US Virgin Islands

With a sunny and warm climate that doesn’t falter seasonally, there is always a reason to celebrate in the Virgin Islands—and where there is a celebration in the islands, there is food. Caribbean dishes show off local flavor, while close proximity to the U.S. makes American dishes common as well. Dining out you will find a variety of cuisines available including French, Italian and Asian, but traditional local fare shouldn’t be missed. The islands are especially famous for their fresh fish, kallaloo soup, sweet potato pie, and fried okra. And don’t forget the rum! The most popular is Cruzan Rum, manufactured on St. Croix. In order to give a boost to the economy, U.S. customs lets travelers take home an extra bottle on top of the 5-liter liquor allowance, so save room!

I like things spicy so I add just a touch of cayenne pepper.

Banana Crumb Muffins

Reviewed on Nov. 26, 2008 by GISELLE73

This was absolutely a hit in my house and at church.I took others advice and added the cinnamon to the muffin batter.I used oil instead of butter in the batter and dark brown sugar. We had a breakfast at church and that was the first thing to go. I had 2 teenage boys beg me to make more! I doubled the recipe and it made 3 batches of mini muffins and I got 3 little bundts out of it too. Baked the minis at 400 degrees for 12 min. And the bundts at 350 for 15 mins. Awesome recipe! Thanks
