Happy Easter - Enjoying the Bun without the Cheese

Easter is a very special time of year for us in Jamaica. We celebrate Jesus' death and resurrection. It is also a time when we eat alot of Bun and Cheese. You know as a food blogger I had to share. Growing up I always liked HTB Bun and Tastee Cheddar Cheese, but now that I am grown (still debating) I make my own.

There is something to be said about making you own treats and desserts. It is fresh and minus all the extra additives. Not saying they are not delicious, I just have a thing for hot and warm cakes. I have to taste it as soon as it comes out of the oven. Sometimes I have to remind myself that I need to take pictures. With a busy schedule, taking care of the kids, writing a cookbook I almost didn't get my own order in. But I was not to be deterred. I'm so glad I persevered. This bun is DELICIOUS. I don't even need cheese to eat with it.


I think I need another piece. It is so moist, not too sweet except when you meet up on a mixed peel. I have to say, I have a new appreciation for the mixed peel. Growing up I didn't really like it, but I think my pallet has matured. I am enjoying this very much.

There are so many other food traditions from around the world, what are some of your Easter traditions. Let us know.

Always remember to take life one day at a time
