Belize foods

I'm so slow when it comes to posting pictures for anything....here's a food tour of my honeymoon in Belize :)


Ceviche


Dragonfruit


Bread fruit


MMM..some sort of awesome blue hawaiian type drink


Stone crab claws with garlic butter...hubby's hand there for size reference

Chicken

I will gladly admit I'm not a huge fan of chicken, but I came up with this recipe that can be done either as a salad with rigatoni or as a pasta meal with some linguini. Either way I use whole wheat pasta which has this wonderful nutty taste. I first pan fry two chicken breasts that have been seasoned with the same seasonings as italian sausage. The chicken is tented to keep warm. All other ingredients are cooked in this same pan. These would include sun dried tomato, artichoke finely minced onion and garlic and all of it simmered in a sauce of white wine and chicken broth. Later it all comes together...spinach, basil, chicken, sauce and all. The picture could have come out better, but there's always next time!
