Jamaican sweet festival dumplings always remind me of my now departed former pastors wife. She would make these and sneak me bags of them on Sundays when I was first a child, then a teen and finally as a young married mom.
They are delectable crispy on the outside, soft and warm on the inside morsels with a hint of sweetness that are enjoyed on their own but also pair perfectly with spicy or savory foods, making them a staple on most Jamaican dinner tables. The recipe is simple, but for me, they are packed with tradition and memories of the sweetest Jamaican woman who has made a huge impact on my life.

MEXICAN STREET CORN SALAD
You’ve got to make this incredible salad I just whipped up! I picked up a huge bag of english cucumbers, grape tomatoes and jalapenos from one of our many local greenhouses today out by Desert Blume and this is what I came up with. It’s my take on a Mexican Street Corn Salad, and it’s seriously amazing. Think charred corn with a generous kick of jalapenos, smashed cucumbers to cool that “kick”, zesty lime, an abundance of other delicious ingredients and the tastiest dressing to bring it all together. It’s like a fiesta in every bite! It’s a game changer for using up excess cucumbers and tomatoes.
