Cooking in the Caymans!
Yesterday, we spent the day at the resort enjoying the pool, taking a few walks on the beach, reading and relaxing. It was truly heavenly. I decided to do a little video of the resort, so hopefully this will work for you. As well here’s a few pics from our day relaxing.
Dinner Fix Cayman Style
My original plan was to blog my families experiences with the Dinner Fix Challenge, but this opportunity to come to Grand Cayman came up so quickly, I haven’t had time to start the Challenge. I did however, get to make a really nice dinner here last night, and it happens to be one of Mackenzie’s favourites. I ended up cheating a little bit and used a seasoning I bought in the grocery store made by www.atasteofthai.com ‘s Chicken & Rice Seasoning as well as canned vegetables to prepare it quicker.
