Dinner last night looked like this. Dhal, Beef and Dinner last night looked like this. Dhal, Beef and Potato Curry and Roti (for the gluten eaters). A meal like this would typically take a couple of hours to cook but I did this in 45 minutes with my @instantpotofficial. 45 minutes to cook three dishes!! The dhal cooks in 20 minutes, the beef pressure cooks in 30 minutes and the roti took 30 minutes. I did it all simultaneously because with the instant pot you set it and forget it. Check my stories and highlights to see how I did it! ⁣

Happy New Year!⁣ ⁣ I’m Althea. There are lot Happy New Year!⁣
⁣
I’m Althea. There are lots of new faces around here so I thought I’d introduce myself. I’m a mom of three. I spend most of my day caring for and loving on my family but when I’m not doing that you can find me in the kitchen. I love cooking and creating. I’m Guyanese by birth. Raised on the soil and transplanted in America in my twenties. Most of my recipes are grounded in Guyanese traditions. Others have a Caribbean flare. I love learning and mastering the traditional way of things and then remixing it for a simplified version. ⁣
⁣
I’m also a Whole30 Certified Coach. Life requires balance and  being a coach has taught me to balance all the flavor my ancestors gave me with the food that serves and nourishes my body. This means that I’ve got layers baby. Like a flaky roti. I love my traditional stuff but I also love all my Whole30 remixes. I also go through seasons like most of you and sometimes I’ll share straight traditional gluten filled deliciousness and sometimes I’ll share Wholesome, gluten free remixes. I hope you stay for the ride and for all of the flavor!!!⁣

This post is dedicated to all the cook-up rice si This post is dedicated to all the  cook-up rice sides/garnishes. Fried fish is cook-up rice’s bestie but sometimes I like to cheat with some oven broiled fish. Then I spice up my usual salad with this delicious slaw. And don’t forget that fried ripe plantains for the Holy Trinity of cook-up garnishes/sides. ⁣
