Trinidadian Cooking in the UK {Multicultural Meal Plan Mondays}

I love food and I enjoy cooking but I must admit I’m not the best at presentation. Ironically since becoming a parent I cook less but graciously Hubby pulls up the slack. Since I come from Trinidad, I thought I’d share some recipes and ideas for Trinidadian cooking.

In a quest to resume cooking more for my family I thought I’d join my fellow bloggers from the Multicultural Kids Blog network and write a Meal Plan Monday post. Immediately, I can see the benefits: reduction of grocery shopping stress; less wastage; and a more balanced diet for the family.

Below are the meals  for the week starting 21st October ending on the Friday. I’ve borrowed a few recipes I’ve borrowed from Trini Gourmet (THANKS Sarina!)

I’m an expat mom, originally from Trinidad, West Indies. I now live in the Greater London, England. My blog Tiger Tales is about mainly about my son, Angelo and I. He’s part Chinese-Italian part Black West Indian. He looks totally like his dad, who’s Chinese-Italian. The blog is named in honour of Angelo, as he was born in 2010 the Chinese Year of the Tiger.  I write about my everyday life as an ‘older mom’. Since the blog was created I’ve since had a baby girl, Valentina, she features in the blog also.  I chart their milestones, touch a bit on early years learning and write product reviews from time to time. You can also find me on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, and Instagram.

    Wonderful meal plan, and like how she simplified it with the chart. Doesn’t look so overwhelming. 😉
