Porridge is a great way to start the day, full of fibre to keep you fuller for longer.
When having Porridge, have Oatmeal or Peanut Porridge.
Plantain porridge has too much sodium and fat; Hominy Corn porridge has too much sugar and sodium; Cornmeal porridge is very high in saturated fat.
*When you would like to have Porridge the healthy way, ensure that Condensed/Coconut/Evaporated Milk etc. are not used and only Skimmed/Almond Milk are used.
The Porridge may not be as thick, but it is much healthier!
Recipe for Peanut Porridge by Winsome Murphy (Edited)
Ingredients
1 cup raw Peanuts
1 cup Oatmeal
1 tbsp. Flour (Preferably Whole Grain/Oat Flour)
1 tbsp. Cornmeal
1 Cup Almond/Skimmed Milk
A pinch of Nutmeg
½ teaspoon Vanilla extract
½ tsp. Salt
Water as needed (approximately 2 cups)
Method:
Place the Peanuts in a blender and process until it is almost smooth.
Remove the Peanuts and place in a container.
Place 1 cup of water in a pot to boil and add ½ tsp. of salt.
Place the Oatmeal in a blender and process until it becomes power.
Combine the Flour, Cornmeal, Peanut, Oatmeal in a container.
Slow pour water in the container and mix the ingredients to make a liquid paste.
Pour the liquid paste into the boiling water.
Stir until evenly mixed. (Do not let the flour get lumpy)
Cover and cook on medium setting. To prevent the porridge from boiling over, lift the cover and allow steam to escape.
After 12 minutes turn the setting to low then add the Vanilla extract, Nutmeg and Milk.
Stir until evenly mixed. Cover and cook for another 2 minutes.
Turn of the heat and allow the Porridge to slightly cool before serving.

I am so enthusiastic to finally share the joy I feel each time I have Chilly Witch Ice Cream and Sorbet, notably after I earn my carbs.

So far, the 00-Heaven, a luxury chocolate blend made with One One Cacao’s delicious, rich, Jamaican
dark chocolate is my favourite.

GW Art’s Collection was held in the Rio Bueno Suite of the Jamaica Pegasus last week Saturday evening. The weather held up and a few persons even came out within the first hour of the show, but the majority filtered in from 6pm onwards.
Guests appreciated the colours and textures used by the artist, as well as the variety of pieces on display. The Collection definitely represented GW Art’s motto that ‘GW Art is for Everyone’.
Acrylic on canvas was the main medium used for wall paintings, big and small, framed and unframed.
Homey pieces greeted guests on the way in, followed by a wall of nature.

The standout piece for the night, ‘Connected’ showed depth and good technique from the artist.

‘Connected’ had quite a bit of representation for 1 piece and the artist ensured her perspective for it was expressed in her Lookbook, which ended up being passed around by guests with much excitement. The Lookbook included a chronological order of pieces from the current and previous collections with a bit about the artist, her perspective on each piece and how GW Art began. The Lookbook was dedicated to the artist’s late father and past West Indies Cricketer, Basil (Shotgun) Williams. Gabrielle plans on updating this lookbook as more pieces are created.

These pieces showed the trendy side of GW Art and ‘Blessed’was a favourite, with replicas ordered throughout the night.
Amongst the smaller paintings, ‘Our Doctor Bird’ was another favourite, with light brush strokes. The piece was inspired by the artist’s outing to Cafe Eits one morning for breakfast, where the hummingbirds would often come and go to their trees on property in the midst of a calm and cool ambience.

‘Figure 8’ and ‘Foreplay’ were quite a hit with the men.

[Photo: Kirk Wignall]With GW Art, it’s always wine o’clock, so wine was complimentary to guests complemented by what was on offer from the 3 selected, local artisans. Gabrielle Burgess of Suga Lifestyle, under which GW Art falls, knew that Jamaican made cheeses from Outland Hurders Creamery & Farmstead, Homemade Jams and Pepper Jellies from Chorlavi’s, along with bean to bar 71% dark Chocolate from One One Cacao would not only pair well with the Wine and Prosecco offered, but pair well amongst each other as well.
The artisans were pleasantly surprised, realising this during the event and were seen purchasing from each other. This is what Suga Lifestyle and embracing Brand Jamaica is all about!
