As many of you know, a store I frequent for unique, healthy and affordable items is Trader Joe’s. Many who have never been inside think it will be too expensive or filled with fancy items that they will never use. I disagree. Trader Joe’s is where you can find foods like cookie butter, lemon pepper flavored noodles, curry sauces, spices for under $2, and pink salt! It’s awesome, and I can’t get enough. So let’s make a deal….
I am doing a contest. There will be two winners:
1. I will use a random selector for those follow me on Twitter, Facebook or subscribe to my blog. Send email to fifi@thedivinehostess.com with your name and screen name on Twitter, FB or the email you used to subscribe. The winner will receive a $5 gift card to Trader Joe’s by mail.
2. The first person to submit a photo of any of my blog recipes WITH a short review of how it turned out will win a $10 gift card to Trader Joe’s by mail.
Thanks!

Sometimes I have to be on the other side of the table to understand how to be a better writer. It’s hard to translate every little thing that happens in the kitchen, and to widdle it down to one little page of instructions. Every now and again, I venture out and test the recipes of fellow bloggers. This is such a delicious dish– I just had to share! I did not have the ingredients at the time to make the sauce, but I’m sure it’s delish! Also, I had to use a spatula to smash the plantain down. This was a very easy recipe. Found at:

Spring is my favorite season. I love the flowers that come into bloom, the delicious stone fruit that comes into maturation, and the extra sunlight. Spring is a fickle season, though. It has one foot in winter cold, and the … Continue reading
