will celebrate whether we can afford to or not.

Last Sunday at Fromage Brasserie
in the The Market Place, I had the Grilled Salmon with mashed potatoes and steamed veggies.

I ditched the creamy sauce and requested a lemon sauce on the side. I didn’t get that, but the crusted almond topping was good enough for me.
