Honduran Breakfast at Garífuna Cafe

Good Morning World!

Last week I visited Garífuna Cafe. Garífuna Cafe is a small restaurant located in Dorchester, an area in Boston, MA, on the corner of Washington St and Glenarm St. It offers authentic Honduran breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It is a great location that is accessible by commuter rail and bus. The server was very friendly and accommodating to my father's requests. The inside is very clean and has a cozy atmosphere. Upon entering the establishment, my parents were taken back by the decor, which reminded them of their younger years growing up in Honduras.

Garífuna Cafe offers eight breakfast options. I ordered one baleada con pollo (baleada with chicken). It is a handmade tortilla with chicken, beans, cream, and cheese. You can also add eggs to this dish. The portions here are very large and one baleada was enough to satisfy my hunger. I was very pleased with the tortillas. Unlike store bought tortillas, the ones they make are thick and flavorful. It seems as though the beans are pureed for this dish. My parents likes her beans mashed and not completely pureed, and this was the only thing they found dissatisfying about this dish. Other than that the taste was delightful and we would definitely return to the cafe. If you are looking for an authentic Honduran breakfast, Garífuna cafe is the place for you.

Morning Rush

Good morning guys! If you woke up late today, like I did, and need to grab your daily dose of caffeine, there’s no place better than Dunks. I grew up in New England so, yes, I am a Dunkin’ girl 💁🏻. I quickly got ready and started my day by walking to Dunkin’. On my walk, I had a good feeling that there wouldn’t be a line so maybe I would finally be able to get the donut I’ve been wanting to try. The past few times I’ve gone to Dunkin’ they never had the donut I’ve wanted ☹️. I got to Dunkin’ and there was no line and they didn’t have the donut that I wanted.  So, I ordered my usual iced coffee with Carmel mocha swirl and the purple potion donut!                                                                (Photo by SG) So I guess you could say my day is going alright, despite the fact I woke up late. I ...

Pastia for Breakfast

Good Morning! Today I will show you how I made pastia. I saw this recipe on ABC's The Chew,  and I had to try out this Italian breakfast dish. The original recipe feeds 10-12 people, so I made it to feed 5-6 people. I also made some other small adjustments. To make the dish, I used the following ingredients: 1/2 pound of linguine 1 pound of turkey bacon 1 yellow onion 6 eggs 1 cup of pecorino romano (grated) 1/4 cup of provolone 1/4 cup of parsley Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (grated) Directions: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Boil the linguine 2 minutes longer than package instructions. Saute bacon until cooked through but not crispy for 5 minutes. Cook onions in the same pan with olive oil for about 5 minutes. Crack eggs into a large bowl and whisk them. Add the pecorino romano, provolone and parsley to the eggs. Put the pasta, bacon and onions into a bowl. Stir and then let it cool. Left: Eggs mixed with pecorino romano, provolone and parsley. Right: Lin...
