What Inspires me to Cook

From the day my mom decided she wanted to be a Vegetarian, is when I started taking cooking serious. It was either that or starve, lol not saying I'm not into the whole vegetarian idea. Needless to say it isn't for me. Over the years, I adapted into cooking like a natural, combining flavors, and the list goes on. My love for cooking continues to grow, one of the many things that inspire me is the people I meet from all over the world. What connects people is food, endless conversations can be started based on food. Relationships are ignited through food, and you get my drift. My dream use to be to one day open a Restaurant, not with all the added frustration that comes with it. After thinking long and hard, I'd be comfortable as a Private Cook and working festivals. Cooking isn't my profession, rather a hobby. My field is with computers, guess you can call me a geek and a cook lol. Please fill free to comment, and if you have some amazing recipes you'd like for me try reach out! don't be shy. Again thanks for joining me on my food journey and I hope you enjoy some if not all of what you see ~Chef Meeka~

Red Rice


 Who loves Red Rice? I most definitely do. I made this a few weeks ago, and everyone loved it. I don't eat pork, so I used Turkey Bacon and beef Kielbasa. This goes great with wings and greens😄that rhymed just now, I love it. The recipe is real simple, and tweak it as you like for flavor.

  • 1lb Beef Sausage
  • 1 bell pepper chopped
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 (6 ounce) can of tomato paste
  • 2 cups long grain rice
  • 1lb turkey bacon fried
  • 2 tsp black pepper 
  • 2 tsp salt 
  • 2 tsb sugar
  • 3 cups of water 
After you've fried the peppers, bacon, and keilbasa you can add the other mixtures. Bring to a boil add the rice, let sit for about 5 mins then transfer to baking dish. Fluffing occasionally, bake until rice is soft.... Enjoy!
