News Americas Now, NEW YORK, NY, Fri. Nov. 4, 2016: While I do celebrate each month, November is super special.
It is special because it’s my birth month and the month for great annual feasting – Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving Day is only 20 days away so it’s is time to get the menus ready for the celebration of giving Thanks and having great meals with friends, families, co-workers and neighbors.
As you know, my major meals/dinner parties must have a Caribbean twist because the Caribbean cuisine is the best in the world!
So as I look ahead to my Thanksgiving dinner menu, The Caribbean flavors I am thinking of incorporating are jerk seasoning, mango/pineapple salad and coconut cocktails.
Today I will share with you my recipe for my Caribbean Thanksgiving Salad – with mango- pineapple, watercress, roasted beet salad with goat feta cheese.
