The most delicious banana fritters with strawberry topping | Caribbean Cuisine | Saint Lucia.

  I had a couple of over-ripe bananas that had developed black spots on the skin. I don’t like to eat the over ripe bananas, I usually turn them into smoothies, milkshakes or prepare delicious fritters! The riper your banana is the sweeter your fritters will be. 

 Don’t overcrowd the pan and fry too many at once. It will drop the temperature of the oil. I usually do 4-5 at a time. 

Really quick & easy recipe! Serve with a drizzle of syrup or honey, a blob of ice cream, strawberry toppings and more. Really, the possibilities are endless, so do play around with how you wish to serve and have fun eating them! 

 


 

 

 Ingredients: 

2-3 ripe bananas, mashed 

2 tablespoons brown sugar 

1 egg beaten

 1/2 cup milk 

1 tablespoon melted butter 

1 cup all purpose flour 

1 teaspoon baking powder

 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg 

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 

pinch of salt 

Vegetable oil for shallow frying 

 

 Preparation: 

In a medium sized bowl add the mashed bananas, brown sugar, beaten egg, milk and melted butter and mix until combined well. 

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt. 

Add the banana mixture stirring until smooth. Let the batter rest for 5- 10 minutes. 

Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet/pan over medium heat. 

Place a spoonful of the batter into the hot oil and fry 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through the middle.. Do not overcrowd the pan, It will drop the temperature of the oil. I usually do 4-5 at a time. 

Flip the fritters, fry until golden brown. Remove fritters from oil and place on a tray lined with paper towels. 

You can sprinkle powdered sugar on top or any topping of your choice. I made a delicious strawberry sauce for topping. See below for recipe. Homemade strawberry topping! 

Strawberry Sauce Ingredients: 

1 lb Strawberries, rinsed, hulled and thickly sliced 

1/3 cup granulated sugar 

1 Tbsp lemon juice (from 1/2 Lemon) 

 How to Prepare this Delicious Strawberry Sauce: 

1. In a medium saucepan, combine sliced strawberries, 1/3 cup sugar and 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice. 

Place over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally. The strawberries will release juice without any mashing required. 

2. Reduce heat and simmer 20-23 minutes or until sauce is thickened, stirring occasionally. 

Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Keep in mind sauce will thicken up slightly as it cools and even more after refrigeration. 

Voila! It's done! 

 


 

 This strawberry sauce goes well over ice cream, pancakes, waffles, pie, cheesecake, banana fritters and more!

Baked Chicken

  Baked Chicken | Simple Meal Ideas | Cooking Tips       No recipe today, however this is today's cooking tips and a simple meal idea:   Baking Chicken tips:   Rinse the chicken and pat it dry before baking. Once you remove the chicken from its package, rinse it under cool water in the sink (note: always sanitize your sink with disinfectant afterward). Next, pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture will ensure you get extra crispy skin.   To reduce fat and calories, you can skin chicken legs.  Prepare all ingredients and preheat the oven to 400°F.   Spices: I like to use cumin, onion (grated) garlic (grated), paprika, celery powder, cayenne pepper and dried thyme if you have. Please make sure they are fresh! Spices are delicious, but a stale spice can easily ruin a dish. However, you are free to try different spice combinations.   The secret to making them crispy? Don't bake the chi...

One Day at a Time

  One Day at a Time      Working out takes courage and self-motivation. It’s not always about losing weight — for me, it's about staying healthy, strong, and grateful that I can move. Whether it's Taekwondo or Zumba, my goal is the same: to stay active, to keep my energy flowing, and to enjoy the process — no stress, no pressure, just one day at a time. At my age, it may be harder to see quick results, but that doesn’t stop me. I focus on progress, not perfection. Some days, I don’t even want to leave the house — but that's when I give myself that little pep talk, reminding myself why I'm doing this. And once I start, no matter how tough the session gets, I’m always grateful I showed up. Because being able to move, stretch, kick, and dance is a blessing — health is true wealth. Every workout is a victory over excuses, a reminder that I am stronger than my doubts. Progress may be slow, but as they say, Rome wasn’t built in a day. Slowly but surely — I’m building s...

I am seated at my desk in the lobby with this magnificent view of the ocean. Reminds me that I need " vitamin Sea !" Oh well!!  Since I have been back on the job, it's been quiet but gives me enough time to get back in touch with reality after one month vacation that was super! Today, my blog will be short because I am exhausted. However, I need to share a little information with you about a Town in Martinique called Saint-Pierre which I visited last week.

Martinique Aimé Césaire International Airport Last week Friday 6th October 2017 at 5 PM, I arrived at the airport in Martinique after an eight (8) hour flight from Paris.
