#tbt to The Bread Pudding Factory Visiting Me With Goodies!!!

Gabby Burgess, Founder of Suga Lifestyle with Owner of The Bread Pudding Factory, Nikeisha Reynolds.

If You Know You Know! I’m sure Suga Bears missed Nicky from The Bread Pudding Factory (Ig: @thebreadpuddingfactory) at Christmas Connection in December. There were some mishaps that occurred in the kitchen and it halted mass production.

Many of us missed out on that one of a kind goodness that only The Bread Pudding Factory can produce. I am so happy she still paid me a visit at the show and I could enjoy Babka, Bread and more for the season!

They are back in business! Order up for the weekend, especially if you earned it! #SugaEndorsed

Babka!!! Ask for the flavours!

Byblos for Mediterranean in Miami!

Gabby Burgess a.k.a Suga with friend, Diane Baboolal at Byblos Restaurant on December 17, 2021.

Byblos Miami is finally checked off Suga’s list and worth it!

I experienced a marriage of Eastern Mediterranean cuisine with strong influences from both traditional and local ingredients Byblos !

Watch “Byblos for Mediterranean in Miami!” on YouTube here:

https://youtu.be/HSqIxgNDRCY

You just got to love servers that know the menu inside out with the best suggestions too!

The Duck Kibbeh’s flavours are out of this world, the roasted pine nuts add a tasty, fun crunch to the Hummus Royale, the Black Truffle is the way you should do rice all the time with flavours complementing each other and so outside of the box. Lastly, the roasted Lamb Shoulder melts in your mouth and although I prefer the original version, they certainly do Baklava with a twist.

Byblos is #SugaEndorsed.

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!

Drink Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee! #Sip #Savour #LegendaryIndulgence

#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.

Parmesan crusted Salmon in a Beurre Blanc sauce (US$36)

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.

#tbt To Being Dolled Up In My ChelleMac Bag!


When I returned to the rock last week, I was so excited to receive my awaiting Christmas gifts!

My ChelleMac Bag (Ig: @chellemacbags) that hubby knew I had my eyes on is sooo fab. The attached mini $ purse is so convenient too, since I no longer carry a purse around with Covid. Great accessory while in my Jamaica Nice (Ig: @yesjamaicanice) Tank, also adorned in my Jamaican made bamboo wooden JIANBE (Ig: @jianbe_shop) Watch, topped off by the euphoric feeling of getting a fresh Mani Pedi from my favourite Spa in Kingston, the White Orchid Spa at The Jamaica Pegasus (Ig: @jamaicapegasus)
after returning from the cold.

Yes. Jamaica Nice!

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! 🥂
