How To Make Trini Coconut Bake And Bodi (Long Beans) Talkari. Another throwback to Sukkot.
The first memories of coconut bakes were of those being made on a fireside, outdoors in a pot. There'd be a metal sheet with lit coals on the top of the pot, which would be balanced perefectly atop the firside. The rolled out dough would be inside the pot, cooking slowly and sitting snuggly in the midst of this nostagic setup. The end product was called 'Potbake.' The visual of this gave birth to the famous Trini riddle "fire on top, fire below!" If you know, you know. I couldn't do the bakes the old time way, however oven baked bakes are just as delicious and fun to make. Every activity presents an invitation to you to create something great. That is to say, seal each chore and duty with a great intention and positive mindset. I did this during Sukkot, it was rainy but cozy and to be quite honest, this was one of the best coconut bakes I ever had. Enjoy.

This last term was one of the more challenging terms. So, deep breaths were taken, we put on our big girl gear and forged ahead using the energy we had to really push through another trying time in our lives. The focus was on school and the ducklings did not disappoint. They worked tremendously hard and their hard work paid off. I am indeed a proud mom. Sending blessings, love and well wishes t...

A little throwback to Sukkot from a few weeks ago. This particular day was one of the absolutely perfect ones. From the beginning to end, and so I'm sharing a few scenes from the day which reinforce the beauty and sophistication of simplicity. Suri lost Elmo for a few days, so, the evening turned into a little celebration for her. We turned an inexpensive pack of ramen into what I would conside...

This was our very first breakfast in the Sukkah while celebrating our second Sukkot. I am a lover of chataigne (breadnuts) and anyone who has had a close personal encounter with the cleaning of chataigne can quickly realize that it is no easy task. I can't clean chataigne regularly but I found a way to get almost the same taste and texture from CABBAGES. Hide your cabbages from Ellis. Enjoy. #f...

Being blessed with bunches of green bananas had me wide eyed and happy. This could have been exactly what my body needed for repair. Thanking Kudoos and Vashti for sharing of their bounty. Praying to pay it forward. This first quick, easy and tasty dish was a simple salt fish and green banana stir fry with lots of aromatics. Spicy and satisfying.

We celebrated Sukkot recently and this how we spent our first day preparing and getting our minds right for the Feast of Tabernacles. Not an ordinary occurrence. While preparing for any event, we must always have a reminder in the back of our minds (and sometimes at the forefront), that not everything may run smoothly. Hiccups, bumps, hurdles and challenges always present themselves in the snea...

Chag Sameach! Sukkot is here once again. Also know as the Feast of Tabernacles, Sukkot is a biblically commanded holiday which begins on the 15th day of the seventh month on the Jewish Calender, Tishrei. One of the most exciting parts of celebrating this Feast, is the construction of a Sukkah or Booth or Tent. For seven days we "lived" in these tents. Now, we did not actually sleep in our Sukka...

I always hear everyone refer to heaven and to reach there we have to die but they never realize that the life we create for ourselves is either the heaven or hell. When I see your videos I feel the grounding energy around you and the children. Keep it up. I am doing okay the holidays are kind of sad since I lost my son, but I have three others to still look out for. A mom is there forever, even when we change this body we protect from the universe . Lots of love and blessings.. 😘
Blessings into 2025 Ms Ellis n family. Ty for shares.
I receive all your blessings with a happy and grateful heart. Wishing you and your loved ones co tinted blessings and love always ❤️ ❤🪁🌹🫂🕊🙏🏻💛🌺🌹🎁💕✨️💯🦋

Just wondering...I have seen someone beat an egg and brush the top of the coconut bake lightly with the egg before putting it in the oven. I tried it once and the top of the bake was nice and soft.
Brethren 🎉. They do that for breads and other pastries. I never tried it on coconut bake. BUT who is to say it's not allowed 🤔 😉 . It is something I just might try. 🎉❤

Happy holidays to you all!! Food looks delish!! ❤. Your bake looks great! Have you had your thyroid levels checked lately?? TSH, T4, T3. Sometimes slurred speech, mixing up your words, lower energy, tiredness are some symptoms of thyroid.
I must say, I have not, but girllllll, I does just be tired 😅. I does wuk hard, however, your concern really touched my heart ♥️ 🌹🌺💛🙏🏻🕊🫂
@ I know that you work very hard, raising 3 children is no easy feat for anyone, but their test results and overall happiness speaks to your hard work. So keep doing what you’re doing!! Your reward comes from above and trust and believe it comes when you need it not when you want it. Love to you and the 3 ducklings 🐥 wishing you all the best for the New Year! 🎊🎉💖☀️🥳🫂
