Local Eats @ Victoria Grill


Ah, Fried Green Tomatoes! If you've never had these, you need to. And if you live in Bermuda, you can have these babies at Victoria Grill. The restaurant recently revamped it's menu to focus on seasonal food, meaning the menu will change every few months.

Right now, they are serving up southern coastal American food with the likes of chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, fried green tomatoes, a barbecue platter with brisket, pulled pork and smoked sausage and so much more.

I ate there on Friday night with my boyfriend and we were completely blown away by the menu. Chef Tom Tabor is amazing and sends out these beautiful plates of food with bold flavours.

Check out my review here.

Spicy 3 Bean + Turkey Chili



I told you I would be sharing healthy recipes in the new year! This is one of them. I love chilli. It's hearty, comforting, delicious and most importantly, healthy. My mom made chili a lot when I was a child but it was always a vegetarian/vegan version. I started making my own recipe about three years ago. I always stick with turkey since it's a lean protein but you can use beef, chicken or omit the meat entirely and make a veggie chili.

Happy New Year!


Happy New Year everyone! I always get excited when the New Year rolls around. It means we can have a fresh, new start and hopefully leave everything else in the past. This year, instead of having resolutions, I've decided to just be better. Be better at being healthy and fit, be better at saving money, be a better reporter, be a better mother/girlfriend/sister/daughter/friend/etc and just be a better person overall.

I find when I make resolutions that don't actually stick so I've decided to keep it simple and just try to be better in all areas of my life. As fas as the health/fitness goes, I will not be dieting but I will be living a healthier lifestyle so expect to see healthy recipes on this blog. Of course I will continue to bake but there will be recipes that are delicious and healthy.  Stay tuned :). Here's to 2013!
