Sugar-free banana bread. Delicious, moist, and perfect for those of us who have to limit our sugar. It’s not vegan, but I am working on a vegan recipe. 4 years ago ·

Looks delicious-
thank you! i held restraint and froze it after eating one slice.-
You have very good self-control having such delicacies around you all the time. It’s not easy
-
You are absolutely right. Especially this time of year here in NYC.. our bodies naturally crave fattier foods. I can’t wait to leave this climate and head back to the Caribbean.

Creative. Have you thought about farming/restaurant business?
-
Thank you! I would love to get into agriculture in the near future which is why I’m looking to repatriate back to my home country, Trinidad and Tobago. It would be a lot easier to do it there. I am considering local coffee beans and cacao beans to start. As for the restaurant, I plan to have a small local coffee shop using my own coffee beans with freshly made reduced sugar/vegan pastries.

I have a recipe in which I use whole wheat flour. However this particular bread contains both unbleached flour and egg ONLY because I sell it wholesale to local coffee shops and the clientele there prefers the bread to be “conventional”. With that being said, I am working on a carrot loaf that will be sugar-free and made with whole wheat flour. i am looking to start making egg-free/vegan recipes. However, i wont ever do gluten-free baking. I worked in a bakery that speciailized in gluten-free pastries and the amount of fat and sugar that is used in those recipes made those pastries far unhealthier than if it was conventional. what do you think? sorry for the long response!!

Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Check out the real estate in rural areas and take it from there. Tourism is growing in 🇹🇹 and you know the vegans will venture out to the campo for the experience.

Thank you for the tip!! I don’t recall anyone giving such sound advice to me. Tourism is growing and I am hoping to see more black people there. I am sick of seeing Europeans/other non blacks who come and look down on the people and act crazy.

Other than the festivities, the majority of the tourists are European and Canadian. Especially during the dry season. It’s similar to tourism in 🇯🇲.
-
I’m not surprised! This has always been the case and they tend to receive better treatment or held on a higher pedestal than the black locals. I can only imagine how tourism in Jamaica is….
-

As someone who has frequented 🇯🇲 since 2003, I can tell you that European tourists are treated like royalty in the resorts. I go more like a local, but when I venture to the fancy areas, I experience covert racism. The only places in the Caribbean that I’ve been to that didn’t treat the Europeans better than the black foreigners was Grand Turk, 🇦🇼, 🇩🇴 and 🇭🇹.
-
This doesn’t surprise me.. even I as a native faced racism in the more tourist areas. I am surprised that in DR you received great treatment..I’ve been wanting to go for years and I think 2021 is the year for me. So many Afro-countries I want to visit. This may sound crazy, but I sincerely have no desire to ever visit a European nation. Why visit where I’m not wanted?

Contrary to popular belief, 🇩🇴 is a VERY friendly country. There is xenophobia towards Haitians, but they know who the western blacks are and they love us. If anything, I experience preferential treatment in 🇩🇴.
-
Wow!! Sigh I wish that xenophobia didn’t exist but then again that is all thanks to Trujillo primarily. It’s scary how his legacy still lives on even though he is long gone.

The politicians of each nation needs to come together and form a better relationship. It’s rediculous to have 2 nations on one island with such tensions. Especially since people cross the border all the time for business. Both countries are hostile towards each other. In 🇭🇹, they’re still salty about the perejil masacre from 80 years ago.
-
I agree.. it’s not as if they are on separate islands. I understand their anger as the massacre was over something silly as parsley, but it’s time to move on. You’re right, both countries need to come together. This situation reminds me a bit of tribalism. Other Caribbean countries tend to hold hostility towards another for no reason.
