Fast & Easy Dinner: Jerk Burgers With Mango Salsa
Bored by the basic all-American burger? Take a trip to the Caribbean with this innovative recipe.
The beef patty is seasoned with jerk sauce and bread crumbs.
Caribbean Beaches Disappearing As Tons of Sand Is Stolen
I can almost feel the warm sand in this picture — though one criminal phenomenon is making the sand in the Caribbean "hot" as in stolen. On islands like Puerto Rico, Grenada, and St. Kitts among many others, thieves are actually stealing sand off the beaches for money.
Love Thy Neighbor: Caribbean Tribe to Keep It in the Family
Think your family meddles in your love life? What if President Bush was the one telling you who to marry? (Ow, my ears!
Fast & Easy Dinner: Caribbean Chicken Kabobs
During Summer, kabobs are ideal for quick, simple dinners. While you can load the skewers with any proteins or vegetables, this recipe takes inspiration from the Caribbean. Chicken chunks are seasoned with jerk before being layered with bell peppers, red onions, and pineapples.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Jerk Chicken With Corn Bread
Why not start the weekend with a spicy, fragrant chicken? This chicken is rubbed with a mixture of spices typical to Jerk seasoning: paprika, allspice, cayenne, and garlic powder. Although the recipe roasts the chicken in the oven, it would be equally delicious cooked on a grill.

Fast & Easy Dinner: Caribbean Pork and Plantain Hash
When you're stuck in a middle-of-the-work-week rut, a great way to spice things up is through food. While this exotic meal may sound difficult to make — the ingredients are a bit unusual — the cooking techniques are simple and ordinary. Plantains are sautéed with onions, bell pepper, and garlic before being tossed with chunks of pork tenderloin.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Caribbean Chicken Salad
Instead of serving chicken salad piled on top of a bed of lettuce, or slapped between two slices of bread, consider serving it in halved fruit. It makes for an exotic and interesting twist. This recipe seasons the chicken with green onions, pineapple, ginger, and water chestnuts.
Sunday BBQ: Grilled Jerk Chicken Wings
Somehow, I always forget that I'm a huge fan of chicken wings. They're simple to fix up, and are small enough that you don't feel like you're eating a lot — even after you've chowed down an entire platter. They also make perfect party food, and go great with the fall sporting season.
A Caribbean Resort Bans Cell Phones
I sometimes entertain the idea of going on a "gadgetless vacay" — no BlackBerry, no iPod, no iPhone and no laptop. As much as I would love some peace and quiet from my ringing, vibrating and blinking gadgets, I can honestly say that I like being somewhat connected. So when I heard the news that The Grenadines' Palm Island resort had banned the use of mobile phones on one of its beaches, I was totally shocked.
